Template #183

Hi Everyone!
Sorry I did not post last night. I didn't feel well and thought I'd lay down for just a bit but the next thing I knew it was morning! This morning was a crazy one as well. Nothing like having the teenager inform you at 7:20 that they forgot they were supposed to be at school at 7:15 for practice. Talk about a rat race! I just hope the rest of the day goes better.

Today we have some wonderful beach layouts sent in to us by Simona. I must admit I am drooling over the beach photos. I'm so tired of being land locked with farm fields!

Template #2 from the "Hits Grab Bag" (no longer available)

Double Template #25

Howdy everyone!
We had a busy Friday around here. After dropping the oldest off at school the youngest and I headed over to grandpa's to hang out and discuss this years garden plans. We also went to the hardware store with him.

Just before lunch we came home to pick up dad and run some errands. We grabbed a quick lunch and was back home for nap time. But, she did not want any part of nap time today. I felt like all I did was chase her back to bed. It just wasn't happening, not today.

After dinner the kids and I loaded up and headed over to Grandpa's were the oldest mowed the yard and I tilled the garden adding in all our winter compost. We will till it one more time before we plant to make sure all the compost is mixed in well. the boy and the little one played for over two hours on the big play set grandpa has for them.

Since the little one refused to nap today, along with all the fresh air and exercise, it didn't take long for her to pass out after getting home. Which in turn made a very nice closer for the day.

My dear friend in Italy sent in this layout of there walk on the beach on Easter Monday.

Absolutely Fantastic!

Can you imagine living that close to the beach?

The closest I have come to the ocean was the Gulf of Mexico. I visited Galveston Island with my Grandparent's back in 1991.

Thank you for sharing with us!

Holy Buckets did it get hot today! We actually set a new record, 91!I just open all the windows and let that warm breeze blow right on in. At 9 pm tonight it was still 90 outside but the wind had died off. It is supposed to drop off a lot for tomorrow down in the 60's and turn rainy and cool for the weekend.

P365 Week 17 Template

Evening Everyone!
I hope you had a good day! Because we did!
The weather was the best it could possible be for a beautiful spring day. The day didn't really start off with the best of things. The little one and I had to go pay our property tax's and register the car for this year. After that it was off to Walmart but not before a quick stop at home so the little one could "potty". She had a really great day and stayed dry all day! Yippee! And after school we all headed to the park for an hour before dinner.

Anyhow, tonight I have some of my own layouts to share. I know they are from Easter but I have been holding them for a night that I did not have any reader layouts to share.

It's A Girl Thing Mega Kit Freebie

Evening Everyone!

Did you all have a good weekend? It was pretty calm around here compared to what the week had been like.

--

Tonight I would like to introduce my newest Mega Kit, It's A Girl Thing!

This kit is number two in a series that Michele and I plan on doing for our children. The first was the beautiful Brianna's Butterfly's kit that we did for her daughter and now It's A Girl Thing is for my oldest!

This kit is loaded with all things teen girl related! Make up, music, and first time driving!

It's A Girl Thing contains over 30 Papers and over 30 Elements along with 6 Word Arts that you can pick up over on Michele's blog.

Cindy who is my guest CT member this month sent in these fabulous layouts of her daughter using It's A Girl Thing.

Oh No! Look Out! Stay off the Sidewalks! New driver on the loose! hehehehe Just teasing I'm sure she is an awesome driver Cindy! You must have nerves of steel though! My oldest will start driving this summer and I'm a total basket case about it.

We don't do the texting thing around here, so I can't even phantom this many text's in just one month!

This is how my week started! Remember I said I'd tell you about Monday!
The kids had the day off of school so we decided to clean and rearrange the girls room. Somewhere in the mess the youngster found the bottle of black nail polish. She did not have it for more then oh say thirty seconds! As I reached to take it from her she spun around and it smashed into the ladder of the oldest loft bed.

Reader layouts

Good Morning, Afternoon or Evening what ever it is in your neck of the woods! OK so I'm being a bit silly tonight. Yep it's a little after midnight here and I'm still chuckling about Friday mornings antics.

Grandpa was supposed to pick the oldest up at 7:30 to take her to school (Van issues previous posts). At 7:45 I called him no answer, figured he was driving and on his way. 2 min later he calls and says he is on is way. 5 min to 8 still no grandpa. 8 o'clock call him again, he is sitting at the store next to the high school. He is waiting for me to go by so he can pick me up at the mechanic shop. Oh No that's Monday not Friday! OK at this point there is no more time to wait. I told him just to go home and I'd run her to school with the van. There is no way he could get from there to our place and to the school in time!

OK everyone is loaded in the van and we are almost to school, my phone rings! Grandpa locked his keys in the truck! So after dropping her off I had to pick him up so we could go get his spare set at his place. We pull up to his place and he asked for my garage door remote. (I have one of his for emergence's etc. ) I don't have the remote in the van it's in my broken down car. (Tells you how often I need it.) Grandpa then asks how we plan to get in, I told him I did have my house key as long as the screen door wasn't locked. But of course it was! So off to my place to get that garage door remote! Got it and got back to his place. He couldn't find the key and that took a bit. Finally we were able to find them and went back to get the truck. What should have been a really easy morning for me turned into a lot of nerve racking driving! From start to finish it was over an hour and a half! But all is well that ends well! The girl made it to school in time, we found the keys, and the van held up! So that is all good! On the way back to grandpas after getting the remote we were laughing about it already!

The only temporary downside was every time we pulled away from Grandpa's house the youngest would have a fit that she wanted to stay at grandpas. After getting home and having breakfast all was right in her world again.

