Saying good bye is always hard to do

This photo of Scott telling his Dad good bye just touches my heart. They have had to day alot of good byes this year and it never gets easier. On the up side I did have alot of fun making this LO. Used the new Tim Holtz masks with some sprays made of dye ink. It works best if you spray your paper in a box to contain stray spray. Then remove masks, dry paper with heat gun and iron paper back to its' flat shape.

Fabulous

Basic Grey has done it again with their June bug line of pattern papers. I love this picture of Maggie Beth and Boyd with there little feet and toes plus a couple of great smiles.

Blinging it out at the Ball

I may have gone overboard with the bling on this one but, the occasion was a formal ball. The bling is 'Say it in Crystals' made by Prima. I resisted using this great product for along time because I thought you had to do the design one crystal at a time. Well duh, not so! It is already backed on tape and you just pull the whole strip of at one time. It already has adhesive on the back. You just place it on you project in the desired position and press it down. Wallah! instant bling to enhance a festive occasion!

Bragging Rights

I am the G-ma to some pretty great kids. I claim all the bragging rights that come with that title. This is my oldest grandson Sean. He is seven years old and recently started second grade. He spent his summer reading the Harry Potter books. They tell me he is reading at a fifth grade level! I think that is pretty cool! Way to go Sean!

One Last Summer Fling

We all met up at Red Top Mountain for one last summer picnic. The kids had a ball playing together on the play ground and in the water. The wave runner was a big hit with everyone. Although Cory and Debbie seemed to "REALLY" enjoy it! LOL The boys are playing football this year and enjoyed playing catch. Patrick was our Grill Master for the day and also showed off by jumping of the rock. Day two the girls headed for the American Girl store and the guys head for the Braves game. It was a fun fast weekend.

Summers End

Another summer is coming to an end. There was actually a hint of coolness in the air the morning. That is a welcome relief for sure. The moon flowers are blooming. I just love to go out in the evening and try to catch one rolling open. In this picture you can see that it has just a little more left in its fold before becoming fully open. The other flowers are working hard to churn out a few more flowers before the fist frost comes. Getting together with all the kids this weekend for one last summer fling. Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend.

Expecting

Finally got around to doing this page. I think the picture is so sweet. This will be the first page in Boyd Patrick's baby book. I just love these colors.
