It is summer time.........

and in just a few more days and we'll be cruising over to Bahamas for a long weekend, and then a day after we come back our visitors from Norway will be here. We will have a full house for a couple of weeks but lots of fun. Both my sisters with husbands and kids are coming. We all have a great time together so we're all really looking forward to this. Hopefully we get less rain and storms these next weeks than we have had in the last 2 week. The weather here has been really nasty. We're planing some trips to the beach and waterparks

Needless to say my house needed and are getting a good cleanup before the guests arrives, so not much scrapping lately.

This one page is the DT's monthly scraplift. MightyB won our monthly challenge with this awesome page

Thank you so much Sissel Byggnes for sending me this picture along with lots of other great family pictures from days gone by.
