Friday Gratitude Post

Here is last Friday's post. You have no idea how many times I have tried to get a picture of a rainbow!  Either I didn't have my camera, or I had to go and get it and by the time I got back it had faded. This was perfect and another check on my "bucket list".  Sorry about the late post as I was going out of town and didn't get a chance to get it up. 

     

And...here is this weeks post! I had a wonderful time and all of the ladies were so kind and generous at this crop. Especially the store's owner, Jo  She is so full of enthusiasm and has a wonderful nack for teaching.  I picked up many new techniques that I can't wait to try again on my own. Did I mention that I just love making new friends? Thanks Tami for a great weekend and it was sooo....good to see you again!



Title Page Number 4!

Title Page #4!!  The title page for the Corkery Family Album.  I thought that this was going to be my last album title page...but the idea of scrapbooking my descendants is still calling me.  So... just when I think that I have enough albums, it seems like I need one more.  I am using the Ancestry.com albums that K & Co. is making.  They are a beautiful brown leather look. Embossed of course...make it even richer looking if that is possible. So, I just happened to find some more cool paper at The Paper Loft and of course it just happened to be heritage...Oh darn!!  That order button was pressed before I even know what happened! As soon as it comes in I will share it with you. Can't wait! Until then.....

Gratitude Friday on Saturday!

 ***Each Friday's post is part of my 2010 gratitude project, an effort to be more aware of and grateful for the blessings in my life.

3 Heritage Title Pages Done!

The Fettkether Family Heritage Album (Greg's side)

The Hare Family Heritage Album (My side)

                The King Family Heritage Album (My side)

I have been working really hard this past week to complete these

three Heritage Album title pages.  I still have the Corkery title page

left to do.  Rest assured that it is in the works!  I will still have

something to work on at Heritage Club on Wednesday night.

I have been adding some paper quilling to some of these and I

think that I am hooked.  Oh no,  a new addiction! 

I knew thatit would be nearly impossible to complete 4 pages

that night, so I worked to get at least 3 of them done. I wanted to

 have a permanant place to put my layouts as I made them so

 that they would stay nice.  Hope you enjoy these.  Any

 questions...feel free to leave a comment or email me!

A Milestone!

Obviously it's Sunday and I am finding sometime to get caught up on some of the posts that I have been wanting to do.  I just looked at the visitor counter today and it's over 100 visitors with my first official follower!  Yay!! I was beginning to think that I was just talking to myself, but eviedently some of you are joining me!  Thanks!! I love company!

Gratitude Friday

Each Friday's post will be part of my 2010 gratitude project, an effort to be more aware of and grateful for the blessings in my life. Okay, I know, it's not officially Friday, but this would have been Friday's post if I could have figured out how to run my Photoshop Elements 8 in time!  It's also an effort to keep up and learn more on the "Digi" part of scrap booking.  I wish I would have started this in January but I will just go from September 2010 to September 2011.  I want to print each of these out in a 4x6 format and put them in a mini album.   Still working on my Inventory album.  It is coming along nicely.  Too bad I have to work.....I could just stay in this little scrapbooking room all day! I am also posting a picture of another thing checked off of my list for this week. With the help of one my daughters...Melissa...my word art if finally up! (Her idea to put it on the door of course...she is so wonderfully creative) It is a  rub-on that I have had for over two years! Good thing I procrastinated on putting it up or it would have ended up in my sewing room!
