Spring Memory Page Kit ~ Freebie

What an Awesome Friday!
I managed to get all my adds placed in the local papers for my garage sale next weekend. But the great news is that while sorting through even more boxes in Grandpa's garage I found some very old paper work that proves my family immigrated from Germany to America in 1817! Along with that I found the original deed to the family farm dated 1845! Awesome papers to add to the family tree that I've been working on for the last I don't know how many years. I started it sometime in high school as a school project for history class and well, over the years I've slowly been adding to it as I find things. Wow has my hand writing changed over the years! lol! Some parts are typed, some hand written and more recent items are computer printed. One of these years I'll have to do a new over all update and completely digitalize it and keep the "real" papers in a safe place instead of a plastic tote. :(


Since I'm in such a good mood and have not given you a kit in a while (other then fan kits), I present this fabulous little page kit called "Spring Memory".

P365 Week 22 Template ~ Freebie

Morning all,
Sorry I have been so quiet, it's been a looong week.

Saturday I took the boy to see his dad for his summer break. We were on the road at 4am and I pulled back in to my drive way that evening at 5pm. Long ass drive. Thankfully it's only twice a year. We had some nasty weather forcasted for Saturday night so I pushed it a bit getting home. We arrived home 2 hours before the tornadoes started in. An EF 4 hit not to far from here. It wiped out a farm but there were no injury's.

Sunday the oldest played in her schools orchestra for the graduation ceremony's and then she went and hung out with friends for the rest of the day (open houses and graduation parties). She was even home before curfew! I had dug out the window AC from the shed Sunday afternoon and got that put in. Wow what a difference AC can make! When we got home on Saturday it was over 90 in the house! Sunday was no better.

Monday we stayed home and sat in the AC. Tuesday we were back at grandpa's cleaning his garage. My garage sale is next weekend so I need to crank on getting ready pretty hard. We also mowed a couple of yards.

Wednesday we went and got our camper out of storage. We had tried to bring it home on mothers day weekend but it had a flat tire and the spare was also very low. So all we did that weekend was bring the spare home to air up properly. It took us over an hour yesterday just to break the lugs lose to get the tire off! Today I get to clean it up and get it ready to be sold. Yep we got a car, a van and a camper for sale at the moment. I hope they sell quick, I want my SUV! We also mowed a couple more lawns. At least the mowing is done until next week.

Thank you for the sweet comments about Cisco. She is getting really big compared to what she was when we brought her home 8 months ago! She is still my scrap buddy but the little one has more or less claimed her as hers!

Today I have a fantastic layout to share with all of you. This one was sent in to us by Christy.

P365 Week 21 Template ~ Freebie

Evening All!
Well our adventures with the little one continue.
Yesterday morning, the other two had just left for school and I was sorting laundry, I hear " Momma? Momma can you help me put my cast back on?" I had to do a double take!
Yep the little bugger had slid it right off! Swellings gone!
Had to wait for the Doctors office to open but we were able to get in right away, no harm no foul! She picked pink this time around.
Nothing seems to slow her down. She still eats and writes with the right hand (the broken one). Heck today she played on the big play gym/swing set grandpa has and then played basketball with her brother this evening. Always always on the go!

Double Template #64 ~ Freebie

Oh My! The sun finally came out! The last time we saw it in these parts was back on the 6th. It's been very rainy, cold and generally just plain icky! We had been in the 40's for highs and lows in the lower thirty's so today's 67 was great, not to hot but nice and sunny! Today was also the last day of school for the little one. The other two still have a few days left and will be done next Thursday.

I swear though the youngest is going to drive me nuts with her roughness. Today after school I was talking to her older brother while she was going down the slide on our little swing set. No big deal till I heard her cry out. She had tried to sit on the swing and the swing slid backward out from under her. Down she went! Good thing the swing is set as low as it will go (16" off the ground). The kicker was when she was picking herself up the swing came back and got her in the shoulder! Not hard, but just enough to make her mad! What really made her made was when I told her she needed to come in for a while and settle down. I mean the cast has not even been on for a week! Take it easy and let's get things healing!

Heck earlier this week I was folding laundry and I hear "Momma Help". Not a panic cry but with a bit of hurry up to it. I found her standing on her head holding herself up with her good arm, between the couch and the coffee table. She had slid off the couch trying to reach a book that was under the coffee table. She has pulled this move twice now! Why can't she just get up and get the item the proper way! Kids! Who knows what they will do next!

P365 Week 20 Template ~ Freebie

Welcome to Week 20!
Yep I'm actually on time with this one!
*
The little one did wonderful in her recital last night!
Instead of one large group of kids (121 in all) the kids were divided into small groups and each group demonstrated two techniques that they learned and then played a short song.
The kids all looked so tiny filing up onto the stage but the violins were micro mini!

Template #245 ~ Freebie

Evening all,
It's been a very wet chilly day here. Drizzle and light rain most of the day and now the thunderstorms have moved in. Took the little one into the Orthopedic Specialist this afternoon. She is now the proud owner of a purple cast. Next Monday we go back for a new x-ray to check the alignment.
I spent my Mother's Day scrapping and tonight I have two more to share with you from earlier in the day on Saturday. Before things went downhill.

Appalachian State Fan Kit ~ Freebie

Morning Everyone!
I have the Appalachian State Fan Kit ready for you! I couldn't sleep last night, must have been too much sleep the night before! So instead of sleeping I worked on the private kit I'm working on and put the preview together for this one. I also managed to get all the laundry washed and dried. I still need to fold it and do the breakfast dishes. Also did the grocery shopping this morning and got that all put away. Might as well do my inside stuff while it's to wet to do things outside!
Rained all night and we have freeze warnings for tonight. Going to have to protect the gardens! Yep a couple of clients called and wanted to know how to protect such large areas from the frost. No problem! Just heat some river rocks and place them next to the plants, tip a bucket or rose cone over that to keep the heat in next to the plant. If it's windy place a rock on top to keep the bucket/rose cone from blowing away. So this evening I have three to go around to and cover for people along with our own. I save all the ice cream buckets I can get my hands on, they are such useful things! I'll have to break out the 5 gallon buckets for my new decorative grasses that I just got planted this week.
I hate spring just as much as I love it some years!

P365 Week 19 Template ~ Freebie

Morning everyone!
I know I committed an oops last night, I should have been blogging but instead I figured I'd watch a little TV with the kids until they went to bed. Well I ended up falling asleep! Oops, sure felt good but there are so many things I should have been doing instead. Sorry all.

First off today I would like to share with you the wonderful gifts I received from Egypt over the weekend. As the journaling says I made a private request kit awhile back for a wonderful lady who, in return, sent me and the kids these wonderful items! I know the pictures themselves are a bit yellowish but the Stone is White Egyptian Marble and it really is snow white! These are such a priceless treasure for us! Thank you so very very much!

It has been very windy here for the last week or so and it just tires a person out fighting it all the time. Wednesday was the worst so I decided enough was enough and took the day off. It's nice working for yourself some times. So instead I spent a large part of the day working on a private request kit. And a little time gathering stuff up for my rummage sale next weekend. I can't wait to be rid of all the baby gear that we have stored away! I also have a Blog Fan Kit almost ready to go, I just need to finish up the preview. I'll be posting that in the next day or two.
