NOTES FROM THE HOLLER

Its Monday!  The last few days of August has brought to us some cooler temperatures here in the holler, and we have much appreciated the break as the unrelenting sizzling heat has broke many records here this year.  Now if we could get just get some much needed rain!  Humans are funny people-we seem to never be satisfied with what we have! Today has been a lazy day for me and I really have accomplished nothing but I have been daydreaming about how I wish Gary would someday agree that we need to build onto our house.  I was cleaning out my email folders and came across this photo of a darling little house...I wish my house looked like this!  He could build onto the front of the house and make my little house look like this doll house!  I love all that pretty gingerbread! See what I mean about "never being satisfied".  My house is perfectly fine and I barely can keep it clean now but still I want more!  After I cleaned the bedrooms last week (w...

My DH will absolutely kill me!!  I have been on a real spending spree lately what with Wallie World and digital scrapbook supplies, and I promised him last week that I would put a cease to it but I could not help myself!  What is it that has caused me to risk life and limb you ask.... GONE FISHING from Fly Pixel Studio at Ninth and Bloom When I saw the preview with the cat holding a fishing pole, well I HAD to have this kit!  My boys all love to fish, and DH always questions what kind of pole a cat uses when they go catfishing, so I know I will make good use of this kit!  I got the GONE FISHING BUNDLE on sale at 50% off so hopefully, he will not to much damage to my head!  Click on the above links to check evrything out more closely and Happy Scrappin!

Scrapbook-Elements Store is now back online !! To celebrate our return we are having a 35% off sale on almost everything in the store from now through Monday midnight CT. This includes all current "New Releases"  Rina is back as well!  I know you have anxiously been waiting for her and as usual, she has not disappointed us with her new page set, LUSH . "Uninhibited raucous color abounds in Rina's vibrant Lush collection, inspired by the luxuriance of wildlife and fertile forests. Natural earthy tones combine with splashes of verdant greens, exuberant red and slate blue (with just a touch of delicious lime and orange) that will set off your black-and-white photos beautifully. Great for woodland adventures, tropical getaways or conjuring up exotic locations."

I hope everyone in the good ole USA enjoyed a great Independence Day!  I have had four of my grandchildren this weekend and we had a great time!  They played HARD all day yesterday and then last night we took a picnic and drove to the Rough River Dam to watch the big fireworks show.  They really enjoyed themselves!  Today we went to one of my brother's home and had a cook-out.  I took lots of pictures but I have not had time to get them out of the camera but I am sure I will posting some new layouts with them soon.  I really am pooped but I had made the cutest little quickpage for you this week.  I used the newly released ALL AMERICAN KIDS KIT from Kimberly Stewart - an All American set perfect for a fun filled patriotic holiday!  Kimmi also released the equally patriotic LIBERTY KIDS Kit !  I played with both kits a little this week and had so much fun, so I hope you go check them out today.  And don't forget to download the freebie I ...
