Backyard Buzz
Something was buzzing today. In the backyard. And nope. It wasn’t the busy bees that were busying around. It also weren’t antsy ants that made all the buzz. No, it actually was my sister and her husband (and me, too, for that matter, and the kids, of course) who were making a lot of ado about nothing, or well, maybe not really nothing, just a whole lot of dirt. Because my sister and her people had decided that it was about time to turn the entire side of the backyard upside down, because they want a new landscape around their home. Quite the buzz around home, I’m telling you!

Journaling Café: Fun Days
Summer is the time to have fun. I’m sure you’re having lots of fun with families, friends, the activities you’re doing, so it’s about time to start writing about all the fun days you’re having. Here are today’s journaling prompts:
And my page comes with it just as promptly. I journaled about the fun I had with my sister this summer. Take a look …
The Busy Life of a Hard-Working Man
My nephew. He’s a real busy man. Why? Because even on vacation he’s always hard working. Like today. He thought he may start an attempt to dig across our planet. And he got pretty far, I must say.
Too sad we had to say good-bye to France later in the day, or else who knows how much further he would have gotten. Busy little man, indeed!
The French Bet
Here, check this out:
This is the proof of a bet I made with my nieces and nephew. As we were on our way to France yesterday (you may recall our little weekend trip), the threesome wholeheartedly insisted that they’d be able to set up camp within 15 min. (we’re talking about 2 large tents here). I had a hard time believing this, so we made a bet, and as soon as we were ready to unpack the tents I set the timer. And though I wasn’t surprised that it took them a bit longer than they’d predicted, I still was pretty impressed by these teenage kids that indeed within half an hour they’d finished setting up two 6-8 people tents. Not bad, not bad! And so, who cares about a lost bet? Well done, kids, I’d say!
Someone hard at work …
And to prove to you that we’re actually having a good time together, take a look at this …
P2D: Remember This … Life is Beautiful
I found a fun page again that I took upon me to scraplift. Check out this layout, which was posted in the Sunday Sketch section at Studio Calico.
Like it? Me, too. What I loved about this layout apart from the way the title had been created, was the paper arrows, stitches, and the papers layered behind the photo. I also loved the bright and whimsical colors, so I went ahead and tried to incorporate most of these things on my own page …
Bienvenue Again …
It’s been just a tidbit over a year, but I’m back in France again. Nothing as exciting as Paris or Versailles (like last year), but it is France. (Although, I’d better keep silent about the fact that just looking across the river is looking back at Germany again.)
You see, when my sister invited me on a little camping trip with her family to France, there was no way I’d say no. Not so much because camping excites me so. Fromage (that’s cheese in French, I learned as much on our trip to Paris last year) on the other hand does excite me. Especially when it’s fromage à la française! And of course, that was one of the first things we did after arriving and setting up … we went and got us some real fromage for the weekend! Well then, cheers!
Freebie Friday: Find Joy – Part 5
Yes! Time to celebrate (and get scrapping, of course), because today you receive the last part of my scrapbooking kit “Find Joy.”
I hope you’ll have fun scrapping with this, and of course, if you like, I’d be excited if you could link me up with the pages you create with any of my freebie kits. (If you’ve missed a part, or older freebie kits, they’re still available for download, just see the tag “freebies” for more.) Of course, my terms of use apply as always, which means you can only use this kit or parts of it for your personal scrapping; no sharing in part or all (though you’re welcome to share links to mistyhilltops.com), no commercial use, etc. … just check the TOUs, if you’re in doubt.
And now that we have this settled, I’m excited to share with you a preview of what’s coming next:
This kit is called “Daybreak by the Sea,” and you can start collecting it next week. It’s jam-packed with unique goodies, so make sure to come back to get this free kit.
