    Wow! So much has happpened since I was last on.  I'm not sure where to begin.

    My mother is living with us now, not just for a visit.  She finally conceded that staying with us was the best place for her to be.  Amen!

    We have just bought a house in Ocala, FL.  Has more room for all of us. Melanie is excited because the house has a built in pool out back.  She and my husband have been enjoying the pool a lot in the past few days.

On the crafting side of my life,  hmmmmm let me see.

    I have been making my own smash books, using left over cardboard that I get whenever I buy cardstock, or even using cereal boxes.  I cover them with designer paper, and then decorate each page any way I would like.  I figure that I can use one for a cookbook.  One is for my granddaughter, Audreanna, for her 15th birthday.  One is for Melanie for her graduation pictures.   etc.

    Melanie will be graduating on June 9th.  We are so very proud to be her grandparents, she has been a delight to have with us for the past 8 years.  She has kept us young.  Yeah!

    Well, that's about it for now, I will try to do better at keeping my Blog up to date. 

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a great time creating!

Hello All

I am so very happy that you have joined my blog.  I will try very hard to keep my blog up with info on the ups and downs of my creations.
I love to create cards and am now working on scrapbooking, which I find a lot of fun doing.
I have been a Stampin'UP demonstrator for over 18 years, with two small breaks in between.
My husband of almost 25 years and I are raising our next to oldest grandchild, having already raised her sister.  I believe she is what keeps us young!
I am working on a scrapbook for my newest grandbaby and will be posting some of the pages by the end of this week.  Hope everyone enjoys them.
The next will be finishing my Oldest grandchild's wedding album, and starting a new album for my upcoming great grand baby.   And of course, I have to make cards, lots of cards.
Enjoy the rest of your week.  bfn
