A really quick post before I go to work... Twila and I will be leaving in the early AM to go to Charleston so I can have my lung tests done, I dread the tests because they take a lot out of me but I haven't been to the beach since Gina's 18th birthday, I don't think, so I am looking forward to that.

3S is closing and it really depressed me to know all my 1800 pages are going into cyberspace, I thought it would always be around so Charli could look at what I did! There were 2 main sites I used and the other Crashed! I am very bummed.

Off to work...

We have a wonderful new desigher Farrah at 3S who created this wonderful kit Glitter Baby and she actually is giving it away! Here's the link http://www.3scrapateers.com/gallerypp/showphoto.php/photo/96194/cat/all/limit/last1
please leave her a little love because it's a gorgeous kit!

A perfect page

I saw this quote as I was looking at pages today and since I was doing Kimmi's new kit, OUT OF THIS WORLD which is the SAD this time I thought "I bet I can use the deep textured paper with the bows and sequins and make a great page... Here's what I came up with. I want to print it and give to Gina for Christmas.
I think it's a near perfect page if I say so myself, I love the photo, quote, textures and the touch of sparkle!
I am so thankful I got to play with the kit and put some other pages in my gallery

This photo reminds me of one I took of Gina when she was a baby! Charli was in a great mood and let me snap away! I hope she keep it up!

Les's hand is better today, I don't know how long it will last though...

The Tams in town

We are so lucky to have a town that has free concerts every week in summer, tonight was the last and we had the Tams, what a concert! The original co-founder Charles Pope was there and he is 72! Here is link to their site... http://www.thetams.com/thetamshome.html If you ever get to see them please do!

PHOTO SHOOT

I JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS PHOTO I TOOK TODAY OF MY CHARLI...

I guess I spoke too soon about Les's hand... he was sick last night and had to go back to Dr and get more Prednisone, well, I guess we will always be Dr poor!
This is a picture of Charli playing with her baby.

It's 2:43 AM and I am up not feeling very well, I think it was the hot dog I ate!
Any way I am trying to use my talents to make extra money and so I did the pictures for Ryan's Birthday, I made this page for the front of his book using the 3S Blog Train kit Jellybeans and Birthday Cake with the words by Miss Mint from Party Pants. I realy love the way it turned out!
I really enjoy ging to the kids parties! It's like each one is a family member! Before they take their naps I say "I love you!' and they say it back... I can't wait until Charli says that!

I just realized I haven't blogged this week. I have been trying to stay ahead on posting at 3S so when I go to Charleston I can be worry free, LOL! I have done many challenges at SOTB this week including this one using Deanna Patterson's Glorious Fall. I an so blessed to do kits for the 3S designers!

My MIL when to hospital last night because she passed out, she has bad kidney infection and was dehydrated, Les is on the road to getting better but is far from well, Charli is doing great, I am still waiting for that other tooth, Seth has both bottom ones.

Well, that's that, oh, I decided to do bragbooks and Christmas cards for others and several people want them! This should be a great way to make extra money!

I love this picture Trey took of Charli and Me! I used two of my older Halloween kits, Witches Brew by April Staker and Spooktacular by Osten Wilkens, the stitching is by Kimmi Stewart. she was so sweet as she sat there nodding off!

Ivan Parker Concert

Just a quick note, Went to see Ivan Parker in concert with friends from church tonight, I really didn't want to go as this isn't the typical things I listen to But had a great time, he has a wonderful voice!
Les is still battling Gout and Dr wants him to stay out of work 2 days while he is taking powerful meds, I know know how he has worked with his hands swollen as it is.

Scrapture Posting

I am happy to say that I am keeping Charli while Gina is going out for her Birthday so this is a quicky. This is my posting bonus for my Scrapture Challenge at 3S, it's the HnH kit called Just Peachy by Carla Ware and it's HERE I hope you will take a look!

Just thought this was so cute!

Ryan wanted to sit up today at naptime and so I left him alone and just watched, he started falling asleep sitting up then laid down and took his nap. It was even cuter because his hair wouldn't lay down! Charli was Really glad to see me yesterday and today! She didn't want me to put her down today.

George, my FIL, is back in the hospital again with lung problems. Also still no address from Jeremy!

I love this OH SPOTS kit from kimmi Stewart! I added the flowers, charm and pin frpm other kits to add something extra special for my Scrapture Challenge entry! My grandmother is a fine Christian! As a child I saw her write her tithes check on Friday and place it on her dresser to take Sunday. She reads her Bible and other study books which she often shares with me! I hope I can be a good example to my grandchildren!

Upcoming S.A.D kit

This is made with a great kit called Summer Treats by Cathy Krenek I had a ball playing with it! This is Charli eating a banana with one of those things so a baby doesn't choke, she got all sticky but really enjoyed it! I can't wait to see her Tuesday, she went to the beach for the week end. She is pulling to stand so I expect her to walk soon! She was 8 months old yesterday!

I snapped this 2 weeks ago while I was doing Jessica's wedding shots,aren't the eyes cool?

My baby is at the beach in Charleston and I hope Gina and Sissy are getting great pictures! Today is Mama's birthday, she went with them and so did Susan, I know they will have a good time! It is starting to cool down and we have had a good little bit of rain lately, I so look foward to fall!

Off to work now to play with the babies!

Ryan

WHEN I TELL PEOPLE THAT I TEACH 6 ONE-YEAR OLDS THEY LAUGH AND SAY "THAT MUST BE ROUGH!"

THIS IS RYAN, MY ONLY LITTLE BOY RIGHT NOW, THESE KIDS ARE ALL SO SWEET! I RARELY HAVE TO USE TIME OUTS AND THEY PLAY SO WELL TOGETHER. I GUESS IT'S LIKE HAVING EXTRA GRANDKIDS!

ANYWAY THIS WAS ALSO DONE WITH KIMMI'S AUTUMN BLESSINGS KIT AND LINK IS IN LAST POST, I THINK, THIS WAS FOR THE ONE LETTER CHALLENGE.

I removed the Blog Train links but left the Bragbook pages if you still want them, it was a fun celebration and thrilled me to make it to the Digi Freebies site!

These pages are of Charli tasting real corn and potatoes, she doesn't seem to like them but ate some anyway, Gina is a good cook and I loved them, LOL!

These are made with Kimmi's new Autumn Blessings Kit and it's on sale because it's the Half N Half kit!

While you are here check the Sept 5 Post for your Blog Train

Grandmama is doing Great!

My Grandmother, who is 90, went through her mastecotomy with out any problems! She said that there were Lots of prayers going up for her that helped her. When I sat with her yesterday she was laughing, eating candy and she even had Mama fix her hair and put on lipstick! How Blessed I am with her genes!
My PI2000 program has been acting out so I have not got to do any pages but I reloaded it and hope to scrap later today!
