Well it is a yucky day here in West Virginia.  I am sitting here with one of my sons watching tv, so I thought I would do some posting on the ole blog. This first layout is of my autistic son Joey.  We were at Virginia Beach on Memorial Day and this was a picture that I was able to catch while we were waiting on some food.  It is very hard to get a picture of him.  I used Flying Unicorn's kit of

And everyone that knows me, knows that I am a self professed "flower floozy"  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE flowers!  It is very hard for me to do a layout without flowers.  So if you want a chance to win head on over!

So far so good...meaning on me sticking to my resolution of posting more on my blog ;o)  It is a beautiful cold day here in West Virginia, we escaped a snow storm...AGAIN.  And I dislike that, well with growing up in southeast Texas, I hate the heat and love the snow ;o)  I keep trying to talk hubby into moving out west, like Colorado or Wyoming, but it hasn't happened yet.  Now if there were a

Well I have been the scrap room for two nights now.  I have been creating and I love it.  But I am not going to post a new layout.  I have been so behind on posting layouts that I need to get caught up with the old ones ;o) I hope that you enjoy!

We all make them....you know, New Year's Resolutions.  But do we actually keep up with them?  I for one am guilty of making them and then not following through, or only doing them for a couple of weeks.  I have made only resolution for this year (yeah, right), well one that I am seriously going to try and keep up with that is.  That resolution is to be a blogger and post more of my scrapbooking

Well I am so glad that I have started scrapbooking again!  I forgot how much I love it and how therapeutic it can be.  I so wish I would not have sold all of my stuff when I quit earlier in the year, but one good thing did come out of it....I remodeled my whole kitchen, including appliances, lol. I do have a lot of pictures to post of things that I have done, but I wanted to put this little

Well after taking almost a year away from scrapping, I have returned!!!  I had forgotten how much I enjoy it and how relaxing it is for me.  So without further adieu here is the first layout that I have just finished creating.  It is my daughter Ariel.  We took her senior pictures in Colorado and Wyoming when we were on vacation there in 2009.  This is one of those pictures.

Well it has been a couple of weeks and I thought that maybe I should update the ole blog with some things that I have done.  I feel as if I have gotten my creative mojo back and I am loving it.  I am working on a paper bag album right now that I hope to have finished today.  Then I believe that I am going to try to sell it.  I have been thinking lately about opening up an etsy shop and making

Gosh, where has the time gone?  I can't believe that it is already October!  I am loving the fall weather that we are having and I can't wait until the leaves start changing colors!  Fall is a favorite season of mine! I was very productive this weekend, but there is a reason too!  I was at Crop for a Cure with Heavenly Scrapbooking Retreats.  We had a blast! I was able to work on my design

Boy, I have been on a roll the past couple of days....I hope that it never ends, but inevitably it usually does and the mojo fairies leave me again. Anyway...for those of you who know me, know that I HATE making cards.  Well low and behold, what did I do yesterday?  I made a stinking card!  and the best part?  I like it.....It is made out of a paper bag ;o) Here are the pics: The Front of the

Monday was my little boys birthday...well o.k. so he isn't so little anymore, but he will always be my little boy.Over at The Mosy Scrapper we had a color of the week challenge with this photo:   So when we took Cody's picture right before the cake, I knew that I would be doing a layout for this challenge! Here is what I did: So anyway that is it for now...We have another color challenge up so

Haven't had much time to do much of anything....this is the reason why: Xena had her puppies....she had 4 girls and 3 boys.  She is such a good momma too! I did get a little bit of time to complete this layout of my beautiful granddaughter, Gianna.... O.K....so I know that this is short and sweet, but all I have time for right now.... So as Jake (daddy of the puppies) would say: Here's

Well now, I decided to do some scrapping for me...well I did use some challenges over at the Mosy Scrapper to help out a little bit ;o)This first layout is of my son, Cody. This was a sketch challenge that Christa gave to us at TMS. It is the Teen Angst collection from We R Memory Keepers and the wings are from Prima.This next layout is of my grandchildren, Dominick and Gianna. The picture was

This is also another layout that I did with my Anthologies Connection kit. I have been working on this one for a couple of weeks. For some reason this was a really hard layout for me and then all of a sudden on Monday it all came together. Who knows.... I hope that you like it. I know I can't wait for the next Anthologies Connection kit! It should be coming soon!

