June 5th is Hot Air Balloon Day

Up up and away on June 5th.  Come celebrate Hot Air Balloon Day:

"The hot air balloon is the oldest form of flight technology used for carrying humans, following the first manned flight in 1783. The balloon itself consists of an envelope, which is used to contain the hot air, and a gondola, where passengers and a means of creating hot air are typically housed. The heated air inside the envelope has a lower density than that of the cold air outside, and this causes the balloon to rise. Hot Air Balloon Day is an annual celebration that marks the impact hot air balloons have had on travel and leisure.

Although out of the reach of many, the most common means of celebrating Hot Air Balloon Day is to take a hot air balloon ride. Although not ideal for those that are afraid of heights, or flying, there are companies and hot air balloon owners that offer special deals for these celebratory flights."

June is Camping Month

According to Days of the Year, June 2015 is Camping Month.  Do you have any pics of the Great Outdoors that would make great mosaics?

June is for Grads

Time to dust off all of those graduation pics and mementos, or take new ones if you have a loved one who is graduating this year.  From preschool or kindergarten graduations through high school and college, there are always tons of cute layout ideas.  Here is a Mosaic Layout of my nephew's Kindergarten Graduation:

May 9th is Train Day

I'm celebrating Train Day by sharing this fun layout from our stay at the Chattanooga Choo Choo Museum.  This layout was created from a class I took on the very first day I ever learned how to make Mosaic Moments layouts!

Happy Cinco De Mayo!

May 4th is Firefighter' s Day

Firefighters are one of my favorite things (right up there with cowboys - wink wink!)

"Firefighters’ Day celebrates the dedication, heroism and importance of firefighters from all over the world. Many firefighters are volunteers, and many lose their lives in the course of duty.

Show your support by wearing blue and red ribbons (tied together, symbolizing the combination of fire and water) and help raise to awareness and support for your local firefighting operation."

How will YOU be celebrating Firefighter's Day?

Here is a layout from my friend, Erika documenting her family's visit to the fire station:

May 3 - You've got ONE WEEK until Mother's Day!

Here are some fun ideas for RTC (Ready to Cut) Mother's Day Mosaic Cards.  Of course, you could also make some using her favorite flowers, candies, or other elements.  Let me know what you think up!
