Scrapbooking



Well only one more day until Scrapjacked releases the new "scrapjack challenge". For those of you who don't know what that is , they pick a scrapbooker's page and challenge us to make our version of it, then post on a website so all can see and get judged. Check it out www.scrapjacked.blogspot.com
I post my pages on the store's Gallery( No Bare Pages) www.nobarepages.com
Over the weekend I did a scrapjack of the cover page on Creating Keepsakes Magazine
So here is my take.
By the way woke up to "NO SNOW" this morning, but we could still get a bit more later today.
Hope you all have a great day

SNOW SNOW SNOW !!




Well guess I shouldn't have been bragging about "SPRING" We have more snow and more is expected tonight. But it is still a school day. Sorry Rob, I tried. Steve just called and said the roads were very slick. Will have to drive very careful.

Had a good weekend





Busy weekend, Steve got the new entryway light fixture up (made his own scaffolding to get 18feet up... I cleaned up my scrapbook room!!!!! Even made a page !!!! Went on Saturday with Robin Landers to get a facial at the Beauty College, great value only $22 and a one hour treatment. Give those girls a try.
On another note , took Robin out to practice driving in our neighborhood. Had a differet approach this time . Practices making right & left turns from different roads and went to the church parkinglot to practice parking. I was much calmer this time and he did a much better job, no screeching from me this time ! Let me ask you how do kids do so many things at the same time? Robin listening to music, and playing a game on his Wii at the same time ??

North Medford Theater Presents....



"ANTIGONE"
We went and watched Robin in his first play. He is a Theban Soldier. If you are familiar with "Greek Tragedy's" that is what the play was. I am not , it was entertaining, a modern take on the story. I was told by Steve that I should not be taking pictures during the play so didn't, BUT there was an unnamed mother that was in the front row and she took several of her daughter..... I would have had several opportunities to get a very good shot of Rob holding his Uzi rifle. So had to settle for afterwards with a couple with his friends. He has another performance tonight.
Yesterday the bad weather was gone so it was back to normal, now today there is going to be another cold storm front moving in. Maybe more snow too. Well big plans to clean my scrapbook room today and Steve is going to change the entry way light fixture(the one I broke about five years ago while dusting 18 feet up !!!???) Don't ask, most of you already know the story. Then this afternoon Robin (Landers) and I are getting facials at the beauty school, just because we can .
Well have a good day.
Hi to Mona & Andy !!!
Guess I better identify Robs theater mates TJ Todd , Jacob Schatz and Ashley Mix

My Getaway car






Ok, so I did move my car down the driveway yesterday afternoon. Steve did come home and finish clearing enough of the driveway so we could move the car down. It is sunny today so the snow is melting. That is the good thing about storms here, within a day or two the roads are all clear again.

The creek is running nicely too. Love the sound of the water running at night.


Robin played with photo shop yesterday and did these two pages.

Still a snow day



Yes we are stranded, because I didn't move my car down the driveway last night, a mere 65 feet of slickery snot like slush stands between us and the road which is passable. Previous experience prevents me from trying ,after all remember when Andy's car ended up across the street wedged in the creekbed between a couple of trees !! And that was in the summer, I also did a 180 from the driveway on a snow day and planted the car in the middle of Steve's pride and joy, "the Lawn". No I have learned my lesson.
It is much more dramatic here too. Robin is catching up on some piano practice so he is playing "Prelude in C# Minor" by Rachmoninoff (sp?)
Well as you can see I am not cleaning house like I should be, OHHHH It is 1:00 time for "Days of Our Lives" Better go !! Hey, what's with that CHOCLATE, I was saving that for an emergency !! It must be my "Evil" twin broke into my secret stash.....

YIKES "SNOW"



Snowed all night , this morning no school, power outages,so much for spring...
pictures from last night then same shot this morning and it is still snowing !!!

"Happy Birthday Marcy "


You know now that I am going to have to do this,
Happy birthday to you
happy birthday to you
happy birthday dear Marcy
happy birthday to you !!

Marcy and I go wayyyyyy back. To 1980, when we were pregnant with Andy & Tiffani.
They moved to Nebraska 10 years ago. November 2005 she Don & Sanni drove out here to do a craft fair, was so great to see her again. Miss her like crazy.

The Piano Man


Wanted to share this picture I took of Robin, the golden glow was just the sunset behind my gause drapes. I had noticed from across the room a week earlier what a good profile shot that would be while he was doing his practice. I tried to sneek over and snap a couple pics. How he could hear the gentle hum of the camera turning on, I don't know. (he is suppose to be concentrating on playing) Well I just said in my "STERN MOTHER VOICE" just keep playing and forget that I am over here snapping away, after all you owe me .... you mothers know the drill.
Well it was all wotrth it. Very happy with the results. I also had these printed at an on line photo developer www.scrapbookpictures.com you can get custom sizes and special finishes. I had a 12x8 print with a metalic finish made and framed it for the livingroom. Well that is my share for the day. Oh well except the weather has taken a turn back toward winter, calling for SNOW down to 2000 ft. That might be at our house. Well hope you all have a great day.

My crocus almost done blooming !!

Spring is in the air, I hear it !!

The birds.... I hear all kinds of different birds. That tells me it is "SPRING" a few of my crocus are blooming too. Sorry for those of you in the midwest. But spring will arrive for you too.
Well once I figured out how to log in (???)again and where to go to write a post (!!!???) OK , so I am new at this, not much of a "Tecky" as Carma called me. Well the day is passing me by so better get going and hit it head on.
Hope you all have a great day. Until later.......

I am a new Blogger


It has happened, I have gotten drawn into the "Blogger" world. It started with just occasionally reading a blog, to now I have to read my favs everyday. Do I have an addictive personality? Well that just depends on who you ask.

I have been enjoying the Scrapjacked challenges since I first heard about it. So for today guess I will just post a picture of my latest layout.
