I was blog hopping the other day and stopped by Creative Scrappers.  They had posted Sketch #164 which I thought was such a good example of  less is more!  I created the below LO from this sketch: This was Temple's first year on the swim team and she totally loved it.  The season ended yesterday with the Championships.  Temple finished this season landing somewhere in the middle of the pack of

Once again, I share with you a LO I did of Temple!  On one of our trips to Disney, she persistently asked for a Disney dress (ie, costume!), and I kept telling her no - 1) because she grows so much and so quickly that I think it's a waste of money, and 2) because she would wear it a couple of times before moving on to the next thing.  I told her that she could get shorts or a t-shirt, you know

Hello!  I hope you are well!  I've been doing a little scrapping this week.  As usual I created a LO of my favorite subject, Temple!  It's hard to see the name of this LO--it's Sweet Cupcake. This is a picture I took of Temple a few months ago when we visited the Kennedy Space Center.  She's wearing her father's hat.  I also photoshopped the photo to give it that retro look to go with the hat!

Hello!!!  I know I've been gone for a very long while.  My first issue was my extremely demanding job, which has now been taken care of--I resigned!  My last 2 weeks were the longest 2 weeks I had to live through, but I am proud to say, effective July 1st, I am now a stay-at-home-Mom!!!  And if you ask Temple, she'll tell you it's the best job Mommy has ever had.  My job kept me so stressed out

We were down in Daytona Beach a couple of weeks ago, and of course I took pictures of Temple!  She's on the swim team this year and out of all of the sports activities we've had her in over the years, I think she's found her sport.  The team will have their first competition on June 11th, and Coach Kate has the team perfecting their freestyle technique.  They've also started to learn the breast

We're up to Sketch 5 at Club Got Sketch!  We went to our County Fair for the 1st time since we've been here in Florida and they had a candy store that just threw me back into my childhood.  There was candy bins after candy bins of some of my favorite childhood candies--it was just amazing!  From the dozens of pictures I took, I narrowed down my choices to the 4 candies pictured here: What

I created another LO based on the Club Got Sketch sketch--it was a double pager which I am not a fan of but I did it! We went to Virginia at Chrismas 2010 to celebrate the holiday with my brother-in-law's family, and the night before we started home it snowed and I was able to take these great pictures on the road.  Yes I actually got these pictures in the moving SUV with my zoom lens that my DH

I registered for Club Got Sketch this week.  It's a Valerie Salmon sketch site based on her Got Sketch series of classes.  I chose, of course to do this LO of Temple and I used the colors based on Temple's outfit.  Temple is a cool kid and she's very funny, so it's always a fun time aroumd this child of mine!

Hello! I know it's been a very good while.  I was actually without my computer for the first 2 weeks of the month.  We spent Christmas with my brother-in-law and his family and my laptop caught a virus at the hotel where we were staying (I'm still unsure how McAfee got disabled) but my laptop was wiped.  Thank goodness the tech was able to save my pictures and documents.

The project today was to get the tree up and decorated.  I can't believe how long that took!  Temple and I somehow hung the lights wrong and we had to pull them all off and start again--you would not believe I got to the point where I was literally screaming with frustration!!!  After many hours, the tree was finally finished.

This is my great-nephew, Josiah!  Josiah is my niece's son and he is 5yrs old and truly adorable, charming, and extremely intelligent.  My brother who is Josiah's grandfather unfortunately and unexpectedly passed away 6 months before my niece was born, but it's amazing how strong bloodlines, the genes and the Grace of God are because

I just posted a LO at Soul Scrappers where the challenge was to use a B&W photo.  Since I love B&W photos, this was not a hard challenge: I also scrapped a LO from a sketch that I got at Scrapbook etc.'s website. I've been digging the 8 1/2 x 11 LOs lately, and I plan to do more--I think they're cool even though it still takes me as long to do this size as it does the 12x12! Have a Blessed

I can't believe Halloween is this weekend!  Where does the time go???  We've been having fun with Halloween this year--the Community we live in has a Halloween party each year, and we go every year!  It was last Friday.  They have a costume contest too for different age groups, adults and family.  Each year Temple hopes to win for her costume and each year she doesn't win.  She tries hard not to

Temple took school pictures a couple of weeks ago, and of course, I had to scrap one right away!  Here are some close-ups: Have a wonderful Saturday!

I missed entering the Tellen's Place Challenge this week, but I did use their free image to create this Halloween Goodie Box.  Make sure you join Tellen's Place tomorrow when they post their new challenge! Have a good evening!

Here are a couple of LOs I posted over at Soul Scrappers--the Challenge was to create a LO of Fall. I created the above LO with October Kit from SEI.  I love everything in this kit! I used Stampin' Up PPs and PP scraps from my stash to create the above. Have a Blessed Evening!

I have been trying to get into the habit of immediately making a card right after creating a LO with the leftover scraps.  Here are a few to share! Most of the products used on these cards are Stampin' Up.  Thanks for looking and have a Blessed evening!

