New Heritage Pages

With all the devasting effects of the forces of nature that 2010 has brought to this ole world so far, I hope this post finds you, my friends, safe, well and happy. We are fine here in the holler. Just like two ole bears, we have been hibernating waiting for the arrival of spring. I feel it is just around the corner!

I did finally manage to get all my Christmas decorations taken down and packed away, and have been doing the winter cleaning: of washing down walls, cleaning out closets, etc. Mostly, we have been sleeping by day and watching Gunsmokes by night. My hubby is an avid fan of the old televisions show Gunsmoke and he has over 300 episodes recorded on dvd. By the time spring gets here, I dare say we will have watched them all as we are up to episode 191 now. I swear my house was beginning to smell like the ole saloons and stables, hence, my house cleaning!

This evening, I think we will venture out into the world and visit my brothers and perhaps go out to dinner but I did want to show you two more heritage pages I got done for my album this week using images I found on the internet when I fist begin my ancestral search. I used products available at Scrapbook Graphics:
A Pioneers Story by Lorie Davison and the Images of Tradition Collection by the Studio Girls

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...
