Soccer

I have to give Bridgette a lot of credit. She's got part of my genes and, while not as dominate as Scott's, they are present. And I think, unfortunately, she has gotten my athletic ability. Which doesn't exist. But like I said, I have to give her credit. She trys really hard and really does enjoy soccer and want to play. When she first started playing soccer last year, Scott and I tried to make her understand that as long as she does her best, we will be proud. Last year, her best was pretty much picking grass nd running away from the ball. This year, she has figured out that as long as she runs with the ball it looks like she's working hard. But that's ok, I am proud of her anyway. And as long as she keeps asking to play, we'll keep putting her on a team.

This is what she looks like most of the time during the games (also, take note of her co-hort Lauren standing next to her. They are so much alike in personality is is scary):

But she does do this a lot to:

As a side note, Bridgette's team is so far kicking butt! They have won every game they played except one where they tied. Go Eagles!

Hershey Park

Last Sunday we went to the Cartech Picnic at Hershey Park. We had a blast spending time with Aunt Julie and Uncle Rand, the twins, G-Ma and Grammy, Pop Pop and Aunt Sarah!

They now have a "Kiss" Factory when you walk into Chocolate World. Bridgette got to try it out. Here she is by one of the machines.


Of course the Bussler family never gets to go to amusement parks on sunny, rain-free days and this trip was no exception. It was pouring when Scott took this pcture of us and I had just sat in a huge puddle!

Despite the rainy conditions, we really had a great time riding the rides and spending time together. Bridgette was even tall enough to ride some of the roller coasters and even *drumroll please!* the SUPER DUPER LOOPER! She loved it!

Silly Pictures

I found this cute website http://www.photofunia.com/ on another blog and decided to try it with some of my photos:

Doesn't Bridgette look so cute in the picture with the cats? And I'm pretty sure my little puppy Haru totally belongs on the one hundred dollar bill! There are so many other backgrounds that you can plug your photos into. I had a lot of fun experimenting!

ScrapPink Pics

ScrapPink was a HUGE success! I had a great time and I think everybody else did too. I forgot my camera (bad scrapper!) but one of my attendees graciously gave me her photos. Here's a few pics from the day:

There's Dana and Tiffany working hard:

I am looking up to avoid double-chin syndrome. Perhaps it was too much?:

My photographer for the day and her daughter:

Playing with my new Cricut Expression:




I have to say I was more than pleased with the way things turned out! with the exception of the cooling system it went off without a hitch. Thanks everybody who attended and I can't wait to see you all in November.

Happy Anniversary!

Well, I can't believe it but eight years ago yesterday I married the best guy in the whole world. He made me laugh the first time I met him and he keeps cracking me up to this day.

I don't have any pics scanned into the computer from that day so you'll have to make due with this one from the beach this year. (You really don't want to see my medusa hair anyway!) I think it's fitting because B took it!

Scott was sick and had to work all day so we didn't do much except go out to dinner. But we had fun and it was nice to spend some alone time together.

I love you sweetie and I can't wait for eight more!

ScrapPink!

In case you've been wondering what is consuming my time lately, I'm gonna tell you: ScrapPink!

I had a lot of fun planning it this year but now that it is getting down to the last week, I am sort of stressing. for those of you that don't know, ScrapPink is an annual crop/ event sponsored by Scrapbooks, Etc magazine. Part of the proceeds are donated to the Susan g Komen Foundation and Scrap stores all over the country participate. This year has totally exceeded my expectations! I have filled the goodie bags to the brim with donated products, I have lots of really cool raffle prizes donated by various manufacturers AND I have just about doubled the attendance from last year! Yippeeee! I think we will have a great amount of money to donate to this very worthy cause. And that makes me so happy as this cause is very close to my heart. My grandmother has been fighting cancer for about 5 years. It started in her breasts and then moved to her lungs and kidneys. She is a very strong lady and continues to amaze me with her ability to fight! So, if any of you reading are going to be around the Exeter/ Reading area this weekend, we would love to have you attend! It is going to be a really fun time and i'd like to get as big of a donation as we can to send in! And a special thanks to those already signed up. You guys are the best!

Well, back to planning!

Some *new* layouts

I have been a very busy bee in the scrapping department lately. One of my favorite manufacturers, Pink Paislee, just came out with some new stuff and I have been using it like crazy.
