Inauguration Day!

I fell in love with this layout that ANGMAG55 created for my Holiday challenge at Divine Digital. I felt like I just had to share with all of you the wonderful job that she did in creating this masterpiece! I would just like to say THANK YOU to Angmag55 for creating and for posting this in the gallery and for allowing me to share it here with you. What a wonderful reminder of the past, a glimpse of the present and HOPE for the future!

She also did some research and listed three very inspirational speeches as part of her post and if you would like to see and read all of it, you may do so HERE. While you are there, please register in the forum and leave her some love in the comments section.

Swing!

Here is one that I made for the "One Letter Challenge" at Scraphead. I used photos of my grandchildren swinging from the branches of our oak tree with an awesome Quick Click template, "Feature Five" by Elizabeth Weaver at DSP. The background paper and flower are from my kit "Amor Joven".

You can pick up my kit in the store at Scraphead HERE and if you would like to purchase this awesome template, you will find it HERE. Be sure to check out all of Elizabeth's designs while you are there!

Dog Days!!

Ok...so I have been working on some things and I walked out into the back yard for a few moments to get a handle on everything that I have going through my head. Buster met me halfway across the patio with his usual happy, lappie welcome and almost knocked me over in his excitement to have someone join him in his realm. Dogs are such wonderful therapy for whatever ails you, so I played with him for a few moments to pass the time.

Now, Buster is not a small dog! He is a beautiful Chocolate Lab and I really can't believe that I wasn't thrilled about having him take up home here. Buster actually belongs to my son, Greg, and he came to live with hubby and me three years ago when Greg couldn't keep him at his apartment building. Now... I can't imagine life at this house without him!

Anyway, as I watched him trot (and I do mean trot) around the yard, I was reminded of a layout I had created of Buster several months ago and that reminded me of a kit that I had created in order to do the layout! Well, I came back inside and sat down at the PC and decided to put some of that kit together as a freebie for all of you. This kit was sold in the store at 3Scrapateers so it is possible that some of you may have it. But for those of you that don't it will be a nice treat!

Here is the layout that I had created of Buster....It's plain and simple....just like me!

And here is the freebie that I put together for you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Christmas Fun!

Just wanted to share a few photos of Christmas in South Mississippi! I was even able to sneak in a photo of my Nephew! We don't see him very often since the loss of my niece in June, so being able to see him and get at least one photo was a real treat!

First there's the tree(before the kids found the gifts underneath)!

Greg(Son) and Alana

Taylor and Wall-E


and Christopher(my Nephew) on his new John Deer Tractor!
Now, there is a story behind this photo! I asked Christopher if I could take a photo of him and he said, "No! No picture!" So, then I asked him if I could take a picture of his new tractor and he said, "Sure!". SO...This is not a photo of Christopher...it is a photo of his tractor! HA! Kids are so funny sometimes!

It's not the end.....

Oh my goodness! can you believe that we are at the end of another year already? 2008 has not been the best year for my family! But, when I look back, it wasn't been the worst year either. There have been allot of wonderful things that have happened this past year...even in spite of the tragedies.

But it's not the end! It's the beginning of a whole new year! I hope that everyone has a wonderful beginning to this new year and that the wonderful continues on throughout!

To honor the END of 2008, I have this little freebie for you! I do hope that this is something that you will enjoy and use!
