Scrapbooking Class

2008-09-21T12:34:00.000-07:00

I went to the class a little late and boy what a night we had.
We have our class in the community center. They had rented the upstairs for a concert and forgot to tell us. There were 12 bands that played til midnight. It was hard rock.
We thought the ceiling was going to fall in a few times.

The lady that heads our class is adopting a baby and it is due Dec. 24. Another lady and I are giving her a baby shower and decided to use all our time making the baby shower cards. They turned out so cute. I unfornately did not get a pic of them. With all the noise I forgot.

The Community Center will be hearing from me on Monday.

In Loving Memory of My Mother...

2008-06-03T20:30:00.001-07:00

God saw her getting tired,

a cure not meant to be,

so He put his arms around her,

and whispered..."Come with me"

Paula Ann Hamilton
February 4, 1947 - March 31, 2008
Mom was 61 when she passed. She fought brain cancer for 16 months. We
are so blessed to have had all the time with her that we did. The world
will be a mcuh lonelier place without her.
Momma will we never forget you!

I apologize

2008-05-02T18:01:00.001-07:00

for not keeping up on this site. I have been so busy with my family

and my mom, sometimes I don't know if I am coming or going.

My mom is still with us but she is very tired and told the nurse yesterday she is ready to go.

This makes me sad in a way but I know she is in pain.

Happy Easter

Two new cards

2008-03-16T17:55:00.001-07:00

This is a make-n-take from my last SU party I attended.

I made this for my 4 yr. old nephew's birthday.

Tuesday

2008-02-21T11:03:00.000-08:00

was not a good day for me. My husband was kind enough to let me go to my mom's a day early. I needed that break. My sister is up from Calif. visiting. Always fun to see her.

Fact #21
When I travel to Calif. to visit family we have a few MUST stop in Chico. Jon & Bon's Ice Cream, Windy's Chinese, Hula's, and Burger Hut. Yum Yum.

Fact #22
My favorite bread to make is Pumpkin. I make it using a banana bread recipe but substitute in Pumpkin. It always comes out so moist. When I get home I will add the recipe to this.

So Sorry...

2008-02-19T09:13:00.000-08:00

I have been sick and was not very good about doing anything. I have not even scrapped.

Fact #14
I have always filed my own taxes. I like doing it. (I love math, maybe that is why.)

Fact # 15
I hate my middle name. My siblings were named after family members and I was not. I just have never liked that I have an original name.

Fact # 16
My favorite color is Orange. I don't know why but I love it. I have an orange coat, purse, cell phone, socks, you name it. My friend tells me all the time that I need "serious help." I just laugh.

Fact # 17
I love photograph. I took a class in college and did learned all kinds of cool ideas. Now with the digital cameras it is even better. My mother has a few of my photos, blown up and on the wall. What a good momma.

Fact # 18
I have worked in two National Parks and loved every minute of it. I served food in a cafeteria for 2 summers in Yellowstone, at Old Faithful. I loved it there. What an amazing experience.

Fact # 19
I always wanted to travel in Alaska on the train. I want to start in Anchorage and go all the way to Denali. I have seen the travel channel and can't wait to go.

Fact # 20
I have a brother who we adopted when he was in his 30's. He was alone in the world and needed a family. My parents are the type who love everyone and my mom opened her arms and brought him in. He is now married to a Wonderful woman and I have the CUTEST neice ever.

2008-02-12T05:57:00.000-08:00

Fact #13
My mother was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer (Feb 07) in her speech center and they were not able to remove it. They gave us 6 months and she has now made it a year. I dedicate two days a week to go and take care of her and do all the housework. I love spending that time with her. I pray everyday that we get one more year.

Fact #14
My favorite "All Time" best tv show is Northern Exposure. It was set in Alaska. I always wished I lived somewhere like that.

Fact #15
I applied to the University in Fairbanks, Alaska when I was just graduated and was accepted. I ended up not going because I didn't think I could handle the distance from my family. I wish now I had gone just one year. I could only imagine the experiences I would have had.

Saturday Ramblings.....

2008-02-09T13:17:00.000-08:00

Ok so I have been a bad blogger for a few days. I happen to trip over a pile of stuff in my office (kids put stuff away, hahaha) and I hurt my back. We had our Late Night Ladies Night for Scrappin' and I was pretty well not with it for the evening. I was in so much pain that I took some meds and was loopy for the rest of the night. I did manage to make 2 scrapbook pages.

Fact # 10
I love to do crossword puzzles. I even subscribe to a puzzle magazine.

Fact #11
I love watches. I have all kinds of different ones. One of my favorites is an M&M watch. I still have watches I collected as a child.

