As long as you are not trying to "hook" my Utes, we are all good, BUT that icky blue team down south of us. Ewwwwwwwwww! :)

[idtwinmom]

You guys! You will get those teams in anywhere!!!!!

Yeah! I finally got your kit (had a bit of trouble with a coupon)! Now I'm off to figure out how I'm going to use it!

[ReneT]

Hi everyone! OK, now that I joined Nicole's challenge last week, I'm gonna add this one this week! I "think" I have the perfect photo for this kit. :yahoo:

It's beginning to look like I might have to show up at the airport with my KENTUCKY WILDCATS coat on! (It's very blue!!) At least you would recognize who you're picking up! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I do believe, that TWO TEXAS TEAMS are Ranked in the top THREE..

And, some okie team is in there....

Gosh... where is Kentucky... like number 87....

[GrandmaScrap]

Ummmmmmm.....nooooooooooo! it's south of Indiana! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[debilou]

Ummmmmmm.....nooooooooooo! it's south of Indiana! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:


Um excuse me... College Teams aren't exactly ranked by the year they joined the union... or by where the puzzle piece fits in on your US state puzzle map....

Teams are ranked by the GREAT Ability to Play FOOTBALL... and those teams are NOT in some place called Kinteky..

Everyone knows... Texas raises great Football players and Miss America's.. it's in the water... :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Darling if you show up w/ Kentucky blue, you just might be stuck at the airport. They are the team I hate the worst after that yucky team down south.

Go UTES!

[Christine]

I do believe, that TWO TEXAS TEAMS are Ranked in the top THREE..

And, some okie team is in there....

Gosh... where is Kentucky... like number 87....

and I believe that only ONE of those teams is undefeated, AND that one is TEN and 0, my UTAH is ELEVEN and 0, sitting at #7, talk about the good ol' boys club. Not to mention we beat Michigan IN the big house and beat Oregan (the one that beat then #1 USC. :annoyed::annoyed::annoyed::annoyed: ;)

Yes, and that would be THE FABULOUS TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS!!!! Fingers crossed that we will beat Oklahoma tonight!!!! Cuz if we do, I'll get to go to a bowl game, which means great photos for more scrapping!!!! :yahoo:

OK here is the way to post your pictures and make them linkable.

1. go into your gallery where you can see the little thumbnails
2. highlight the thumbnail and the title
3. go into the place you are going to post and click on "go advanced"
4. up in the top RIGHT hand corner there is a little A/A, click it
5. Click in the window where you type and paste
6. The picture and the title will show up in the post and you can finish typing whatever you want, then hit submit.

LMK if you have more questions

It will look like this:

That will be tricky since you will still be in the air or NY or something when she lands. :lol:

[idtwinmom]

It's almost a shame to use such a beautiful kit for such a silly LO, but the colors were perfect for what I wanted to do. And the contradiction between the sophisticated papers and flowers to the silly photo's tells my story the way I want my children to remember it.
