lucky page stuff: MM ledger pp, flower, button, brackets; Jenni Bowlin pp, bingo card, heidi swapp star; bazzill scallop cs
so Saturday...LaVaughn wanted to go out to this camera market that he had heard about. He was hoping to get a good deal on a new lens. He wanted to get a Canon 55-250....I have been wanting an wide angle-those were too $$$$...so I went with the 55-250 and I LOVE it!!
I have only played with it once so far...and my two were not very willing at all. Next week is a holiday & they will have the week off. I want to go to out to put the lens to work...but it will so crowded. We may just grin & bare it...not to sure yet....but here are a few of the better photos from Sunday...these two are not very willing with smiles...
OOOH, I might be first again... :)
Lucky Lucky for the new lens, yay for you! sweet layouts! I've missed your posts, I hope all is well with you and yours! :)

Hi. This is the first time I have left a comment....I was lucky enough to come across your blog and have been looking for weeks (but admiring your published works for sometime). I have to say that you do the most beautiful work. These LOs are gorgeous! Keep up the fab work with those rubber stamps.

Oh Keisha, it's good to have you back. :o)
You have me busting a stitch with the last photo of your girls, little Miss K is not EVEN gonna look at that beautiful new lens. :o) LOL! So very funny.
Love how "real" your blog is, and how you share details and sources and all the fun photos on your blog. This blog is such a treat. Keep up the beautiful work! :)

Hello to my friend. I miss our regular "meetings" @ 2peas and such. Time goes so fast. I was astonished @ how big the girls have gotten. I have a teenager in the house now. God help me! ;) Love the new wide angle. And the punches. And just catching up w/ you K. Take good care of yourself.
