They're everywhere. The menu was basicly the same as for us. Only there was no Dr. Pepper in Russia.

Just a few LO from this weekend.
Gifts just shows my gifts from this Christmas. That hand lotion that is my favorite is hard to find. The glasses case represents the new glasses that dd is getting for me. And last but not least, Eeyore, my favorite character. Every year someone gets a gift of one of those stuffed animals that sings, this year was my turn.
The untitled one is of the entrance to the Russian Circus.
And there is a photo of my world traveler of whom I am so proud. He is standing outside the airport waiting for their bus to arrive. It was the first time he was outside in Russia.

While DS was in Russia they got to see the Russian Circus. He really enjoyed it.

One of my Christmas gifts. It holds my Bible and note book perfectly.

While in Penza Russia, the group my son was with performed a play for the English speaking high school there. Part of the cast was interviewed for the local tv station.
While in Russia they rode the train from Moscow to Penza and back again before going home. There was a long walk in the cold and snow to get to their train.
While in Moscow they stayed at the Cosmos Hotel. They could see the Sputnik monument from their hotel room window.

These represent two very proud moments for this proud mom.
One is the first LO from ds Russia mission trip. Thanks to all of you who supported him financially and in prayer.
The other is a LO from dd graduation from college. We were so far away all we could get was this far away photo.

here is one more LO for Christmas!

just a couple of LO's from our Christmas. I have been scrappin quite a bit, but it is for a swap called trading pages, and I can't show them here until after they get to their new owners. It is a lot of fun for me to scrap other people's photos. Happy New Year to all. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving comments is always appreciated.

here are a couple of lo's of pics from this Christmas. dd and sil got mostly stuff for their kitchen.

This is of dd when she was about 4 years old. She loved to rub soft things on her face, and this stocking is super soft.

Did this LO with the new BPM kit. Out of desperation we used You Tube to learn how to use a swiss army knife to open a can. Worked too!

Just a funny picture of our cat Smokey inside a bag of clothes.

we made it through a very busy week. Ds had two performances this week of two different plays. Monday and Tuesday he had dress rehersals back to back for both of them each day. Thursday was the performance of "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and it was a great success. Got lots of good pictures as the lighting for the play was good for photography. Hamlet was Friday. It also went well. No pictures though because the stage lighting was pretty dark.
Dh is in Oklahoma right now as his step mother is in a coma after having a simple surgery. Not sure exactly what happened yet.

We often scrap the first time our children do something, but seldom do we get to scrap the last time. This is the last visit ds had with Santa. He was 8. I used the Swirlydoos kit for this LO.

This is my favorite of the Christmas cards I have made so far this year.

This is based on a sketch from the site called 52 sketches.

I wish the lighting was better on this one. The colors are much prettier and richer in real life.

This is my project for the Practical Scrappers challange this week, acrylic paint. I mixed blue and green paint to get just the right hue I needed for the flourish and scallop edge. I also painted the letters. Check out the Lo's this week.http://www.practicalscrappers.com/

I have added some challange blogs to my favorite scrappy sites. check them out!

today is Nov 8th. and with these four LO's I have 10 for the month so far.