I love it and it was so quick and easy to do ;o) I was also able to use more items from this months sponser at The Mosy Scrapper, My Little Bit of Whimsy.

My plan was to post more on my blog, but is seems as if I never have the time.  Where do all of you bloggers find time to get here and post?  I need to know!!!!   I have things that I would love to talk about on here, but then forget about them, why?  Because I got to busy to post them!  And to think I don't work outside of the home, I should have all kinds of time....imagine what it would be

I cannot believe that July is already here!  June was such a busy month....hopefully I can slow down and breathe a little bit in the near future.  I am way behind on everything that needs to be done. I did finish a design team creation for The Mosy Scrapper.  The sponsor for July was My Little Bit of Whimsy.  Stephanie Hart is the owner of My Little Bit of Whimsy and her items of Polymer clay

We have had a rough day today.  Both my husband and I are volunteer firefighters.  We have had several inches of rain and everyone around here knows that is not good in the mountains.  It comes down off of the mountains fast and hard!  With all of the snow that we have had that has recently melted the ground is saturated.  The creeks and rivers are raging and overflowing their banks.  This

In 2007 designer Tim Holtz started something.  He started his now famous 12 days of Christmas Tags.  That is when I fell in love with his style and wanted to learn everything that he taught.  This year I am trying to keep up and make the tags each day as he does.  If you would like to know more about Tim and learn about his crafting or to find the steps in making his gorgeous tags, then please go

A person in the scrapbooking industry was stolen from recently.  Tim Holtz is known by everyone who scrapbooks.  We all love his style, his flair, his kindness and generosity.  As he was getting ready to leave the Carson City stamp show, his bag was stolen.  It had his laptop, phone, jewelry, his medication....his life....all of this was in his bag.  How can someone do this?  How can they live

This past weekend I attended Scrap Pink in Flatwoods, West Virginia.  We had so much fun.  All of the proceeds went to the Susan G.

Tina and I roomed together, here is our pic together...I am so going to miss her when she moves, she is truly a BFF :o) For me, I accomplished quite a bit.  Here are

Why is it that school districts won't get our kids the things that our kids need?  Joey had his augmentative evaluation back in March of this year.  According to the law, Policy 24-19, the school district only has so many days to impliment what it is determined the child needs.  Well it was determined that Joey needed an augmentative device.  Well of course Boone County schools fell down on the

Well August 26, 2009 was an emotional day for me. My baby girl Ariel had her last first day of school....meaning....She is a senior this year. It seems as if just yesterday I was putting her on the school bus for the very first time. Where has the time gone? I know she has grown up already. I know that is just a clone of her every time I see her mouth open and she starts asking what she

I thought I would take the time to post some projects that I have completed in the last week. The other day a friend posted a link to a blog http://frecklednest.blogspot.com/2009/08/this-is-my-favorite-idea-ive-ever-had.html She had found a vintage gumball machine and took it home, cleaned it up and filled it with white buttons.

I can't believe how long it has been since I have written anything here. So much has gone on! Since I was last here I took EMT classes and am now an EMT working part time. I took a hiatus from scrapbooking, but the bug has hit me again. Here are some of the layouts that I have done recently:I also had a grand-daughter enter the world on June 2, 2009.

I have a question... Why do us mom's take on so much? I mean it's not like I was busy enough with the kids and not having any extra time, but then I go and start taking EMT classes. Have I lost my freaking mind? I guess I coined it off to thinking that this is something for me to do, which it is. But why did I think that this was going to be a piece of cake?

