We Are Blessed Together

Good morning and happy Tuesday.  I trust that you had a great Memorial Day weekend.  Here's how we finished ours.

A few blocks from our house there is a single lane dirt road.  My grandkids love to go there with my DH and go down the road to a wood bridge where they can throw rocks and things into the creek.  Since I'm feeling much better these days, I decided to go with them this time.

Here is Steve trying to keep them on the "safer" part of the bridge.  They'd much rather step from cross tie to cross tie, but this nervous grandfather worries that they'll step through.

On the way home we found a friend in the middle of the road.  It's a Florida Box Turtle.  Steve is going to build an enclosure in the yard to keep him in.  Isn't it true that the simpler things in life are the best?

That brings me to a recent layout of mine titled We Are Blessed Together.  This could not be more true

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day!

Happy Birthday, Andi!

Goof morning and happy Friday!  The weekend is finally here and it's a three day weekend at that!  And on top of that, today is my sister's birthday.  Happy Birthday, hermana!

Here is a recent layout titled "Sweet Happy Birthday".  I'm going to meet my sister in Tampa this weekend so I'm sure I'll have some pictures to scrap!

Here's a recent photo of my sister with our cousin, her daughter and two of my grand-babies.

You Did It!

Good morning and happy Thursday!  I hope that your week is going well so far as it winds down to the Memorial Day weekend.

This is also the time of the year that people are graduating.  To honor the occasion I've made this layout entitled "You Did It!".  Congratulations to all of you recent graduates out there!

Thanks for visiting today.  Have a terrific and blessed day!

Pineapple Platitudes

Good morning and happy Wednesday!  Here is a layout that I recently made featuring pineapples.  I can't explain why, but I'm loving to scrap with pineapples these days.

Here's a new motto I found:                      Be a Pineapple:

Stand Tall,

Wear a Crown,

And Be Sweet on the Inside

Turtlepus?

Good morning and happy Monday!  Welcome to a new and exciting week.

I've had one of the most delightful adventures with my daughter Valerie yesterday afternoon. She gave "us" a present for Mother's Day to go to an event called "Paint with a Twist". Well, after two hours we decided we better stick to paper crafts! Even though the class was for a turtle I ended up with an octopus! Andrew loved it since it is his favorite animal. 

Look at my turtle!!!!

Andrew was one happy little boy! Thank you for stopping by! Check out all the new kits I posted yesterday. Click on the shopping girl in the upper left andn she will take you to the KIT'S page. Have a fabulous and blessed Monday!

Prom Time

Good morning and happy Friday!  Looks like we all made it to the end of another week!

Seems like so many of my friends' children or grandchildren are attending their high school proms this time of the year.  Wow, I still have a photograph of my son with our daughter-in-law before theirs on our refrigerator.  I am so embarrassed that it's not in a scrapbook!!!

Here is a layout that I recently made for those special prom photos.  It features several different styles and colors of formal dresses for the occasion.

Thanks for visiting my blog today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day and a safe and restful weekend.

Travel Layouts

Good morning and happy Thursday!

Back in the day I used to be quite the world traveler, first as my father's daughter and then with my Study Abroad business.  These days I'm content to stay just a little closer to home and be with my family

Sea World

Good morning and happy Monday, the start of another great week.  Are you ready?

My daughter took our grandson, Andrew, to Sea World, one of his most favorite places on earth.  And since I took care of Carolina that day, he had his mother's uninterrupted attention all day.

I had some layouts that I had made while at Treasured Memories perfect for the photos his mother took.

Butterfly Kisses

Good morning and happy Friday, the end of another week!  I hope that your weekend plans include plenty of time for scrapbooking.

Here is a recent lyout of mine featuring two of my favorite embellishments, flowers and butterflies!  I'm especially liking the two-layer die-cut butterlies.

Thanks for your visit today.  Have a wonderful and blessed day and a safe and restful weekend.  We'll see you on Monday!

Happy Friends

Good morning! When I woke up this morning I couldn't believe it was Thursday already! Wow..... this week has flown, hasn't it? 
This layout has a special spot in my heart becauser it's all about "happy friends"! I have not been able to be with my "besties bees" from Alabama since February and I am missing them sooooo much! Hopefully I will get the OK from the doctor to be able to drive again next month. In case you do not know, I had my third back surgery on March 7th. They told me I will be "comfortable in my jammies at home" for at least three months. 

Have a wonderful and blessed day and enjoy today, no matter what you do or where you are!

Yee-Haw, Let's Go to the Zoo!

Athletic Layouts

Good morning and happy Tuesday!  I don't know about you, but I am surely enjoying our Spring weather these past days.  Almost makes me want to get up and run around some.  (Note that I said "almost".)

Here are a couple of recent layouts that I made for those who "almost" doesn't exist.

Ironman Competition

Good morning and happy Monday!  I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day weekend full of love.

Here is a layout that I made for a friend whose daughter recently participated in this event.  The event consists of a 1.2 mile swim followed by a 56 mile bike ride and then a 13.1 mile run for a total of 70.3 miles. Wow!  I get tired just thinking about it.  What an amazing accomplishment.

Little Boy Layouts

Good morning and happy Thursday!

Here are a couple of little boy layouts.  I wanted to paraphrase a sign that I saw the other day at Hobby Lobby; "Man Cave - Manly Men Doing Manly Things".  My DH says that it doesn't work all that well: "Boy Cave - Boyly Boys Doing Boyly Things".  I'll have to work on it.

Beach Layouts

Good morning, happy Monday and welcome to a new week!  I hope you had a great weekend.  We had wonderful weather here in North Florida.  I was invited to the beach with my daughter & family yesterday, but am not quite up to a trip that far yet.  They had a great time and came back very tired with a nice color in their cheeks.

Here are a couple of recent beach layouts.  You know, I might just dedicate this entire week to beach layouts.
