Update for the Week

My sickness this past week was some kind of bug passed on to me through the sweet generosity of Isaac and Ava, lol. They have all had one form or the other of the same ailments amongst their family. Friday I was feeling a little better so knowing Isaac was out of school on Fridays, I went up to their house and took Isaac and Ava, and their Mommie out for a burger and fries (yes, I went off my diet for that-don't tell Gary). We stopped by the high school and bought some some plants from their ag class. Isaac and Ava had a ball choosing their flowers! Took them home and played with them for a while before I came home and worked in my flower garden. It was 84 degrees here and I was sweating like a hog in my long sleeved shirt and blue jeans! I spent several hours just relaxing in my porch swing and watching the turkeys come in for their evening stroll before I showered. Some time during the night, I started coughing and sneezing and today I have a full-blown cold!. I guess I did too much on Friday, or got too hot. Anyway, April has not been too kind to me as I have stayed sick with one thing or another! Hubby braved the rain we are getting today and went to the Dollar Store and got me some Alka-Seltzer Cold Plus so I can try to well before I start my new census job on Tuesday.

Knowing I won't have a lot of extra time next week with my new job training, I have scrapped like a mad-woman this week trying to get all my Muse CT requirements ready for the next two weeks, and I still am not finished! That ought to be a little hint to let you know lots of new things will be coming out in the next two weeks from Kimmi and Rina, so start counting your pennies, lol! Plus, I still have to finish some projects for ScrappinDigiKreations, as well! Whew!!! I love crunch-time like this!!!

Anyway, between my new job and the Derby Party we will be having here in the holler next weekend, I may not be around much so I wish you a great week, and I hope you have a wonderful time during the upcoming NSD!

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 ca...
