Sorry No Pictures Today...
I want to talk about my blog and the negative comments
someone is anonymously leaving.
I am going to get very personal here.
I am not the most positive person in this world
but I am trying to change my attitude.
I have some really bad stuff happen to me in my 35 years I have been in this world.
Everyday is a struggle for me. But I just take one day at a time.
Because I am working on changing, I am trying to only put positive
thoughts in my life. This blog is a place where I can share my artwork
which is a positive outlet for me.
So I am asking for everyone to ONLY leave positive comments Please.
This will help my changing & healing process.
and keep me sane!!!
Thank You
Yesterday I had a visit from UPS and I will have some cards
to share with my viewers later today.
Have a Blessed and Wonderful Day!!

Scrapbook Meetup....
2 page Layout
We had so much fun last night at our weekly Scrapbook Meet Up!
We talked about everything possible
shared stories & had a blast!!
Here's the 2 page layout I finished....
it took longer then I planned.
I had so many pictures of the kids swimming in
the pool and really did not know what do
with all those pictures. So I cropped them way down!
The Scrapbook Kit I used is Stampin' up!
But it is retired. It's called Party Pieces.
It was from the 2006-2007 SU catalog!
I also used chipboard letters
I had to trace them on DSPaper and cut them out!
The pictures for this layout were from a vacation we took
with my Dad & Step Mom Linda!
The kids were really little.
Madeline was 5, Mac 4 & Myles was 2!!
from 2002!!
So you can see I am REALLY behind
on my scrapbooking but who isn't!!
Scrapbooking these pictures makes me miss
my kids when they were little!
& how they grow up so FAST!!
