I have been married to my best friend for over 23 years and have made a lifetime of memories with him. I am a SAHM to three nearly grown children. I try to spend my 'spare time' creating and preserving memories using photographs, when not out making more memories!

happy wednesday!!

hello!! it has been 10 days since i last posted. i am going to have to get better at posting once a week!! i have been busy enjoying the autumm season, family and scrappin!! and since they all go hand in hand, i will have many opportunities for scrapbooking, woo hoo!!

i have been working on my pine cone press projects and incorporating them with the challnges at the mosy scrapper. the best part is...i am getting pages done and in my book!! double woo hoo!!

my oldest sister, velinda, has written a couple of short stories that i have read and they were great. one was amazing, it was about our dad when he was younger. i am going to ask permission to scrap the short story with a photo of my dad from childhood, i think that would make a great page {and the journaling is already done!!}

our oldest son went for his first 'adult job' interview yesterday and it went very well. he was even introduced to the vp of the company and spent some time with him. he should hear in the next couple of weeks. if it is to be, i hope that it works out for him, if not...God has other things planned for him.

i hope that you are having a great week and remembering your gratitudes... i am and am so thankful for all of the things that i have and experience. each new thing helps me as i continue on in my journey through life.

i hope that you enjoy these layouts and the rest of your week!!

I can't believe that hair! Of course you have my permission to use my short story (if you make any money from it, you have to buy me a latte!)

I love the layouts---in fact I may "steal" your Extra Ordinary idea. Any chance you will be at Mary's this Friday night?
