Are we on Page TWO already??? it is only the fifth! Thanks for the birthday greetings, Ladies! It was a wonderful, very busy weekend. It was sweet the way the older dgk's made time in their busy lives to spend some quality time with us in honour of my birthday. We got to see the 8 dgk's who live in Alberta, all together, for a supper, a lunch and a brunch on 3 separate days. It was a blast to see the little guys playing together. Ryley is a bit small yet to join in (give him a year), but the 3 three-year-olds and the just-turned-five year old had a rollicking good time, and I think I got some cool photos. (Although they were moving pretty fast!!!) My ddil got hold of each of the families (including the BC residents) as well as my 2 grand nieces, and had them text her photos of 13 kids each holding one of the letters in Happy Birthday which each kid had decorated in some way, and she made a card with the photos. I will attach it below. While we were en route on Friday, Dh got a call from his doctor, who has spoken to a cardiologist who believes that some of the problems dh has been having may be a result of some of the medications he is on. Doesn't help that he has been taking OTC cold meds as well as his prescribed blood pressure, heart rate, and diabetes pills. He was told to cut one of his prescribed dosages in half. Tomorrow morning, he is supposed to see the doctor to discuss some other changes. Hopefully they can straighten this out. We are both pretty tired tonight, but I think he seems to be feeling better than last week, just with cutting out the cold meds and cutting one pill in half since Friday evening. Well, I am off to get a long night's sleep in my own bed. Hopefully I can get back into scrapping tomorrow. I didn't print pix of this last adventure, but still have lots from November to January.

Yes Dee page 2! We are really good at chatting! I was sorry to hear about your DH! I hope they get the meds straightened out! As we know some meds were giving me problems! I am feeling better , even my shortness of breath since stop the beta blocker. I still get the SOB but with the slightest exertion. Being over-weight doesn't help but how do you exercise when you can't breath. I am going to start riding my recumbent bike to see if it helps with the weight loss. I hope to do some scrapping tonight. I have a birthday card to make-actually a couple of them. grammadee-So glad you had such a nice birthday! It sounds like you totally enjoyed it. nylene- Loved your sweet Fall layout! Hope all is well! kellyr21- Hope you and Ron had a great anniversary! Not much more going on here so I will be back later. Need to do a few things around here |

Yes, scrapincin, the medications are a complicated mine field! Dh was having shortness of breath as well (which started when he had the flu and didn't let up). He just called to say the Dr is happier with his heart rate this morning (he went off the cold meds and cut his beta blocker in half since Friday evening). He wants him to come in again next Tuesday to see how that is working after a few days. My mind is in a bit of a fog this morning after our busy weekend, and I probably should have stayed out of the scrap room. I even had a dream that my scraproom was so full of junk that I couldn't even walk in there safely, but that didn't stop me. I managed to finish a couple of pages I had planned out last Thursday, but it was not a pleasant experience. I am going to start a thread on the Tim Holtz Vagabond, but I will say here I am not happy!!! Here are my pages. I used the list in our February Stash challenge for page one. I had intended to use the double page from the sketch challenge as well, but I had trouble selecting out any of the photos, so decided to go with them all. The only thing left of that scraplift is the grid pattern. I will look at it again when I do another double pager.  making memories together by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Making memories together 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr |

justjac , I love your birthday joy layout. The title is wonderful - the dimension on the JOY, the colors of the Birthday and the JOY together. "Magnific." said with my worst French accent. grammadee, That is way too awesome with the card. Hope your dh will feel better soon. The right dosage is sometimes a tricky thing as every other thing we do effects it. Those are very sweet pages. I made my first batch of hand lotion today. I cut the recipe in half so as not to make too much. The first rub on has left my chronically dry hands smooth. So I will call it a success. I'm off to the post office and to pick up a few things, like regular duct tape. My silver, normal duct tape is missing. I have 2 pinks and orange, the kids have multiple colors and multiple designs, but NO gray! We need gray for our history activity.

