Found something

A photo and a layout. The layout is one that I loved creating, with photos of my youngest nephew. He and his older brother are staying with me 1 day a week this summer, and they are great kids :) That photo is them with my sister, Cindy, on Mother's Day this past month.

I'm guilty

of blog neglect. So sorry. I got busy on several things, and then took a short family vacation, and here it is 11 days later! I wish I could show you some K&Co sneak peeks for the CHA Summer show coming up next month...but I can't...but I think you'll love it :D And, I went to a local crop last week and made some cards and altered a couple things - that was fun. It had been a while since I'd made any cards. Otherwise, I've been kitting for my classes coming up at the Lasting Memories retreat in Danbury, CT. Looking forward to my trip there!!

Registration for Simply Southern Scrapbook in Huntsville, AL, opened this week, and I've been told that classes are selling well. That's good news for me and my fellow instructors.

Ugh, this is a boring post, isn't it? Gotta go dig and see if I have anything to share ;)

Thank you, Janet!

While visiting my friend, and scrapping cohort, Janet, last week, she snapped this photo of the girls and I. I don't get many pics of us together, so I was happy she did.

Do Not Adjust Your Television Set

Remember those testing messages? Am I dating myself? lol In any case, this photo is exactly what it is - and she cannot be my child, right? It was this, or hands in front of her face, or the back of her head. The little stinker. She's missing 3 teeth, and it makes for a snaggly smile anyway, lol.

Thank you!

Thanks to all for your vacation ideas and tips :D No decision made, but at least I'm armed with some ideas for the family to consider.

I don't think I posted this sneak peek of one of my classes for the Simply Southern Scrapbook convention in Huntsville, AL (titled "Heart of a Gypsy"). Registration for all the classes opens Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 7:00 pm CST. Advance tickets are $2 cheaper than tickets at the door, and you reserve your seat, so no regrets if you get there and the classes you wanted are all sold out ;)

Check out all the great classes at http://www.simplysouthernscrapbook.com/, and let me know what you think.

vacation ideas?

Hi, all. I'm needing some help. My family would like to take a vacation - somewhere not to far away (because we would drive) and not too expensive (have you checked the rates on a beach condo rental lately?!) We did Chattanooga, TN, last spring, and I tried to convince the fam that Nashville sounded great to me...they aren't buying it. Basically, we need some kid stuff nearby (museum, water park, zoo, etc.), a great pool, and good food. We've been to the Pigeon Forge area few times, but never stayed anywhere that really made us want to go back. We've been to Big Cedar Lodge outside Branson, and loved it, but it's looking pricey to me this year. I've racked my brain, and thought I would ask my friends for some ideas - or specific places you've stayed that were nice, clean, and fun. Any help is appreciated!

We Belong Together

Kind of goes with yesterday's post, huh? :D Just a coincidence, I tell ya, 'cause I've been working on this 8.5X5.5 album for a class I'll be teaching for Lasting Memories at their retreat in CT. It's a limited edition class - meaning I'm only teaching it with these papers this one time, for 24 students. I need to dig thru my photo stash and decide exactly which ones I want to put in it :) I wanted it to be appropriate for all ages and boys, girls, families, friends, whatever. The birdies can even be flipped over, if you don't want that little cutesy bit (but I love 'em, and I want 'em, lol). These KI Memories papers are just the yummiest!

19 years

As of today, this man and I have been married for 19 years...almost half my life. And I'd do it all over again. Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart!

layouts

Almost time for July Scrapbooks, etc., so I guess it's okay to post a few of my layouts in the last issue.

Summer in full swing

around here it is :D The girls are super excited about attending a nature/outdoor camp, and I'm ready to do some sewing. But, still working on a couple of scrappy things. This is a peek at another summer class. Still deciding on a title for this one, but don't you love the colors?!
