{ Doing some changes... }

What do you think? Too boring? Wanted to change things up. This is now my happy place...camping!! My blog banner is a pic from one of our camping trips last year to Mt Kidd in the Kananaskis.

Okay, here is the last pic from my first adventures in scrap land. This is a page I did of our cat Jasper. I really like this layout. Might have to try this one again. After looking at these old ones, I know that I can do better. ;0)


{ So very happy...}


that David Cook won lastnight!! Sorry not stamping related, but I am just so thrilled that David Cook is the new American Idol. Never thought he would actually win, but so very thrilled! These were one and two of my favorite performances.


Be back later with something new... promise!!

{ What are you...}

listening to this morning? I downloaded the new BNL for the girls on the weekend. Today this is our favorite track...Allergies. Love this CD...even if it is meant for kids! Can't wait for the new 20th Anniversary Album coming out next year!
Okay, here is another of my first Scrap pages I did a few years back. This is of our puppy Josh. We lost him to prostate cancer a few years ago. He will always be my first child. ;0)


















This is the third of only four pages I have ever done. Guess I must get busy and create something new for you all.

Have a great day!

{ It works!! }

I am just too excited! I have been struggling with my photos on my blog since I started. You have never been able to click on the photos to enlarge them...well now you can!! Thanks to Nancy! Someone else had posted this problem on SCS and they were told to place their photos on the side not centered and make them smaller. I did mine with the medium setting and on the side and it worked!! Yippeee!! Now I just have to play with the formats until I get them to set up the way I like them. Might have to try out a new blog template too to make it look the way I like...but at least the photos are clickable now!! Thanks Nancy!


{One more test...}

Okay, I am trying one more. This is another Disneyland pic of the girls with Minnie. She was the first Character we saw as we walked through the gates on our first day!

{Just a test...}

I am just testing out a new theory with my photos that Nancy told me about. Here are the first scrapbook pages I did a few years back.
