Photos and a Page

I have some more photos of some tulips that are growing near my house. I have said before how much I LOVE tulips and I always take lot of photos of them in the spring.

Here is a photo of some plum blossoms that are growing on a bush in my neighbors yard.

This coming Saturday is National Scrapbook Day and I am going to a crop at my LSS. They are having a page contest in which the only requirement was to use 5 photos. Here is my entry.

Well time to go start putting some supplies together for Saturday.

Have a great evening!!

Miracles Abound

This year is full of surprises for us. If you take a look down on the right side of my blog you will see that I have added another pregnancy ticker. That's right we have another grandchild due to be born before the end of 2009. Can you believe it 4 in one year?

Kayla and Nick are expecting a little one in December. Danika will have another sibling and Kaya will get to be a big sister. Congrats to all of you.

I guess our kids are either all very fertile or just trying to make their Mother feel older than her age. LOL

We are excited to have so many blessings happening in our family.

Have a great evening!!

Working for the Weekend

Yes I know that we should live each day to the fullest and not always think about the weekend, but I am so excited for National Scrapbook Day that I am looking forward to the weekend.

My friends, Lesli and ,and I are going to Legacies (LSS) for a crop on Saturday. I have missed out on National Scrapbook Day for the last few years. It will be full of laughs and hopefully get lots done. I will be getting things ready for Saturday all week, planning and gathering supplies so that I can get the most possible pages done. I have my page done for the page contest that they are doing and I need to take it in and drop it off.

Oh, it looks like it is time to go to work so off I go!

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I have had enough snow. It is April 24th and I wake up to snow! I know it is not much and it won't last long, but I want SUNSHINE and WARMTH!!!

Have a great Friday. I hope it is sunny and warm where you are!!

Baby Shower Invitations

I have finished the baby shower invitations for my daughters baby shower. I will get them in the mail tomorrow. I just thought that I would share them with you. The colors in the photo are not accutate, the are purple and pink.

I also created a card with a cute little onesie on it. The stamp is from the $1 bin at Michaels and the papers are Kaiser kraft. I really like the way it turned out.

That's all for today. Have a great evening.

Baby photos

Yesterday my best friends daughter had a baby girl.

Here are some photos of Bridget Janae:

Welcome to the world, baby Bridget!!!!!

Tulips are blooming

One of my favorite flowers of the spring are tulips. I take numerous photos of them each and every spring. There is an abandoned house in the block up from my house and it has some of the most beautiful tulips growing out in the lawn. The ones in my banner are those tulips. Mine are up but have not started to bloom yet. I am excited for them to start blooming. I want to get some more this fall and plant them. The one that I am looking for is called Parrot Estella Rynveld and it looks like this:

I call this the Twilight tulip and I want to have some of these in my garden. I have not been able to find them yet but I will keep looking.

Here are a few photos of tulips that I have taken.

I even did a kaleidoscope with some tulip photos.

 

If you have never created a kaleidoscope with photos you really should give it a try.

Well I am off now to check in on my hubby. He is starting a stained glass quilt block for my Mom for Mothers day.

Have a great weekend.

What's on your Mind?

I don't usually participate in sketch challenges, but the one that is going on right now at Page Maps just looked fun, so I got busy tonight and did this page:

 

Thanks for the inspiration Page Maps.

Hoppy Easter

Hoppy Easter one and all.  We had a great day with family and are just chillin' for the remainder of the day! I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter with you family and friends.

Have a wonderful week!!

Fantastic Saturday

If yesterday was Good Friday, does that make today Fantastic Saturday?? In my world it does, hence the title of today's post.

Just a quick posting of a few photos that I took this morning. I was sitting in my recliner surfing my daily blogroll and noticed a movement outside on the fence. I looked up and there was a squirrel running along the fence. I quick grabbed my camera and went outside. I got a few good photos of him running around. He went from the fence to the tree, to the top of my house, to the tree to the garage, back onto the fence, into the tree behind the garage and then finally on the the neighbors play structure. I had so much fun watching him and listening to the birds sing.

I am off to get ready to go with the grandkids to an Easter Egg Hunt.

Enjoy your Saturday and have a blessed Easter.
