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!

Please give this gal some credit!

Crafters love these little books I design! And I do love to share them!

 All I ask? Use your re-creation of my artwork for your personal use. If you post your re-creation of my art or my photography, I would appreciate that you give this gal some credit. A link to my blog: Annieworks would be great or just contact me for questions for use. Please do not use copies of any of my art or photos for profit, selling or submission to contests or publications. Thank you!

HV Home

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

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...

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...  

Tarryall, CO

I love to travel with my family.  This is one of our favorite spots near Tarryall, CO. Amazing. We never really do anything there.  We just enjoy looking.  We stop by the same road and look down at this beautiful meadow.  The serpentine river adds to the serene, breathtaking view!  

The first time we came around the bend and saw this sight, we literally put the jeep in reverse and stopped and stared for a good 15 minutes!  We stopped.  Got out. There was no traffic, very few sounds.  Only nature-the gurgles of the river, the birds! That was about ten years ago and we have been back two more times. Still seeing if we can remember where this secluded meadow is.   Still looking to see if the log structures are there.  Still passing the time  in this peaceful place on earth.