Fact #12
My favorite gifts from my husband has been Black Hills Jewelry. He has done very well in selecting nice pieces. My favorite, so far, has been a ring with my birthstone and my daughters.

Fact #9

2008-02-06T07:05:00.000-08:00

My favorite author is Jane Kirkpatrick. She writes about pioneer women and I have had the pleasure of meeting her in person and hearing her speak. She lives in Oregon and is such a down home person. Here is a link to her website. I promise a good read with any of her books.
http://www.jkbooks.com/

Fact #8

2008-02-05T14:04:00.000-08:00

I love to play BINGO!

My mom and I went to a casino many years ago and played Bingo and

I won $1000. I was so excited.

2008-02-04T21:48:00.000-08:00

Fact #7

I have a tatto and want another one really bad. The first one I had done about 16 years ago and now after having kids, I want to design another. I found out a tattoo shop here locally does free tats on tuesdays.

Super Bowl Sunday

2008-02-03T09:09:00.000-08:00

Fact #6
I greater dislike football. I grew up with men who would lay in front of the tv and watch football all day. For the first time in years I am going to a friend's house for a Super Bowl Party. The men are watching it and the women will scrapbook in the garage (this is the main reason I am going).

A fun day crafting...

2008-02-02T15:26:00.001-08:00

This is a V-day card for my husband.

Inside message...

I bought this set from SU (Lovely as a Tree). I love it.
The next three cards are the same but each has just a little something different.

Fact #5

2008-02-02T09:20:00.000-08:00

I love animals. I have a 16 yr. old Blue Heeler and a 5 yr. old mini (teacup) dapple daschund. We also have 2 cats and one stray that has been here for 6 months. Now when it comes to naming them all we have to pick names that are mountains, rivers, anything nature. So we have Siskiyou, McKenzie, Rainier, and Turtle. (We have already used the names Rogue and Cascade.)

Fact #4

2008-02-01T08:18:00.000-08:00

My first car was a 1976 Ford Pinto Wagon with the fake wood paneling on the side.

It had no heater but it drove great.

(this photo is for example only, not the actual car)

Fact #3

2008-01-31T09:53:00.000-08:00

I have a fear of snakes.

Growing up we spent a lot of time on the river and unfortunately there were rattlesnakes all over.

I just get the quivers when I have to think about them.

Scrapbooking pages

2008-01-30T08:53:00.000-08:00

Fact #2

I have 6 children(ages 21 to 8): 5 are my step-children and one is mine biologically. I think of each of them as my own. I love how we have learned to work together as a family. It was not an easy merger but we did it.

A FACT A DAY...

2008-01-29T10:21:00.000-08:00

Angel at http://angelosity.blogspot.com/ is challenging everyone to post one fact a day and then at the end of 100 days make a scrap page.

I thought I would give it a try.

Fact #1

My husband and I met over the internet, on one of the match sites. He did it on a dare and look what he got. Lucky man, that is what I say.

A snow day...

2008-01-28T18:05:00.000-08:00

and I just couldn't do much but stay inside and scrap. Darn!

5 Birthdays Here I come......

2008-01-26T16:39:00.001-08:00

I was working on some Bday cards and I was pleased to

get 3 done. All are done with SU products.

Stampin Up Party

2008-01-20T10:38:00.000-08:00

Friday night I was invited to a party and we made these two make-and-takes.

Two Step Stamping and Versa Mark

This is my favorite card. Just love all the detail.

It was the first time I tryed 2-step stamping. Love it.

I thought this would be a great V-day card.

**Using these for Bingo at Barb's site.**

Last night...

2008-01-12T16:22:00.001-08:00

we had our monthly "Late Night Ladies" stamping group.
I worked on cards all night.

Missing you card (stampin up)
Thank you card (stampin up) Happy Birthday (stampin up)
Friendship card (stampin up)

These two top cards I got to finally use the CRICUT. What fun.
Lawrian finally getting to do her pages at midnight.

Christmas Thank You's

2008-01-06T21:26:00.001-08:00

These cards are also for Barb's Bingo Game.

I used the tutorial (crisscross cards) from Beate's Blog.

http://beate.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com/

The stamps inside both cards are from SU.

Happy Birthday to Grandma

2008-01-06T21:25:00.001-08:00

I am using this as an entry into Barb's Bingo game.

I used the "Warm Words" stamp set from SU.

My Gift to myself

2007-12-26T18:55:00.000-08:00

I was on craigslist this morning and found this. I love it.

Craigslist is the best!

Finally a post...

2007-12-26T08:29:00.000-08:00

I am happy to report that I handmade most of all the gifts we gave this year. I did make all the Christmas cards, Yahoo.

