     This is one of those projects that just was in my head...no inspiration for it, I just woke up with it.....  It was suppose to be for the last Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame contest that was going on - I had gotten a bunch of layouts done, and you needed to do a mini album project...this is what came up from that!!!  Now, if you seen this project ...the inspiration came from this album...not just the colors, but the inside of the album as well.   Allison wanted something that didn't have a lot of foo-fla...just because her album would be in her purse!  This album is placed in a basket with other projects I have done...so I could have all the foo-fla I wanted!!!        Lets get started with the supplies and directions!!!   Supplies:   Brown paper Inside front cover Pink paper Ivory paper  Various stamps (hearts) Stamp pad Embossing powder Heart die cuts Alpha stickers and rub on's (or stamps)...

     My sister Allison and I have really not gotten along very well much of our lives...why, I have no idea...we are both totally alike, and yet we have our own way about us.  We are not two-faced...what you see is what you get with us...it's right in front of you and we will not hesitate to stick up for ourselves, or put you right back in your place if you need it...  Yet now, her and Grant are my biggest cheerleaders...and they have my back, something I never thought we could have!!!        With Allison's birthday on the 12th, I have been sharing what she is getting for her special day - todays project is an absolutely fun project - a framed page...  Now, Allison and Grant were married before, each having children...  Ally has 3 boys, Grant has a daughter...but to them, THEY have 4 kids...it doesn't matter whose mom it is, whose dad it is...THEY have 4 kids.  I totally love how they have been able to do this, as Del and I h...

     This week, it's all about birthdays...it was mine, it will be my husband's daughter's this week, and my sister's all within the next 10 days...  So, I share with you what I am making for my sister...and can't wait to show you what I have been up to!  She has been a very good source of strength for me...and though I screw up at times, she gives me space, and I her...and then we move on...  I have learned a lot, and still am learning a lot from her, and thank God every day she came back in my life...I truly am finding out what it's like to have a sister...and am sorry for the pain I have caused her and me being such a bitch at times...I love you Ally, and hope you have an awesome birthday!!!               The rest of the week on the hop, you will have just the 3 of us, me, Anita and Barbara...but we will be bringing you birthday ideas until Saturday, so make sure you keep checking back with us!!!   The li...

Monthly event planner It's that time again.....time to look at the upcoming events that you have in your life for the next 6 weeks...   Whether you have birthday's, weddings, showers, or fun summertime events planned, grab your calendar and start to look at what you need to make, purchase, send off, or what have you!        Our economy really stinks right now, I've been living it for a long time... and learned a few things along the journey until now.  Take time to look at what you have going on so you can get started on things early - instead of at the last minute...  Start to look at the calendar for things you need to deal with until the end of August!  This way, you can start getting things you need to - put together in order to get things completed on time!   My main problem in life - (I am so like my mom) - I procrastinate - and pretty soon, what I "wanted" to do - doesn't get done because I didn't spend the time to ge...
