Told you I was on a roll

This is my Aunt and her kids and grand kids. My sister and I was raised in the same house with my Aunt and her four kids and so she is more like my second mother and they were more like my brother and sisters. One of her kids moved to Colorado and so pictures of all of them together are hard to come by. I haven't done pages of my extended family and I realize that I need to for my kids books so beware all of these pictures will be seen again 7 times over so that each kid will have some family picture in each of their books.

Here is another page

Here is my Thursday scrapbooking group. We have been meeting on Thursdays for years and we never take any pictures of us. My good friend Mary Lynn got us altogether and my daughter Jillian took the picture. Wish I looked as good as all of them. I think they knew about the picture where I didn't have a clue....LOL....thats my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

WOW, it's been so long since I posted

I have been shrinking in my scrapbooking duties for awhile and I think I got some of my mojo back but we'll see. I am one of those typical Geminis that kind of go through various stages of things. Like say reading, when I am in the mood to read I will whip out 2 to 3 books a week and I will read nonstop and then I won't pick up a book at all for awhile. Well the same can be said for my scrapbooking obsession. So as you can see I am on a scrapbooking kick...LOL

This cute guy is my son Jeremy and we got a chance to go with friends from our church on a snow trip. Most of my kids haven't gotten to sled or anything EVER but when you live in the desert you don't get a lot of opportunities for sledding and snowball fights.

I could use a hand

I am seriously not that computer literate and never claimed to be, which brings me to my problem. I sell Stampin Up and I can't access my catologs or anything else. My computer keeps popping up wiht a error saying I need Adobe acrobat reader 8 or 9. I went onto Adobe and tried to find a download and thought I had downloaded it ok but I try to click on the new mini and view what's in the book and I still get this error.

Jennifer Welborn, I need your expert opinion here...LOL....HELP ME....Jenn has been a friend of mine for many years, then she up and left me and moved to Arkansas. She has always been very computer savvy as well as an amazing scrapbooker. Her oldest son and my son were really good friends. Anywho, Jennifer or anyone else who reads this blog who might have a site I can go to that is trusted and can help me out I would love it. I have a Red Ridinghood ink pad up for grabs if you can help me.

Red Ridinghood is one of Stampin Ups new In Color pads that is soon to be leaving our catolog. I have one that is brand spanking new and would love if someone can help me.

I would also like to know if the download is free or if I need to purchase it. Thanks in advance.

I know I'm a dork but after 2 hours of trying to download this reader I am now desperate.

Have a good one.

I have to just post this...

This is Mitchell he is ten and he was diagnoised with Autism when he was 6. It was a shock to all of us and I was in complete and total denial. My sweet baby boy couldn't possibly be autistic but as the IEP meeting wore on and his teacher produced a booklet he had kept on Mitch from the first day of meeting him, my eyes were opened wide. He kept this book he called "Mitchellisms" and this book wasn't to show me I was wrong it was to show me just how unique Mitch was compared with some of his other classmates. It explained his inability to cope with substitute teachers and why he would run and hide when he had one, or why he lined up his cars in a very straight line up, or make loud noises, or think he was an animal, as well as other things he would do that I couldn't figure out why. He is the sweetest most lovable little guy you will ever get to meet and this year he is coping well with change and social situations.

I logged onto Thecutestblogontheblock to change my blog background and this background was the first one up and of course I had to use it. I want to thank the people at thecutestblogontheblock for designing a background like this and the super cute all true blinkie I used in my sidebar. That blinkie is just so perfect for my son Mitch. He makes life so fun and very interesting. I will add I am blessed in the fact he is high functioning and not so severely autistic but I have friends with a son with severe autism and he too is such a sweetheart and to know that they will forever be one of Gods children, totally perfect in our Heavenly Fathers eyes and mine.

Scraplift page

I finally did a challenge on scrapbook.com. I am really good at signing up for them but not so good with actually getting them completed. It's kind of like my scrap supplies, I am an expert at collecting and hoarding but soooo not good at using any of the stuff I buy. Anyway this page was lifted from Dyluvs2scrap ( click on the link to see her page) I have been having a great time doing photo collages and did one for these four pictures. Shutterfly.com is where I got my collage from and it was free. My daughter Jillian and son Zachary turned 18 and 17 this year and it scares me how fast they are growing up. They can slow down anytime now. Thanks for looking.

New page

I fianlly did a page for my hubby. I don't seem to do any pages for the two of us, my pages are mostly of our kids. This was a page kit that I was given at a crop I went to last week. I really liked it and how it turned out and can you believe it it isn't Stampin Up related. It's rare these days I do anything that isn't Stampin Up. I have to say that I mostly use their stuff because I totally hate matching up papers to cardstock and then having not match because my lighting was bad. With SU products there isn't the frustrating guess work. I believe this paper line is from Scenic Route paper company but I am not 100% sure. My hubby, who is serious most of the time can be a total goofball when it comes to getting his picture taken. So I turned his goofy pictures into a page for him. Thanks for looking and have a great day.
