Hello, It's Me!

Not sure why, but I have "Just Remember I love You" by Firefall.

Crazy how songs can pop into one's brain and it goes on forever it seems.

So, I put it on through Pandora and maybe another song will soon be stuck.

We listened to Pandora while scrapping this past Saturday at Broadway United Methodist Church.

We were all very productive and we jammed to some awesome sounds of the 1970's.

Reliving our childhood.

This is why I love scrapping the "everyday" pictures.  Not just special events or holidays.

When I am old and my memory fades away, my SCRAPBOOKS are my NOTEBOOKS.

If you have seen The Notebook, then you understand what I am talking about.

So, here are a few of my moments I would like to share with you.

8 days of school left for Brianna and then we can begin our SUMMER FUN!

Our summer is packed with vacation at the beach, wedding fun, art classes, and two weeks at camp!

This will be the summer that will be recorded for sure.

It will live not only in our memories, but will be scrapped for future days to reflect upon.

Happy Tuesday!

Sunny Today, Finally!

May 7th and there is still a nip in the air.  I have yet to put away sweaters as we are still wearing them when the weather is not so warm.  Wow, this time last year we were already wearing shorts on a daily basis.

It has been so gloomy and rainy.  

dreaming...

In one month, WE WILL  BE ON THE BEACH!

But, I still manage to get my scrap on.

Here are a few layouts that I have recently completed.  

Using up my scraps that are on my table.

So, for now.

Happy Spring and Happy Scrapping!

Finally, Spring Weather...

I have not been active on my blog lately, simply because I have been busy with different activities.

Volleyball is big right now for us along with working in the yards and enjoying family time with cooking out and playing yard games such as Cornhole/Rathole. 

 I recently went on a scrapbooking retreat at The Narrow Way Bed and Breakfast 

 with Sisterhood of Embroidery and Scrapbooking.  

They are loads of fun and I plan on hanging with these creative ladies more often.

This was my fourth month this year visiting Roger and Karen at "The Narrows," as we call it.

I have had a great time each and every month, too.

Here are a few of my latest scrapbook pages.  

I am currently making cards and doing a great deal of stamping and embossing.

I will be sharing those at a later date.

 We are anxious for SUMMER BREAK!  

Only 7 weeks until we head to the beach for a week of fun.

This summer will be full of all kinds of excitement.

Until next time, HAPPY SPRING!

 

NEVER-Ending Winter!

  I woke up Palm Sunday watched the Papal Mass on television and my head just busted loose with overwhelming dread.  Yep, a Head cold.  I have not had one of these in over a decade.

I blame it on the NEVER-ENDING WINTER!

I did scrap on Saturday and would have continued to scrap but felt the scratchy throat begin.

Sneezing, aching, and well...just feeling cruddy.

Feeling like this interferes with my life and activity.

But here is a few of the pages I created on Saturday in my studio.

Easter and Spring break are just 4 days away. 

 Fingers crossed this head cold is just a "few days" affair.

Snowy, windy, SUPER COLD, & just icky outside.

WHERE IS SPRING?

The Narrow Way...

Last weekend, I packed up my car and headed Northeast to a great B & B, The Narrow Way.

I have actually spent 3 weekends there since January and plan on going again in April.

But without further ado,

here is what I created along with eating great food, fabulous conversation, and giggling!

Nothing like sharing some "down time" and creating.

So, there you go.  Just some scrappin' going on.

Winter Blahs!!!!

It is official!  I am so over Winter and her harsh, cold, wet, and dark windy days.

I long for the hot days of Summer.  I love the feel of sun on my face.  

I am looking forward to a creative retreat in a week with some of my girls at a B&B.

Pajamas, Cocktails, Scrappy Fun, Gossip, Giggles and of course, sleeping when it is time.

But until then...I will share a few photos that I took over this past Christmas Holiday.

Stephen and Katie-December 2012

 Stephen and Katie were engaged in New York City on December 14, 2012.

He proposed to her to be his wife and of course, she said yes. 

Stephen and Katie - December 2012

 The Wedding will take place in Atlanta on August 10, 2013.

We are busy planning our part as well as getting really excited about Katie becoming a vital part of our family.  She is a sweet girl and we are very happy for both of them. 

Stephen and Katie- December 2012

One day after church in December 2012, when we were celebrating our Christmas, we went and had photos taken on a foot bridge in Bowling Green.  The morning light with overcast was near perfect.

We used the family photo as part of our Happy New Year Card and on the back we announced Stephen's engagement to Kate.  They really turned out well.

The Kids -minus Lil'Zac

 Zachary and Kaleb have since moved back to Georgia and they both seem really happy.

So, it is just Brian, Brianna, and myself left here in Bowling Green.  Feels kind of weird at times.

I guess this means that we have to make more trips to Georgia to visit everyone.

Kaleb and Zachary - December 2012

 I am just a firm believer that you can take the boys out of the mountains but you cannot take the mountains out of the boys.  The connections and family back in Georgia constantly called Kaleb and Zachary.  I know they were just in Kentucky for us.  They gave it a go and they just did not find their niche.  

Zachary - December 2012

 Zachary is still trying to find his way after serving in the US Army and his tour to Iraq.

Adjustment seems to be the "norm" for our soldiers.  It is sad really when you think about it.

The Brothers - Zachary and Kaleb - December 2012

 Kaleb enjoys working for the tree service and loves working out doors.

He has a year of college under his belt and decided it was just not for him.

It takes all of us to make the world go round.  He is making his own way just fine.

Kaleb - December 2012

Brianna is in Spring Volleyball.

I am trying to get used to staying home again.  I am looking forward to warmer days and sun on my face.  Bicycle riding in the evenings.  Weekends at festivals and preparing for the impending marriage of Stephen and Katie.  It is going to prove to be a great year for sure.

Until then...this gloomy day will just have to do.