LisaDV , I have never made hand lotion. I have tried some that friends have made, but I think it would be fun. I hope it works perfectly for the "winter hands". What are you making with gray duct tape...inquiring minds want to know. grammadee , that birthday card is the sweetest thing. What a neat thing to do for you. I love it. I'm sorry your DH is still suffering. I hope they can adjust the meds to get him back on his feet. It's such a delicate balance to treat several problems at once. scrapincin , I am sorry you are still having SOB. It's really hard to exercise this time of year. I go to the mall to walk on days I don't teach, but that's not really as much as I need. I hope your stationary bike helps. Love those cards. They are so cute and so much fun to make. kellyr21 , I hope you have had a great weekend away. Take care of yourself. justjac , thanks for answering my questions about another performance. I'm sure it takes LOTS of time with rehearsals plus performances. Not much going on around here. I'll post the first page of my double pager soon. The 2nd page has too many faces of people I don't have permission to post, so it will be a one-pager. BBL

Wow, we are on page 2?!!! Look at our little thread just chattin' away. I have missed so much here and have to catch up. I am back from our anniversary trip. We left on Friday and returned yesterday. What a good time we had and so glad we were able to go. One of my favorite moments was going to this fab outdoor mall called Fashion Island in Newport Beach. We just love going there and it has been a while since we last visited. It was so crazy when we got there it was sunny skies. Then a short time later the marine layer rolled in and suddenly it was cold and misty. But we walked around and enjoyed ourselves anyway. I took pictures and I hope to get some scrapping done soon. I gotta catch up on my layouts. I haven't made one in a long time. Thanks for all the anniversary well wishes too. grammadee- So happy to hear you had a very Happy Birthday!!!! Your family really showered their love on you. How sweet!!! I will finish reading all the chat and be back to comment. Take care ladies!!! |

nylene, dd made a model of the monitor from the civil war. Of course, I bought the size of screw it said to, but she needs a larger one. So she can't finish until Thurday when Don brings home the larger screw for us. Did you see the scrapbook.com email from the other day. 2 of your layouts were at the bottom of it in the gallery section. SanFran and Pixar! I was super excited to see them. I meant to come post right then but got sidetracked (story of my life). kellyr21, sounds like a wonderful anniversary trip. I've been thinking home decor lately and thought of you and your lovely wreaths. It's warming up here, 34F. The icicles are just dripping off the roof. It's calling for a freezing mix which would be ok, if it warmed up properly afterwards, but no back in the 20s tomorrow. So a slick mess. Yuck! I'm just so ready for warmth, and I realize it really hasn't been a bad winter at all. Off to get something done or at least pretend to. It's one of those days...

LisaDV, that sounds like an ambitious project your DD is doing. Of course it would ask for the wrong sized screw!! Thanks for letting me know about the email from Scrapbook.com. I missed it. I know that lots of layouts cycle through the featured spots which is fun because you get to see lots of really neat layouts you might otherwise miss in the gallery. scrapincin, I love your butterfly card. Another card I want to scraplift. I had my hair cut today and colored. It's a little dark, but I like not seeing the gray all around the front. My hairdresser says it will lighten with time. We'll see if I like it tomorrow when I do it myself. LOL! Be back tomorrow.

scrapincin, great card design. I think I need to lift it. I ❤️ butterflies 🦋. nylene, i think the screw was the right size but I think I had a taller nut can. I'll see if I still have the email. I've been trying to delete to keep my in box manageable but especially scrap store ones to keep from being tempted. I'm sure you're hair looks great. I wish I had a hair dresser on staff. I've never been the best at it. I just went short (neck length) a few weeks ago. My hair hasn't been this short since ds14 was born. I'm enjoying it. Off to put the dd to bed. Running a bit late tonight.

Good Tuesday evening, Ladies! Doesn't it feel good to see the grey disappear, nylene? I had a few grey days a couple of weeks ago between when my hairdresser had time to cut my hair and when she had time to colour. Love your cards, scrapincin. Those cut files are cute, but you took them to the next level. Glad you had a great anniversary weekend, kellyr21, and that you got some good photos to scrap. I don't know how you get so much crafting done what with home schooling your kids, LisaDV. That project of your dd's sounds intriquing: is she using your 3D printer for it? Glad you dropped in @elaynef and shared your pages. And I am enjoying seeing justjac's LOAD pages and maribeth's creations from her SuperScraft Saturday. I put together a two pager today, lifting the double page from the February Sketch/Scraplift challenge.  home for the holidays 16 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I also have another double page LO started for tomorrow. Not sure if I like the second page, but will let it rest over night to see what I can do with it in the morning. The spread also needs a title and journaling. Still working with Christmas pages, checking them off my list, but still have some more to go. My album is filling up, so I am pretty sure I will need to divide it into a Winter book and a Christmas one. That means I will need a cover page and a closing page for the Christmas book, so will need to do those before I put away all the Christmassy crafting supplies.... Anyway, I need to wrap this up and get off the computer! TTYL! |

