Here's the album...

Yesterday afternoon I finally made my way into my scrapbooking room. I made this quick little 7 x 7 album. I used all scraps of paper and embellies that I have had laying around. I used an album from Creative Memories, it's the little plastic one. (I think I had won it from a crop long ago) I did this in just a few hours. I wanted my Grand-Daughter to have something she could show her friends and teachers. I hope you all enjoy looking at it. Have a great week end. I have to work so I won't be back until Mon. :)

The Big Move

Wow, I figured everything out!!!

After many tries and many disappointments I finally got this Blog done. I had the hardest time but, I finally got it. Computer smart... not so much. I had someone tell me what to do but it didn't make sense to me so... I just kept trying and here it is. I love the music and I hope that all of you will enjoy listening to it while looking at my blog. I am going to be scrapbooking all day today and I will post whatever I get done later. I have the book on Nick & Gloria's new home nearly finished and will get it posted soon. You know I hadn't realized how much more work a 7 X 7 album is. I much rather do the 12 X 12 anyday. It is going to be a great day!!!
Also it is my oldest sons birthday, he is 28 years young today . . . I can not believe it, time has passed so very fast. Seems just yesterday he was a little baby and I was holding him tight. Where does time go... He's now living in South Carolina so I can only tell him (not give him a hug) and wish him a Happy Birthday...

OMG, I finally got the slide show to work!!!

How exciting... I never thought that I'd get the slide show to work. Well, here it is. Next is the music... :)
This is an acrylic album from CTMH. The paper I used is also from CTMH, It' a Guy Thing Level 2 paper pack, I used ribbons that are in my stash (mostly CTMH),The rub on's are from SU & CTMH. I have a few other embellishments that I have had for a long time, I am not sure where they came from.
This is one of my favorites that I have made. Total cost of what I have into mine is around $75.00. You can easily do it for less, but I personally like more stuff on my pages.
So, enjoy this and I will post more later in the week as I have to work at my real job :) tomorrow.

Summer Vacation "2008"

3rd Grade Spring Program

I must say that time passes by so fast.
I just came from my Grand-Daughters school program. It was so cute. Some of the children really seemed to get into the part they were playing / singing. I really got a kick out of them.
As I sat there watching I thought back to what seemed like yesterday to when my children had school programs. I treasured those days and I was proud as I watched them perform with their classmates. I can still remember each of them as they would shyly go onto the stage and after getting there they would become comfortable enough to do the programs.
As I watched her go onto the stage and perform I felt the same sense of pride as I had felt so many times before.
I will post the pages as I finish them.
I will be back to post again later in the week. Until then ... give your children many hugs and kisses as they will be grown before you know it.

Thinking about the future...

Well, after 15 hours one way going to my sons new home in Williamston, S.C. And working the week end I am finally going to get some scrapbooking done. I had thought that I would do up a few page kits to work on in the car, however I was very busy before we left so I never got any put together.
I am going to work on the "New Home" pages later today. I took lots of pictures of the new home and the surrounding areas, I was a little worried about them moving so far from home, but I think it will be okay. They have lived with us for a while now and I have gotten very used to having my Grand-Daughter around. She is my little sidekick. I will post my pictures of the pages when they are finished. Have a great day and I will be back later...
