Needed A New Look

Well as excited as I am about blogging again I needed a new look.  I have always used blogs by LeeLou so I went over to her blog and found this shabby chic look that I liked alot...Let me know what you think....I will tweak it alittle later on and post a project I am working on for Britt's room...okay catch you later on in the week!! :)

Busy Weekend

What a very busy weekend, but so much fun too!!  I have decided the weekends are just never long enough.  I went out and helped Britt and Jeremy Friday night in the classroom and Josh and Selina came out and helped too....of course I had so much fun listening to the boys pick and play like they were little boys again...I wish I had brought my camera...:)  I have been cutting so many farm animals that my cricut is smoking!! LOL...I cut 5" and 6" animals to use as name tags for their desks and also a sign for her door.  This was all quiet hurried but I'm okay with the way it turned out...The name tags will have each child's name and them laminated and taped on their desk.  I already have lots of ideas rolling around in my mind for the fall!!!  We took Jamie out for her birthday dinner Sat. night and enjoyed she and David.  It won't be long until we will have our 15th grandchild in Oct.  Today we had to drive over to Lewisburg, Roger had a cousin to pass away and we went to the memorial it is always nice to see family but hate it has to be something like that to prompt it...okay I must get ready for bed..have a good week everyone and thanks for stopping by!!

Almost Friday!!

My goal was to post once a week and so far so good!! LOL..This has been a super busy week at work.  I haven't touched a craft this week but I'm gearing up for the weekend. Jeremy's Britt is teaching kindergarten and I'm so excited that she is letting me help her do some decorating in her room.  They painted the room a sunny yellow today and now the fun begins..Lilly and I have been pooling our cricut cart. to see what I can use.  She is using a "farm theme" for the room.  Will that not be just precious??  I will post some of the projects as we finish.  Today I am posting another couple of pages from my heritage  album.  This paticular paper needed to have pictures with old cars and I even found a picture of my mama standing by an old motorcycle.  I asked her who it belonged to and she doesn't remember!!  I actually think she just wanted to pose beside it and didn't really know the owner!! LOL...I am going to post a few random pictures of the grandkids I really need to update and put a slide show on....maybe a weekend project!!! Have a happy Friday the 13th and be careful!! :)

Almost A Year Since....

It's been almost a year since I have made a new post on my blog. I must say I have missed my blogging but Facebook has sort of taken the place of my blogging. I am trying very hard to get my crafting mojo back and I figure I need to just jump right on back into it. I have been reading several of my favorite blogs (Colette, Nancy, Jan, Crystial (aka Pinky) and have gotta the "fever" to scrap again. I have been doing a very few classes here and there but am going to try to accomplish more coz I have lots of memories to capture!! I have been working on my Heritage Album because Sassy Scrapper has been doing a once a month heritage class and I've attended when I could. I love, love scrappin' pics of my mama and daddy and all my realitives..today I'm sharing a couple of pages that we did in the last class that I attended. I think it is a very pretty layout, my skirt did not come out as pretty as Lilly's did but I lost patience at the end (imagine that!!! ) Anyway hopefully I can blog once a week...that is my goal...thanks for stopping by...

I'm Back

Well actually I have been back from Florida for a week....LOL. I have been neglecting my scrappin' both digital and paper for some time now..I have been very fortunate to have taken a couple of trips lately and it has cut into my creative time...(big LOL) Anyway I have spent the biggest part of today in "my play room" finishing pages that needed pics printed and also my Layout of the Month project. I've had such a fun day. I'm going to share a digital layout that I have just completed and I will try to photograph my paper pages tomorrow. This digital page is of Brady, Seth and Hunter at Jamie's wedding in May of this year. In one picture or another they all had this serious look so I couldn't resist...

