Christmas is over

Well Merry Christmas everyone! I can't believe it is over. I just have been so busy shopping and wrapping. I haven't made my layouts. But finally here they are. I hope you all had a great Christmas, I so enjoyed watching my grandchildren open their gifts. It seems that they loved them all. My youngest granddaughter (she is 4) said this was the best Christmas ever! lol. Back to my layouts. The pictures I used was from Christmas eve and Christmas day. The kit I used to make them is Winter Blessings Page Kit by Linda Cumberland. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.

Fa la la la la

Oh yes tis the season... Is everyone in the Christmas spirit? This is my favorite time of the year. I just love driving around and looking at all the Christmas decorations. Especially at night seeing all the houses lit up. I remember when my kids were young I used to always drive around looking at the lights and there were always a few houses that were spectacular. I remember one in particular that we would have to get out of the car and walk around their house to see all that there was to see. There was always so many people there doing the same thing that we would either have to wait for a parking space or park a block or so away. The house was so lit up that you could see it from blocks away. OMG I can't imagine what their electric bill must of been. But it was beautiful. Christmas is less than 2 weeks away and I still have so much shopping to do. My daughter will be coming down to celebrate with us so it will be great that we will have the whole family together.
There are so many designers out there giving away their beautiful Christmas kits. I know of at least 5 Christmas blog trains. In fact SAS has a Christmas Carol blog hop. It is just so nice of them to do this. I have 2 Christmas layouts to show you today. They are from Christmas's long ago. The pictures are of my older children when they were young. The kit I used for them is the SAS December 2009 Mega: Vintage Christmas by the SAS'y Design Team. Wow what a wonderful Christmas kit. Thanks for stopping by.

How was your Thanksgiving?

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Kelly and I went upstate to enjoy thanksgiving with my Daughter and her Husband. I only wish my Son and his family could of joined us, but my oldest granddaughter is deathly afraid of dogs and my daughter has 2 labs. But regardless, I did have a great time. The food was delicious and my daughter treated me like a queen. Her house is beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. I have a few layouts to show, the first two are recent pictures and the kit I used is Autumn Dream by Lara's Digi World. The last layout you see is of my oldest daughter, taken in the early 80's. I finally got to scan some of my older pictures but I am so sorry I never dated them. The kit I used is Sweet Dream by Sweet Made. I am still working on a few more layouts and hope to have them up soon. Thanks for stopping by.

I think I am getting old

Lol, oh yeah, old age is setting in. I say this because I just have been so forgetful lately. I forgot my son in laws birthday. That was the worst, how could I forget his birthday? He has been my son in law for over 17 years and I have know him for over 24 years. But that is not all I have been forgetting. I forgot about a doctors appointment I had. But that I can understand, I made the appointment 3 months prior. But then I made 2 layouts and I forgot to post them, lol, what is going on? Really, its terrible, I go into the living room to turn off the recorder, but then I get there and forget why I came. I have to tell you though, my youngest daughter takes advantage of this. I will ask her why she didn't do something I told her to and she replies that I never told her and that I am just forgetful. But anyway, here are my 2 new layouts I made with the SAS November Mega: Harvest Moon by the SAS-y Design Team. Plus the two layouts on the bottom which I had forgot to post. The kit used is EEK by Kristi W.

Tomorrow is Halloween

Do you believe it? Halloween is tomorrow. Can you remember your days as a child? Trick or treating? I can! I can remember going from door to door, trick or treating and then going home to check out all the goodies. Oh what fun it was. Now it's my grandchildren doing the trick or treating and I am taking pictures. lol. We always made our own costumes, dressing up in old or baggy clothes, now I don't remember the last time I have seen a costume that is not store bought. I don't think they even made costumes for Halloween back then. Oh well, I am ready for the little trick or treater's to ring my bell. I have a bag full of candy which I know is way too much candy for the traffic I get here. My youngest daughter (she is 18 now) will be dressing up. She is going to go to the Halloween parade in the village. So for your treat today I have 2 new layouts to show. lol. They are Christmas layouts from years gone by. One layout has pictures from almost 37 years ago.... Wow!!! The kit I used is Christmas Story 1 by Sweet Made. I really like all the different elements in this kit and as you can see in my second layout, I really had fun with them. Thanks for stopping by.

Cold!!

Oh yeah, baby it's cold outside. Well not exactly freezing winter cold but it's really cold for mid October. We had back to back nor'easters and it was snowing in parts of New York. Oh, it's really too early for this. Today it was around 46 but with the wind chill it felt like it was in the 30's and the weatherman is predicting the first frost of the season tonight. Brrr.... For my two new layouts I used the holloween pictures I had taken last year. I really loved my youngest granddaughters costume. The kit I used is Spooky Boo by Lara's Digi World. Thanks for stopping by.

Dreary Saturday

It's a dreary Saturday here in New York today. It's very cloudy but not too cold. It's about 65 right now but it is supposed to go up to 70. I am not complaining, my favorite times of the year is spring and fall. I like the nice cool weather. I enjoy opening my windows and letting the nice fresh air in. It used to be that summertime was my favorite time of the year. But now that I have gotten older, I can't stand the heat. So for this dreary Saturday I have two new layouts that brighten my day. These are recent pictures of my two sunshine girls. I use The October Mega 09: Oktoberfest kit by the SAS-y design team. Thanks for stopping by.
