What I've been Doing!

Not much in order-but I have been away for awhile, so I thought I would share what I've been doing in my busy life as a mother, wife, daughter, and a creating chick.... Here is a pic of my mother's sunflowers up in Maine-I went home last week to help out with some family issues and to visit my family. My moms garden is pretty much picked over and cleaned out-but the sunflowers were still trying to hang on. Do you see the little visitors enjoying the nectar of the flower-I got pretty close to them, the little bees didn't seem to care about me. I had a nice visit with my family, here is my mother Ada, she had a few strokes about 6 years ago and her life is spent in a wheelchair and she enjoys living, always smiling and happy. She loves to sit and enjoy the birds that flock to her bird feeders and enjoys her sunflowers. She is a strong women and I admire her will to live and move on everyday (she only has use of one arm and one leg..). So proud of you mom.

While visiting my family, I brought my crafting supplies, I created some handmade cards for my mom to have...love the daisy flower ones....

God's beauty-here is me driving up to Maine (all I can say it's a long drive)!!!!

Oh Yes!! Can not forget that our baby Olivia got her driving license before I left-Whoo hooo she did it, we are so proud of her, and happy it's over, now she can drive for us!!!!! hahah

Our children grow up way to fast, if you have young ones enjoy them. Life moves fast.

My little Scrap Helper!!!!

Don't you just love my little scrappin helper...Her name is Sasha!!! I just love her, I placed my worktable next to the bay window in my room and the cats just love to lay on it...arrrr

These pics are bittersweet for me, see this cute girl has been sick for a few months and we just found out that she has all the signs for FEIL Lukema and possibly AIDS...very sick little girl.

My heart is so broken, I just love her she is my baby, I hold her like a baby all the time and she loves it but since her fever 103 lasting over a month she doesn't like to be held...ok have to stop the tears are flowing....

it looks like she doesn't like that placement of that flower...come on mom!!!!! lol

She is so weak and tired but what a love, she has filled this family with such love and blessing for the past year.....


queen of paper!!!!

Happy 4th of July!!!!!

We gathered the family up and met our friends at Walmarts parking lot in Littleton, NH on Friday night, it was a perfect night for fireworks...they were awesome, the town was packed!!! I love being able to do fun stuff with my family and it doesn't cost a pennie... I couldn't believe some of pictures came out really nice....ohhhhh ahhhhh ohhhh

the blast at the end was sparkling delight!!!!! Here is the Baker family being so goofy but loving every moment of the fireworks!!!! love this one....

The best part was having some friends join up with us...I love this pic of Connie and Shawn watching the fireworks....

Shawn found a free seat in a Walmart shopping cart!!! We told him in the dark he looked like ET!!!!!! He had a blast....

everyday moments but a life time of memories...

What a Life.....

A cat's life is so simple, wake up, eat, sleep, and do it all over again. Tiger is a huge cat (he is like the dog we never got) he loves to eat crumbs off the floor, ice cream!!!! He is so loving and wants all the attention.
Our weekend was spent cleaning around the house, working on the mess I created in my studio which isn't done. Nice weather was here for the weekend and Emilee and I played a little basketball and Tiger was our audience....so excited as you can tell.
Now it's off to work this morning, just wanted to drop in and say enjoy the nice weather and be creative today.

Here is a couple of layouts I made last night for my weekend scrappin (in my living room to drive my husband crazy I have a studio but no tv in there) he is ready to buy me one. Yes

The layouts I used Bo Bunny paper and stickers, stamp... and distress inks by Tim Holtz. And of course Tattered Angels Glimmer mist......have to mist something... chipboards, gems.
