Trike lessons not needed

To have more to do than eat out, play, swim, beach, tv and sight seeing Melissa bought a trike for Hannah during vacation. A good time to learn for a Boston kid. She learned in 5 seconds. Some mishaps but nothing stopped her.

Speed Scrap

I accidently found a web site that had something called a Speed Scrap. It started at 9pm and gave instructions of what to do every 10-15 minutes. No pictures amd no freebies, just your own stash. I tried it with some of my supplies that I tagged recently with ShoeBox and here is my result. It's Sami looking sweet as usual. Took me less than an hour. A miracle for me.

Still Catching UP....I think it will always be the case. Anyway, this was a weekend, the first, that Missy and Erik left town, and myself and T-Pop took care of the "babies." Hannah had a gym class and we all went. Boy! did they work out!!!

Catching up

I am so far behind chronologically on my paper scrapping and want to catch up. Here is one I did this weekend from 2007. Hannah is now 3 and still crazy for water games, pools, playing anything. Click on image to see it larger.

Still more Pages using type.

This is Alexandra, my grand daughter and her mom, my daughter in law Rhia.  They are enjoying a time in Florida this past February.  I did this layout as a part of the course in digi scrapbooking course I am taking.  Not the different fonts, the type overlay, the quotes and the flourishes on the type.  All done by hand or should I say by me using the tools of the computer.  (Click on it to see it bigger)

The Journal updated.

Well, now I finally have time to pack. On Wednesday,  I am off to Sarasota for several weeks. Missy and the girls (Hannah,3 and Sami,1) will be joining me for 2 weeks and then I am going to Boston for a week to babysit while they go to San Francisco to a wedding Fri-Mon.. and then back to Sarasota to recover alone, with my Cricut until September 20.  Maybe later.  The DH is doing a trip to Shanghai and Tokyo while I am basking in the sun.  Ha!!  

I have an entry in the cutterscreek embossing poll.  Maybe I'll get some votes.  Should I vote for myself??  

Hannah's 3rd Birthday Invitation

My daughter is planning a party with a magician, and asked me to come up with a bunny popping out of a hat.  This is it, I made 30!!!  What do you think?  Used the Cricut for the cutting.  

Cuddlebug Embossing die set"Build a Flower"

Here is a page I created for a contest using the Cuddlebug embossing folder.  The petals are very large so it took tons of thought to come up with this.  What do you think?

Learning More Photoshop

Well well,  Today I had my one to one at the Apple Store and learned iChat.  Now I need someone other than family members to do it with.  My aol name is mamaladearest.  I did it with my good friend the other night and loved it and now know it even better.  Also got Leopard and now am ready to back up and Download this phenomenal OS.  I'll be in touch or maybe we can iChat soon.
