School House Rock

Hey! I really like the way school gives special recognition to students whom do their best work. Back-in-the day, when I went to school...yes I did walk to school, and yes we did not have snow days so I have walked to school before when there was deep snow BUT I always had shoes! However, good grades were just something that was expected out of us. No special rewards or recognitions were given but you would get special recognition if you did not make good grades for my parents would have beat me to death probably! Aww! Fortunately, I don't know that for sure because they had put "the fear" in me! Seriously, school was just something that came pretty easily to my brothers and I.

However, I do understand that some children have more problems than do others so a little special recognition can do nothing but boost their egos, and encourage them to try harder. I know if I had gotten the opportunity to stand in front of my classmates and receive a reward, I would have tried harder to make straight A's rather than being satisfied with A's and B's. So I am very proud when my grandchildren do well and get special recognition for their achievements. Now we don't reward with money or gifts but we do let them know how proud we are of them, and what does Granny do... well, she makes a scrapbook page of course! Hurray! So let me show what I did this time but first..how 'bout a little School House Rock to listen to while you browse...just click the following link for one of my favorites

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...

Scrapping Today

There are so many other things I should be doing today on my 10th Wedding Anniversary but Hubby had to work, and I have so many pretties that I purchased on National Scrapbooking Day-well, I just want to play!!! And I want to remind you that today is the last day to grab Rina's NSD Grabbag at the incredibly low price of $2.95. This Grabbag is so huge-it is one that just can not be missed! I made the following layout for Rina's Scripture Challenge with the Joyful Awakening Stacked Papers which is just one of the hidden beauties in this bag! I made the next page for the SBE-Layout Inspiration Challenge . It is inspired by Tomorrows and Yesterdays by Danessa . I used Rina's Secrets in The Attic Page set and the In Memoriam Element Set by Kimberly Stewart and Rina Kroes. It is a heritage page for the album I am working on for the Phelps Family Reunion. This next page was made for Build A Fairy Treehouse Challenge at Enchanted Studio Scraps. For this challenge...

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...