Hello All!  I hope you are having a wonderful evening.  I've once again joined in on a challenge over at Soul Scrappers.  It was a color challenge to use blue, brown and off-white in your project.  I did this LO of Charles and Temple when we were down in Daytona Beach this summer.You see, you can get away with adding flowers to a LO with a picture of a man!  Ah, to be so carefree as my Girl!

Hello All! I have been trying to post for the last couple of days and once again I was either having trouble with my laptop, or our router seemed to be on the blink! The ARTastic DT was charged to create a LO based on 'A Summer Morning' by Rupert Bunny. The bonus criteria is: use shades of pink = 1 pt pink rose(s) = 2 pts white bird(s) = 3 pts This beautiful painting certainly lends to the

I participated in Soul Scrappers, Soul Quest Challenge.  Each entrant was mailed the same embellies to use in a LO which had to be based on this quote, "If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking."I managed to use all of the embellies in this LO.  Of course I didn't take a pic of the goodies before I used them, but a few of them were the arrows, the stamped

Here's a digi LO to share with you this Sunday evening.  I sometimes forget that everything does not have to be hard, and every moment doesn't have to be filled with some activity.  There are times in our lives that should just be simple, serene.  I was looking at these pictures that Charles took of me when we were away for the weekend in April to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and I remember

I was introduced to a scrapping website called Soul Scrappers.  It's a cool site with scrappy challenges.  I decided to do their sketch challenge #18.  I decided to do a Disney page since we went to Disney World several times this summer and I had not yet scrapped a LO.  Here is my LO: This page is soooo bright and happy--just like Disney World!Here are some closeups: When you have a moment

Happy Saturday Morning! Just thought I'd share a Temple LO with you.  It's so funny how just a short while ago, she'd get so excited over another LO of herself.  Now she is soooo over it and couldn't care less!!!  When did that happen?  Luckily, she still enjoys the picture-taking, but what will I do when she's no longer interested in that as well?  Why do they have to grow up so fast?  Thank

My girlfriend Stacy got married Labor Day Saturday!  And it was a lovely wedding!  Of course, I am doing a scrapbook wedding album which I plan for her Christmas gift.  I'll share some of the LOs as I get them done.  I do have the card that I made for her from Charles, Temple and me that I'd like to share. I find that I'm in love with Kraft cardstock right now--this is from Stampin Up and so is

Temple had a very distinct personality right from the start.  She didn't cry a lot and she was always observant.  When other babies would feed off of each other when one would cry and the others would join in, Temple would look at all of them as if they were a science project to observe!  When she was a wee baby, I used to look at her giving me her "Look" and I would always go right back at her,

The second year of my grandmother's sunset is coming up and I find myself thinking about her more than I already do.  Scrapping is so therupeutic -- I know because it helped me through my grief at losing this most important person.  I scrapped almost a whole album of Gramps that week I was home.  I'll share those LOs with you sometime.  In the meantime, here is a LO that I worked on this week to

I was asked by my good friend, Shazza to join the Design Team at ARTastic!  ARTastic is a great monthly challenge blog that provides inspiration from a piece of artwork and combines it with Diva Demands for extra bonus points.  My duties begin September 1st and since ARTastic is an Australian-based blog, it is already September 1st, and therefore my duties begin today!!!

Charles, Temple and I worked this weekend on painting Temple's bedroom.  Temple's new comforter set was a bright green, so Temple and I were off to Home Depot with the pillow sham so she could choose a paint color.  I tried everything I could think of to persuade Temple to choose a green shade that wasn't so deep, but she wasn't having it!  She chose a paint color which was very close to the

This month's ARTastic inspiration is the painting "Sunset" by Claude Monet.  I think this is a wonderfully, serene piece.  The Diva Demands were to include a Sun or Sunset (1pt), shades of blue and green (2pts), and include a silhouette (3pts) for a total of 6 extra points!I managed to meet the demand criteria with my PPs of blue and green, my black butterfly and my red sun way down on my layout

I am again inspired by the wonderful creations out there in Blogland! I visited Amy and found this awesome LO she did for her DT duties at Dirty Scraps You have to go and visit her blog to read her insightful journaling about people who you think are your friends. Next, I visited Alicia who created a lovely card from this sketch from Chi Chi MemoriesI just love the pinkness of it!  And the digi

Monday was the first day back to school for Temple.  This was no hardship for her because our girl simply loves school!  Of course I got pictures, and I decided to use another sketch from Creative Scrappers.  So this LO is based on Sketch #117 created by the very talented July Gaceta whose work I admire! I really like the sketches offered by Creative Scrappers and the LOs created by their DT are

Good Morning! I have a busy Saturday planned for today but before all of my running around begins, I wanted to share with you a LO I did of my sister-in-law, Kathy and her daughter, Kayla.  This was one of the pics I took when we were at the Japanese restaurant for our family barbecue dinner turned Hibachi dinner when my brother-in-law's family was visiting a couple of weeks ago. Kathy and Kayla

Charles' brother, Brian and his family, wife, Kathy, daughter Kayla and son, Hunter were in town for their annual visit with my mother-in-law and us.  The tradition has been to have a family barbeque but we did something a little different this year, we had Hibachi at our local Japanese restaurant.  We started out the day at the beach which was going along fine until the heavens decided to open

