December Basic Grey Class

These are the layouts from the December Basic Grey class at the Scrapbook Oasis. Altantis is a great resort and if you ever get a chance to go to the island of Nasau, check it out. Next time we go, I am definatiely going to take advantage of the water parks!

Rebecca designed the next two layouts using the leftovers from the kits and here they are with my touches!

Don't look now but here is my Pat horseing around with the seal.

And finally pictures of my Anthony at Disney's California Advenure.

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve has tradtionally been spent with Patrick's family. This year we spent the afternoon with Bob and Chrystal, Patrick's dad and step-mom. What a lovely day we had!

Happy Birthday Anthony

Today my baby turns 21! Where have the years gone? Here Anthony is as a wee tot still sleeping in a crib!

Where is Anthony? Oh there he is, in the middle of the all those balls.

Anthony said a poem about a hot dog in one of his elementary school assemblies.
Here is a young Anthony and a young Butter playing on the dirt mounds. This was when we were having the brick wall installed at the house.

Any clue where Anthony was this day? Disneyland - at the deadliest ride in the wilderness!

I love this picture of my Anthony. It was taken in San Francisco. Doesn't he look like a model here! He is soo handsome!

Happy Birthday Anthony!!

Introducing Kobe!

Kobe is a miniature pincher and belongs to Bree and Gino. We are babysitting until they get their place.
I have nicknamed him Barkus Lalotus. As you can guess, he is quite the barker!

His mommy purchased this outfit to go riding in the Camero. Umm . . . I don't think he is too pleased with the outfit. Could it be that it doesn't fit too well?
Here Barkus Lalotus, err I mean Kobe is next to the LB, err I mean Sarge. You can see how petite Koby is next to Sarge.

Jillian Ann

Today is my baby girl's birthday (12/5) Happy Birthday Jillian Ann. You are a delight to my heart and loved by all that know you. Your thoughtfulness shines brighter than the sun in the sky.

Dear Ms. McFarlane

It is not every day that a mother gets a letter from the Marine Corps. I received an envelope today from the base in San Diego where my son is station. I opened it not knowing what to expect. I had never received a letter before. It was the Marine Corps bragging on my boy!
He was awarded (for the 2nd time no less) the Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal! Congratulations son, we are proud of you!

Latest Quilt Creation

Here is Mr. Turtle. I don't really want to give him a true name as he won't be staying long. He is a gift for a girlfriend of mine. I think I can spill the beans here as I don't think the receipent reads my blog. Kari commissioned me to make her grandmother a turtle quilt. I hope she loves it!

I've Found the Golden Ticket ! !

. . . or the next bet thing ~ the SECRET bathroom at Disneyland!!!! SHHH, I not telling!!

BOLO ALERT

Be On the Look Out For (BOLO)I have been to 5 JoAnn's Fabric stores looking for this fabric. It is a flannel I purchased a while back. Now that I have a project in mind, I am cought short. Has anyone seen this flannel fabric recently?

Holiday Cards

It’s the most wonderful time of the year (ding – dong, ding-dong, with the kids jingle belling and . . . .)

Actually it is time to start thinking about what you are going to do for your holiday cards. In the past few years, I have received a few photo cards. You know me and photos, I love each and everyone one of them.

If you didn’t know already, Shuterfly has a great holiday card selection. I pulled these images down from the Shutterfly sit for you to see a few.

They have folded greeting cards with the photos and wishes inside. They are available in a 5x7 size which leaves plenty of room to write your Christmas message.

They also have flat photo cards as well. You just submit your photo, choose your style and away you go! The flat photo cards are available in 4x8 size and the 5x7 size and are printed on high-quality matte or glossy photo paper. This is an affordable and stylish way to provide Christmas wishes to everyone on your list.
