Here is my grandmother with her three sons. My dad is on the far right...love this one taken about 1930. My grandmother was a homemaker, gardener, excellent seamstress, quilter, canning expert, school teacher, wife, mother, sister, friend...she wore many hats. And she wore them well. She accomplished the essential life...that of caring for her family. Her determination and the intentional life she lived will not be forgotten by her descendants.

Jingle

Here is a beautiful LO by Tracey Sanders using the Jingle papers. The original left side LO came from the Autumn/Winter 09 Idea Book. Tracey added her magic! Check out the right side of the LO and all that bling!!!

Who is the handsome fisherman??

That is my DH, Kyle. And this is the main section of a new project that I designed this past month. And won first place in our company art contest May 2009!

Flip Flap Photobook

Here is my latest creation: the Flip Flap photobook. I love the outdoors feel of these papers, Back Country. The Close to My Heart product "flip flaps", the individual page protectors for 4 x 6 photos, used in this project are amazing. They are so easy to use!

I love the pictures in the mini album...my husband is an avid fly fisherman, and I just had to create something for him to remember those amazing past trips he has made to New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, Texas, Arkansas and Wyoming. To name a few.

So excited! Won first place in our company art contest for May 2009!! Using this sweet little creation!

If you have any questions about creating one for yourself, please leave a comment at the end of this post! And thanks for looking!

Here is our home in HV.  We have lived there for 10 years.  Love this home...great memories and great neighbors and friends.

Our Family

Here is a picture of my parents, John and Peggy and my siblings-Dave and Rick & Janet and Marj. I think this was taken in 1986 at Janet's home. Anyway, we all look soooo young!!

The Grand Tetons at sunset...

The Grand Tetons

I took this photo when Kyle and I were taking a drive on vacation in Wyoming last year.  The Grand Teton National Park is near Jackson Hole, Wy.  Loved the sun setting...

Blue & Kandias

I took this photo of our DearD and DearSL at DaveFest 2007!  (Ashton's mom and dad).  WE love you!!

Chuck & Emily

I took photos for Chuck,my DearNephew and Emily, my adopted DearNiece! Before their wedding. Love you guys!

Snow mobiling...

Here is Kyle!  Loves to snowmobile when he gets the chance.  He went with Mike and Marj to an area in Colorado way out...I stayed in the "hotel" while they played!!  Too much snow for this gal!

John today...

Another one...

John today...

John has to wear a tie to work but I think he likes it!  He is enjoying Colorado Mountain College and loves his job because he gets salary plus commission.  He works 30 plus hours a week, studies, and eats, goes to class, and cooks, and works out...you get the picture! One busy guy!

Mike & Marj Visit

We went to lunch with Mike and Marj when they visited us!  January 2009

Christmas 2009

We were not able to make our Christmas party in TX again this year. John was our rep.  I have a great family!!  Love them all so very much!  And all the kids are growing up! You know who you are!  Two weddings in 2008...

This is one of my favorite pictures of John.  He is happy cause he is babysitting Karma, the cutest, sweetest boxer on the planet!! Hey, do they both have blue eyes??  They do!!

This is me at an early age!  I think I was about two and a half. Before I edited the photo, it was green!  Mom asked that I edit it and then give her a new copy!! I could never really say no to my momma.  

My earliest memories have included walking with my Daddy on a beach, going to the store in a little red wagon pulled by my Momma and in tow with my brothers and sisters, playing dress up with my sister Litty, visiting my Granny's and Pappy's home, visiting my GG-Pa & GG-Ma Shawver ( I was in a green coat and my sister Litty was in a red coat!), playing in the backyard with all my siblings, the day my little sister Marjie was born. These are but a few...