Hello All!  I know it's been a while but I have been experiencing some serious computer problems--I am just not computer literate and Charles who doesn't know much more than I was the one who got my laptop to work now.  I really have to take it in to Best Buy for a Geek Squad checkup.  My problem though is when is there a good time to do it??? I have a few LOs to share with you that I've done

I've been meaning to post these school layouts of Temple for some time now.  I can finally put these LOs in Temple's scrapbook! I must admit school pictures look far better now than when I was a kid!  And thank goodness because these pictures cost a fortune, and the school photographers know that the parents will pay just to have the pics of their little cuties!  And here are the pics to prove

My goodness, it's been a while!  I feel as if I've been on a mad adventure.  Well, first thing's first--I mentioned in an earlier post that I had to take some special blood tests.  The good news is that my liver (which was the cause for concern) is fine, however, the bad news is that I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. After some research into my condition, I began to understand why I was

I can't believe it's been almost 2 weeks since I last posted.  I've been dealing with some medical problems lately that has me a bit self-absorbed.  I'm home today because I have a doctor's appt this afternoon to go over the results of some special blood tests that she had me do. First I want to start off with the Tellen's Place Challenge this week which is "Going to the Chapel!"  That's right,

Good Morning! We are on our way to Disney World for the day!  I hope you have something fun planned as well.  I was getting ready to do a digi while on this drive down and came across this digi that I did last week, I think, of myself!This is a picture of Temple and one of her girlfriend's, Valerie, that was taken about 2 years ago.  It's amazing how much she's grown since.This was a quick page

I have been waiting for several months to announce that I am GDT member for the month of June at ARTastic!!!  ARTastic is a monthly challenge blog that provides artwork as the inspiration. This month's inspiration piece is "The Perfumed Garden" by John Coburn: I just loved the beautiful tree and the muted colors.  The birds are lovely and color of the falling leaves is gorgeous! Here's my

It's Wednesday, which means there's a new challenge over at Tellen's Place!  This week, you are challenged to use 2 PPs in your project.  O.K., I was a bit liberal with my PPs--I think I used about 3 or 4;D:I love these pictures of Temple--they are actually her end of year school pictures, hence my apple PP!  I did a lot more journaling than I usually do, but I wanted to say a little bit about

I know I am a day late but Tellen's Place posted its challenge yesterday and what a fun challenge it is--use the fabulous color combo, Pink & Brown! I am a lover of the 12x12 LO, but I decided for this challenge to make a mini album of Temple and her BFF, Tatiana. We went to the beach 2 weeks ago and we took Tatiana, my mother-in-law and her sweet little dog, Coco. The girls had a wonderful time

From Screen 2 Scrap is a monthly challenge blog owned by my good friend, Shazza!  It offers up a movie poster for your inspiration, along with some bonus points criteria.  This month's inspiration is Fried Green Tomatoes!  The challenge is to scrap about an important woman in your life.  I was inspired by the poster to create a LO about Temple and her BFF, Tatiana.  These girls are really close

My goodness, I am 50 today and Loving it!!!  My DH bought me a 1/2 day at one of my favorite spas which I will be off to in a couple of hours.  I am going to have a full body massage, facial, manicure and they will serve me lunch--it just doesn't get any better than that! As for my birthday goodies, I did the random generator at Random.org this morning, and here are the winners: Shari will get 29

These are pix taken of Temple a couple of weeks ago @ her favorite girls' clothing store called Justice, just for girls!  She was trying on the hats, but we didn't buy any!

Candy Shoppe's challenge this month is It's Raining, It's Pouring and I immediately thought of this cute digi image from Tellen's Place Designs (and which I am a design team member) to use!  This is Sophie with her umbrella--she's cute, isn't she!?! We all have those days even when the sun is shining bright that it just seems to be pouring--we don't even want to get out of the bed.  If we're

Yesterday morning, Charles decided that we needed a few plants to add to our front and back yards.  So, we went to a new nursery that just opened about 1/2 mile down the road from us. So Temple, ever the Daddy's girl, got to pick most of the flowers (with a little help from Mommy and Daddy!) I must say, she took her assignment very seriously, chose well and even pulled the cart around the lot to

It's week 12 Challenge at Tellen's Place and it's all about YOU!  That's right, you have a blank canvas and it's all about whatever you want it to be. There are no restrictions and you can just do whatever you want to do?  Terry's son, Markus, made the Design Team their own images, which was quite thrilling, and you can see all of the creativity used by the Design Team with their image!  Here's

I received this email from my sister the other day.  It was a poem entitled "A Good Woman."  She said it reminded her of me.  Maybe some of you have seen this floating around the internet but this was my first time seeing it and I was deeply touched that my sister thought of me when she read it!

I know I haven't blogged in a while!  You know how it is sometimes where you're running as fast as you can and yet you still can't catch up with yourself?  Well, that's me. First let me start with my birthday blog candy--I decided to make another page to keep it all in one place.  You'll see at the top of my blog my birthday blog candy page.  Make sure you click on it and check out the goodies.
