I have a senior!!!

Just wanted to share a few of my daughter's senior photos from her session with a local photographer. They are beautiful and I chose to order the cd of the entire session so that I have the freedom to do what I want with the photos. Can't decide which one is my favorite, I have 111 to choose from!!! Here is just a sampling of the photos that were taken.

I know it has been a long time since my last post, but life is hectic as usual. I went out of town for a work trip and just can't seem to get back into the groove of things at home. I will soon be back to normal and trying to post more than once or twice a month...of course I still don't know if I have any readers, think I am doing this as sort of a journal of my life happenings, hey that is okay too!!!

This weekend is another trip with the girls, it has been planned for awhile and as it gets closer I am starting to dread it more, not that I don't want to go, just that I really want to be home!!! It's a beach trip so I should just have fun and not worry! I promise I will try!!! Gotta get to my errands for the day!

Graduation!

Just thought I would share some of my latest cards that I made over the weekend for all my daughters friends. I got the inspiration for this card from somewhere on the internet, if I could remember I would give credit, but it is not an exact copy so it is just slightly similar.

Below is a mini paper bag purse album that I made as a gift for one of my daughter's friends, I included photos that span the last 12 years they have been friends...I made 2 others that are just paper bag albums but I forgot to take photos of them! UGH!

The past several weeks have been so busy and hectic...I am definitely glad that summer vacation is beginning! We have a few plans but for the most part we are spending the summer at home enjoying being here! I do have 2 beach trips planned, one for work next weekend and the next one with my Girl Scouts for our last big trip before 3 of them head to college! As a family we will be spending time at our camper, we were suppose to go to San Francisco but plans fell through for that trip, oh well, maybe next Summer!
I have been spending some time this week just relaxing and catching up on TV shows, I am sad because over the summer there is not much on TV to watch...but it does force me to spend some time outdoors...of course it has been raining so much we can't do that!
I am usually doing some gardening and planting this time of year, but I have just not been in the mood this year...finances are not overflowing so I am opting to not plant many annuals, actually I haven't decided if I will plant any this year..sad but true! I just need some grass to grow in my yard...we have 3 bradford pear trees and they provide great shade, but Bermuda grass cannot survive in the shade so now we mow dirt...it is lovely...gotta make a plan to grow some grass!!!
I think I should focus my attention this year on grass and not flowers...of course the flowers are much prettier! Wish me luck, I have such a hard time growing stuff in the south, it was much better when I lived in England.
Gotta get back to the family, they are hovering over me wanting my attention!

Warning, lots of layouts

I decided that I would just share all the rest of my layouts that I have been doing over the course of the last month since spring break...if I don't go ahead and post them I never will get any time. Plus I have more to share and prom photos so that will be later in the week. Enjoy!

lonely, lonely blog friends

Just a quick post to say I am still super busy and have no time to post any fun stuff that has been happening, maybe after the weekend I can share some prom pictures...that is what we are getting ready for now!
I just have so much to catch up and share, but no time today! I will keep you in suspense just a little longer...if there is anyone that really reads my blog!!!

I'm Sorry

I have to apologize to my blog this week I know you are lonely without me...but life is busy and there has been no time to devote to you. It's not like many people read my blog, actually not sure if anyone visits on a regular basis...but it is a way for me to track my creative life! Unfortunately I volunteer for everything and find that I have little time for me so things like this get shuffled to the back burner, when in reality it is what I want to do the most!!! So again I am sorry so for the neglect this week, it is not intentional!

I will leave you with a few of my most recent layouts...no time to explain them but here they are!

A Layout with Photos

Here is the layout I showed yesterday with photos that I added. On my way to work so I have no time to tell about my week so far, but I can't believe that I am posting 2 days in a row and I even had time to do a new background and header for my blog...wow! Don't be too impressed cause it doesn't happen that often!

Have a great Thursday, it is one of my favorite days of the week...think it's because I go to work later on Thursdays and I get some time in the mornings to just do my thing!

Mid Week Post

I don't know why it works out this way but I always do a mid week post...you would think I would do something on Monday or Tuesday since those are my days off from work, but I guess I get busy with other things and find myself posting on Wednesday. Crazy I know, but at least I am blogging...that is still a new thing for me! I want to share today my tis the season album by Teresa Collins. I joined a giveaway over at her blog several months ago and won this awesome album, it has literally been months and I am just now getting the time to put the album together, but wait I have no photos in the album, that will take another couple months!!!

The kit also came with instructions to make a 12x12 layout, this photo was taken before I added my pictures, but I promptly came home and add the photos, but havn't taken photos of it yet...that will have to wait!

Stay tuned because I have about 25 new layouts to share, I have been on a roll for the past 2 weeks and have been super creative and busy! Makes me so happy when I can be creative and productive!
