Its Finally Friday!

Its finally Friday and the upcoming week-end promises to be gorgeous so I hope to get out of the house and go pick bouquets of daffodils! I think they are my favorite spring flower! The Kentucky Wildcats won again last night!! I really feel they are going to win the whole shebang this year! I hope so-those boys are just amazing!

When I jumped on the scales this morning I was thrilled to find I have lost a total of eight pounds in two weeks! That makes me thankful that I was strong enough not to give in to the temptation of sneaking a candy bar when the DH sent me to the store yesterday for coffee filters! I really was becoming discouraged for I can not really tell I have lost any weight yet when I put on my jeans, and I am really missing my sweet treats and sandwiches but I must admit that each day is becoming a little easier to do the right thing. I just have to face the fact that I have packed on a lot of extra weight the past few years and it will take time to lose it!

Today I would like to share with you a couple of new places I have found this week. Sister Muse Denise aka wererich pointed the way to a fun new digi-scrapping site, My Life & Scrap. They have lots of challenges with an open gallery so I intend to pop in and out there frequently in the future! Their blinkie has been added to "My Galleries" to the left on my blog; click on it any time you want to check out what I am doing over there, and be sure to check out the forums as well!

I found a neat, neat place to satisfy my urge when I go freebie hunting: Digital Daisy's Hand Picked Freebies. Christie aka Digital Daisy finds some wonderful things to inspire and keep one scrappin' . Her blinkie has been added to the left under the Freebie title. Most all my blinkies over there are clickable and will take you right to the corresponding sites!

My blog "Notes From The Holler" was added to Hummie's DigiScrapping Blogroll! I think her blog roll is a great tool for just about any one you want to find is there so I have added it to the left of my blog as well. Scroll through it to find some real treasures!

That's it for now but I have several things I hope to get done today so I may come back and blog again today... if not, I hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend!

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

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 can't wait to actually see these

Bells of St Clements

“Oranges and lemons… The Bells of St Clements…”. The words of this old English singing game identified the church bells in and around London and are the inspiration behind Rina’s “Bells of St Clements” collection. Full of juicy fruity freshness in citrus shades of cream, lemon yellow, orange and lime green, this collection is sure to become a summer favorite. As part of the Door Buster Event , there will be some new coordinates for Rina's new (soon to be released) kit that are priced for only $1 or $2 !!! I have loved playing with this beautiful kit! Here are some layouts I have finished today. This is a special page I made for my DS#2 and his lovely wife! I love you guys and wish you only the best which life has to offer!!! Thank you for stopping my blog today and here is a freebie I made for you from the layout above. ***SORRY-NO LONGER AVAILABLE***
