Elsie Ikea Box

This was so much fun to make! T can stuff it full of all of her bling and other treasures!!Thanks Janet for the papers!!

We have water

This has been such a rainy summer for us! The lakes are all closed due to the debris and high water! I doubt the lakes will be open the rest of the summer, the flood gates are open, yet the rain just keeps filling the lake back up! This is a picture of a campground just to give you a peek of the high water! Of course over the last 2 days we have received 2 plus inches and a zillion mosquitoes!

Sweet 16 Acrylic Album

I love these acrylic albums!! So much fun to do and a great way to use the tons of stamps we all have. I will be teaching this fun album at SBF in Aug. or Sept.!

Sweet 16

She finally made it, Sweet 16! We celebrated the day with lunch at Chilis, shopping at the outlet mall, dinner with friends at Joe's Crabshack, and back home for cake and ice cream!Friends spent the night playing games on her new Xbox 360!Happy Birthday!!

Mr. Squirrel

This little fella would climb on the windowsill at my aunts house every morning and look at me through the glass with as much interest as I did watching him eating his pecans. This fun little fella made me smile every morning while I had my coffee and surfed the net! Thanks little buddy!

June Layouts

I actually had time to do a few layouts in June. I will always remember sitting in my aunts sunroom doing these layouts in between hospital time. Her sunporch looked out over her beautiful backyard with huge pecan trees, such a peaceful place with the squirrels scampering around!

Acrylic Album

This is a work in progress. I am making this fun acrylic album for a friend. What a lot of fun to work on!

It is so good to be back home yet sad that my sweet 91 year old aunt passed away July 1. Thanks to all of you for your support, it meant a lot during the last 2 months.

One More Day

Father time sometimes ages people very fast! I went home 2 weeks ago after being with my aunt. A week ago last Tuesday she was feeling bad when I called so I had the sitter call an ambulance. She was readmitted for the third time and I have been here for 10 days and holding. She has the primary, ifectious disease, lung, and kidney doctors all stumped, along with me! Her white count stays around 17000 even with very strong antibotics. She received 2 units of blood which gave her some energy. Now if she would eat that would improve things. They are moving her to a skilled nursing floor tonight and I don't think she will like that...they are going to push her! Maybe one day in the near future life will settle down!

91 and holding

My sweet little 91 year old aunt has been in the hospital for the last 2 weeks. She developed pneumonia about a month ago but of course she didn't know that and a Dr. just gave her medicine over the phone. That medicine didn't work and her neighbor took her to the hospital around the 10th. I drove down and she was dismissed on the 12th against my wishes and we changed doctors and she was readmitted on the 16th. It has been an up and down time but this time we changed hospitals and doctors and things seem to be improving! She was supposed to go home Saturday when my cousin was with her while we were in Houston at a soccer tournament, but she still wasn't doing good so now the dr. is shooting for Monday! I will fly back to Lubbock early tomorrow and get her home hopefully and then maybe come back home by Wednesday! I have to find someone to stay with her and I am still not comfortable leaving her alone! She has been remarkably healthy for 91 years!!

Champion Soccer

 

A fun mini class I am teaching at my lss! Adapted from Schmilles site. So easy to do, just 4x6 and 4x12 cardstock!! Great way to use up those scraps and hordes of embellies!!

Boho Class

 
I taught this fun class this Sunday at my lss! A great group of ladies, a great lunch, and a fun 7 Gyp album!!

How Many Hours Can I

 go without sleep over the weekend? Not as many as I used to that is for sure! I think I survived this weekend on less than 8 hrs of sleep and I know that I know that today! We had a great time, the food was great, the scrappin was super ( I actually got 18 pages done), the girls were a blast, and the B&B was wonderful! I had a great time teaching the make-n-take and think that everyone enjoyed it! Super weekend, great job Shannon and Patsy!

I am off to spend this weekend at this beautiful B&B in Salado.I am going to a retreat with a friend for a fun weekend scrapbooking! I am teaching a make-n-take on Saturday but otherwise I will be cranking out some pages,hopefully!!

Super Elf Scrapper

 

Can you spot me in this picture? A fun "you light up my life" class I taught this week at the LSS. It was a mystery class, no one knew what the class was going to be, just show up and take your chances! We had a blast and of course everyone paid close attention to the Super Elf Scrapper

I just had to jump on the Ikea drawer bandwagon! I really like how the altered drawers turned and I have another space to store my goodies!!
