Happy Day After!

I hope every one enjoyed a wonderful day close to their family and loved ones yesterday!  We had a great day here yesterday with all of the kids ( except for Nick and his family) and my brother spending the day with lots of food, lots of gits and lots of fun!  Nicholas joined us via telephone for a while.  The only bad news of the day was to learn he has to leave yet once again to Iraq in February.  This will make his fourth time to the Middle East since 911...when will it ever be over...I guess with two in the military, I just might as well get used to it as Michael will probably have to go back in 2010 as well.

Anyway, the day was good and as soon as everyone left, I went to bed and crashed until five this morning.  That is the longest I have slept in one stretch in months.  Now today is for the cleanup as I did nothing before I went to bed, lol.  Hopefully I can talk Matt and Noelle back over today to help eat some of this food!  Every year I say I am not going to cook as much, and every year there seems to be more!  Several desserts were not even touched, if you can believe that!

All of my brag books, albums and photo books were well received and I am all ready planning for next year as Gary wants to have photo books for every one...he loved them.   Gary wants to make big photo books next year with 100 pages!  Easy for him to say, huh, lol!

I will try to post some pictures soon.  I have not even looked at them yet but I conned my Grandson Nick into being my photographer this year so I can't wait to see them!
Happy Scrappin!

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...

Anchors Aweigh

In 1906, Bandmaster Lieutenant Zimmerman was approached by Midshipman First Class Alfred Hart Miles with a request for a new march or fight song. Midshipman Miles was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1907. Miles and his classmates were eager "to have a piece of music that would be inspiring, one with a swing to it so it could be used as a football marching song, and one that would live forever." The two men reportedly worked out the tune and it was first called "Stand Navy Down The Field". "Aweigh", meaning to raise or hoist, comes from the nautical phrase "to weigh anchor". The current lyrics, as revised by George D. Lottman, were adopted in the 1920s, and it is now recognized as the U.S. NAVY Anthem. "Stand, Navy, out to sea, Fight our battle cry; We'll never change our course, So vicious foe steer shy-y-y-y. Roll out the TNT, Anchors Aweigh. Sail on to victory And sink their bones to Davy Jones, hooray! Anchors Aweigh...
