Too much fun!!!!  We pretty much covered the entire spectrum of crafting shops yesterday - wool shops, stamping store, scrapbook stores and knitting (yarn) store.  I'm so excited about my new stash of pretty wool.........

Today will be a nice, laid back, relaxing day.  We're staying home and crafting the entire day!  Couldn't ask for a better way to spend my birthday. 

Enjoy your day!

Scrappin' Sunday - this is my first attempt at a 2-page digital layout.  (using SU's MDS)  It's a very simple layout,  but I discovered it was more time consuming than I had thought it would be.  I need to work on figuring out some ways to make it go faster :)

Well, I only got one of the things done yesterday that I had planned on.  Got the grocery shopping done and that was it.  Not sure why, but I had absolutely no energy yesterday - spent most of the day reading a book.  Guess I needed a rest.   Hopefully I can get a little more accomplished today.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - this is just one of several sample Save the Date ideas I made for Jeff & Sara to choose from. I did this in SU's MDS.

We're celebrating Deb & Emily's birthday tonight - that means chicken and noodles for dinner. That also means I need to get the mess cleaned up that I made last night trying to get birthday gifts finished.

Have a great day!

Project Sunday - thought I would show you my Christmas newsletter. I did the entire thing using MDS (My Digital Software) from SU. Good thing my kids have something fun going on during the year or I wouldn't have much to put in a newsletter!

Going to Sherry's this afternoon for our annual Christmas get together. Yea! It will be nice to take a little time off from Christmas crafting for an evening of fun with friends.

Have a great day!

More photos today - I did these simple photo collages with SU's MDS program.

The wedding was held at this lovely home of freinds of Tracy & Tony's. The yard was beautiful although we thought the trees would have been a little more colorful, it didn't really matter. It was a great place for a wedding. Jeff, Sara & I were privileged to be house guests here - it was great! Ben & Becca were great hosts!

The Bride - what else can I say. I was a little teary at some parts of the day but restrained myself from sobbing :) I got to help her get dressed and found myself a little teary as I was doing up the buttons on her dress! And of course there were parts of the ceremony that left me a little teary! But Tracy was oh so beautiful and the ceremony was awesome. They did a great job planning the wedding!

The happy couple. I am so happy for them both. Tony is a great guy and I'm glad he's now 'officially' a part of our family!

Crop day yesterday was great fun - I actually got quite a bit done. The food was awesome - Tamara brought a delicious chicken/dressing casserole dish, and we had salad, garlic bread and some yummy cheesecake for dessert. Wow - those girls feed me well! We missed you Karen!

Today I have no commitments, no place I have to be, no class - oh my! I guess I'm ready for a bit of a break as it's been a little hectic, and I have another full week coming up. I do have some things I need to get done, but I'm going to take the day as it comes. Maybe a little r & r today.

Have a great day!

Scrappin' Sunday - a quick digital page with some random pictures from our drive over Grand Mesa yesterday. I used SU's My Digital Software - one of the features I like in this program is that you can 'color match' things to your photo - i.e.-I matched the colored strips to parts of the photos on this page.

What a great day we had yesterday! It was a gorgeous day for a drive! The colors are just beginning to change on the Mesa so we got a little of the 'summer look' along with a bit of fall. To make our day complete we had time to stop at The Scrappy Moose in Delta - Hi Carol! Have to apologize for interrupting Carol's class, but she got me inspired by the project she was teaching - (spent way more than my budget!) but I have some cool new 7 Gypsies stuff to play with!

Today I'm going to get a little yard work done, then finish up some projects while I watch the football game - Go Broncos!

Happy scrappin'

Scrappin' Sunday - a digital page. This was a template that I downloaded for SU's digital software (MDS). All I had to do was drag and drop the picture. How easy is that! (I wish I had changed the colored strip to blue though - think it would have looked better with the picture.

More yard work today.

"If you water it and it dies, then it's a plant. If you pull it up and it still comes back it's a weed!"

Enjoy your day!
