Best attempts...

For the first day of school, I put a photo of us and their favorite toy into their back pack as a 'secret' way to have comfort if they get home sick or nervous.  They've never used it, but I'm sure it helps knowing it's there.

Here are some attempts to get a group photo this year.  Turns out, it's a lot harder with a dog. 




This page fits all 4 of the 'Scrap Our Stash' challenges for Scraptober Fest.



Scrap Our Stash: 2 Washi Tapes
Challenge YOUrself: a layout with you in the photo
Memory Nest: use sketch
