Black Spots??

Connor went on a field trip this week to the fire station.  He had a question for the firemen. “Do you have a dog with black spots?”  They didn’t but we learned that in the old days, when horses pulled the fire trucks, dogs were used to protect the horses. The Dalmatian would take up position just off the side and towards the rear of a horse and run with them.

I made this page for my first ever speed scrap Thursday night at ScrapMatters.  It was fun and what a quick method to made a page.  I used Haynay’s, My Magical Place.  You can find this wonderful kit at ScrapMatters.

Watch Me Grandma

WatchMeGrandma

Connor was showing me his best moves last weekend.  I was stuck on what to title the page and Dave gave me this idea. How many times do you hear that while playing with the kids???  I need to pick his mind more often!!  I used a free template, May 10th Template by Camijo and a free kit, Weekend Fun, Weekend Sun Newsletter Sampler by Simply J Studio and Haynay Designs.  Both are at ScrapMatters.
