Mosh Posh June Challenge

2009-06-14T09:21:00.000-07:00

Over on Mosh Posh's Blog they posted a challenge to use this cool vintage Delta Airlines Ad as inspiration for a layout or card

I loved the vintage AD and it inspired me to make this layout

I liked the whole layout design of the Ad and used that as inspiration...but I also kept with the same basic semi-muted colors, and I used the formula BLANK + BLANK = BLANK for my title. I hope you like my interpretation - and I used the January Mosh Posh Kit to create my layout - all items are from the kit except the car diecut (october Afternoon) and the Orange Alphas (American Craft Thickers - Chit Chat). You can see the challenge on the Mosh Posh blog http://mosh-poshkits.blogspot.com/

Rainbow Springs Park

2009-06-09T17:58:00.000-07:00

Today my darling daughter conned me into taking her and a couple of friends swimming at Rainbow Springs State Park. I didn't really want to go because I have been sick all week with bronchitus and I am suppose to avoid exposure to the sun with the meds I am taking. But I packed up a blanket, a book, and decidied I would relax in the shade for awhile so they could swim. WOW - I am so glad that I went - I have never been there before and frankly did not know that this place existed - and only 20 minutes from home!! Ok enough talking about it - I am going to let my pictures explain it. Just click on a picture to see it fullsize.

Isn't the water pretty??
Yep it is actually a River - but a natural spring fed river - cool clean water!!
Can you say BEAUTIFUL!!
Luckily we did not see any alligators!!
Such a lovely park
This is the main spring - 1000's of gallons of fresh clear water pumps out daily!!

Looking down the river
Across from the swimming area - so blue!!
Majestic old Oak trees
My favorite photo of the day!!
Crazy kids
Along the nature walk they have the most beautiful waterfalls

Just Gorgeous!!!

All I can say is WOW!!!! I never knew such a treasure existed and so close to my home - SWEET!!

I kind of lost track of things for awhile here - but I am going to try to get back to blogging again. I have lots of creations to share - too many for one post - so I will be adding a few each time I blog. But the biggest and best creation I have to share is that of my grandson Tyler William - he was born on Sunday May 17th (quite early) weighing 2lbs 15ozs. He is doing well, considering his size and prematurity. Would you like to see him???

Please Say A Prayer For This Family

2009-02-20T13:46:00.000-08:00

This is about a fellow scrapbooker - a very talented and caring lady ~Nikki.
On Tuesday April 29th, 2008, her daughter Ellie was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG); an incredibly aggressive and inoperable tumor in her brain stem. There is no known cure for this rare tumor and only a 10% survival rate.

Well this morning I awoke to read this message...
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2009 12:15 AM, CST
Our sweet Ellie Rose left this earth tonight at 9:15pm to go home to Jesus. She was surrounded by family and friends and so many who loved her. She raised her right hand to Heaven and I could feel God reach down and carry her safely to His kingdom, where I am confident that she was greeted by many fellow angels. She passed peacefully, while lying between her mama and dada. We love you, sweet little Ellena ~ you will be forever 5, forever whole and forever in our hearts until we meet again.

My heart just aches and I don't have the words to express my deep sorrow for this family - we want to help in a small way - and if you would like to help please follow this link to Pinky's Blog... http://blueyecicle.blogspot.com/
Any donation big or small would be extremely appreciated - even a dollar - it all adds up. I know times are hard for a lot of people right now - but this family really needs our prayers and our support. Thank you!!
