'Tis the Season for JOY!

I have not been blogging much at all this year.  I hope this will change in the new year to come.  But as always, "TIME TELLS ALL STORIES!"

In the meantime, here are a few layouts I have completed this past weekend.

We are ready for Christmas here in Kentucky.  We will travel to Georgia within the week for more CHRISTMAS MERRY with family.

I hope you are having a creative and festive Holiday Season.

Until next time...

It's FALL Y'ALL!

And...that means FOOTBALL and Post Season Baseball!

Yes, it is a good time of the year.  However, I always mourn the end of Summer.

Lots happening in our neck of the woods.  

Volleyball, Beta Club, Rockettes, Leader In Me, & Glee Club.

Brianna is a busy girl.  Tomorrow, she turns 11 years old.  Wow, where did the time go?

Please take a few moments and look at the Wedding Gallery of Stephen and Katie.

It was a grand time had by all!

I know..."Where have I been?"

We have just had a crazy summer.  Summer camps, vacation, and preparing for my son's wedding.  He and his wife were married on August 10th.  It was a great evening.  Shortly thereafter, I had major surgery and I am still recovering but getting my strength back and ready for some Fall scrapping.

I am excited to be going with a group of friends in a few weeks for nothing but scrapbooking.  Our Fall is pretty booked with all of Brianna's activities and house projects for me.  

Football of course, dominates our weekends right now.  

I hope to be more active blogging once I get my new schedule under wraps.

Until next time, here are a few layouts I have recently completed.

See you next time and until then, enjoy the last few days of SUMMER!

Long time no SCRAP!

This is not the case for today!

So, I have been scrapping since 9:00 AM this morning.

Reliving the summertime from last year when we went to Perdido Key and a few extra memories.

Feels good to play with paper and record memories.

Our Summer thus far has been very busy. 

Wedding Rehearsal Dinner preparations, vacation, pool time, & rescheduling activities due to the crazy rain this year.  Brianna is in her first week of camp and then she has a turn around to attend a Creative Arts camp next week.  I love SUMMER.  It just never lasts long enough for me.

Until next time, ENJOY THE SUMMER!

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!
