365 Project...

I must be crazy LOL For some reason I just signed up to ShutterCal, and they have a photo of the day for one year.. I am worried that I will get behind, but luckily they have a weekly reminder. I take photos all the time, but usually sporatically, not something daily, so I started this, and I hope Feb. 1st, 2012 I will have 365 photos to share with you.

here is my Calendar,let me know!!!

I hope you enjoy the photos that I will be posting, and please, let me know what you think...

Perfect Love...

This last summer, we were at a BBQ and Patrick was looking especially stylish in his cargo shorts and brown Hawaiian shirt... I wasnt expecting to take this photo, but it is a wonderful look at the love Grandparents and Grandchildren share... and notice, during his walk, he's barefoot, just like his Momma...

This is a Welsh Proverb that I have had since I was pregnant with Patrick... when I was growing up, next to my Mom, my Grandparents were the best part of my growing up. Doing Genealogy and going through countless photos, I see the love that I have for them, in Patricks eyes, when he looks at his Grandparents... Grammy, Nana and Papa

Family Love!!!


I was noticing that this is a scrapbook blog, and I rarely post scrapbook pages, well that is going to change, more layouts. I am a crafty person, and for some reason this year, even though we are super broke, I am paying attention to the scrapbook, paper medium world again. I need to say, that it has nothing to do with the fact that my man got a job offer... woohoo!!! We are extremely thrilled that one of us found a wonderful job in this tough economy... ok, enough about that, its time to talk about Scrapbooking. :)

Starbucks.... Patrick is taking orders




This is my son Patrick.. Christmas 2009, our cousin Jennifer asked him to come with her to her room, having not been around her more than twice, he went with her, willingly. She took him into her room and out he walked with his very own Starbuck Barista Apron.. what a site, I think I'm the only one on both sides that doesn't drink coffee... he was playing in Aunt Linda's kitchen cupboards, and found her Starbuck cup, very cute photos, and it took me a while to make this lay out, but so very glad that I waited.

CupCake Toppers......


Since discovering I have been messing around with making the toppers for cards.. here are two cards that I made for Valentines day using the cupcake toppers from Printablepartykits.com, I hope to post more as I printed out several items.



I am still working on my craft in taking photos of my completed works... sometimes they turn out great, other times they look like a train wreck. But alas, the point is made.

Craft Gossip

Yesterday I was playing with my phone, and I found a new app, I wanted something for reading news, etc, and I came across Pulse App, I down loaded it, and once you start messing with the settings it can really cut down on reading the news, reviews, blogs, etc, and one of the "set" websites for a search I did on Crafts, was Craft Gossip, I have to give two thumbs up to this website. They have something there for everyone.

I was looking through their website, and came across my first project, Printable Cupcake Toppers... well, I didnt see cupcake toppers, I saw circle punches for greeting cards... I hope to have time to make cards tonight for Valentines day and then get them posted.

And when I get some more black ink, Im going to print out the Animal Safari toppers that I found on the recommended site, which is http://www.printablepartykits.com I'm going to make a few scrapbook pages with these for my son's album, for his 2nd Birthday!!!

They have so much to offer a person.
