Happy Day After!

I hope every one enjoyed a wonderful day close to their family and loved ones yesterday!  We had a great day here yesterday with all of the kids ( except for Nick and his family) and my brother spending the day with lots of food, lots of gits and lots of fun!  Nicholas joined us via telephone for a while.  The only bad news of the day was to learn he has to leave yet once again to Iraq in February.  This will make his fourth time to the Middle East since 911...when will it ever be over...I guess with two in the military, I just might as well get used to it as Michael will probably have to go back in 2010 as well.

Anyway, the day was good and as soon as everyone left, I went to bed and crashed until five this morning.  That is the longest I have slept in one stretch in months.  Now today is for the cleanup as I did nothing before I went to bed, lol.  Hopefully I can talk Matt and Noelle back over today to help eat some of this food!  Every year I say I am not going to cook as much, and every year there seems to be more!  Several desserts were not even touched, if you can believe that!

All of my brag books, albums and photo books were well received and I am all ready planning for next year as Gary wants to have photo books for every one...he loved them.   Gary wants to make big photo books next year with 100 pages!  Easy for him to say, huh, lol!

I will try to post some pictures soon.  I have not even looked at them yet but I conned my Grandson Nick into being my photographer this year so I can't wait to see them!
Happy Scrappin!

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. 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...

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...
