K's Creative Writing - My Best Vacation Ever

I was at Virginia. My Poppa and me and Ivan went to find worms in front of the house. Then we put them in a can. The next day we went fishing with the worms. We caught fish, but they slipped away. Some of the fish we caught and some were too small.

We went in this big maze. It was hard to go through. We went in this big cave, too. We saw fossils, and there was a big pond. In fact it was bigger than the pond we went fishing in the other day. I was sad when I had to go and leave all the caves. Then we ate and I felt better.

The next day, I took a bath. That was the last day. I was sad when I had to go back to Pennsylvania, but I was sorta happy that I didn’t have to be in that van so long. I said goodbye to my grandma and grandpa, my uncle, and my aunt, and then we went in the house. The End.

Plimoth Plantation

The kids were watching Fetch with Ruff Ruffman yesterday and saw a second-long clip of Plimoth Plantation. "Mom! We went there!" The look of excitement on their faces gave me the motivation I needed to pull out these photos from our summer vacation to Plymouth and do some scrapping.

Text in a Path


On this layout, my new technique was the text around the silhouette. Photoshop Elements 4.0 does not have the ability to create lines of text that follow a path. So I asked my personal Photoshop expert (who happens to be the photographer in the layout) to create the text path for me. Once I opened the revised file back up in PSE, I was able to edit the font and text as needed.
