OOPS BUSY MORNING!!!

First off, I want to say YES, There is a HUGE typo on my parents Layout. LOL That is so depressing. I worked so hard on that one. LOL SOO I told my mom.. I am just going to pass it off as an oops. I am not one of them anal people that has to start all over and then readjust everything.. It just shows that I am human and not perfect no matter how hard I try. LOL

First CT Layout

Well I did my first CT layout for Bonnie:) I love how it turned out. :) LOL I can't wait till tomorrow I have post it now. This is my Cousin and her Daughter at Christmas time... She just got off work and she is an RN so that will explain the scrubs. I think they look just FAB together. Everytime I lifted the camera up her daughter would just give me the biggest smiles.. I think that is the making of a model.. :) LOL

First Let me say THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH for all your comments ;) and I can tell by all the downloads that you must love the coursages as much as I do :) Also thank you for all the comments reguarding the CT!!! (Creative Team) (if my family is reading this.. It means I have been accepted to help someone promote thier business and designs:) I get to be creative for them. :)... Yes I have alot of family that reads my blog too :) mostly to see how we are doing:)

Also thank you so much to VAL for sending people in my direction :) that was really great of you:) Val does an EXCELLENT job with ALL of her designs:) i look forward to going over there each day and seeing what she has been up to :)(LINK in sidebar :)




Sooo moving on.. I would love to share with you a few layouts but since they are for some of my family I can't ruin it by showing them.. BUT!!!! I do have a few others USING my phototography photos from my photo Blog(Link in sidebar) I figured since I was now on a CT I should actually show what I can do. LOL AND use my kits once.. LOL.Here they are:



Credits go to me :) This is my Farmin on the farm kit I used. And the words were from my Boys will be boys words. :)

Credits go to me for my Lilac Heritage kit, my coursages, and my Dot Heritage word plates.

Both of these layouts feature my son and his friend.. they were AWESOME subjects for me and helped me out ALOT :) My son is getting so good at being my model he already knows how to pose and to not smile when I am doing my photography stuff.. LOL :) but he knows when i am just snapin for home pics.. LOL :) He is my little turd:)

6th Installment of Golden Moments:)

SOOO I have class today and I have more things to get to you.. I just wanted to say I spent alot of time play yesterday, Since my connection was awful. I just have to say the newsletter freebies are going to be something you want to be having!!! Especially if you like the Farmin on the Farm kits... (Hint-They come in a few different colors and they have a motor.) LOL :) ANYWAY that will be on Saturday, Sooo if you haven't already Sign up for my subsription at the bottom of the page and wait for the email to verify your address if you dont put your addy in right then you wont get the subscription. But I am probably changing it to every other Saturday:) Its hard to get my photography, school work and time in with the family if... NOT ENOUGH time in the day sometimes. LOL

Download Golden Moments Objects

I really really hope you like this kit. I am planning on doing more sort of like this.. but you have to bear with me if I skip days. I may get to working so hard on one thing I dont have time to stop and get something up.. Like Last week. I found many things and wanted to get them up but then I found more things and didn't get it uploaded in time.

******REMINDER... If you have friends that might like my kits tell them.. I am soon going to start taking the archived kits and retire them. My 4shared account is filling up and I am going to be making more room.... So If you haven't already gotten something you better hurry before its too late. :) I am aiming for 1 week.. :) THANK YOU:)

******Also if you have kids, Grandkids that play school sports or organized sports.. LEave me a comment and let me know what colors. I am thinking of making a sports series and make School colored kits!!!! Let me know which sport too so I dont leave someone out. LOL :)

******Thank you to everyone who leaves me comments.. I love to read them and they do make my day. They make a cloudy day and beautiful day. THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and with all my love ;)!!!

Rambles

Alright I want to start today by saying I am glad I could help you Val:) I loved to make the blinkie :)

Next I want to address a question that was asked about St. Patty's Day.

