ATC Update

    Here are a few more ATCs that I made in the last little bit. I am really enjoying the little bits of stuff that I use. I have put my Creative Memories square punch to good use. I also have the circle and the heart shapes that I will be trying out soon. I am having a bit of trouble with adhesive...silicone glue is what I am hearing...I just don't know what that is! Enjoy!!

ATC Premiere!

     I went shopping with my daughter on Saturday and with my Mom today. We love to find bargains on scrapping and crafting supplies! Hobby Lobby has Cricut Imagine pattern cartridges for $19.99!! The Imagine shape cartridges are $29.99!! Plus they had a whole bunch of Artist Trading Card supplies marked way down. I have been wanting to incorporate those into my card making somehow. I got a nice selection of stuff and came home to my Scrap Room! I dug around in my scraps of cardstock and got out some small stamps and some ribbon. Here is the very first ATC that I ever - in my life - made!!!! I see many more in my future!

     Wow! It has been quite a while since my last post!  I have been trying to get through this school year and have needed all my attention on that.  I have not scrapped at all! I do have lots of pictures of grandchildren and kayaking to get going on. School is over in 5 more days and maybe I can get the evil and malevolent people out of my life and regroup and refresh!I have some big changes to make, but they will be in my best interest - just not easy. I am looking forward to the peace and relaxation I find in my scrap room. More soon.

Florida Camping....More Pictures!

     I had some time this evening to look at my pictures from the Florida camping/kayaking trip. I REALLY need to get some printed and start scrapping! I like how just looking at a couple of pictures brings so many memories back! I forgot to take a picture of the actual tent site but I do have a picture of my truck loaded down! Plus a couple of me in my pretty little kayak! I am keeping a close eye out for alligators!

Easter Festivities!

     This has been a very busy weekend! I had four days off from work...yippee! Spent a LOT of time in the flower beds. Saturday was all about the grandkids! Coloring eggs was a big hit! Check out these pictures!

Florida Camping & Kayaking Trip

    I got sidetracked with my new grandson arriving on the very day I returned home from my camping/kayaking trip! I will post some pictures now but I have not been able to get into my craft room to create anything yet. I am really behind with my scrapbook about my outdoor adventures! Gotta make a better plan!! These photos are from the Ft. McCoy area of Florida. The rivers are beautiful, clear water with lots of wildlife and vegetation. Sometimes you couldn't see the sky for the canopy of trees arching over the river! Unbelievable colors! Enjoy!

See what I mean!

Real monkeys!

Real alligators!

Real warning sign! LOL!

New Grandson!

    It is time to update the picture and information in the  "about me" area of my blog.  I am pleased to announce the arrival of my 8th grandchild! His name is Alexander and we will call him Lex. For anyone who is counting...that makes 7 grandsons and 1 granddaughter!!!  I am soooooo not old enough to have that many grandchildren! The oldest one is only 8 years old...so my kids have been very busy! Well, one time they came as a pair...but that was the only set of multiples...so far!  Ha Ha!!!

All 6 lbs 14 oz of him!
