A friend of mind recently had surgery. She is confined to her upstairs bedroom for 2 weeks because she can't do stairs. She asked me to visit with her tomorrow morning and just sit and chat. She also asked me to bring her our current CTMH catty and some of my scrapbooks so she can see them. Oh, and a "Starbucks Sugar Free Latte" :) She is sooo sweet!! She's a blue jean gal, wife, mother of 4 & a sweet friend! Anyway that's where the blue jean pocket was inspired from. I knew she would love that.
I love these DP i found at Hobby Lobby. Getting them at 50% off for a big stack of 12x12 is such a deal.
Anyhoo, I need to get dinner going, Boys have Royal Rangers at church tonite.
Have a great evening, and thanks for stopping by!!

10 Peas

Products Used~ CTMH Textured Base CS, Key to my Heart DP, Ric Rac, Rub Ons, LG Glitter Numbers, Sticker letters, SU Border Scallop Punch, Fiskars Border Punch, Paper Punch, Ribbon.

This page was inspired from November Page Maps, I tweaked the sketch a bit.

Well you know how kids are when you try to get them to eat there veggies. When my daughter told Meghan she only had to eat 10 peas off her plate she kept popping them into her mouth {after she wanted nothing to do with them} And of course Cailyn thought it was so funny she grabbed her crackers in both hands and laughed. hahaha, They are soooo cute!

I very much enjoyed my little quiet weekend. Oh it was great!! I scraped, cleaned, shopped and watched.... Imagine That with Eddie Murphy, cute movie. My family will be home some time today. Packer game is on at 3:15 CT. You know where I'll be.... Brett.... Who?? will be playing on Lambeau Field today. He is now a Minnesota Viking. {no comment} Packers need this win today!!!! Can you believe it's November 1st already? How was your extra hour of sleep? My inner alarm woke me up at my normal time, 5am. I didn't turn the clocks back till after i got up this morning.

Well that be it for me. I'm gonna clean up my Korner. Thanks for stoppin by and your sweet comments!

"Go Packers"!!

********************************************************

Packers lost. :( I know it's only a game, but Brett was a Packers for 16 years, and is now playing for the "Other" side. MHO I think his leaving {retiring??} had something to do with the New Manager the Packers got in 2007... Ted Thompson. They are not saying... But only saying.... "There is his side of the story, Brett's side, And then the Truth"... Hopefully the Real Truth will come out.

Nuf said!

Toby's 1st Birthday

Products Used~ CTMH CS, Random Stamped Background Desert Sand Ink, Stamps From Hobby Lobby, Misc. DP, Glitter Letters & Other?, Dog Stickers, Twine, Bone Sticker, Pullout Journal Inside.

Just in case you're wondering, I'm only doing this once. Toby's 1st Birthday page. Unless, he has a Real BD Party with all his 4 legged friends. hehehehe, Then I'll post pics and scrap the event.

Today Toby passed his 1st 8 week course of "Beginners" dog training. Just the basic things he learned, sit, stay, down, {come, is "Front" He sits right in front of me when called} take it, leave it, drop it.

We are still working on... drop it, loose leash walking. He wants to lead, and pull, and also jumps up on guests, He Loves people and only wants to please. Good Boy Toby! Ok enough of that.

Charlie's going Up North this weekend with a guy friend and our boys. They're getting the cabin & sight ready for deer hunting. Charlie shoots with a bow, hasn't gotten a deer in years, hasn't hunted in 2 years. He is such a woods man though. He'd live in the woods if he could.

I'm hoping do some cleaning and play this weekend. Fun huh?

Well, hope you all have a wonderful weekend... Oh and don't forget to "Fall Back" tomorrow night, it's that time again.

Thanks for stoppin by!

Brother's Fall Layout

Gosh what am i gonna do when the snow flies. I've been taking all my pictures of cards and pages outside. I just can't seem to get the right lighting in the house or in the light box.

