No School !

With this winter storm moving through we just cancelled today ~ yay !! I know we have days to make up but I'd much rather drive them to school in the heat in June than some of these dangerous snowy/icey roads !!! Now I'm going to go lay down I get another day to rest from my lumbar block on Wed.

Have a wonderful day everyone !!

Well it has been awhile ....

Last year was not a good year for the most part. My Dad was sick and in and out of the hospital and much to my dismay died at the beginning of December. To say I am ok is not even close. I still cannot believe it and miss him so very much. Everyone says in time it gets better but I just am not seeing it right now..
I have been feeling a real need to start scrapping again ~ it's more important to me now than ever to save these memories for my kids for the future.
Yet another storm going through here... up to 10" of snow in the next 12 hours?? Really we haven't had enough already???? GRRRRR
Just waiting to see if I need to go fire up the bus. Or if I get to lay back down and sleep???

Ever seen a smiling goat?

I have one... My Miss Scarlett has an underbite so it looks like she is smiling when I look at her !!!!

Granny's Farm Scrapkit was used for this layout created by Charlie's Digiscraps available at DSO

Introducing my goats...

Really my goats are my pets... I started with Zach and Daniel and then added Scarlett and Scooter later... and they are so much fun :)

Gracie starts volleyball games this week .. 2 each week til Thanksgiving.She was moved up to the 6th grade team ... quite an accomplishment. Nik has Tiger Scouts this week and I'll be doing a trip with the band to the last football game on Friday I sure hope it doesn't get too cold by then !!

Ok so here is my layout using Granny's Farm by Charlie's Digiscraps available at DSO



Aren't they so cute !!

It HAS to warm up...

Last week was soooooo cold and I'm so not a cold weather person :) Oh well it is supposed to get up into the 60's at least a couple days this week that is better than the 40's !!!

While I've been holed up inside the house keeping warm I have been doing layouts... these two are from LP and 3 Dogs Designs at DSO ~ Dream Project

Wow... I actually did a few minor changes to my blog...

Ok nothing fancy but it's HUGE for me !!! I hope it looks a little more dressed up than it did ...midterms were yesterday... Gracie has all A's and Nik has all A's but needs improvement in his handwriting.. however it took me 15 minutes to read that from the teacher b/c her handwriting is HORRIBLE. So I'm thinking "pot ... kettle... black ??!!??" I mean at least he's 7 what's her excuse??

Ok on to a lighter topic.. finally was able to scrap.. I've been dragging... and running like crazy to the kids activities... and fighting off not feeling the best .. blah ... but this kit Changes created by Loucee Creations as DSO is just full of beautiful rich fall colors... you'll love it.

Here are my layouts using it ....

Really? I don't know how I make it through the week...

My energy is still non existent... It's so aggravating I have so much I need and want to get done but by the time I get home I'm so tired I get supper done and and dishes done.. kids and homework and showers... then I'm ready to pass out for the night..... patience I know patience.

It's been cold and rainy .. my bus broke down so I'm in a spare bus that is just aggravating me to no end... I hope they don't take forever to fix my bus. GRRR. This isn't going to be a good week I can tell. :(

Meanwhile I want to share a couple of layouts from the kids first day of school... it's using a kit called It's Elementary by Created by Jill at DSO
