Friday Challenge- June 30th

Today I want to create a page showing what is "outside my scrap window".

What are you looking at? If this tomato plant had been outside my window maybe I could have gotten that little worm off before it ate the whole thing. So it ate 1/4 of my crop. Why didn't he eat the weeds that is trying to creep in on that plant. Oh, well I guess I don't have to weed it now. Guess I will buy tomatoes for a little while longer. Oh yeah, back to the challenge. I want to show what I look at, maybe inspire times. What is outside your window??????

Long time ...no post. I have been busy trying to get ready for the 4th and then vacation. I feel like I am in slow motion, just going through the motions but just thinking of the end result. Vacation is only 11 days away. 4th party only 3 days away. So much to do ....not enough time. And Hubby has been working all week and plans on fishing in a tournament on Friday night. Sometimes I could ring his neck, I have gave hints that, I could use him at home on Friday night but does he get them NO... So I will leave him a long list to do on Saturday while I am working. I hope they are done, if he wants to enjoy his night.......
DEEP BREATH...... CALM DOWN...........
Sometime I just need to write it down and all the anger goes away.

Friday challenge

guess who????? Yeah it is me, alongggggg time ago. The reason for this picture is for today's challenge. I want you to draw a self portrait. Get in a quite room and draw a picture of your self. Fill in all the things you like about yourself and the things you don't. Doodle and add childhood memories about your self. I think this will be fun, and then years from now, when your great great grand daughter is reading this she will know where she got her nose and she will know how I did not like it either.

Oh, the memories of polyester.....I still have nightmares.

They were sooo hot !!!

It seems like today I did not get anything accomplished. I tried all day to finish my weekly paper work, rearrange the space where a cabinet sold, start a scrapbook page, rearrange a table full of glass and eat lunch. At 3, I had a apple, ( it won't kill me to miss a meal. I have stored fat for times just like this) Paper work done at 4 , the table, empty space and scrapbook page will have to wait for another day. Then I got home and burnt the hamburger helper. Hoping for a better day tomorrow.

This is a hand of man that has worked hard all his life to provide for his family. Do the right thing, and respect people. Don't wine, suck it up and do what you have to do. Don't let people walk all over you, but know when to speak up. Manners are important, Respect your elders. Take the time to listen to the older generation, they do have something to say. Always open the door for a lady, and give them your seat. Family eat at the table, together. Shake hand to all you meet. Be polite. Family- we do what we have to do, because we are family. It is the right thing to do.

Happy Fathers Day

I love you

Friday Challenge

Is there anything in our lives that is a * constant * source of inspiration? My constant " creative" source right now is the internet. I see a idea, and twick it to my taste. I scrap lift. Do you? I do not think it is wrong, I do it all the time, but when I finish you can not tell it was lifted. It has my style on it. Which is rusty , shabby, rustic, old, inked, antique looking. And it is a great source when you have no creativity . All you have to do is try and it will come rushing back. Well, I am getting off the subject. Today's challenge is to inform about the most "constant" feeling, source, friend, person or item in your life. The Friday challenge word today is constant.

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good.

Good Morning
I really have been on a roll with my layouts lately. I try to pull 2 photos and paper each morning to take to the shop with me. I completed 4 pages last week. Yes, it took all week but that is more than I have been completing. It is good, to fill the slow times and I can leave it on the desk , if it takes a few days to complete. I also stayed late at the shop on Friday and worked on a mini vacation book. Got the basics done. Now I just need to wait. I am planning to add our little Anniversary trip, Savannah vacation and a trip to the beach in the fall.
Happy Day!

Two entry in one day, I am on a roll today. Getting a lot done on my day off. Wanted to let you in on what I picked up over the weekend. Just a little of jerri's junque. Was excited to find 3 more blue ball jars( #0 #3 and 14) Trying to get a set. Only need a few more. Green oatmeal glasses are mine, I have a small collection. I guess I was into rusty tins and bottles this trip. Two items I am trying to make myself take to the store: The small cracked, discolored cream pitcher and the Kenmore Sewing scrap book. Now you will have to come by the shop to see if it made the cut.

Oh what a "Relaxing Weekend". We went north, sightseeing, antique /junk shopping, and enjoying each others company. Married 24 years on Sunday, we went to the park that we were married, and took a few pictures. Oh, how I love having time alone with hubby.
Picture is my front porch, I like sitting here early each morning. For quite time. Do you have a quite place?

Friday Challenge

today's challenge is late , I know but here I go. Today I want you to tell us about the music you listen to.. Do you like country or rock. Do you listen to elevator music when you scrapbook and country when you are in the car. Are you a closet jazz fan. Tell us about your favorites.

With this Challenge we have completed 10 pages. 1/2 through a album on " ME", my thoughts, "ME" , my views, "ME" but with a new twist.

See anything you need to complete a layout?

Travel north on Hwy 79 to Cleveland. Turn right at the traffic light. Left at the 4-way stop and we are on the left. See you there.

Jerri's jungue now has a place in my shop. I now have a small space in the back and I am selling my work and unique finds for your scrapbooking and art needs. Stay tuned for more pics.

Vacation up date-
we are going to Savannah Ga.

Welcome

Great find, this sign was on its way to the dump. And I rescued it. Love the way it has looked on my front porch , welcoming people at the door. The little red fire truck was mine as a child. One of my rusty loves.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I love anything that has a little age to it. You know what I mean, rust makes me happy. I will buy old kitchen cabinets with the paint peeling and the door hanging off the hinges. I will put the door back on and wipe at the chipping paint and ooolala I am a happy girl. Or does your heart feel happy when you see a old couple holding hand, again a little age. And last but not least, there is a ad in a magazines that is advertising ( I think) face cream. The little woman has so many wrinkles, but she is so beautiful. Again age. So for our Friday challenge, I want to see something with age. I know where I am going on this one.
