Week 33, Nikki's Stocking Update

This post will be short and sweet!

I have been busy preparing for the 
9/11 National Day of Service on Saturday the 14th. 
Plus, I am helping some lovely people I know,
to care of their bedridden Mom. 
I go a little crazy sometimes. 

But here is the progress I have made!


Be Happy! Be Creative!

June's Scrapbooking Pages

More pages from my trip to Michigan, All of these pictures were taken after my cousin Val and I returned from England. 
This was our day trip to Lake Michigan. 
Val's favorite lake and it is beautiful. 


Cousins and Leo



Sights seen in Michigan!



Two-page layout, the background paper matches, otherwise each page has its own flavor.


More Lake Michigan, the sand was wonderful and very fine!

The year so far colored. The year is half over! 
I am still on target to make 72 pages for the year. 
I have 38 pages done at this point, so I have a cushion of 2 pages.

May's Scrapbooking Pages

I need to catch up on posting my scrapbooking 
pages for each month. 
The last ones I posted were in April. 
So here are my 6 pages for May. 
These pages are from the big trip I took in 2022. 


This is me sitting in Sky Harbor airport all excited 
and ready for my adventure.


 This is the second page and I am going into the tunnel 
under the tarmac at the Detroit airport. 


This is how the 2-page layout will look together. 


This was at my cousin's home. Her Dad was my mother's brother. 
Yes, we look like family.


Some pictures from her property, I forget how much land she has.
 She has a pond and lots of critters that visit.  
Yes, that is a deer blind. Cozy little place. 
And she likes to camp in style.

This is how the 2-page layout looks together.


We took a day trip to the Amish community. 
I really enjoyed the general store. 
Those are real fur pelts, each was beautiful. 


The wooden toys were well crafted. The whole series of Dick and Jane books, which are the books I learned to read. Lots of good homemade food and an old-fashioned water pump.


How the 2-page layout looks. 


May's goal counter is all colored. 


Have fun and be happy and creative!