Alright you guys don't really come here to read my lame stories, but hey that's my life, as lame as it may be sometimes!

Tonight we have a few layouts to show.

Our first one this evening is sent in by Linda. Linda was very kind in pointing out that some how I missed her layout in march. I am so sorry Linda! Thank you so much for letting me know! I ask for them and then misplace them! Not a good thing and I am very sorry. If anyone else has sent in a layout and has not seen it yet please let me know! These are the last ones I have.

Isn't she a cutie!

Linda has used:

Double Template #20 Side A and

Springtime Friends Kit also by me for her layout.

Thank you Linda!

Woody and Double Template #24

Hi Everyone!
Meet Woody!
He has been my alarm clock for a little over a month now! He loves to "Drum" on our furnace vent pipe. Woody is a Hairy Woodpecker who lives in the tree out side my bedroom window. Drumming as it is called is how they mark there territory. I'm so glad he claimed us! Not! Oh well, it will only last a couple of more weeks. Did you know that woodpeckers are a federally protected species? I didn't! Not until today that is, when I googled why he likes my vent pipe so much!

Sorry the photos are so poor but he wont let me get very close and so I have to take the pictures through my bedroom window, two panes of glass and the screen! I sure wish it showed the red on the back of his head more he is a very pretty bird when he isn't hiding in the shadows!

Woody the Hairy Woodpecker

Kit used is Comfort by Stacey’s Scraps

The template, well I was hunting through my stash and found Template #134, it had the right numbers of photos but no LS version. So I made one! You can click the preview below to grab the LS version only. (4 shared only)

Note: Template #134 and the new LS #134 DO NOT have psp or png images. If you do need these images then Please EMAIL me with the Subject line Template #134 extras. Thank You!

Update and QP

Morning everyone!

I intended to post this last night but instead I stretched out on the couch and fell asleep watching the TV. I took our van in to my "Family" Mechanic to get a second opinion and estimate, other then just the dealership. I call him the Family mechanic because I have known him since I was a kid and he was just getting his start working for my Dad.

Anyway after he put it up on the lift and his employees stoped staring because I was in the shop beyond the employee only sign. Sorry, I helped build the shop, I will do as I please. Besides growing up in an auto shop you learn whats safe and not. There is good news and bad news.

Good news is only one set of ball joints actually are bad. the dealership was pushing to do all 4. But the bad is the dealer only wanted to fix part of my steering problem, Gordy discovered that it was the steering linkage not just the steering arm that is going bad. So it got cheaper with fixing the ball joints and more expensive on the steering problem. The most pressing problem is the left side ball joints, so much so that he says one good pot hole could take that side out! So Monday morning the van is going in to have those ball joints fixed! It will be a little less then 400 bucks. He says the steering would be good for a year or so and that as long as the ball joints are done it will be safe to take our trip! Yea!!!!! The steering will be fixed after we get back. He compared it to steering an old 1947 tractor! So that's the good the bad and the ugly!

---

Now how about something pretty!

Lori over at Scraps n Pieces put this wonderful QP together using one of my templates. Honestly I don't know for sure which one she used! It could be a couple of different ones depending on what you add or remove from the templates and if you rotated it or not.

Here are the links to a couple of possibilities!

Double Template #11 Side B with slight changes or

Double Template #19 Side A with pictures rotated.

That's the fun part of templates! You can change them to do what ever you want to!

Click on the Image to head over to Loris blog and grab the QP while your there you can find out all about the fabulous kit she used!

I'm heading over to Lori's at Scraps N Pieces to grab it now! I have a thing for chicken wire! I love it! Remind me sometime and I'll explain why!

Just a little foot note here. I am not associated with Scraps N pieces or any of the designers that Lori CT's for. I just feel very Honored that she chooses to use one of my templates from time to time while she is fulfilling her CT duties to others. Thank you Lori!

I'll be back later this evening with the Friday Double Template Freebie!

Until next time...

P365 Week 16 Template

Evening!

What a day! I would almost swear it was a Monday! Oh, don't get me started on last Monday! You will here about it soon enough! But today, I don't even know where to start! If you have been following along this year you will know that the bad things come in threes has hit us a few times already. Well it hit again today!

This time vehicle problems. Gonna cost almost 1000 bucks to fix and we just don't have it. First the transmission in the car, it's now parked since we can't afford to fix it. The truck needs brakes all the way around and now the van needs all new ball joints in the front end. I took it in for a look see this morning since we have a trip planned for next month. I knew something was up with the front end but my boyfriend kept trying to tell me that it was nothing. Sorry Dear, but ball joints are a very big deal!

---

Ok Ok enough! I don't want to rant, never meant to when I started typing but the frustration of all the set backs is defiantly eating at me.

Tonight I'm sharing some long over do layouts that Tracie from My Musings sent me the link to a couple of weeks ago. So Sorry Tracie for not getting these up sooner!

Layouts

Evening Everyone!

Just thought I'd pop in and share a layout I received the other day. Oh, and guess what? I did one two!

----

Simona sent in this wonderful layout of her family' fur babies.

I think the one in the middle Schizzo is the one we have seen in some previous layouts. He has such wonderful markings! LuLu looks a lot like our Kittie Ashes that passed away last fall. A dainty little princess. (I'm guessing on the he and she parts) Thank you for sharing Simona!

Template #1 from the 100,000 Hits Grab Bag that is unfortunately no longer available.

Mine-

I took these photos of our youngest of Friday afternoon. She was so excited about going to great grandpa's house to spend the night that she was packed and ready, hours, before it was time to go!
