Long Time Since I've Blogged

It's been ages since I've blogged...Things were quite hectic...When I retired a year ago, I knew what I wanted to do with my time, at least for the first year...I wanted to do exactly as I pleased, when I pleased, and definitely spend a summer with my grandchildren...And believe me, I've done just that...I think they were with me more than they were home and although it was hectic and crazy at times, I certainly enjoyed myself...They're all doing so great with their scrappin...As a matter of fact they can blend better than I can with the Prizma Pencils & the Odorless Mineral Spirits...They colored in several stamped flower images and a friend of mine bought them all...The girls were so excited...They didn't make a killing but to them, it was a million bucks...

I've been busy scrapping myself...trying to get away from my structured look...Great place to do that is over at http://www.allmomentsremembered.com/, you can't beat the friends you make and the challenges are awesome...While I don't always do all the challenges the ones that I do, certainly help me go out of my comfort zone...They usually have an online crop around the first of the month too...While you're at, take time to stop in the store and see all what Stacey has to offer...I believe she'll be coming out with the September Kits...You won't want to miss out on that, and they definitely go fast...

Another thing I need to catch up on is my digi scrapping...I've got scads of tutorials to go through...It's all most like there's no time in the day or night to do it all, but I'm sure trying...

I have a friend that I met at Cord Camera coming over tomorrow for a "scrappy" good time...She'll be here at 10:00 AM and I'm sure we'll be at it all morning, afternoon, and who knows maybe into the evening...told her she's welcome to stay for as long as she wants and we'll just veg out and scrap...

I'll be posting some links to some tutorials in the next day or so, so hope you'll stop back and take a look...Enjoy you evening and thanks for stopping in...

I've got MUSIC...

I finally joined the majority and added a play list on my blog...Kind of a variety of songs...just a few to get me started...A big thanks to Nicole at www.allmomentsremembered.com for her help on adding this to my blog...

Hope you enjoy the songs...

It's Been Ages...

Planning posting some tutorials tomorrow after doing some yard work...

All cards were made using left over scraps..

This was my favorite of the bunch


Generic birthday card as you can see...

I liked both of these cards, but I thought the thank you one needed something else, so I added a button flower on it...

There was a challenge to use ugly paper either in a card or a layout at AMR...this was my ugle paper and I made the card beneath it...

since I've updated...Things have been hectic...weather has been lousy...Finally made it out to the camper for a nice long weekend plus...Weather wasn't the greatest on Monday, but Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were sunny with wind...The campfire was great and we even had all the makings for the smores...My oldest DD has a new way of making them...well at least new to me...Reese Peanut Butter Cup, the cooked marshmallow, and of course the graham cracker...mmmmmm mmmmmmmmmmm good...Park wasn't as busy as it has been in the past...I'm sure the high gas prices might have put the damper on things for a lot of campers...

This week is full with standard yearly doctor's appointments and Thursday evening I have a school board meeting...Hoping to get my flowers planted tomorrow...supposed to be sunny and around 62...Been working on cards more than anything...plus I have a few tutorials that I can post...so I'm off to upload somethings for your pleasure...Have a great evening and a wonderful week...

AMR Reminder: They are having their June online crop on the 5th of the month...If you've never visited please stop by for an afternoon evening of fun, challenges, and good company...lots of RAKs will be given away to some lucky people...If you've been to one of their crops, hope to see you back again...While your are it, don't forget to check out the AMR store...Stacey the owner has some great stuff with reasonable shipping charges and a fast turn around...