I still love music from the 70's and 80's. 3. I LOVE calling West Virginia home.4. I am starting EMT classes next week

I didn't realize that it has been so long since I posted here. We are getting ready for school, Ariel is going to be in the 11th grade....geesh time flies. Cody will be homeschooled again this year for the 8th grade. I took a little time off of scrapbooking and I believe that my inspiration is finally coming back.

With today being all about green, "St. Patrick's Day", I have been thinking. What have we done to become for "green" friendly? Well I have changed almost all of my lightbulbs in the house to the new flourescent kind. I try to plan my days so that if I have to run errands I can get them done at one time to help save on gas. I notice at the grocery store yesterday that Clorox has come out with new

That is what Cody told me last night :) I hope that he enjoys homeschooling as much as he did when we lived in Louisiana. Tonight he is going to see the Globetrotters, so that will be fun... Yesterday we worked on Math, Spelling, Health and the Presidential Elections. Then we went to the park and walked for a while, about 30 minutes.O.K. I know that this is short, but I have a busy day today :)

Well I figured since our lives are dramatically changing that I need to start writing in my blog again. I know that I have said that before, but I am hoping that I can hold myself accountable now.We are starting a old, new adventure in our household. Cody is going to be homeschooled! We homeschooled when we lived in Louisiana and loved it. He was in the 2nd grade then though. Now he is in the 7th

Wow I am doing good :) Let's see there is a lot happening....The scrapbooking classes are doing wonderful! I am so happy that I get to share this wonderful hobby with others. I will take pictures of the layouts that I have taught and post them soon. I thought I had already taken the pictures, but I can't find them right now.Well Cody and Ariel made it through the first semester of school, Ariel

Well it has only been one month exactly since I posted.... One of my resolutions for the year of 2008 is to blog more faithfully! I hope that I can do it. I always seem to let life get in the way of me doing the things that I want to do and enjoy doing. I am hoping in the coming year to find a happy medium.Lately I find it hard to come up with inspiration for scrapbook layouts because I am always

That Monday, my father in law had a massive heart attack. He actually died twice on the way to the hospital. He survived a heart attack that not many people survive. They call it the widow maker. He had an angel with him that day! Wayne has

What is going on with me. I don't want to do anything! This depression funk is still with me and really really really getting the best of me. I am mean to everyone, myself included. I broke down and finally made an appointment with a doctor today. It just really scares me because of how I grew up. I don't want for my children to see me the way that I saw my mom. I have always considered

Wow, I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. Life seems to be slapping me in the face and trying to wake me up. The past couple of days have been very emotional and depressing for me for some reason. I think that it was our Heavenly Father telling me what I was missing in my life. Him! So, I am going to start going back to church! I know that it is what I need to be doing and

The time gone? Time flies so by so fast. My son, Cody, has gone through a rite of passage tonight. He had orientation for the 7th grade, junior high. It seems just like yesterday that I was giving birth to him, then I was sending him to preschool, then to kindergarten and now to junior high. It is so hard to believe that in two weeks, my son will go through another rite of passage...he will turn

So I guess I need to update on the past two weeks!!Well I have started teaching scrapbooking classes at a local scrapbook store; Almost Heaven Scrapbooking. I am having such a great time teaching again! I had forgotten how much I missed it. Everyone that takes the classes seem to enjoy

Saturday July 28, 2007 Well we got up here to camp about 12:00 p.m. and got the car unloaded. Then we went out to see our normal sites and stop at the normal place. The normal place that I am talking of is Meck’s. Meck’s is a Mennonite Bakery that we come to every time that we are here. They make the most wonderful baked goods! Our normal purchase includes pepperoni rolls and sticky buns.

Well today has been an exciting day. First I waited for Wayne to get home from work this morning so that we could go pay bills. So we left, Wayne dropped me off at the scrapbook store while he went next door to get the car washed... I picked up a couple of things that I need for a design team submission that I am working on. While I was there one of the classes that I am teaching filled up.

