So my Granddaughter Torrie went to her Pageant this past weekend and of course we took like 200 pictures LOL! I am so excited to do the pages now. My son Todd was her escort he was dressed in a suit for the formal competition. He looked so nice and Torrie was in her formal dress so pretty. The picture below is the 2 of them together and of course more pictures to come. LOL! I am such a proud mom and Grandma of course.  My daughter was beside herself. It gave a break from everyday life and a way to dream. Torrie didn’t win the Pageant but she really had fun and enjoyed the hotel pool LOL! She won a trophy for participating and was so happy to get it she didn’t care if she won. And of course we told her she did a wonderful job. She did everything she was asked to do and didn’t get scared or stumble or freeze so she did awesome.  Her Uncle Todd bought a sash and crown so she knew she did a good job. She was in heaven.  Read more... (306 words, 1 image, estimated 1:13 mins reading time)

Hi everyone hope you had a good 4th of July. I went scrapin last weekend and was having computer issues all week. Then the Holiday was kinda busy with company and such. The computer was tired or the internet had an attitude. Not sure which but was very stressful. Anyway I got like 27 pages done for my Scrapbooks. I had so much fun. Went to my friend Carols on Fri. night and stayed until Sun bout 2:30. We accomplished a lot that’s for sure. I did older pics and some new ones. I did some kind of simple pages and some pretty pages. By simple I mean a couple Easter pics with the stickers. By pretty ones I mean like 1 picture on the page with really pretty printed paper, ribbon, flowers, and mulberry paper. The 2 I have to post on here tonight are 2 of the pretty pages I did enjoy!!

So I placed one of my Pre made scrapbook albums on Rileyyardsales.com a local Ft. Riley yard sale website. I have had a lot of lookers so far no sale yet. I think I am going to put some of my Crafts on there too see how they do. My Angels and Mr. and Mrs Claus just may sell. Fingers crossed. I have to start somewhere right? I am going to have a yard sale in a couple weeks and I will advertise on their site also. I will have some of my Crafts and Scrapbooks in the yard sale too. I am thinking about putting together some really pretty 8×8 albums to sell too. I will post pictures of them when I get them done and let you know how it goes. Here is a sample of the album and the crafts I am trying to sell.

So I am sorry I know I said I moved the office and I would be on more but I had a friend emergency.

My best friend got a severe infection and her sugar went up and she was very lethargic and very sick for a bit. She was in ICU for 3 days and is now doing better today she is going to have to jump a few more hurdles and get a little more info on diabetes and what she needs to do to keep track. BUT!! WOW!!! She is at least better. I almost lost my friend last Tues. night and was very scared there for a little bit. I am glad she is doing better. She is my best friend, crafting partner and Scrapbooking pal. So I can’t wait for her to be at 100% so we can start scrapin again. Love ya DD.
