Triple the Sketch #8, not to mention, I SURVIVED!!!!!

I finished up another layout using the Triple the Sketch #8. Simple enough, but I like how it turned out. Using a Prima paintable paper, American Crafts & Doodlebug letters.

In other, more exciting news, I survived the Rockin' Birthday/Pool party!! We had a wonderful time, and best I could tell, the girls had a BLAST!!! We had over 60 people in attendance with 31 girls staying over-night. Here are a few pics!!

This first picture is of the beach towels we gave the girls as their "goodie bag." Jeannie's mom made them into these adorable elephants & the girls (including myself)thought they were the coolest things. We gave them all Sharpies so they could sign each others towels, as a momento of the weekend. The ones with animal hats were for the younger, non-dancing, kids that attended.

Here's a group picture of the "gang." They stayed in the pool until after dark!!

The 2 birthday girls blowing out their candles. I strategically moved myself to take pictures. I wanted them from all angles & am so glad I "wiggled" my way to the front of the crowd for this one.

Once again, Jeannie's mom thought of EVERYTHING!! She bought these "bubba" & "bling" teeth, which the girls thought were a hoot. Here's Ashlyn & Corrin sporting their teeth!! Ironically, they sported these same teeth for the picture I included in their invitions.

I took tons more pictures, but since they're not my kids, I can't upload most of them. Suffice it to say, we survived!!! The last of the kids were asleep by 4:00 AM with Jeannie & I keeping watch from recliners in the living room. Jeannie's mom has a clock that chimes at the top of every hour AND every 15 minutes. I did NOT sleep at all. By 6:30, Jeannie's mom was banging around in the kitchen for breakfast & by 7:15, a majority of the girls were rustling around, looking very sleepy, but wanting breakfast. I was home by 10:00, showered & gone again by 11:00 for a picnic at the beach with William's family. Home by 2:30, napping by 2:40 & sound asleep within seconds. At my sisters by 6:00 for another cook-out, home by 10:00 & in bed for a good nights sleep by 10:30!!! I was one tired pup, BUT, it was a wonderful weekend & I would not have changed a thing!!
