Still scrapping here....

The school year is winding down, I just finished with field day activities, varsity track season, and classes are near an end. Whew. I have a son graduating this month so his college plans, sports and award programs have kept me very busy. Although I haven’t posted lately, I have been scrapbooking. Here’s a few of the projects completed recently for Bind-it-all and Helmar Adhesives.
