Scrap Queen

 We don't go bowling often because my kids like it but don't love it. I took some photos when we went with some friends. Figured I better scrap one of the few times we actually bowl! To scrap these photos I used a sketch challenge from the Sketch n Scrap challenge blog . I changed it a little bit to add a second photo.

 Back in October of 2019 both my kiddos convinced me to allow them to be in a Zombie photo shoot. I say convinced because I'm not a huge fan of Halloween or Zombies. Anyway, I did let them participate for the second time as they were in a similar photo shoot the year before. I'll admit these shoots are a lot of fun. To scrap these photos of them getting their Zombie Makeovers I used a sketch from the Sketch n Scrap challenge blog.

In 2019 we had our daughter at a private school and our son at a STEM school. We like the STEM school but it was proving to be a challenge having them at two different schools. So, two months into his 6th grade year we moved him to the same private school his older sister was attending. These are the photos from his "first day of the new school".