Texas Here I Come

Gosh I have been so blessed lately to be able to take a few days off and just enjoy. Roger and I spent a few days camping last week at a wonderful campground about 1 hr. from our home. It was on the lake and wonderful...tomorrow I'm going to see my best friend in Texas. I'm going to meet her grandsons for the first time and I'm so excited....they are babies and I can just spoil away!! I have been to two classes for my digital scrappin' since I have posted. Brenda and Lee are both just wonderful teachers and I have enjoyed each class. It's beginning to gel with me and now I want to learn different techniques. Don't get me wrong by gel I mean very, very basic!!! LOL...I have decided for now I'm going to work with 8 1/2 x 11 size because I can print that here at home. The 12 x 12 I have to send away for. I am going to share just a quick couple that I did in learning different techniques....Hope everyone has a great rest of the week. I'll have lots of pics to post from Texas I'm sure...

I have a few days off!!!!!

I'm always excited when I have a few days off....can you tell!! LOL..We are heading out for another camping adventure on Sunday, Roger, Chubba and I. This time we are going to another different campground in Carthage TN. I have tried to schedule new places this summer and not the same ones we normally go to. Roger bores very easily when he doesn't have his farm toys and new places help.:) I had another wonderful digital class this week with Brenda and it was as awesome as the last. Lee also hung out with us and is very talented in the digital world....I am sharing what I did in class and a couple that I ventured out on my own and did. I'm lovin' this digi stuff but of course I still love the paper and embellies in my hands..:) Have a wonderful, safe weekend...I'll try to post again before we go....

It's Hot in Tennesseeeeeeeee!!!!!!

It's hot but I'm such a summer fan I'm not going to complain. Today I'm going to share a couple of layouts that I have just finished..One two pager is for our layout of the month this month at my LSS. I decided since it was birthday themed that I would use Roger's 60th birthday pictures from last Sept. I have been meaning to scrap them and this seemed like the perfect layout to do so....All of the kids were in attendance except Jamie and David and they were still living in Knoxville at the time...the next one is another wedding layout of Jamie and David's wedding. I still haven't seen the "good" pictures I'm still scrappin' snapshots that Josh did for me...Can't wait to get my hands on some of the "real" pictures.....LOL..Stay cool...

Happy Father's Day

Gosh I miss my daddy....especially on Father's day...Roger and I had the nicest weekend camping. We left on Thursday and came back today. We stayed at a campground near Nashville on Percy Priest lake. We didn't have a direct lake spot but we had a beautiful shady, woodsey (is that a word?) spot. Chubba loved watching for squirrels and taking walks...before we left one of my best Fiskateer buddies came to Tennessee to visit. Merlene and her husband were in Arkansas and she convienced Tom to come on up to Tennessee to visit. I'm so glad she did it was good to see her again. I met her in San Antonio Texas a couple of years ago and we made friends instantly. She is from Tuscon Arizona and loved all of our "green"!!..Several of my scrappin' friends met at Sassy Scrapper our LSS and went to dinner. Cristal Hobbs (aka Pinky) was so kind in arranging everything for us. I'm posting a picture of all of us....Then my last pic is of "my girls"...I went by Jeremy's and Josh's today to wish them a happy father's day. They are both really wonderful fathers. The girls were swimming and of course I could not resist some pictures...Hope everyone has a great week....stay cool...

Sunny and Hot

Just the way I like it...sunny and hot. Went and sat out by the pool and looked at the pond/waterfall Josh and Selina have built (without my camera what was I thinking!!??) I'll get pictures when they get it all complete but it is awesome. I could listen to a waterfall or a fountain forever..Have been doing a little organizing and a little scrappin' today. Getting ready to do some pics of Jamie and David's wedding. I did one layout today that is not my normal layout. I have seen some layouts somewhat like this and just wanted to try my hand. The other layout is two pictures that are very precious to me. My best friends from Texas were in a few weeks ago and both the boys came by to see them...we made lots of pics and just wanted to do a simple layout of a few of my favorites...well Big Daddy is going to a tractor pull tonight so who knows I might do somemore scrappin'........
