Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving my friends!  I hope your surrounded by family and friends!  This year is a quiet one for us.  All of our grown children are elsewhere this holiday so we will be eating out.  Then having a relaxing day at home.  I have chosen to look toward the positive and realize that this will be more and more the norm as our children are getting married. 

Have a Blessed Day!

You Did It!...

Hi Friends!  Wow where has this month gone???  I have been so busy taking care of family, church happenings and giving my scraproom a makeover, that the month has slipped by.  My hubby and I celebrated our 30th anniversary this week!  I can't believe that either...he's my high school sweetheart, my middle school crush!!!
I'm very excited and honored to be GDT @ Stick it Down for the last challenge of the month.  You will have until December 1 to get those entries in!  It's a 2 page layout but you know the drill you can do one side or the other.  I really hope you'll find time to fit it in your busy schedule to play along.

Fish Stories Told Here...

Hi Friends!  Thinking of  you all up north and the snow a lot of you have been receiving.  We are due to have a hard freeze here in South Florida this week.  At least it warms up though so I'm not complaining.
For my layout I chose a sketch by Scrap Much?!.  The layout  features my Dad and Hubby.

Coming Soon...

Hi Friends!  So happy to share my latest layout with for the challenge @ Colorful Creations.  The challenge is not only a color challenge but a sketch challenge too!  The reason I was excited about my layout is I have been wanting to scrap this picture for a long time.  I wanted to use the Cricut Cartridge 9 months on my page.  My picture is over two years ago and my precious little grandson will be 3 in May.  Wow time sure does fly!


As you can see I flipped the sketch.





I focused on the blue, yellow and gray and whites.

Playtime...

Hi Friends!  I have another layout to share with you of my precious grandson and his little friend.  I can't believe it's been 4 years since then...time sure flies!  I used the cutest stack from DCWV "The Kidlet Stack".
I used a sketch from Stuck?! and combined it with a picture challenge @ Pixel and Paper which teamed up with Child's Play.  Combining them was so easy and I had the pictures already picked out so just adding the word challenge items was just about all I had to do!  Love when things just fit!!

Peace...

Hi Friends!  Here's a layout I did for the Challenge YOUrself  #11:Scrap An Affirmation.  You have to have include yourself in the layout.  I don't necessarily like to scrap a layout about myself so this was a big challenge.  I wrote small so it would be more private to myself on my page.

I Heart Autumn...

Hi Friends!  Here's a layout I did of a trip I took to Indiana in the fall.  Living in Florida we don't get to see all the beautiful leaves change.  I miss that but I didn't like having to rake them as a kid!  By the time I arrived to my mother in laws house most of the leaves had fallen and had lost those pretty colors but we enjoyed our time in the woods.
I think this is the first tie I have played along @ Stick it Down and loved doing a 2 page layout.
