Double Template #69 ~ Freebie

We're Home!!!!
I'll have to give you all the run down of our vacation in my next post. We came home to find that Grandpa's basement had flooded. All this rain has broken a seventeen year old record! It don't help that one of the basement windows leaks really really bad! However I did get the laundry all done and the oldest packed for her church group camp. (She leaves tomorrow.) We also brought the birds and the rat back home today and cleaned the cages.

Project 365 Week 30 Template 2010 ~ Freebie

Howdy!
Oh what a day! Not that it was bad just tiring.
I finished the west gable today! And the finish work for the front of the garage!
Later this afternoon it was lots of house work! We leave Friday morning at 5 am! The little one went back with the in laws on Monday so she has a whole week head start on us. She is loving being spoiled by grandpa and grandma and the aunts and uncles! Not like she wasn't spoiled by them all this past weekend! Oh well that's what they are there for right? To spoil and have good times with!?
On Friday the family will all be back together again. The boy has been visiting his dad and the little one is away. The teen will leave for her church camp 2 days after we get home. Busy end of summer! I can't believe that school starts in three weeks!
Even though I will be gone don't forget to stop by! The normal routine will stay the same plus there are a few extra freebies! Some things will be prepublished and some I'll do on the fly!
Kristal sent in these P365 Layouts.

Big Blue Template ~ Freebie

Evening All!

Another hot one today!

I got about 3/4 of the west gable done today then had to run off and mow the yards that I put off while we were out of town. We also sold our car this morning! We sold our Van about a week and a half a go. Weeding out the old and bringing in the new!

Here is a few pictures from our weekend.



How many unseasoned boiled chicken wings can you eat in 10 minutes?
The winner Jim (in the red) managed to eat 39!
He was also one of the skiers in the ski show.
Jim was such a sweet heart and gave Grandma the T-shirt he won!
Grandpa Tim is the other one sitting next to Grandma. He tried his best but only got 32 down.
Grandma I think ate 15 maybe?

If you ever get the chance to visit the Terry Redlin Art Center, DO IT!
It's just plain gorgeous!

Last Thursday morning before we left town I got my SUV!
"Big Blue" is what we call her!
We test drove her Wednesday night, slept on it then went and bought her Thursday morning and took her for our trip. She pulls the jet skies wonderfully and I can back down the boat ramp a lot easier with her then I can our truck!

Template #256 ~ Freebie

Evening Everyone,
I am one tuckered out peep. Three days in hundred+ heat just about did me in! Being with the large extended family celebrating Grandma's 90th birthday at the lake was a blast though! Grandma even entered a chicken wing eating contest! I'll give you more of a update on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll have the whirl wind in my head straightened out by then. Super Busy days!
Tonight I have Template #256 for you all as your freebie.

House Template ~ Freebie

Tonight is a spur of the moment Template that I made using my above layout. I really had no idea what to call it but since it was inspired by my layout and the whole house project I named it House Template. There is no PSP images at this time, as I said it was spur of the moment. I will have Michele work on it and see if she will host the PSP files on her blog.

Template #255 ~ Freebie

Update and freebie...








Today is Day 24. Not a very productive day, so unlike yesterday. I think part of it was that I over did it yesterday. The heat and high @$$ humidity about do me in. We had a small but nasty thunderstorm move through over night last night. Not as hot today but 98% humidity! I just could not stand it. I finished up the front that we did not get done yesterday.
After doing dishes and tons of laundry this afternoon I sat down and created the following layout that uses today's/Mondays freebie. Feels like forever since I scrapped a page myself!
Only 4 days till we leave on our first trip. Tomorrow will be a long day. I still have all of the east side to side. Paint all the sofits and roof trim and side the west gable. Lot's to do yet !

P365 Week 28 Template ~ Freebie

Warning*** Grab your beverage of choice, it's a long one tonight!

Let's see here, We left off finishing Day 6. Day 7 and 8 were boring days of final siding removal and nail removal. Lot's and lots of nail removal! Also worked in the garden some. Weeds grow faster then any other plant I know of! Then again a weed is only a plant growing in a place you don't want it to. We have a lot of volunteer tomato and onion plants coming up all over the garden!

Here goes....



She begged and begged to help! She helped scrap the old paint and then that evening with work clothes on I caved in and handed her a paint brush! House painting at 3! Look out Grandpa Tim! You have an apprentice painter in the making!

Called it quits early on Day 14 and headed to the lake!
Came home to find this.





That brings us current on the house project. I have worked 18 out of the last 20 days. icky!
***
But in scraping news I have some big news to share with you all. Or rather I should say my friend Krystal has some fantastic news to share with all of us!

Congratulations Kristal and Seth!

Celebrate Page Kit ~ Freebie

It's a rainy morning here but it is supposed to dry up and be a very pleasant afternoon and evening. No work on the siding today. Have to let the sheeting dry out before we seal it up.
So this morning I put together a fun little page kit for you all to scrap your Celebration pictures with!

Double Template #68 ~ Freebie

Evening Everyone!

Hope you are all enjoying your 4th of July Weekend!
Windy again here today so we just took the day off. First full day off since I started this project. We did make it out to the lake Thursday evening. The wind was brutal but we had a good time none the less. The water has gone down about a foot but it is still extremely high compared to normal.
Today is supposed to be the last windy day for a while so tomorrow I will put in a full day and in the evening we will be heading out to the aunt and uncles place in the country for some three wheeler riding and fireworks. Enjoy the forth everyone and remember what your celebrating with all those fireworks!

Tonight I have the last of our June Layouts to share with you all. This one comes to us from Jo Ann. As to the type of tree this is, it could be any number of things. A hybrid pear or peach tree or maybe even a dogwood. But most likely it is one of the hundreds of sub species of Crabapple trees that are now available. My Grandfather has two similar trees in his neighborhood and when they are in full bloom the one looks like a white pom pom and the other one is a pink version. When the flowers fall in the first breeze the yards look like they are covered in snow for a day or two. I agree it is a shame the flowers don't last longer!
