OH MY WOW!!!!

I can't believe how long it has been since I have made a blog post.  I guess I just needed a hiatus and boy did I take a long one.  I am finally scrapbooking again and had forgotten what it meant to me to be able to create art.  But there has been so much going on with life that I just couldn't create.  But I am happy to say officially that I am back and I hope to continue to create and share.  Here are several layouts that I have created recently....

This is my grand-daughter when she was a baby.  She is three now, wow where has the time gone?

This is my daughter Ariel....she is so photogenic.  This was one of her senior pictures that I took of her.  This was taken at the Cultural Center at the Capital.

And last but not least the is my son Cody and his girlfriend Victoria.  Aren't they a beautiful couple?

I have to share this picture.  When the hurricane hit the east coast last month our power was out for a while.  We received quite a bit of snow, heavy wet snow....so most know what that means:  no power.  Well I wanted something sweet to eat and we had to eat the food in the fridge so that we didn't lose it (although we did lose a lot of it)...but I found the cinnamon roles.  So desperate times call for desperate measures.....

Yes that is my dutch oven on top of the kerosene heater and YES you can cook cinnamon rolls on top of the kerosene heater!  AND they were yummy!

And the next two pictures are why we were without power!!!!

Now I want to post something that I am very proud of.  My son Cody.  Cody is in military school at Mountaineer Challenge Academy.  He is doing so awesome and I am so very proud of him and the man that he has become in this program.  My son left a boy and has become an amazing man, the man I knew that he had the potential of being.

Isn't he a handsome man?  I know that I am partial, but he is a handsome devil.

Oh well, that is all for today, I am sitting in a hotel room that I can pick up my handsome devil for Thanksgiving break tomorrow.  It is time for The Voice ;o)

I will be posting more!

Toodles....

Now on to what I created... 

The dress form that I used was from this month's kit at Flying Unicorn.  They have the most amazing kits!

Now to explain how I made this beautiful dress form... I first painted the dress from with gold Dreamcoat paint on both sides.  For the stand I painted it brown and then went over it with Rock Candy Distress Crackle Paint.  Once everything was dry I decided on the paper and applied it to the side that was going to be the back of the form.  I used KaiserCraft's Duchess Collection.  I then used some white tulle for the skirt that had dots of gold glitter on it.  I then used some old paper that I had that was cream colored and shiny for the top. I added different laces and some pearls to the waist.  I put an old hat pin that I found in a junk box into the ribbon flower on the waist as well as a butterfly and Prima bling.  On the bodice I used lace and some flowers that I bought in the floral dept at Hobby Lobby.  I found a vintage hat on line that I printed out and colored with Smooch Paint in Turquoise.  Along the neck and shoulder I used Mudd Puddles Sea Glass for a finishing touch.

I hope you enjoyed my dress form. Next up is Sue. 

I'm sure she has something AMAZING to share with you!

It's Blog Hop Time!!!

Now on to what I created...

This layout is of my husband and I...It isn't very often that I get him to be serious in a picture. He is usually doing something goofy! The print paper is from the Bo Bunny Enchanted collection. The chippie that I used is Dusty Attic and I did the "Drunken Scotch" technique on it. For this technique, cover the chippie with Glossy Accents or Diamond Glaze. Then apply drops of alcohol ink randomly in different colors and watch is spread out over the wet Glossy Accents. Then heat with your heat gun until it starts to bubble. Let bubble for just a little bit and then let it cool. It is a beautiful look that is easy and you will love! I added some red lace to the layout and flowers that I got from Flying Unicorn, some felt hearts and a few pieces of bling to complete.

I hope you enjoyed my layout. Next up is LaDiva. I'm sure she has something AMAZING to share with you!

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 the month for this layout.  I love the way that this picture is perfect for this paper.  Don't you agree?

Here is another one that I did with the kit.  This is my daughter Ariel with Joey.  She loves him so much.  I just love the colors of this kit.  

Okay those are the only two that I am going to post for now, although I do have many more before I am caught up.

Enjoy ;o)
