Sad Goodbye

Hey everyone. I know it's been a long time since I've posted anything but sadly I had to say goodbye to my step-father last Sunday. He was very ill and found out he had liver cancer. I know he is at peace now and causing just as much trouble in heaven! Still it is hard to know that I won't see him again and hear is voice. Here is one of my favorite pictures of him with Brooke and Tyler:

On the flip side, we did welcome a new addition to our family. His name is Tucker. He was my step-father's golden retriever puppy. He has been wonderful! The kids love him, although Brooke can't stand it when he licks her : ) They were running around the house as he chased him tonight. It certainly brought a smile to my face. I'm sure there will be many scrapbook pages of him in the future.

Finally, Valerie Salmon is starting a new gotsketch 107 class. Be sure to check it out at http://gotsketch.blogspot.com/. I already saw the first sketch and it is AWESOME!!!

For the Love of Animals!

My children are the opposite in many ways but in one way they are much the same...stuffed animals.

It all started with Brooke. She got her first kitty from Papa Don and Grammy Marsha on her first Christmas. We celebrated in Virginia. Since that time she has collected over 20. Although she doesn't insist on sleeping with them every night anymore, she does still have two of them that don't leave her side!
Ty found his love of stuffed animals in the form of horses, not kitties. He has also collected many. His favorite part is twirling his finger in their hair. It has saved my hair from being pulled out by him many times! He has three horses that don't leave his side. One is a huge horse blanket. I did have to cut their hair a bit as he got his finger wrapped so tightly in their hair that it cut of the circulation to his finger.
I just love my babies : )

TTT December Kit Reveal

Hey everyone. Hard to believe it is January already. Christmas came way too fast this year with Thanksgiving being so late. I certainly don't feel like I had enough time to enjoy to holiday season! Yet, it was a very blessed and wonderful season! I had some time during my break to catch up on some scrapbooking for TTT and Gotsketch!

Here are a few layouts I created with Transparent Touches Dec Kit #2. I loved the paper in the this kit. It made creating layouts a breeze!

This piece of patterned paper was perfect for adding pictures from Christmas with our family.

And this was another easy piece to work with as all I had to do was add the picture and a few extra embellishments! We took this family picture at the horse farm.
And the calendar paper was perfect for remembering family we visited with during the month of December!
This is the layout I created using the sketch given to the Design Team. We had beautiful weather over Christmas break and spent one evening at the beach!

I created a monthly scrapbook with the acrylic album that came with the kit. I plan to take a picture of the kids together each month throughout the year!
And here is a layout I created with Bella Blvd.'s Christmas Wishes. I used a TTT transparency on the bottom left corner.
You will have to wait to see the Gotsketch layouts I created until after they are revealed. I can't wait to see what January has in store for us!

TTT November Kit Reveal

For these layouts I worked with TTT's November Kit #1:

Here is one of Brooke with our neighbor Lily right before trick-or-treating:
Here is one I took on our field trip to Cypress Gardens and in our neighborhood:

Here is one of my favorite pictures of my family:
And here is one from our cruise overseas. We are in the Roman Colosseum, in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and on the ship:
