Precious Memories

Precious mem'ries, unseen angels
Sent from somewhere to my soul
How they linger, ever near me
As the sacred past unfold.

Precious mem'ries, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.

As I travel on life's pathway
I know not what the years may hold
And as I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious mem'ries floods my soul.

Precious mem'ries how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold...

Many of you know that I my favorite pastime is digi-scrapping, and I especially love doing heritage pages. I have completed several family photo books for our Kiper and Phelps family. It is my attempt to share with my children and grandchildren their heritage; a glimpse into

the lives of the families, they never really got to know. They do not have the privilege of sitting around the kitchen table on a Sunday afternoon surrounded by grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends as I did at my Grandma Stewart's house. And, they don't really remember all the wonderful days we shared with their numerous Mudd relatives at Mamaw and Papaw Nette's

house when they were small. It is my belief that these memories are great treasures, and it is my duty to get as much recorded for them as possible while I can. When I am gone, so too are the

Precious Memories.

So in that spirit, I scrap, and once again, I am working on some Stewart and Mudd heritage pages.

It takes many hours to work on these massive scrapbooks, so it is, it seems, a never ending process.

Especially as I strive to keep up with my family's here-and-now, everyday photos but digi-scrapping is how I maintain my sanity as I spend hours and hours with only me, myself and I as a stay-at-home Granny. Some days, I can roll out numerous scrapbook pages; some days I am lucky to get one finished. Then there are days and weeks, that I forget about it all together. But that is the beatuty

of digi-scrapping for as long as my computer keeps working all it takes for me to get started is to sit down with my photo-editing software of choice, and begin.

Thank you for stopping by today and visiting with me here in the holler.

I hope you come back again soon for I have plans to share many new scrapbook pages with you.

I also have a couple of Facebook Pages where I share digi-scrapping, and much more!

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...
