Girl Scout Swimming Badge and Pool Party!

KMS 6th Grade Girl Scout Troop worked on their first badge as a Cadette today. The Girls had a great time and learned a lot. They also had fun time taking pictures Underwater with our FujiFilm Waterproof Camera. I think the pictures turned out great.

Town & Country Days 2010 and Junior Coronation!

Today is the start of the 11th Annual Town & Country Days.

Each year girls completing 4th & 5th grade can participate in the Junior Coronation. This year there were 9 girls that had their names in the running they each got to pick a envelope in the envelopes were freebies to local establishments and in 3 of them there were 3 white slips : 1 for the Junior Queen and 2 for a Junior Princess.

Well Ashllie picked an envelope with a White slip that read CONGRATULATIONS!! You are a 2010 KERKHOVEN Princess. Thank You for participating. Enjoy your year.

My sweet girl will be representing Our small Community in Upcoming Events through out the year and will be Riding in the Royalty Float in Tomorrow's Parade. We are so Proud of her this a Dream Come True for our daughter.

It just goes to show that no matter what cards life deals you can make dreams come true.

Crafting Bargains at Big Lots

We drove up to the VA in St. Cloud which is 160 miles Round Trip from home and before we left we made a couple stops.

We stopped at Big Lots and I was able to buy several Cuttlebug Disney Embossing Folders and Cutting Dies. Thanks to the Peas from Two Peas In A Bucket for the enabling posts :). From them I was able to find out about all these great deals that Big Lots had. I spent $32.21 and bought 15 items total which in my opinion was a awesome amount for Ashllie and myself to have tons of fun making crafts this Summer.

Here's the pictures of my Cuttlebug Loot.

Cricut Cake

I recieved my early Mother's Day gift today. Hubby bought me a Cricut Cake Bundle from HSN and I can't wait to use it. I still need to buy or make a cake to try it out plus I ordered the Cricut Cake toolkit and it still isn't here so I just want to wait on that as well. Here a few pictures I took of my New Kitchen Toy :=)