That project of your dd's sounds intriquing: is she using your 3D printer for it? HA!HA! That printer is still in the box. I don't have a spot for it. I thought if DH added a melamine board to my craft desk area but made it larger (which means he could use some 2x4's for the back side legs), you know, nothing fancy. I could put it there. He thinks it'll need more room. I have no more room in my craft area. So I still want to try my idea. He hasn't had time. He had a minor procedure that he had to heal from. Before and after that time, well, it's coyote hunting. They still haven't gotten any, but I sure wish they would. Our other animal population cannot be faring well with all the bones we find on the property. DDs project just uses around the house items. Silver/gray duct tape is used to mimic the iron ship and she riveted it with a black marker. The revolving turret is an 8 oz nut can covered in the tape. she has two screws pointing out to mimic the canons. The top screw (the longer one we're waiting for) goes through the top of the can and the base of the ship, allowing the can (turret) to turn. She loves crafty things and it helps keep her interested in history. She also loves science, because she likes the experiments. She has a high propensity toward kinesthetic learning. My happy news today! I've been on the hunt for a psychologist that does biofeedback counseling for dd. It was recommended by the neurologist. I even had her PCP look into who she'd recommend. After calling around to about 20 different places. Every person/place called didn't do it. They'd suggest another place/person, but upon calling, they didn't do it. The second to last person called, actually got me to the right person. He called back this morning. Hurray! I'm off to get something accomplish so that I can get my 1/2 hour crafty time in today. I want to get some digi Christmas layouts finished and try out the new cable for my silhouette. Keep your fingers crossed for that it will work. I'm lost without my silhouette. |

Good evening Pokeys! Hope all is well with everyone. I am doing pretty well. LisaDV- I would be totally lost without my Sil also. That is undoubtedly my most favorite scrapping tool! I had an SD version a year after I started scrapping I used it until the Cameo came out, waited for a few weeks to see if it was going to if was going to have major problems and then bought one so that I could use 12 x 12 paper with it. I gave my SD to my youngest dd as the older one already had one. nylene- I found where to get the daily email at Scrapbook.com and got one today. I love looking at the scraprooms section of their gallery. kellyr21- I was glad you and Ron had a great time on your trip. grammadee you have been quiet today. Is your DH doing better? justjac- you too have been quiet . I found some of your layouts in the gallery and left you some lobe! maribeth mssing you again. hope to see you soon. Well going to go for now. Have a good night & I will be back tomorrow. |

Hello, everyone! Glad you are doing well, scrapincin. Thanks for asking about dh. He has an appointment with the cardiologist on Friday. He has been feeling a lot better since adjusting his meds last week, but he is having another ecg just before the appointment. Hope that the psychologist works out well for your dd, LisaDV: whatever she can do to control her pain. I am still scrapping Christmas. Almost done those pics, but still have a quite a few winter and cousin pages to put together. Finished a 2 pager I started last night. This Lo documents a battery operated ornament we have had since the kids were small. It wasn't out this year because my decorating had come to a halt with my broken arm, but when our ds was here just before Christmas, he wanted to dig out this special part of his childhood and show it to his boys and they ended up taking it home.  christmas past by Gramma Dee, on Flickr  Christmas Past 2 by Gramma Dee, on Flickr I have almost completed another 2 pager--just waiting for the glue to dry. Will do the final touches and add that to the count tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have a physio appointment, need to do some shopping for dh, want to print my bd weekend pix and visit the LSS, and plan to meet justjac for supper. |

This is just a quick run-by to let you know I am alive. This has been a busy day and I can hardly keep my eyes open. LisaDV and scrapincin , I would be lost without my Silhouette too. I bought a new mat and cut 4 rows of leaves for my Fall page. When I removed them, it took every bit of sticky off the mat. I contacted Silhouette and they asked for photos. Do you know how hard it is to take a photo that shows holes in the adhesive? But they agreed and will send me a new mat. grammadee , I'll catch up on your layouts in the morning. I hope your DH continues to do well and that his ECG shows all is well. maribeth , are you still scrapping up a storm? Hoping to see more layouts. justjac , I will check out your gallery posts in the morning too. kellyr21 , it will be fun to see photos of your weekend away. See you all later. |

