NOTES FROM THE HOLLER

I have long been a fan of Captivated Visions, and her talented creative team, the Captivating Sistas.  I look through her gallery at Scrapbook Graphics and wish I could be  so creative in my scrapbooking.  Lets face it, I am not but still I am very much inspired by those girls!  I purchased the "Life Is Like A Rodeo" kit by Captivated Visions   from Scrapbook Graphics and I so love working with it! I used the layout Hang In There by Patti as my inspiration for the following page. The additional elements are from The Sun of Africa mini kit from My Memories.com Darius Rucker took the lyrics from an old Bob Dylan song which was the theme from the 1973 movie Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid, and has made a country hit.  My husband and grandson love this song, and when Isaac visited us this weekend, he sat at Pap's computer loving on Teddy, and watching Darius' video over and over, singing right along with it.   The Studio Captivated Visions at ScrapbookG

I thought about giving my blog completely up, then I thought I would completely change it and begin completely fresh with a new blog but I don't really deal well with change, as those who know me can affirm. This blog has served me well and faithfully stands by, ready,  whenever I need it, so I think I will hang on to it a little longer. My family is going
