Beach Bulletin Board for VBS

Directing our church's VBS is one of my most challenging but rewarding activities. This year's theme is Beach Bash, so I put together a promotional bulletin board using my Cricut cutting machine. This project took the better part of three days!

Easter Afternoon

After a fantastic service at RiverOaks Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, we enjoyed a traditional Easter afternoon, with dinner followed by egg-coloring and Easter baskets. Rainy weather deterred us from the usual egg hunt, and we certainly missed our daughter and her family (couldn't come because of work schedules). But it was a fun and relaxing afternoon with our "kids."

We were thrilled to attend the Debut Concert of Last Ones First, at RiverOaks Church. There was no admission charge, but tshirts and CDs were sold and donations were accepted for Mark and Tory's upcoming mission trip to Nicaragua. The music was wonderful, and Conner did a fantastic job with keys, percussion, and many vocal contributions. 

District Music Contest

This is Conner's first year to be in a school choir, so this was great experience for him, to compete at districts. He is also currently taking guitar lessons. He plays keyboard for the youth band at church. He also plays keyboard/percussion and sings background vocals in his dad's band, "Last Ones First."

Grandson's "Valentimes" Day

My littlest grandchild lives on the opposite side of the state, so I don't get to see him as often as I would like. He called to tell me about his box he made at his preschool's Mom's Night (and Mom sent me a pic). Then, his mom sent me photos from his Valentine Party. I LOVE Valentine's Day, and I LOVE Dawson, so it was fun to put together this digital scrapbook page!

Christmas with Mother and Siblings

A special Christmas gathering at my house--the Wilson Family Christmas.

Christmas Blessings 2010

One of our many Christmas Traditions is family pictures by the tree. This "required" part of the Christmas Celebration was passed down from my paternal grandparents--even the "who" is to be in each picture: grandparents with grandchildren, and each family grouping.

Thanksgiving Digital Page

It's way past Thanksgiving now, but I just put together this digital page. It was a great family time!

Grandson Dawson's 4-Wheeler

This event took place in April, but I just today created the digital layout using the photo.

At Home in the Blizzard of 2011

We got about 14 inches of snow, on top of about an inch of ice, in the historical snowstorm and blizzard that hit our area (Wentzville/Troy, MO) on January 31-February 1, 2011.

45 Years

I created this page for a 5x7 frame. We had dinner at Brio Tuscan Grill to celebrate our 45th anniversary.

Thanksgiving Day Sneak Preview

This is an 8.5 x 11 inch layout, prepared for printing, so that I can keep the tradition of posting the menu in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day. I've been doing this for years, with a standard computer print-out. The kids all look for the posted menu, immediately after arrival on Thanksgiving Day. The Thanksgiving Menu is traditional and rarely varies, but they still want to see it "in writing!"
