My trip north for my granddaughter's birthday turned out well. I had to fight a hard rain for the 4 hour drive. As I was driving I kept wondering when I was going to hit the freezing rain and snow. It turned out that I made it all the way with no freezing precipitation. When I got there I went into Walgreen's to get her birthday card. I was only in there 10 minutes and when I came out the sleet had just started. We went to the YMCA where she had a gymnastics birthday party. They had all the equipment out; trampoline, balance beams, uneven parallel bars, and tumbling mats around the whole gymnasium. They also played Twister, Hula Hoops, and some other games too. The YMCA provided all the decorations, cake, party favors, balloons, and 3 gymnastic coaches too. It was very inexpensive and the kids had SO much fun! Of course, I was there as the "official" photographer. I took something like 200 pics because catching those action shots is very difficult but I did manage to get a few. Grandpa and I bought her the new leotard she wanted so bad! I think she would like to be on the "Flying Ariels" team, which is the Y's traveling competition team. She just started gymnastics 6 months ago and is taking to it like a fish does to water. I can't wait to scrapbook some of these pics. When we came out of the YMCA there was about 3-4 inches of sleet. Overnight we got snow on top of that. However, by the time I left this afternoon, the streets were cleared, the sun was out, and it was melting fast. A beautiful sunny day in the 50's was all I saw on the way home! We have a saying here in Missouri, "If you don't like the weather, stick around it'll change!"
Oh.....are you still here? LOL! Would you like to have my newest freebie kit? I asked for suggestions for a kit name and the winner would receive a gift from me. Well, my husband had a hard time picking out the winner and so I decided to use BOTH ideas! So there are 2 winners, Loosie Goosie suggested Hippity Hoppity and Diane suggested Sweet Bunny Parade. I put them together and came up with "HIPPITY HOPPITY BUNNY PARADE". So congratulations ladies...I will be contacting both of you with a link for a coordinating kit. Thanks everyone so much for all your ideas. I may do this again sometime. I didn't have time to make a preview that shows everything in this kit. But it does include
26 papers and 67 elements. I can't seem to do a small kit! I broke it down into 6 links so it would be easier to download. Make sure you get all 6 links!
You can find the links for my "Hippity Hoppy Bunny Parade" FREEBIE kit below.

Debbie, I'm sure glad you had a safe trip!
You have a beautiful Grand Daughter, it sounds like the party was a success. Something my girls would enjoy.
My hubby just went to Portland OR and when he left home the wind was ferocious here. He always checks the weather report before heading out; the mountain passes especially. I'm gald the weather cleared up for the trip home.
The kit looks beautiful, I can't wait to see the whole kit...how you find the time to do soo much amazes me.
Thank you
Lucy
ps: I told my hubby your story about how you discovered your husband all dressed up waiting to take you out for a dinner and movie, I don't know if my hubby got the hint but time will tell.
I still love that little story...
Blessings Debbie to you and your family...HUGS!