Thank you loads for all the tags Leslie. Do you mind if I ask a question? I've
noticed since we moved to Canada last year that here and in the US a lot of
people refer to St Patty's Day. Being a Dubliner born and bred, I'd never heard
it called that before. We call it St Patrick's or St Paddy's Day. So I'm
puzzled, coz in Ireland, Paddy is short for Patrick, while Patty/Patti is short
for Patricia. Any ideas where the St Patty's term came from? Just curious, I've
asked a lot of people and no one seems to know.

In MY OPINION ONLY... I think as you stated the MALE gender base is probably why. In the US Patrick is the LONG very of PAT . We dont use Paddy. Pat=Patrick. And to keep it CUTE or to add that Female touch we change it to PATTY's :) I am pretty sure this is a good hypothesis, does everyone agree? Lets us know in the comments section whether you agree or if there is another of the correct answer.. LOL :)

Well On to bigger and better things. I charged my battery last night for my camera, It was dead. Soooo many pictures so little battery time left. LOL :) Anyway, so I HOPE to get them up on my photo blog this afternoond sometime. I have 2 really short papers to write for school and so I need to get them done, I have procrastinated toooo long and I dont like to procrastinate with school. LOL

This weekend we also moved Little Kyle's Room upstairs. We took the door off the room, because I knew there was most definately going to be an issue with slamming fingers in the door and slamming the door every other minute. Anyway, he is all moved in and he slept there ALL NITE!!! And then he woke up this morning and went to the living room and turned on his cartoons!!! HOW SMART!!! I knew he could do it. But that was just the first day! I am a little scared that he will get into something when he wakes up. But I guess I have to let him make a mistake before I can worry about him to much, I have to remember we learn from our mistakes, I have to trust a little more (he is almost 3) and He is growing up. Curtis slept in his own at 2 and I dont remember worrying this much. But we got through it. LUCKILY, when Kyle wakes up I can hear his footsteps for Miles!!! He's skrawny little turd, but he has LEAD FEET!!! so I know when he wakes up. (im a light sleeper).

So here is the next part to my Golden Moments kit :)They are the boarders and Special Thanks to Hummie(link in the sidebar) for the boarder Templates! :) THANK YOU!!!

SORRY!!!

I appologize I have been out with my son to visit people today... so I never got the freebie for today up.. I am going to postpone it all for tomorrow too.. I have alot pictures and I need to get them posted to my photo blog(link in side bar).

Also, I made a new blinkie for my other favorite blogger :) Here it is:)

Its simple but it gets the point across. NO hotlinking I think you all know about that. in a few days I am going to delete it then put it under a encrypted code so It can't be hotlinked so you may as well not steal my bandwidth.. LOL :) just right click on it then select "Save picture As" and then save it to your computer. Then upload it to a Picture hosting site like Photobucket(link in side bar)(Its Free) And then you can upload it there and use the HTML code to put in your blog :) easy enough. :)

I LOVE YOU VAL!!! :)

Can everyone please take a short minute to stop by CONNYB's place and give her some love she has not been feeling the best and I would LOVE it if you spread some love to her.. (her link is in the side bar also)

Alright Now I am going to spend some much needed time with my hubby :)

I LOVE YOU ALL :) And I hope you know how much each and everyone of you mean to me :) THANK YOU for all the GREAT COMMENTS!!! I NEEDED them!!!! :)

THANK YOU to everyone that left comments yesterday.. I really mean it when I say I appreciate all of you. :) Well, Whatever my problem was lately.. I have decided to blame the husband. LOL :) He knows he gets blamed for it all anyway.. :) what are men for right? LOL

Well, I am trying to get a freebie up here but still my connection is doing wierd and wacky things. I think its because its a little icky outside. But I am trying.. :) This is the Third installment of "Golden Moments" It really is a mega kit!! I am not going to send out a newsletter today because I have been working so much on this mega kit, I just dont have any odds and ends to send right now. :) I hope that is okay with everyone ;) Ya know I have over 150 people on the subscription list!!! WOW!!! I looked at that this morning and I was AMAZED!!

