Its Monday!

Its Monday!  The last few days of August has brought to us some cooler temperatures here in the holler, and we have much appreciated the break as the unrelenting sizzling heat has broke many records here this year.  Now if we could get just get some much needed rain!  Humans are funny people-we seem to never be satisfied with what we have!

Today has been a lazy day for me and I really have accomplished nothing but I have been daydreaming about how I wish Gary would someday agree that we need to build onto our house.  I was cleaning out my email folders and came across this photo of a darling little house...I wish my house looked like this!  He could build onto the front of the house and make my little house look like this doll house!  I love all that pretty gingerbread!


See what I mean about "never being satisfied".  My house is perfectly fine and I barely can keep it clean now but still I want more!  After I cleaned the bedrooms last week (walls, ceiling, linens, curtains, knick-knacks...everything) I spent the next couple of days just taking it easy as  the scrubbing caused an old shoulder injury to flare up again.  I did manage to clean up my pc and have most everything moved to my external hard-drive now.  700 GBs and I have it nearly full now!  I have tons of digital products, and many I have never used, but yet I continue to buy and download more!  No wonder my husband can not understand when he sees all the PayPal transactions.  "But just look at the memories I am preserving for my family" is my argument to him, lol!  This is what I have made so far with that adorable GONE FISHING BUNDLE by Fly Pixel Studios I showed you last week!


And here are some of the goodies I have made with this month's SBE-U Build It!-Simply Feminine Collection with my adorable Granddaughter and her Mother!

Kiimi's new SIMPLE BEAD ALPHAs-WHITE and BLACK and BEADED WORD SETS for BOYS and GIRLS are so easy to use and add extra special touches to layouts!

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***

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

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
