I Have Been MIA

Sorry everyone, but it has been CRAZY around my house. My youngest son and family have been moving in to my house for the past few weeks and as of yesterday..they are moving out of my house...No problems between us...they are moving back to a house that belongs to her family that they will be renting. More room...etc..plus she grew up in the house so she really likes it. When they get all moved out and I get everything all together again, I can start playing again.
Going to miss the kids and grandkids but I also missed my time alone. Don't get me wrong..I REALLY enjoyed them being here...but not enough room in my house for everyone. 3 small bedrooms, living room, dining/kitchen combo...it was TIGHT....lol. Anyway, I will get some layouts done and get them posted here asap. Have a great day...Gail

Amelia & Elora

Here is a picture of Amelia (4 mos) and Elora (3yrs) that I fixed up for their Dad (my son Jeremy) for Father's Day. I used CTMH textured cardstock Bubblegum and some garage sale trim that is almost like the trim on Elora's dress. Then I put it in a 5x7 frame.

Layout for Scrap Happy Okies Retreat 5-15-09

Here is the layout I did for the retreat. Everything is CTMH. Paper from the Sweet Harmony Lv 2 Paper Packet and Stickease. Dimensional Alphas, Rhinestone Flowers from the Connection Club, and I used Black Exclusive ink for distressing and Amethyst on the Alphas. The other letters in Amelia Faith are from the Stickease. It is hard to see but I added Liquid Glass to the A and the F and a Rhinestone flower to the tip of the letters. The only cardstock used was for the base pages. Oh..and I also used the Summer Posies w/Rhinestone flowers in center and New England Ivy Ribbon on the stickease tags

Oh well..its a new day. Have a good one...

But I am getting there. I will work on getting pics posted later...Have a good day, I have to get up in a few hours and go to work. Been off for a few days. The Scrap Happy Okies (which I am proud to say I am one of) did a retreat this past weekend with over 80 women and consultants. We had a blast. Got lots of layouts done, gave away alot of prizes and learned alot of new tips and techniques. This is our 2nd year to do this and it was great. Can't wait for next year. Well I will close this for now...beddy bye time..I miss my granddaughters....lol

Hello and Welcome To My Blog

Hi everyone,
Please excuse the mess, I am under construction and may need some help. Any suggestions would be helpful..I have taken a giant leap into the unknown here. I am going to try this out, never done anything like this before. I have not even tried to post pictures on our BB yet. Just learning how to get them on here. So have patients with me and I will get it soon...LOL..I love looking at everyones blogs and I am so glad to finally see everyone from CTMH doing a blog.
So now I am going to try my hand at it....

My problem is getting the pictures from the camera to the computer...can't find the right place to hook up. But I will get it figured out eventually. So on that note I will get off the computer so I can find my cords to hook up...Have a great day everyone.