scrapincin, I had the SD also. My dh bought me the cameo for Christmas that year and I gave the SD to a niece that is crafty. grammadee, wonderful pages. I left you some love. Hope your appointment goes well today. Right now, I'm uploading pictures so I can pick them up tomorrow. Funny story, DH came home last night, so we were just chatting. All of a sudden, he asked if I had taken the 3D printer out of the box yet. I laughed, told him about your ? and my answer. He totally forgot he needed to fix a desktop for me. Hopefully, this will prompt him to get on it. nylene, that's so awesome to hear good customer service happening from any company these days. I did 2 digital layouts yesterday evening and that was all I could muster. Hope to do some more this evening. The temp is currently 14 and feels like 0. BRRR! I'm staying inside all day. Unfortunately, I still have chores to do.

Catching up on all your creativity. Been busy at work and home so have not been on here much the past few days. justjac - your Load4 page Birthday joy is oh so joyful. I love your color selection, and the lightweight flower materials picks up on the tissue paper throwing with that light and airy feel. The entire composition of your page works so wonderfully giving the page just a light and joyful feel. @gammadee - Happy Belated Birthday - You share my late Mother's birthday. scrapincin - your two Valentine's Cards are super cute. Such intricate work. You make stunning cards. grammadee - your Making Memories Together pages are wonderful. I love the added texture you used with the embossing folders (I really have to use mine). The photos are great and such a wonderful way to document this for the future. scrapincin - Again, your butterfly birthday card is simply stunning. I love the butterfly background paper and then the large die cut center stage. grammadee - your Home for the Holidays spread has a real elegance to it. The rich colors evoke a feeling for warmth. Repeating that elegant feel on the Christmas Past spread also brought a warm and nostalgic feel when looking at your pages. Great job. - You are really rocking those Christmas/Winter pages. I am always all over the place, wish I could scrap more current stuff, but I always jump around so much. justjac - Dirt, Adventure and Load 6 - well I have a certain soft spot for outdoor pages so I am going to be just a tad biased here - LOL - THEY ARE TERRIFIC. I think you really hit the mark with these pages, all of the outdoor elements, using the wood pieces, all of the texture your paper and embellishment choices give your pages. Great! Great! Great! Oh Crop - the title is just so catchy. Love the colors in this page and it feels full of energy just like it feels at the crop itself. The Creationary pages are adorable. Full of fun, love love love the Lego look, so full of color. So happy we are all creating this month. Way to go Pokey's! |

Yesterday was Jim's 70th birthday. I took the day off to spend the day with him. I joined him and Bandit on the daily 5 mile walk. Then we went to a local restaurant and had lunch. We spent the rest of the day just hanging out together, something it seems we don't get to do a lot of (until camping begins). I wanted to get him a new riding lawn mower for his birthday, but I didn't know what kind to get him, so I just printed a photo of one and told him to pick the one that would be appropriate for the task at hand. He spent some time online looking at different models, and he is going to town today to visit his daughter, so he may stop at the big box hardware stores to see some in person. His son who is an avid sports collector, gave Jim 4 Green Bay Packer cards (not valuable ones) and Jim asked if I would make a scrapbook page of them. Have I ever shared my other two sports card pages? I am using the Graphic 45 Good Ol Sport Collection trying to keep my sports album kind of cohesive. But I will run out - Keep your eye out for any vintage sport collection that my be released and let me know if you will. Have a wonderful Day ladies.

Good Friday morning everyone! I hope you are going to have a great weekend filled with rest and creativity! I hope to spend tome oin my scrap room. I am on a roll and do not want to fall off. maribeth- so good to see you! Sounds like DH had a great birthday! A 5 mile walk I would have to go to bed when I was finished! Great for him to be able to do that everyday! Your layout is very cool!! I had not seen that line of paper. nylene- I have to say that Customer Service at Silhouette is really good. They have always helped me with my problems. Here's a layout I did last night. The picture has beeen waiting for me to scrap it so instead of a card I took care of it.  Sweet by Cindy Blair, on Flickr have a great day I will be back later |

scrapincin - Your page is uber sweet. Love the pretty heart clusters on the scalloped bases. The Color selections are perfect with the photo. And yes, it is great he does 5 miles (or more) every day. I usually do that in a day just walking at the office, I have a standing desk, and my three on the treadmill at night. But I will be honest it has been so cold in the garage I have not been meeting my obligation, yesterday's walk made me realize I need to get back to that. Will start back up tonight I think.

