Frozen

Good morning!  Hope you had a lovely Memorial Day weekend.  Here's another layout I designed for A Scrap in Time in Crestview, Florida last time I was there. I just love this movie!
 

Andrew went to one of his friend's birthday party and the theme was Frozen.  Since he has seen the movie, he recognized everyone. He loved it!

 
He especially loved Olaf the snowman!

Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day, the one day of the year where we honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their nation, so that the rest of us can live in freedom.  Let's never lose sight of that.

Bubble Bath and PJ Party

Happy Tuesday!  Today's layouts bring so many beautiful memories of our kids.  They LOVED to take baths.  There were always soap crayons and loads of toys in the tub.  Well, their children are the same!  Bath time is party time.  Even baby Carolina loves to kick and splash!
 

 
There were also loads of pajama parties and sleepovers.  Since our grandkids are still young, the sleepovers are at out house.  My husband and I even have matching "Cookie Monster" jammies for the occasion.
 
 
We love to dress Andrew and Carolina in their matching jammies as well. They look soooo cute!
 
 
I designed both layouts for A Scrap in Time last time I was there. Thank you for stopping by and for all your kind and loving words. It makes me very happy to know that people out there are inspired by my layouts and the story of my life one day at a time. Have a fabulous and blessed day!

Mermaid and Some Beach/Somewhere

Good morning!  Here are a couple of layouts I designed for A Scrap in Time, both in an oceanside theme.  This first one uses the Sea Sally mermaid from Julie Nutting.  I used Crystal Effects for her outfit.
 

And this one is made with new Graphic 45 papers.


After making these layouts I realized that I had no pictures for it so my friend Peggy and I got into the car and drove to the coast to take some.


We even found a mermaid to pose with!


Well thanks again for stopping by.  Have a terrific and blessed day and a safe weekend!

I Love Cats and Dogs (and Rabbits)

Good morning! I designed the first two layouts here for A Scrap in Time the last time I was there.  They are titled "Bark" and "Meow".  I'll bet you can guess what kind of pet lovers would be interested in these!


 
 And this is one I made this one for a very special friend who adores her kitty cat.
 
 
And here is Andrew having a visit with a very special friend, Bambi the rabbit!
 

I hope you do not tire of my grandchildren's pictures! This blog is one of my therapies and I consider it my personal scrapbooking diary. Thank you for stopping by and for those of you who take the time to leave a comment. Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Memories

Good morning!  I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend and an especially great Mother's Day.

Here's a layout that I made titled Memories.  I love this title because memories is the reason that we scrap.
 
 
Here are some recent precious moments that I would like to share with you.  The first one is my niece from Italy with here beautiful 3-year-old daughter enjoying ice cream.

 
And this is our little Andrew enjoying some himself.
 
 
And Carolina is actually too young for ice cream, but I needed to include a picture so that she doesn't feel excluded.
 
 
Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I'm looking forward to a wonderful and blessed week and I wish the same for you!

Baby Shower, Grandkids and Little Boys

Happy Friday!  Wow ... another week that just flew by!  Today's layouts are all about babies in one way or another.  It must be my "grandmother" heart.

Here's a baby shower layout that can be used with either a boy or a girl.
 

This one is specifically for grandchildren; for me the joy of my life.


And this last one is "little boy" masculine with airplanes and a helicopter.


Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful, fun, safe, and blessed weekend!

Firefighters and Nurses Layouts

Good morning!  From time to time I get asked to do occupational layouts.  Here are a couple I did recently.  This first one is about firefighters, those gallant men and women who all children (at one time in their life) aspired to be one day!
 

This next one is about nurses.  With all of my recent surgeries, I've got a renewed respect for these folks.  At any time of night or day, there are nurses taking care of their patients every need.  Got to love 'em.


Well thanks once again for visiting my blog.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Summer is Almost Here!

Good morning!  Well, it's never too early to start getting ready for someplace to put all of those great Summer photos.  Here are three Summer layouts that I hope will inspire you!
 



It's already been warm here in North Central Florida.  In fact, the other day we took Andrew and Carolina to the local water park and even though the water was still cold, Andrew ran around from one fountain ...


... to the next and had a blast ...
 

... while Carolina sunbathed on my lap!
