Detroit Tigers game 9/24/10

Now that I have all of my pictures out of my camera I wanted to share some of them from the Tiger's game we went to back on September 24th.  It was the most beautiful fall night!  We couldn't have asked for better baseball game weather...especially for the end of September in Michigan!  On top of the great weather we had fantastic seats!!!  Our friend Diane had passed on a set of 4 tickets to us right behind the Tigers dugout!!! 

Unfortunately the after game fireworks were cancelled that night due to the high winds, but we managed to have a little fireworks of our own!  After the inning finishes as the players are coming off the field...the player who has the ball usually throws the baseball up into the crowd right before they enter the dugout.  Well....at the end of the 8th inning, Tanner was the lucky ball receipient!!!  He had been holding his glove up during the entire game just hoping for a foul or thrown ball and then it happened!!!  It completely made his day!  Oh, and the Tigers won 10-1!!!! 

Thank you Diane for the awesome tickets and the fantastic memories!  This is a day that Tanner or any of us will ever forget! 

Blog experts please help!

Can someone please tell me what the secret is to making sure that the photo of your project shows up on the dashboard Blogger scroll???  I've tried putting it at the top and in the center.  I've tried putting it at the top and to the left.  I've tried putting it at the bottom!  This morning, my first post I had it on the top of the post in the middle, but when I checked the Blogger scroll my picture wasn't showing up!  So then on the second post I tried posting the picture to the top at the left and it STILL didn't show up on the Blogger scroll!  I know that when I am going through the Blogger scroll in the morning that I like to see a picture of the project to peak my interest in clicking on it and going to that blog.  I just want to know what the tried and true answer is so I can follow the same steps!  Lately it just seems to be trial and error and luck of the post for me!  I would appreciate any insight! 

Another Pink Stamper challenge!

I can't believe that I am entering TWO challenges when up until now I've never entered a single one!  Robyn had another challenge to create something for Fall or Halloween.  This is a picture of my boys from the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at WDW last year.  This is one of my favorite pictures taken that night in our resort room just before we left for the party.  It was way too hot for them to dress in their costumes, so we decided to get them the Mickey pumpkin ears to go along with their shirts.  I do have some pictures and a tutorial of the tie dyed Mickey head tshirts coming up soon too for those of you that are interested! 

Pink Stampers "something cute" and Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!

Here is my entry for Emma's challenge over at her blog Creative Time for Me It is for her Throw Back Thursday Challenge using Everyday Paper Dolls something with an animal! 

This LO also qualifies for "something cute" submission for The Pink Stampers challenge! I've never submitted anything for a challenge, but I decided to give it a try!  I knew the second I saw the circus cage and the monkeys on the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge exactly what I was going to use it for! It wasn't until I was actually creating the page that I came up with the idea to place one of the pictures behind the bars of the cage! I love the way it turned out and I love my little monkeys!!!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and have a look!
