			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m hosting an Artist Trading Card (ATC) swap at the <a href="http://coconutscrapbooking.com/">Coconut Scrapshop</a>.  Head on over to the Coconut Message board to find out all the fun details <a href="http://www.coconutscrapbooking.com/scrapbook-community/viewtopic.php?f=14&#038;t=586">HERE</a>!  The deadline to sign up is tomorrow evening!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be heading out for field training tomorrow, so this will probably be my only post for this week.  Also, I start an online Algebra class tomorrow (gag!).</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll share a couple of pages I made this week.  The first was a challenge but I didn&#8217;t finish it on time, which is ok&#8230;because I had more time to get the result I wanted.  The majority of this page is from <a href="http://scrapmuse.com">Scrap Muse</a>&#8217;s June kit.</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mestisa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/have-fun.jpg'><img src="http://www.mestisa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/have-fun-300x300.jpg" alt="" title="have-fun" width="300" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-309" /></a></p>
<p>The second page is one from my Honor Guard days at the USAF Academy.  The photo is almost 10 years old, holy cow!  I look so young and innocent, LOL!  This is also the second page that I created from Coconut Scrapshop&#8217;s July Kit, &#8220;Liberty&#8221;.  Got to love that Scenic Route stuff!</p>
<p><a href='http://www.mestisa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/honor.jpg'><img src="http://www.mestisa.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/honor-299x300.jpg" alt="" title="honor" width="299" height="300" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-312" /></a></p>
<p>That&#8217;s it for now.  It&#8217;s time to take the kiddos to the pool, enjoy the rest of your Sundays!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, another four day weekend has come and gone.  I love them and dread them.  I love them because it&#8217;s more time to spend with the family, more time to relax and unwind, and less time to think about my upcoming deployment.  I dread them because it&#8217;s that much harder to go back into work and another day closer to heading over to the sandbox.  *SIGH*</p>
<p>We took the kids to a matinee today to see Wall E.  It was Tahlia&#8217;s and Isaiah&#8217;s first movie in a theater and they did amazingly well!  I thought the movie was ok.  I guess I just expected more from all the hype that the movie is getting.  Jayda, of course, loved it.  Maybe I&#8217;m just finally outgrowing &#8220;G&#8221; rated movies.  Who knew that was possible?</p>
<p>I have two scrappin&#8217; related toots to share with you all.  First, the page that I posted yesterday, &#8220;All American Boy&#8221; received Layout of the Week (July 7th) by the DT over at <a href="http://paperpopsicles.com">Paper Popsicles</a>.  This is the first time any of my pages has received such recognition, so I&#8217;m STOKED!  It may seem minor to most, but to me it&#8217;s major.  Of course, I scrap for myself and my family&#8230;but it&#8217;s always nice to hear other people appreciating your pages, KWIM?</p>
<p>Second toot, I received an email from Lynette congratulating me on making the design team for <a href="http://scrapthatmoment.com">Scrap That Moment</a>.  Come again?  I did what?  WOOHOO!  I&#8217;m excited for this amazing opportunity and the girls I will be working with are so talented!  The website and shop are currently under construction, but once everything is up and running I will be sure to let you guys know!</p>
<p>Alrighty, that&#8217;s it for now.  I still have kiddos that are awake&#8230;so I&#8217;m going to sign off.  Toodles.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe 4th of July!  The long weekend is exactly what I needed.  This weekend has been a very productive and creative one!  I have quite of few projects that I would like to share with you all, so check back tomorrow to see the results.</p>
<p>I will leave you with one page this evening.  The page is for my son, Isaiah.  I received my July kit from Coconut Scrapshop on Saturday and it featured the awesome &#8220;Liberty&#8221; line from Scenic Route.  I had bought Tahlia and Isaiah some patriotic swimsuits a couple of weeks ago and these papers were perfect to scrap some photos from our pool days.</p>
