She really likes going to school. Sometimes I think it is overwhelming everything that goes on in 1 day LOL!. Last week she had a really tough time with the timing. She wasn’t used to getting up so early and wow was she a bear at the end of the day but I think she may get all that worked out in a couple of weeks. She said she has already found a boy in her class that she wants to date when she gets older. LOL! Mommy of course was like, “well I think that is gonna be a long time from now”. She does really good in class, she is very smart and catches on to things fairly easy. Some of the other kids have to catch up to her and a couple others. Yay!! Just hope she doesn’t get bored. Well I guess we will see how it goes. Here is her one morning dressed and ready for school. She packs a lunch so she can have what she wants to eat I guess the school lunches don’t look appealing to her. Can’t say I blame her. At least she likes fruits and veggies and takes those for lunch.  Read more... (207 words, 1 image, estimated 50 secs reading time)

My Granddaughter started Kdg this week.  I cannot believe she is such a big girl. WOW!! She looks so big walking in the school with her backpack. Of course all month I have been picking up the paper and stickers for her pages in the Scrapbook. I am so excited to do them. But I haven’t had a chance to do her Princess Scrapbook yet so I guess I need to work on that first. LOL!  Here is a few pictures of her first day. I am hoping to work on her  Princess Scrapbook this weekend. When I do the pages I’ll post them. Have a wonderful rest of the week everyone.  Read more...

I am still looking forward to doing the Pageant pages. Been kinda busy and haven’t had a chance to put them on Walgreens yet but plan on doing it on Sat when we get back. We are going to my sisters for a couple of days. They are having their Fair and my nephew is showing his calf and I think Torrie would enjoy the rides and all the animals.  Read more...

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)

These are the 2 I finished in my book of Torrie on Easter this year. She is getting to be such a big girl!

The page on the left has the pattern 12×12 paper for the background. Then I ran a piece of ribbon across the middle of the page on top of the mat I put center on the page. I then added the 2 pictures. Then just a Cricut cut flower and some foam Easter stickers.  Read more... (138 words, 2 images, estimated 33 secs 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!! I will post more ltr.  Read more... (243 words, 2 images, estimated 58 secs reading time)