Summer that is. Joey's special education summer school program will be over with tomorrow. Ariel start practice for the flag corp team for the high school today. So that means that the footballs players will be starting their practice soon. This will mean hectic Fridays for me because if I want to go to the games and be able to watch Ariel at halftime, then I have to find a sitter for Joey as

I have to laugh at Ariel. She has decided that she wants to paint her room, even though within the next 6 months to a year we will be replacing the insulation, sheetrock and windows in her room. So I told her that is fine, but you have to take off the wall border and the walls have to be cleaned with bleach water before you can paint. She said, are you serious Mom? I said yep, sure am, but I

I wonder... I wonder if what my mom said was right..."One day I would have a child that would treat me the same way that I treated her"... I wonder how someone that you have given birth to and loved more than life itself can want to hurt you so badly... Did I treat my mother as bad as i am being treated right now.... Do I deserve to be treated this way... I don't think so, but I may be wrong.

I really enjoyed myself today :) I went to the new scrapbook store to work on a layout for a class that I will be teaching there in a couple of weeks. It was nice hanging out there and getting to know Beverly a little better. I hope that people will sign up for the class. I always worry that no one will sign up: I guess that is the pessimistic side of me.Matthew left to go back home to

I went to bed around 10 p.m. tossed and turned and finally fell asleep around 1 a.m. Woke up at 2 a.m. to go to the bathroom, went back to bed, tossed and turned....About 4 a.m. I heard something on the back porch....Great Ariel put a bag of garbage on the porch yesterday, bet the animals have gotten into

Well it is peaceful and quiet here at home. Joey is at summer camp. Blake has left to go back home. Cody is spent the night with one of his friends. Wayne is at school, so it is just me and Ariel.... She is of course on MySpace right now and I am in my own little piece of heaven in my scraproom. There is no fighting, arguing, kids running....just peace and quiet. Ahhhhhhhh.......

I can't believe I haven't posted anything since Father's Day. I am surprised that Donna hasn't gotten on my butt for it. It has been a busy and stressful time since Father's Day... As I posted before one of my son's friends is visiting him. Well he has been here almost a month, he will be leaving this coming weekend. I have enjoyed my son being able to visit with his friend, buy why in the

Today was a great day. First we let Wayne sleep in late, then we served him breakfast in bed. I made biscuits, sausage, eggs and gravy and the kids brought it to him. After he go up he thought we should go somewhere. So we went on a road trip today :)We went to Hawks Nest and New River Gorge.

Well the kids are out of school and I am ready for them to go back :) We are done with all of the end of school year activities. It is kind of sad though knowing that I no longer have children in elementary school. Everyday I get older and so are my children. I wish I could go back in time to when they were little and watch them grow all over again. You know when you are young you kind of

Well my daddy used to ship out on a sea going tug boat, the Satoca, and when the spools were empty he would load one up on his truck and bring home for me. We would put it on its side so that it would roll... I would climb on it and "walk on it while it rolled"....Those were fun!I remember when Ariel was little,

My friend Kathy made two cakes for the party and there was NONE left :) Absent minded me forgot my camera this weekend!! I cannot believe that I forgot it. I was able to take a couple of pics with one of Ariel's friends camera but she hasn't uploaded them

The past two days have been something else, that is all I can say... Yesterday I was on my way to pick up Wayne's paycheck. I was about 3 miles from home. A huge doe ran out in front of me and I hit it. It did $2000 worth of damage to my car. So yesterday I was running doing errands and I stopped at a body shop to get a quote on getting the car fixed. They opened the hood and then it took them

So I am going to write some of those....*I remember riding my bike home from school and when I got close to my house I saw my Mom and Dad standing outside. They had just gotten home with a brand new car. It was a red four door Ford Granada (lol).*I remember