School in a few

Could you please stop by Conny's blog and send her some love. She is not feeling the best and could use some well wishes. :) THANKS SO MUCH!!!

Well, I have class soon. I should look over my notes too so I know what we are doing today. I just had to get on here and say what a great day it is in the world of digiscrapping. You should check out Amy's list today! Its a big one :) She has a bunch of great tips/hints of freebies each day. Her link is in my sidebar. You should also check out Val her stuff is GREAT. I love going over there each day see what surprise she has in store for us. She does have the greatest stuff. Her link is in my sidebar too. :) If you stop by tell her that I love blue.. LOL :) She knows that but I'm trying to drop a hint in her direction.. LOL :) She is the sweetest!

I dont really have a whole lot to say today... Or yet:) Im still tired... but Im up, showered and drinking my caffeine. LOL

I do have something to share with you though. I am working on a kit :) and I hope it turns out large.. I have alot so far.. but I think this is one of them Versitile kits... SOOO I am going to work on that most of today.. (until Lost is on.) I am going to give small parts of this kit at a time. Then the Other experiments that are cool but dont fit in the kit are going in the newsletter :)

If you haven't signed up for the newsletter, the sign up is at the bottom of my blog and then you will get an email to verify your Subscription and you have to verify your email addy. To give you an idea what is in the newsletter, I try to put a Bunch of grab bag freebies in there anywhere from 5+ things... If you want them use em if not delete em :) I also put links to some helpful sites/tutorials/brushes/textures... I also have a list of themes for kits I have thought about making...

I have also been thinking instead of mulicolred kits.. I may just focus on 2 colors for a whole month.. that way you can mix and match everything I create... does that sound like an idea? I love veritile objects and something that can be mixed and mixed and mixed is more for your "Buck" even tho I am actually talking about time! Does that make sense? LOL I am confusing myself... LOL

Well I will explain better when I get the first part of my kit up.. :) Anyway.. i have to go read my notes before class :) HOpe this finds you all well, and have a wonderful, warm, shiney Day :)

HUGS!

Another Day

Well, I had a big day today.. Erin woke up late for work (he blames Gore for the time Change) And so Curtis got a stay at home for free day. I explained to him this is not going to happen all the time or again for that matter. So we went to town and went for a walk, we seen my cousin and her daughter out for a walk so they came over and we all walked together. :) It was fun! We then came home and we all(cept Curtis) took a nap.. was wonderful until I woke up with a headache, I HATE THOSE!!!!

Alright.. First I want to thank everyone for the wonderful, comments and thank you so very much for all the well wishes. :) Makes me VERY happy to know you all care:) I am not worried about myself tho.. I am more worried about the boys. I HATE it when they get sick and you can't do anything to help them except medicine and loving!!! Wish we could ask them things and they would understand and vise versa. It will happen soon enough I know, but that doesn't make it any better right now.

Family Quilt Written by Thena Smith
Our family is a like an heirloom quilt

With each piece of fabric a special part

Of our family's history

And of each other's heart.
Some of us are calicos

Bright and colorful and fun.

Others may be more like silk

Striving always to be number one.
Just like a quilt needs a design

And colors both soft and bold

Our family quilt has need for both

If our story is to be told.
All kinds of pieces are sewn in

With stitches large and small

And in our family quilt of love

We need them one and all!

