Checking In

I just wanted to let you guys know that everything is fine and dandy here in the holler. I think the flu and cold bugs have circulated through every one. Isaac's did turn into pneumonia but they caught it early and his Mommy took such good care of him he made it through without hospitalization. For now, no one is sick, although DH is still suffering with some gall bladder attacks. They wanted to take his gall bladder out years ago but he is determined not "to be cut on" as he puts it.

I have been ever so busy trying to get all my Christmas gifts done. Every one will receive albums or brag books of some type from Gary and I for gifts this year. With money so tight we thought this would be the cheapest route to go but even that is not cheap. What with printing and purchasing albums we have all ready been out over $200.00 and that is not even printing out the larger layouts, as I have not started that process. I guess he is right, the only cheap way out would have been to cook a nice dinner and call it a deal! The problem with that is, I have all ready started and we can't quit now, lol.

I have a small slide show from one of my Christmas goodies (posted on the right) to show you some of the finished products. With 30 brag books finished all ready, I will change the slide show every few days to help give you an idea of what I am doing.

I have to start the fall cleaning as I am itching to start Christmas decorating!!! I want to decorate my blog for Christmas as well so I need to start than soon as well! Have a great week and I will try to post again in a few days.

Happy Scrappin!

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 ca...

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...

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.