Thanks, maribeth for all your comments about my pages. Happy birthday to your dh. Nice that you stayed home with him. Neither I nor my dh would even begin a 5 mile hike ANY day! Hope he finds a mower he likes. My dh spends hours on the lawn tractor in the summer. Love your page, scrapincin! You need to link it over at DawnMcD's new February diecut challenge It has the title and the hearts, so it would start that thread off nicely! And your cards certainly meet the 3-D requirement! Maybe nylene will join in as well! I had a great day yesterday. Got my bd photos printed, and met up with justjac and her dh for supper. I guess now that I have received my last birthday gift I have to realize that the celebration is indeed over, and that I now have to just get used to being OLD! Lots of scrappy shopping. Discovered that a small town pharmacy had a whole display of name brand paper collections. I had a little birthday money to spend, so I spent it (and a little more  ) on some collections that feature home cooking, farming, lake life, and family: all themes that are difficult to find, and that I like to use. Some I had passed over last year when all the lines were coming out, but some I had never seen before. I also picked up some wide burlap ribbon and some Tim Holtz word stickers. Feeling a little foggy this morning, so not sure what I might accomplish. Before I left, I had laid out the photos and supplies for the next LO, so I might start there... Or maybe just sort the bd photos and do a title list... I know I want to use one of them for my February calendar page, so that's a possibility... Or I may just decide that today is a day to just veg. Whatever YOU decide to do with YOUR day, make it a good one! |

Hi, friends. I have finally caught up with all your lovely work and left love in the gallery. You guys are burning up the thread with layouts!!! That's amazing. grammadee, I think you deserve the prize for the most drawn-out birthday celebration ever. LOL How fun that you and justjac could get together. Wouldn't it be fun if we could all get together for lunch, shopping and scrapping. Glad you found some new papers. maribeth, I would never make it 5 miles. My feet are so bad right now that one trip around the mall is all I can do. Steve usually does 3 trips. (3 miles) Happy Belated B-day to your DH. Glad you got to spend some time together. LisaDV, I can't wait til you get that 3D printer up and running. It's amazing what those do. They are having a big 4-H Maker Day tomorrow and the kids get to use the 2 printers the county owns. scrapincin, I love that page, and particularly love your journaling. I think the journaling is often my favorite part of layouts. Yours today is fabulous. I am wishing each of you a wonderful Weekend with at least a little time for being scrappy! BBL |

Happy Friday! Thanks ladies for the well wishes on our anniversary trip. We did have a good time. I only wish I got some good pictures. They either came of too dark, misty and a few were clear. Bummer! But I think I have a few I can scrap. I have been working on some more cards for Valentine's Day. I had a couple of ideas that didn't work out, yet. So recently I got more of that pretty pastel and gold pp I used and finding a way to make Valentine's with that. Fingers crossed. You ladies have really been scrappin and I have to get with it. Go Girls!!!  LisaDV- You are planning some decorating? I was thinking about more too. I do love the wreaths I made and have more ideas. We really need to redo our bathroom and bedroom so I hope to get a few things done. Oh and good lord it is cold where you are! Geez! I hope you all stay warm and have fun too. nylene- Oooh lala on the new hair do. I am glad you like it. I am still wearing my hair curly and I still love it. I am getting more greys so far they aren't bothering me. (so far! LOL!) maribeth- You and your dh had a great day together! So sweet he wanted you to scrap his football cards. scrapincin- Your butterfly cards are so pretty! Love them! I haven't talked with ya about the Superbowl. Wasn't that a great game? It was so slow in the first half and them woozers! I got bored and left the game for a while. Then my dh was telling me things were getting tight and I was like yeah yeah. I just didn't think the Pats could come back and boy was I wrong. So we enjoyed it and I even watched some of the replay on Monday since I missed most of the comeback. Waving hello to grammadee and justjac. Glad you gals were about to have dinner together. How fun! |