I purchased a paper rack on craiglist for my new craftroom. I am just awaiting my table back and it will be complete.

I am excited to get to scrapbooking and replenishing my cards.

Happy New Year to all.

Finally Finished with the advent calendars

2007-12-07T08:03:00.000-08:00

I have been working on these for 1 1/2 weeks.

I am happy with the outcome.
They are both very similar but so unique.

2007-11-22T15:57:00.000-08:00

I have been hoarding pictures and finally

decided to try scrapbooking.

I am far from done but off to a good start.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL.

2007-11-22T10:56:00.000-08:00

2007-11-10T17:37:00.000-08:00

We had our first class. What a good time we had.

This is the make-n-take we did.

The rest of the time we worked on projects.

This is a mini photo album for my nephew.

Thomas the Train
Lastly I had 75 corsages and buttouneers to make. I added
this placart to them.

I thought they turned out great. Everyone is
unique.

It has been..

2007-11-09T08:05:00.000-08:00

so long since I have done any crafting. My kids have felt left out and lonely. I took a week off going to my mom's and stayed home and had a "normal" week with the kids. I has been very nice but not realistic. I so badly wanted to be with my mom and not lose this time. Hard to be caught in the middle.

I am going to go to a class tonight on scrapbooking and learn some new techniques. We will meet at the Lodge and play for 6 hrs. I can't wait.

DIRT CAKE

2007-10-29T22:14:00.000-07:00

My SIL has this on her website and I think I remember her making

one time for a party. Very nice centerpiece.

Flowerpot Cake (aka Dirt Cake)

Serves 10 to 121 medium-size flower pot (about 8 inches in diameter works well, or use two small pots about 6 inches in diameter)

1 garden trowel

3 large gummy or plastic wormsplastic flowers

1 16-ounce bag Oreo cookies

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened

1 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened

1 cup confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 4-serving-size boxes instant chocolate-fudge flavor pudding

3 cups milk

1 12-ounce tub whipped topping, thawed

Crush cookies until they resemble potting soil, set aside.

Cream butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Set aside.

Combine pudding mix and milk until well blended, then fold in the whipped topping.

Gently fold cream cheese and pudding mixtures together.

To put the cake together, layer 1/3 of the cookie crumbs followed by 1/2 the pudding mixture, 1/3/ of the crumbs, the rest of the pudding mixture and topping with the remaining cookie crumbs.

Refrigerate 10 to 12 hours.

About 1/2 hour before serving, remove from refrigerator and decorate with flowers.

Serve by digging out portions with the trowel.

RAK's Needed!

Michael and Alissa Dunn and their son Isaiah were blessed with beautiful twin baby girls on July 4, 2007. The pregnancy went fantastic and the twins were full term without any issues. Madeline Ora and Isabella Grace were wonderful additions to the family. Around the end of August, Michael and Alissa noticed that Maddie’s abdomen was a little swollen and firm, but she was acting completely normal. A few days later at the girl’s 2 month check-up, the pediatrician took one look at Maddie’s abdomen and sent them to the hospital for x-rays. A CAT scan shortly after revealed that Maddie had a large cancerous tumor called neuroblastoma Stage 4S. To give you an idea, this tumor has grown to about the size of a softball in her tiny body.

Once checked-in at Children’s Hospital in Detroit, Michigan, the doctors quickly decided to take a look at identical twin Bella. Unfortunately, Bella was also diagnosed with neuroblastoma. According to their doctors, this is only the 9th reported case of twins have neuroblastoma at the same time. Both girls have undergone one round of chemotherapy and are beginning their second. You can see pictures and read their story from their own words at their website: http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/dunntwins.

I want to put out a challenge to all who read this.

My mother is fighting terminal brain cancer and has about 2-3 months left. She has just started intravenous cancer treatments. One of the best things we can do for her is to make her laugh. They say it is good therapy.

I was hoping I could get a few of you ladies to make her a card that would boost her spirits. She loves to get mail, like getting a gift in every envelope. Please keep her in your prayers and us family, too.

I can't attach a prize with this challenge, but the best gift you can get is the one you give.

You are PAPER!

You are an all natural basic person who likes to act as a foundation to others. You are willing to take a backseat in most of your relationships and let others take the spotlight, while you show your support and help them shine!

Underneath it all, you are the one who makes it all happen.

You are the focus and stability in any group, even if you are not the leader. Others look to you to set the pace and provide ideas for ways to get things done.

But Paper Beware - sometimes you get a little edgy with the people who look to you for support and can give them some papercut remarks that can hurt their feelings. Remember to watch what you say, because you are best when leading by example.