HELLO :)

Well, I have a few papers to write.. for school, thats the worst part of school.. I can learn, I can take notes, I can attend each class, I can ask questions.. but when I have to write papers... THEN I DONt like it!!! LOL :) I know what an attitude... But I am serious.Who in thier right mind wants to write a paper about things they dont really care about. LOL I could write about my family, heritage, scrapbooking, digi, hybrid, gardening, being a mom.. But other than that.... I sort of don't have that enthusiasim for it. LOL

Here is the kit I was working this morning while my internet was down.. Its really just some stuff I was playing with. I am still learning all the dodads on PSE :) and having fun with it! :)
So here is PURPLE CURLS:




Cheap Lens Hood I LOVE the links that Mrs. Miles puts up so I have to share some of them every now and again. her link is in the side bar. :) She has a lovely blog you should check it out:)

UPDATE and FREEBIE! :)

First Check here and look at my layout!!! Its on Barb's blog Since I used her peach blossom elments.. :) YAY :) THANK YOU BARB!!!!! :)

Summer is coming I feel it in the air!!! :) I hope its not a Drought of a Summer and I hope it is not a STORM EVERYDAY type summer... I hope for an Equal amount of both :) I love the days for walking and I love for the days to lay in bed and listen to the shake and the calmness of the rain. :) ITS COMING!! :) YAY!!!

Update on the boys. :) Curtis is the smarty pants.. We have parent teacher conferences tonight.. I know he is a good student and Look forward to seeing what the teacher has to say. The last time the teacher couldn't say enough about how polite he was compared to the rest of the class.:) I know we have that down good :) Now we just need him to stop talking about the computer and Xbox games ALL THE TIME!!! Imagine if you will Curtis coming up and talking to you about "There was this one guy by the building and he shot an AT4 at me and missed and shot him with my sniper rifle.." Yes you are all thinking violent game for a young child but he has been drilled that its just a game and there are some people out there that are bad and Army, Navy, and Marines are taking care of them and protecting us. And so wouldn't you know it... He wants to be the Army when he grows up. :) It scares me but makes me really proud at the same time... He wants to take care of us he says. He is a VERY smart kid :) We love him very much!

Kyle, well i should have to say too much you know how an almost 3 year old acts. Like he pays all the bills and runs the show. He is really big into washing his hands now. He will find any excuse to get to open the cupboard and step up and turn on that water... and he gets mad when its time to get down. I mean how long can you wash your hands anyway? He wont let you help and he certainly will not get down. So its been a struggle. He did have a Potty free day a few days back.. Well, no such luck since. I think we are going to try the no milk after 6:00 like we did with Curtis. (Milk makes you have bladder spasms and so when you are young it is hard to control) He talks Pretty full sentences now, growing up so fast. Other than that, He is a momma's boy.. :) And is such a hugger:)We love him Very much!

Sassy, Well of course she is not one of the boys.. but she is like a daughter anyway. She is about full grown now and loves to play with the boys.. She is such a helper.. when I drop some hamburger on the floor she is the first one there to clean it up.. :) What a good girl. When the boys wake up in the morning, She will jump on my bed and lick my face to wake me up. When someone is at the house, She will bark to alert the whole house that we have company. LOL When company comes in the house, she will let them know we are all here by growling at them. LOL :) She is a good dog really. :) she loves the boys and plays with them.. and sometimes they get rough with her and she gets hurt.. :( she hurt her leg this last week, she still uses it.. but I think she pulled a muscle. Not sure how but she is not whiney about it and she still runs when she goes outside.. so I am pretty sure she just pulled a muscle. We love her very much :)


Erin, Well we are doing well, Erin just got another cold and now I am wondering if I should give him some money to stay at a hotel, so as not to infect my kids again. LOL HAHAHA :) No, we would be lost without Daddy around. :) I dont think there is a better Daddy in the world(I know you all would disagree to some point) LOL But for us.. there is no better man:) We love him very much!

I HAVE to thank EVERYONE for the wonderful comments on my Farmin on the Farm kit.. :) I am so Happy!!! I LOVE the response I have gotten.. and Hope to get you some more goodies:) YOU ARE MY INSPIRATION I can't say it enough.. You make me want to do more. ;) I may sneak a few things in my newsletter for the Farmin kit :)