Good Morning Ladies kellyr21 - looking forward to seeing the pages you make with the photos that you salvaged. I hate it when I can't get good photos, but it happens. Here is another page from me - I used a GIS sketch, but can seem to find my reference material of which one it was, sorry. 
Off to watch granddaughter in soccer tourney, hope to scrap tomorrow. Have a spectacular day everyone. |

maribeth, that paper is perfect on that layout. I can see why you like it. Happy birthday to your husband. I'm so glad you got to spend the day with him. Sounds like it was a perfectly lovely day. Your Carter page is adorable!!! Enjoy the soccer tourney. scrapincin, Your layout about your niece is wonderful. I loved the journaling. The paper and embellishment choices really set off the photo and journaling so nicely. grammadee, Old is a state of mind, and I don't think you will EVER be old. I am sorry your birthday celebrations are over. I have a niece who believes it should be a birthday month. We all need veg days once in a while, hope your fog is lifting today. nylene, I wish I could be there with your 4H to see that. I'm still intimated by the idea of the thing. I know once I get it out and going that I'll love it. kellyr21, Your wreaths were so beautiful. I'm hoping to make 4-6 different decor set up's, including Christmas for the main room of the house. I like to change things up and I thought if I just changed some of the decor pieces and their color schemes, it would keep a fresh feeling. Although I'm no where near the set up stage yet. But a girl can plan and dream. With the wreaths, if I took a class, maybe I could start the various designs I want to incorporate with each season/holiday. You know, work slowly towards my goal. Yes, it was super cold here the other day. Today it's suppose to get up to 35 and tomorrow. The snow and ice are thudding off the steel roof like crazy today. The church youth were suppose to do their sledding party Sunday, and this is a reschedule as the last time it was planned we had the same kind of warm up and no good sledding. DH is going to ask for them to keep it permanently booked for each Sunday since it's obvious that it coincides with warmer temps. Do you have Adobe Photoshop? If yes, did you try lightening your too dark photos in there. I use it all the time for that. Sometimes it'll leave the photo a bit grainy, but at least I have something to use. I'm sure other editing software work the same. Wednesday afternoon, I began feeling under the weather and all day on Thursday. DD was in the same boat, but we had to be out all day yesterday. So today, I'm hoping to veg a bit today, get a couple of digi layouts finished, a few chores, and hang with the dd. She's making valentine's day cards as I type this.

Good Saturday evening, Ladies! Hope you are having a good weekend. If you have time, opportunity and mojo, I hope you get to play a little bit. Have you seen the new challenges this month? How do you like your pizza scrappy game and the diecut challenge If you are stuck for ideas, check them out! Dd & dgs are here, and we have had a busy day, but he is now asleep and she has gone to her room to unwind watching Netflix. With her hubby gone for most of this month for work, she is feeling a little run down keeping up with a VERY active little man. At least out here, we can let him play outside without worrying about traffic and he has lots of room to move around. Before they got here this morning, I was able to glue together a 2 page LO I have had on my scrap counter since Wednesday evening. Still needs some added touches, but by Monday morning I will be able to quickly finish it and then move on to the next couple of pages. Thanks for your comments here and in the Gallery. And nylene , I would LOVE to live next door to you: I could show you some of my amateur mixed media tricks, and you could teach me how to use an electronic cutter. I might even invest in a Silhouette if I knew I could really DO something with it! And thanks for your well wished about dh. He saw the cardiologist yesterday and he is supposed to stay on his reduced dosage of meds for another week. There was some discrepancy between the cardiologist's advice and that of his regular doctor, but I convinced him to stop at the Dr's clinic on the way home from the consultation, and now they are both on sync. They are scheduling a full workup of tests because he hasn't had that done for about ten years, but the specialist told him not to worry about some of the things he has been getting himself anxious about, so he seems a little more relaxed today. But he is coughing again this evening, so we are hoping his cold/flu is not making a reappearance. Anyway, have a great rest of your weekend! |

Good Sunday evening everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. My was quiet! I was excited yesterday when I got my daily email from Scrapbook.com my layout" That will inspire you to do more for sure. There is a new challenge on the board here that grammadee told me about. You have to have some sort of die cut on your project-layout, card, etc. It was a lot of fun. Thanks for letting me know grammadee. grammadee-you really did have a good birthday celebration! How fun! Glad to hear your DH is doing better. Not sure about him but when mine is out of whack you get so worn out just walking! LisaDV How;s your weather we were up to almost 50 today but it was raining so you could not take advantage of the warmer temperature. I am not far from you. kellyr21 no we never talked much about the super bowl. I was not happy as I was rooting for Atlanta. Due to Mr. Belichik and Mr. Brady I do not root for the Pats. I have not liked Belichik since he was our head coach. but thats how it is. LOL Ok done for now! |

) on some collections that feature home cooking, farming, lake life, and family: all themes that are difficult to find, and that I like to use. Some I had passed over last year when all the lines were coming out, but some I had never seen before. I also picked up some wide burlap ribbon and some Tim Holtz word stickers.
