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!

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...

RAWR

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.

I hope each of you come to visit me o...

Red Velvet Cake

If you have never had Red Velvet Cake, then you are missing a real treat!  I must admit that I have not even had it very often, let alone make it but I while working on Marie's wedding album, I made me a couple of recipe pages to include in my recipe book to prompt me to bake this delicious yummy more often.  First let me show me show you the new pages I made this morning.       Rina's Beloved Collection at Scrapbook-Elements  I think the pages turned out really nice so I thought why not share them with you! Since I have many recipes I am wanting to include in my recipe book, I may start sharing more with them, if you would like...just let me know.   *DOWNLOAD NO LONGER AVAILABLE*
