I had to let you know some of the things I Love , Got them done and now to show them to you.



Some of you already know that we have a new foster Daughter. Brandi is her name. Shes gotten the nick name of Rebel. Yes she looks like one.And at times acts like one also. Really I think it's normal for Teenage girls not to want to clean their rooms. But Brandi OMG..Three days later and we are still working on it.
The two G-Sons come tonight. Cool think were gonna have Pancakes for dinner. Well thats it for now. More in a couple days..TTFN

Catching up.



While looking for Freebies today on my usual places. The thought that I had not updated my blog hit me hard..Sorry will try to do better in the future.



Halloween is now over. I'm bummed that it's over. For many reasons this year. I have been collecting stuff to do pages for all the G-Kids. So many things I want to use. I have come to realize that two of my G-kids are now teenagers. Five live on the other side of the US. One of my G-Sons here has been told one more year. Then you are to old to go Trick or Treat. Great that leaves me with only TWO.One of them went with other friends and of course few pictures were taken. The last and only source did get some. But I have still to see them!!!! Makes me real scared for x-mas!!!!



I have been given a couple awards. I've been thinking about them, Trying to figure out who to give them too. First came from Vanessa. I know her from SBM. She is great and a true friend. You really must stop by and see some of her wonderful creations.










It's the Proximdade award. As many us know, It,s also called the Friendship around the World award. Coming from Spanish history this award It is to be given to blogs that are special and pleasing.





I would like to pass this award on to the following blogs.






These next ones are going to the Reading world.

Lilac Whisper



Carol Burs has come up with a new kit called Lilac Whisper. It can be found here at Magical Scraps . http://magickalscraps.com/Shop/index.php


main_page=product_info&cPath=1_35_36&products_id=91 I had a blast working with this kit. I was working on my first page of it. My Grandson Michael , his older brother, and my son came in the door. It took Michael about three seconds to realize what I was doing, and up on the chair he is to help me. Michael has just lost his two front teeth. Hes so cute with those gone. Me Drama, yep I'm Drama to Michael. Do me Please. He picked out the picture of himself , the white ribbons and where they went. The tag, spelled his name for me and how old he was. Also picked the blue bow along with where its suppose to go. Puts his hands up and says Done.














This is the second time he has helped me make a layout. He knows where to go and what to do already. Here is what we came up with.






Next we have a couple other pages that were made using the same kit. My helper of course had gone home by now , sound asleep . Who knows he could have been dreaming about getting his two front teeth for x-mas !





Grandaughters Jackie , and Angel seems to just fit this layout, These two have a very strong bond between them. They have had a lot to deal with in their short lives. Sisters in ever sense of the word.





While I was still working at Wal-Mart, I got to train Rachel in working in our Dept. She learned fast, and had things figured out so good. No wonder I taught her. LOL Well she went on to take over cosmetics, and is now in Electronics. I stoped the other day and asked if I could borrow a few pix of her little girl. Oh my havent seen her smile that big in a while. Even gonna get some new ones up for me to take a look at, I can borrow them also.

New Places and Avatars



Been doing some looking around again. I found a picture at Photobucket that I just fell in Love with. Saved it. OOOh gee that was months ago. Well I put it to use just a few days go. I found a new Place that I just Love .. Been busy making pages free freebies on the forum. Some of these Ladys Just Rock your world when it comes to Scrapbooking. This is just one of the pages I have made so far.









With Halloween coming this Grandma has taken the good fortune she just found and got some pages for Halloween Done and waiting. Grandsons were here the other day. I got lots of pictures. A request wad also filed with my son for pix from Halloween.






Would you believe it .I now get to CT for the sites store. YES



Thanks so much Snowraven & Edna !


This was my first Template Challenge .











Come and join us at Magickal Scraps .

Just like me I jumped in with both feet. By accident I did as many layouts as possible as soon as possible. I looked and looked if I could get my hands on it . It got done. I may have stepped on someones toes. If I did . Didn't mean to sorry. My Bad !!

I now have another Avatar also. Clippers is the name. If I were to get another new Tattoo this would be it .

Just checking in



Have been a little busy the last few weeks. I got a huge dumptruck load of Dirt. Have been filling in all the holes in the back yard that are just big enough to twist your ankle. Plus a few that are even bigger than that. Lots of fun. Then in spring throw grass seed on it. Also have been working on the flower beds getting ready for next year.


Found a new picture of Jackie on her page the other day. Of course I stole it. Grandmas are allowed to do that.


This ia what I came up with. It seems to make her look much older. I Love it . She really is a special girl who has been thru so much. The oldest of the Grandchildren. How she use to laugh when Grandma would tell her one of those crazy fairy tales. She and her sister got to live with us last year for a while. I Loves it. Got a chance to really get to know my Grandaughters. Picture below is of her also on her fathers motorcycle.

More

Its been a few days. Time to get a little more on here. Last couple days have been filled with shoveling dirt. Our yard has got so many little holes in it. You know what I mean. Just the correct size to turn your ankle in. Well not now. Its been a job and a half but well worth it. Really could use another dump truck full of dirt to finish it off. But no not now maybe in the spring. See first how we do for flooding next year.


Have gotten a few more pages done. I use Scrapbook Max , Love the program, its so easy to understand and can do so many things with it. You can get a FREE TRIAL , good for 30 days to see what you think of it. The forum for the program is also the best place to belong. So many wonderful Lady's who are just the best. See link on side of page.






This page was just done for fun. Shows some of the flowers in my yard. I spend lots of time outside in the spring ,summer and fall. Have even taken a couple lazy days and just sat outside and read on a book.











This page was a kit from MH51 at SBM she



also goes by Mary . Both my Son and his Daughter Sarita have Birthdays in Aug. They had taken a ride down to the Snake River,where this picture was taken. Mom just happen to catch both of them in the same picture. Gee as Sarita calls me had to make them this.








Mary has a wonderful Blog and a link on the right side of the page. She has got to be one of the most giving lady's at SBM. Love her stuff .












Baby A is what she goes by on her MySpace page. Got to come up this July for two weeks. She was gone one day with friends. I did some digging around in old pix and found this one. She tries to be so though on the outside. My page I made as a joke for her she loved. I guess I should have known it would work out that way.

Just me

I started Digital Scrapbooking about a year ago. It has brought lots of fun,and new friends into my life. On my blog you will find,some of the pages I've made. Links to places I go to find things. Remarks about the scrapbooking program I use. I hope you enjoy this blog.Come back often .

My Grandaughters were living with us last year for a while. One day while out we stoped at a Scrapbooking store just to look around. The huge amount of things to buy to get started was more than I wanted to deal with. That evening I did a Google search,to my surprise I found that this could be done on the computer. Having lots of old pictures,and lots of time on my hands why not give it a try. Little did I know at the time I was creating a new monster in my life. Six months later a new lap top, new camera, new scanner, faster internet connection. I'm having more fun than I ever thought possible. Now its been about a year and I find myself learning about Blogs. Who knows what is next?
