Easter 2004 LO

Since I have a problem getting things to go together and placement of things, I've been trying a new tactic...For right now, it seems it's working well for me...I've been doing the actual LO and then search for pictures to compliment it...I have been working from page maps so that has also helped...Here's another LO that I did that way...Thanks for looking...

Been Ages...

It's definitely been ages since I've posted...not because I didn't want to, but it's been busy around my place...Seems like I have less time since I retired than I had when I was working...or maybe because I'm doing more fun things than I did before...along with just moving at a slower pace...realizing that there's no deadline for most things...and the things there are, I just fit into my schedule accordingly...the rest of the stuff I find myself just taking my good old time and enjoying what I'm doing...I finally was able to make it to a pre school program for my grandson...he looked so cute...can't believe that he'll be in school come next August...He's also a great age for Santa's visit...looking forward to that too...I missed alot of things with the other grand kids but I also got to see alot...It's fun watching them grow and try different things...I took them all to the dollar store this past weekend and let them shop...The each had 7 people to buy for...They did good picking out stuff...and not once did they try to pick something up for themselves...Once we were done, we brought all our stuff home and they got everything wrapped and under the tree...Kayla, Taylor, and George did a fantastic job on the tree in the basement...Syd was being kinda lazy and Elle wasn't feeling quite up to par...Kayla helped me finish the Christmas cards and the others did some coloring in of some stamped images...So I'm a few steps ahead of the game for next year...Not too much in the plans for the next couple of days so I'm hoping to get in some scrapping...

There's a great challenge going on over at www.scrapadilly.com for the 12 Days of Christmas...If you're not too busy, stop on over, sign up, and join the fun...

Well I'm going to try and print out some pictures for a LO, so hopefully I'll be posting more often as the holidays wind down...

Have a wonderful weekend and stay safe...

Happy Birthday Elaine

I hope you will all join me in wishing "Elaine" a Happy Birthday today...I met Elaine several years ago on a Grief Recovery web site...It's amazing how that meeting ha helped us both in our grieving process...She has become one of my "bestest friends" through the years and I hope she knows that...She has a heart of gold and has always been there no matter what...Of course she's easy to trick and I can rile her up in a flash...And sometimes I end up telling her just how it is, and that sometimes I'm not very nice in how I tell her things, but I hope she knows that if I didn't care about her as a person, I wouldn't say anything...There's so much more I could tell you about her, but she's private person who doesn't like a lot of hoop da la about her, so with that said, the last thing I will say "is enjoy your special day, my special friend and thanks for always being there."
