Whew! The last couple of weeks have just flew by!! We have been so busy here in the holler that I went for several days and did not even have my computer on, and let me tell you, that has only happened in the case of power outages for quite some time!

Our little goldfish pond that my son Matthew dug out for me last summer got damaged and all the water leaked out. We worked for several hours trying to repair it but finally decided it was a lost cause. Since, it involved so much upkeep and we could not get the summer algae growth under control through means we could financially afford we chose to abandon that project. We took the fish to Matthew for his pond, and filled the pond in. We had some really good dirt down behind the garage so we dug it up, filled in the pond and planted flowers. We bought a crepe myrtle tree and a few perennials, and moved the peonies there to create what will next year grow to be quite a beautiful little garden....hopefully!

I hope all of you enjoyed a great 4th of July holiday. It poured rain here all weekend so we had no fireworks but we did go to one of my brothers home for a nice little barbecue. After all the work we had been doing around here, it was nice to get out of the house for even those few hours. It has been equally nice, to power the ole pc back up and do a little scrappin! A new month brings new challenges to all of the forums and I always look forward to that!

Cathy Krenek is sponsoring the July Template Challenge, and I went right to work on using her fun template. I used her new her new STARS AND STRIPES page kit with the coordinating items, STARS AND STRIPES ALPHAS BUNDLE and the FRAME IT! STARRY METAL. These were available at SBE this past weekend for the DoorBusters Sale but don't worry, they will return to the SBE store soon!

The July Template is a lot of fun with all the circles and upon completion of the challenge you will not only have a unique scrapbook page but you will receive a very nice posting bonus as well! The Splash AddOn posting bonus can be used to create cute pages all on its own but used with the new Splash page kit which will be released at SBE on Sunday July 12th, you will be ready for all those summer swim photos! I used the AddOn posting bonus to create you an 8x10 quick page to help get you get those photos done. Enjoy!

Bells of St Clements

“Oranges and lemons… The Bells of St Clements…”. The words of this old English singing game identified the church bells in and around London and are the inspiration behind Rina’s “Bells of St Clements” collection. Full of juicy fruity freshness in citrus shades of cream, lemon yellow, orange and lime green, this collection is sure to become a summer favorite. As part of the Door Buster Event , there will be some new coordinates for Rina's new (soon to be released) kit that are priced for only $1 or $2 !!! I have loved playing with this beautiful kit! Here are some layouts I have finished today. This is a special page I made for my DS#2 and his lovely wife! I love you guys and wish you only the best which life has to offer!!! Thank you for stopping my blog today and here is a freebie I made for you from the layout above. ***SORRY-NO LONGER AVAILABLE***

Hump Day with Teen Tude

Wednesday is Hump Day:and we are half-way through the week.  We here in the USA are looking forward to a big holiday weekend, the 4th of July!  I am sure my sons will take their kids to one of the fireworks shows in the area, and we always have a family cook-out at my brothers house.  I still have to try to get my stuff together for the big yard sale my DILs are having on Saturday.  But today, my husband and a few of his friends are meeting here to finish putting up the big 100 ft CB antennae tower for his "Bull Creek Sub-Station!  He loves to talk and there is always a listening audience for his foolishness on the CB.  That is about the only hobby he has, lol! For me, my love of digi-scrapping led me last night to double-check and finish some of the photo books I have to make sure they are ready for printing.  I added a couple of slide shows from these projects over on the right side of my blog so I hope you take the time to peek at them.  I can't wait to actually see these

In Memoriam Collection

Anyone who has lost a loved one knows how much they cherish them and want to preserve their memory. Putting together a Memory Album is one way of remembering them, now and for future generations. Rina and Kimberly have come together in bringing you the "In Memoriam" collection that exemplifies gentleness in strength. Inside this large collection you will find a myriad of embellishments and papers that are suitable for both softly feminine and more rugged masculine pages. It is delicate and sensitive, yet strong and thoughtful. The colors are peaceful, yet with an intensity that gives them strength. You will be able to choose from a number of color combinations: from crisp silvery white and lavender, to the soft glow of gold leaf and sky blue, from warm caramel and taupe to shades found in nature, and finally to accent colors of scarlet red, navy blue and dark purple. Often times our emotions are still very raw from our loss and we may find it difficult to draw on our own c
