Boat People

Well, thats what I call them, and they are the dearest folks! They were nice enough to allow me and my family to stalk their home, the "Patricia Ann." Yes, it's a boat, and a very beautiful one at that! I could have kicked myself for not taking photos of the boat, but here is a layout using the two photos I DID take.



Someday, when Glen and I get all these birds flying on their own, we'll be living on our very own "Little Miss Magic." Seven years and counting... :-D

Jingle Bells Time!!

There's nothing like a challenging crop to get your creative juices flowing, just in time for the holidays! I hope you'll join me on Feeling Scrappy on November 30th! You should see the amazing prizes that will be given away! Well, here, let me just show ya!







I hope you'll join me and my friends for a day of fun! And no worries! If you can't call in sick to work, you'll have all weekend to complete the challenges for prizes. But I'd way rather see you there! :-)

Happy Veterans Day

A friend of mine shared this video on her blog and I thought it was very fitting on this special day. For anyone reading, I'd like to thank your loved ones for their service!

The only thing worse than having kids old enough to trick or treat is having kids who are too old to trick or treat but then insist on trick or treating at the last minute. Hmphf. (Have I mentioned how much I detest Halloween?) My girls dug out dance costumes from last year. Caitlyn was a fairy (duh!) and Peyton was Betty Rubble. (LOL)

Oh well, who am I to say no, especially if it means a layout in the making! :-) Happy Halloween!

New Design Team on Feeling Scrappy!

Oh, how Jayne and I hate choosing new design team members! It's always SO hard, the talent is immense out there! But, choose a new team we did. Niki and Bethany did Feeling Scrappy proud; they are both extremely talented and inspired our members. We will miss them! But our new team will give them a run for their money! Andrea and Stacey have been constant inspirations on the board and in class. Here is just one example... Stacey posted this layout on her blog and I loved it right away!

Here is my scraplift...




I was happy with this particular lift, although the preceeding one didn't go as well. It's not that the inspiration wasn't there; it certainly was, which is what made me attempt it. Such is the life of a lifter! LOL

I do hope that y'all will come by and welcome our new team! They really are amazing women! Good luck ladies. Inspire on! :-)
