I only have a minute...I chose sleeping in over blogging :) Being up and moving and having all five people ready to go at 8:30 is definitely a new concept to me :) Gonna take some getting used to.
Anyway, yesterday was a good (but full!) day. We had meetings in the morning, part of the time in which the Sheriff's department gang unit came down to talk with us. It wasn't completely new information to me, it was still interesting and reminded me how desperate kids are to fit in somewhere -- anywhere. The kids we work with are at risk for this type of desire and lifestyle so it was good to think on it.
We had a staff pot luck for lunch which was nice. Then more meetings, getting our cottage ready, and then out to an Indian dinner with some friends. Yummy.
I've been spending my evenings watching Netflixed copies of the Gilmore Girls (I never saw the show when it was on TV). I still have this cold and cough so I have been laying low. I did scrap a page last night though.
I used Shabby Princess's RUMMAGE CHIC kit and the stitching from her SPLENDID kit. Also, Amber Clegg's date stamp and tab.
Today is full of more meetings, lunch out with the staff ladies, and more getting our cottage ready. Tomorrow is more of the same and then Saturday we have a nice lunch out at one of the board members homes. Busy times, but good :)
Have a great day!

Great layout! Did you use a filter on the photo? I love the soft colors.
