Counting My Blessings

It’s been a good day for me.  The only real chore I had to do today was take DS14 over to the Army Surplus Store for a pair of boots he can wear at his Young Marines functions.  Other than that (becuase the housework is always calling and I’ve gotten pretty good at ignoring it) [...]

Another Kathy (CT) Layout

Man, Kathy’s on fire today! I sent my new kit out to the CT this morning and within literally hours she sent back this fantastic layout!

You can see more beautiful stuff on her blog — The Scrap Loft

Pool Fun

Check out this cute LO done by Kathy of The Scrap Loft

She used elements from my Somewhere Beyond the Sea kit which you can pick up as a freebie here.  I just love the way she used the ribbon and rope as a border on the left.  That’s really cute.  And I like the offset [...]

Welcome to the Creative Team

Good morning,
Oh, I’m so terribly excited this morning.  Three marvelous ladies have offered to join my creative team.  Now that I’m designing kits I find myself most intrigued at how other creative people will use them.  And these ladies rock!  You should check out their blogs to see the wonderful work they do!!  First there’s [...]

June Desktop Calendar Freebie

Good morning all,
It’s almost June so it’s time for me to get a new desktop calendar freebie out.  Here’s an example of what it looks like with my darling babies (who aren’t babies anymore — especially if one of them has to <gasp> shave!).

And you can download your very own quick page to use with [...]

He’s Gotta What?!?!

No new layouts or anything today (although I’m working on a June calendar quick page for your monitor and should have it up tomorrow I hope), but I just had to stop by and bemoan a fact of life.  My eldest is in the Young Marines and he’s only 14.  Well, the other day the [...]

Another Day, Another Layout

Still trying to get through all the cruise pictures.  Here’s a layout of the character breakfast we had.  It was fun!  As always, click on the pic for credits.

Proud of My Boy

The lyrics on this page are from a demo that was done for Aladdin but apparently not included in the movie.  Every time I hear the song I cry.  I’ve got a young man at home that’s 14.  He’s a good boy, but he’s having a hard time turning into a man.  I emphathize — [...]

I love challenges

I do love challenges.  Sometimes when I’m wanting to scrap but have no idea what I want to do, a challenge will spur me on.  But sometimes I sit and stew about challenges.  Thus was the case this week with the challenge from the disboards.  Mainly it was the subject matter.  We were supposed to [...]

Happy Memorial Day

Good morning everyone,
Happy Memorial Day to everyone.  This holiday means a lot to me, and even more as I grow older and more patriotic.  Although I’ve been fortunate enough not to know anyone that has been lost in service to our country, I fully recognize that freedom isn’t free.  While I do make sure I [...]
