SALE! SALE! SALE! Here's a doozy of a sale! Take advantage while you can....who knows when the next one will be. It only lasts until Sunday October 4th, so hurry, hurry, hurry!

After making the previous post and seeing that there is only 87 days left before Christmas (can you believe that?!), I started feeling guilty for not sharing some of the gifts I am making with you! I thought I better start posting a few so you all do not think I am a lazy couch-potato, although I must admit my place on the couch is broken in pretty good! One of my Christmas goals is to have a twenty page album for all seven of Hubby's siblings. I have several of them finished, although I still have to print them. I must start on that process soon!! This morning I just finished one for his older sister. Agathalene's album is made entirely with the Beautiful Memories Collection by Kimberly Stewart . This collection has a lot of elegance and worked equally well for both my heritage and newer photos. This collection done in a lovely color scheme of purple and green includes not only a large page kit with tons of elements but also available are two Quick Page Bundles and tw

I have been neglecting the blogging as of late! Sorry about that! I have no real excuses so there is nothing more to say - lol! As the Christmas counter is ticking off the days, I have been scrapping like a bad woman trying to get some Christmas gifts done, and since they are gifts, I can't really show them to you for fear the "giftee" (is that a real word?) will see them but I will try to be back soon!

I hope everyone in the US enjoyed a nice holiday weekend. We had a great time. On Thursday night, Gary and I went to the Grayson County Fair for the first night's Demolition Derby. The Derby itself was not very good but I did see a lot of old faces from my home town so that made up for the fair being such a bomb! It really has gone down hill! The carnival itself was filled with rides and games that looked as if they had seen better days, and then, I was really bombed went I went through the Women's Building! Very few exhibits there. Back in the day, when I took my craft projects, and cooking and sewing, and what-have-you, the building could barely hold all the local homemakers submissions. This year, I could have displayed EVERYTHING quite nicely in my livingroom! The Merchants Building was the same way, all of three or four displays were all that was set up. It really was disappointing but on Friday night we returned none-the-less with my youngest son, his wife and
