And here I thought when the title said "got tea", I thought you had made a little mistake and meant to say "got T" ... you know, T as in Thelma (not Tracy, no!) ... Thelma! Don't know where you find the time to do all that you do! But I would have done the same while my kids were growing up if the scrapbooking had come into my life a little sooner!
Wow! That was quite an update Kimmy! So glad to see all these pics and what you Griffin's are up to on nights other than Mondays and Fridays (in other words, when I am there!) Love love LOVE that sunset shot, it is to die for.
Can't wait for Halloween crop, will definitely be working on 365! Got caught up to Thanksgiving last night :D
