Heirloom Bracelete's

In addition to my love of scrap booking, I also enjoy dabbling in jewelry design. Here is one of the four bracelet I made out of heirloom cuff links.

Tablerock Lake with the Kiddo's

I have a very kind employer who likes for the office to get together for some family fun time. This last weekend we spent the day at the Checkett lake house on Tablerock Lake. Here are a few of the pages that I put together...

PPC-CC #22

Here is my beautiful little grand daughter this weekend at Tablerock Lake. It really was a day of fun & sun. This is the first time I used rub-on's. These are BoBunny Peacock Lane rub-on's and brad.

Art Day Camp

Its summer and everyone is trying to find something fun for the kido's to do. I was able to get my Grand daughter in to the ArtCentral Day Camp here in Carthage, MO. This Sunday they are to display one piece of art using one of the themes suggested. She choose the "Mad Hatter" theme and revamped this cup using a paper scalloped edge flower that I just learned how to make in the "Attic" this last weekend (Thanks Paula!).

PPC Color Combo Challenge #21

Well I have become addicted to these PPC Color Combo Challenges! (Now I need to figure out how to change and or take off the date on my camera)

PPC Color Combo #20

I started the night with my little guy making a card for his Mommy who wasn't feeling well.  This is what we came up with. "Get Well Soon Mommy!"

I've Come a Long Way Baby!

Not many people know this, but there was  a time in my life that my youngest daughter and I had to stay in a women's shelter (kudos's to the Lafayette House, in Joplin MO). I was a prisoner in my body and in a horrid marriage. That little visit opened my eyes, I knew I had to take control of my life, have a life. Since that time, what seems like a life time ago, I divorced an evil man, lost 242 (yes I did...) lbs, found a great job (that I am so grateful for), bought my own home and just picked up a new car (the second one I have ever bought on my own).

It hasn't always been easy, but the struggle has been worth the outcome. Ive come a long way baby!
