Five for Friday

1. Last weekend was our town's annual Corn & Apple Festival.
I took Jonah & Sage to it on Friday, because the forecast wasn't good for the rest of the weekend.
I got some fun photos:

On Saturday, we went to the parade in the morning.

This is first time we've been able to watch the parade -- for the past

several years, we've walked with our taekwondo club.

I took this photo before it started (& before Austin joined us).

We managed to watch about a third of the parade before it started pouring!

2. Lucy came to stay with us again last week --

she'll be with us until mid-September.

3. I've been busy painting this week again at our middle school.

I got the doorframe and stairwells painted in both the Grade 7 & Grade 8 wings.

I actually finished everything yesterday, but they'd like me to paint

some doors in the high school now....

4. Sage & I are looking forward to participating in Papertrey's Stamp-a-faire tomorrow. 

We've got all of the supplies we need (except we forgot to get popsicle sticks --

and I don't think we can buy those anywhere in town...)

The first challenge was to decorate a white t-shirt.

At first, we were both going to each decorate one, 

but we ended up making her tee a team effort.

Sage came up with the idea of making a diamond using the Brushed Off stamp set.
I helped pick the colours and suggested the sentiment we could use.
 

In the end, I stamped the shirt, using some washi tape to make the outline

of the diamond shape.

The sentiments are from Wet Paint & Wet Paint II.

5. And lastly, I have a card to share for Kara's Pure Colour Challenge at Wplus9:

I combined some stamps to make my card: PTI's Twig Leaf, 

Wplus9's Watercoloured Anemones & SSS's Big Scripty Sentiments.

I thought the watercolour anemones would be lovely on a twig wreath.

To finish it off, I added a couple of PTI buttons and some button twine.

Since I used my MISTI to stamp it, I decided to make a second card right away, 

but I changed up the sentiment so I could give it to my church's visitation committee.

This sentiment is also SSS -- it's their Blessed stamp set.

I'm also linking this card up to this week's 

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: Anything Goes.

Thanks for looking!
