COLD TODAY!

Kimmi has a new kit for SBE called Christmas Angels, there are 3 colors, this page of Jeremy is done with the blue one, I so love this picture! He had just turned 2 and was so happy and funny!
Jamie and I tried doing our crafts at the Jockey Lot today, it was so cold! 22 degrees when I got there, I only sold 4 angels for the missions project and she didn't even make the $9 we had to pay for the space! Last week she at least made $12! I guess no one is buying much!

A quick note to say Happy Birthday to my best friend Leigh Ann!

Yesterday was my SIL's birthday and my nephew is now in the army! I think he will be in Texas.

It is really getting Cold here now, beginning to feel like Christmas!

Time Flies!

Wow, time is whizzing by! My sisters and I did a craft show and sat in the cold wind and it was a flop! At least we had a good time together and I got to meet Twila's friend Nora and Lori and Kelly from Abbeville who did the show, too!

Well this page is done for a SOTB challenge on someone grateful for you, it was a No Brainer for me, LOL! This kit by Cathy K came out at the Perfect Time! It is called Festive Fall and was released at SBE yesterday!

I sent out jeremy's 'sugar fix' Friday, I hope he lets me know when he gets it!

I am so happy that Rina and Kimmi asked me to join them at SBE! I will be doing the Scrapture Challenge there as an assistant, I can already see it is going to be time intensive reading the emails, LOL! I think it's so cool that so many have downloaded my Word Art! 98 so far! I will have to create more I guess!
This page was created used 3S things...
Fall Harvest (leaves, ribbon, flower) and mesh element by Carla Ware Autumn Glitter by Lianne Carper and Paper is from Serendipity by Monna Lainson

It was Layout of Day at 3S.
Well of to work and later to see Charli!

Free Word Art

I made this page for a challenge at SOTB using the photo Sarah Kendall provided, The kit is from the Give Thanks Blog Train I found at Assie Scraps Blog and a free overlay from E-lena Designs Blog, Raffia Heart from Kim B and paper dolls from Gina Huff at W&W. If you want the word art I made you are welcome to it... http://www.4shared.com/file/70309598/797147d8/Word_Art_Wagon.html
The picture is from the early 70's of my sisiter Twila and brother Jeff and I at Easter. I couldn't find a good picture with a wagon or a good quote so this is what I came up with.
Thanks to all the artists that post Blog Freebies! I hope YOU always remember to leave a simple Thank You, they sure deserve it for all the time they use to make them for us!
OH, and this is my 100th post!

Charli's Costume

Charli was a Strawberry last night and was so CUTE! She was glad to see me and whined when Gina tried to take her so I could snap her picture. She didn't even look at Gina when she tried to take her picture...that's Meme's Doodlebug!

WHAT A WONDERFUL GREETING I GOT FROM CHARLI YESTERDAY! SHE CAME RIGHT TO ME AND GAVE ME ONE OF THOUGH SLOPPY OPEN MOUTHED KISSES SHE HANDS OUT WHEN SHE FEELS LIKE IT AND WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE ME! I MISSED HER, TOO, 6 DAYS IS A LONG TIME, LOL! HERE SHE IS WATCHING YO GABABBA GABBA IN HER FOOFA PJ'S, SHE LOVES THAT SHOW! I AM GOING TO GO TOY SHOPPING AND FIND HER A FOOFLA DOLL!
JEREMY EMAILED ME, HE WANTS CANDY! I AM GOING TO GET HIM A CHRISTMAS PACKAGE UP TO SEND, HE ALSO WANTS MAGAZINES THAT HAVE PICTURES FOR HIS COLLAGE WORK.
WELL OFF TO WORK I GO!

Sharing Beach Pictures

Here are some shots from the beach this past week end, this is my nephew Cody, he didn't know I was taking photos Or he didn't care, it was taken at Huntington State Park the birds were on the beach near our hotel.

Got home to Great News! 3S is not closing the gallery! Whoo-hoo! Had a wonderful weekend at the beach, the Dr says that my lungs are not as bad as they had thought but wants me on a powerful med and extra sinus and heart burn meds, that is going to put me at 8 or 9 pills a day (I will have to take a antibiotic 3 days a week to avoid infections while I am on the new med) Well, maybe I won't cough so much...

I'll post some pictures later from the beach!

BTW, thanks, Twila and Keith for the trip. I love you! You too, cody!

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.
