NOTES FROM THE HOLLER

Kimberly Stewart has been busy once again and today she has released the cutest dinosaurs with the RAWR Kit . They are just waiting to adorn your scrapbook pages! I used the cuties with the TV Theme Song Lyrics from the PBS show Dragon Tales for my journaling on this page with one of my Grandsons swirling and dancing in his own little world as he plays in the warm spring sunshine. I also used it to make a little Christmas gift album for my Great Nephew Here is the link once again for this cute kit, Kimberly Stewart's RAWR kit and remember all All New Releases are 25% off - Sunday and Monday Only And in reply to the Anonymous Comment from previous post, yes, I am aware that the music on my site uses the bandwidth of site visitors...some approve, some do not. Some like the blinkies, some do not. Although I would love to please everyone, alas, I can not; so I just please myself and do my best not to offend anyone in the process. I hope each of you come to visit me o...

I have been scrappin' up a storm this week! I am trying to get a brag book or something like that for everyone in our family this year. You would think with all the layouts I have finished this year that I would not have to work so hard but that does not seem to be the case, lol. Anyway, I just thought I would share a few of them with you. First off, I must toot my own horn just a little, so I hope you don't mind. I recently won a challenge over at MGL Scraps-CT Blog , and I was very tickled about that! This is my winning page using the Awakening Kit by Studio MGL. (For additional credits, just click on the image) What did I win you ask? A $10.00 gift card from mgl Scraps! Isn't that fantastic! She has some awesome stuff in HER STORE so I am sure I will have a hard time deciding what to get! Her CT has another challenge going on until Aug 31, so drop by THEIR BLOG and check it out.

Before I give you a little sneaky peek at some of the gorgeous goodies Rina will release in the SBE store tomorrow, I just wanted to share what we have been up to here in the holler... I put up about 300 ears of corn yesterday!!! I am so tired for I was up most all the night doing it, and then cleaning up the mess, WHEW! but it will be worth it. I want to say how good it will taste this winter but it will never last till winter for DH loves corn, lol. I think he is going after more today. He paid 3.50 a dozen for it yesterday but found another guy that sells it for 3.00 a dozen, so I think he wants to go get more. Most of it is cut off (my hands are so sore from that darn cutting and scraping) but I did put a few ears of corn-on-cob as well, as it so much easier to do that And , I finally got to get my Isaac fix! Gary surprised me and went and picked him up...he stayed all night only one night this time ...he was missing Mommy and Daddy and Sissie Ava so we had to take him h...