Products Used~CTMH TwitterPated Level 2 Paper Kit, Stamps~ Season of Color, Many Thanks, Inks~ Autumn Terracotta, Desert Sand, Rub Ons, SU Journal Tab Punch, Leaf Punch, Tag, Twine, Punched out acorns from paper kit and adhered to Metal Circle Tags. {Brother's}~ Ran pictures i had of trees & leafs using the Cricut} Shadow Sweet Leaf CS. Click on images to inlarge.

First page was inspired from CTMH "Imagine" Page 94

I almost think i need to put something, {title} on the upper left corner. What do you think? I wanted to use "Real Leafs" on this layout. I dried them flat in a paper towel and set a book on them. I then brushed on CTMH {Close to my Heart} Liquid Glass to seal it and give them a slight shine. {hope it works} time will tell i guess. : )

I really love this paper kit! I wasn't sure if it would work with the photos i had. But then i seen the trees. I'm happy with the way it turned out!

Well that's about it. Sam is home sick for the 2nd day. His cough he had for over a week turned into a full blown cold on Sunday night. He's must be feeling better this afternoon. There is a skip in his step, and it wasn't there this morning. LOL

Have a great day!! Thank you ALL for your visits, and your many kind words/comments. They make me SMILE!!

Products Used~ CTMH CS, Papers Perfect Day, Rub-Ons, Eyelets, Ribbons, Leaves & Some CTMH Flowers, Retired DP Under Vellum~ SU Border Scallop Punch, EK Success Little Princess Bubble, Misc. Letters, Flowers, Buttons, Rhinestones, Twine.
I had fun putting this layout together. To know my little granddaughter Cailyn {20 months here} is a JOY! She is so fun, constantly on the GO. Unlike her older sister {Meghan 3~laid back} Cailyn throws fits when things don't go her way. I guess we all have one of those....hahahaha.... My daughter says she's all Mark. :)
Anyway, after we took our pool down in Sept. Cailyn got the biggest kick out of running through the dirt circle. I just kept snappin pics of her. All i said was... "Cailyn smell the flowers" She stopped, and off she went again.
All is well here, just a clean up day, raking and cleaning the garage... fun!
Micah had a great time at the BD party. The mom said they didn't get to sleep till after 1am. Oh joy, he's crabby today.

You all have a great weekend!! Thanks for stopping by!

I made this card over the weekend. I used my ATG 714 Scotch Adhesive Gun. Usually works well on vellum, But you can see it if you click on the card. Not that noticeable??
Micah's little BD party was fun! He got what he always wanted, nother "Nerf Gun" from Mark,Christyl & the girls. He's going to a BD Party sleep over Friday night. Guess what? It's a Nerf Party. Bring your own gun and they'll supply the ammo. I LOL when i read the invite. Micah is excited and can't wait. I know he's growing up when he goes for a sleepover {2nd one} and makes it the whole night without calling and wanting to come home.
Today is my Mother's BD. She would have been 78 today. She passed away 20 years ago this month. I Love & miss you Mom!!

Here are a few pics from his Birthday.



Rapid Fire Blaster, Holds 100 darts... Yikes

Thank you for the BD wishes!!

Thanks for stoppin by! Have a great day!!

Fall Day & A Birthday

I did get to Evergreen Park and the lake on Sunday and took a few pics of the boys. I don't think they turned out as well as last year, but at least i have them. I cropped this shot, as i took it from the road. That's probably why it so dark.

Sam in another tree. Why do boys have to be in a tree?

At the Lake

They so wanted to get their shoes wet.

Ahhh the park! Just what they've been waitng for. :)

Tomorrow is Micah's BD. We are celebrating tonight with family and a few friends. I pulled a few pics i had on file, {some you may have seen before} I about cried just thinking about how much they have grown.{i miss my babies} Gosh, Micah is eight and no longer needs a booster seat riding in the van. He's thrilled about that. This is a busy time for birthday's. 5 from now till December. Micah, Jesse, Christyl, Sam & Charlie. Yikes

Happy Birthday Micah!
