In Your Heart

Angelscrappers beautiful background and Linda's beautiful words. Piper was sick with the H1N1 when I did this. She is all better now.

Sweet Piper

Mommy was playng with the makeup for Pipers Christmas show she is in. I snapped this using effects in PSE-7 to accent those beautiful beautiful eyes. Just happened to find this background that came so close to matching her shirt. Thanks for looking in

Baby Dumpling

Anytime now this little doll will be walking on her own. She lets go and does not realize it. Edit on Baby Dumpling done in PSE-7. I think the word art is Random Thoughts..I have so much of her work lol, I forget sometimes. She is so gifted. Thanks for looking in.

Your Dreams

Every time I see them grab a hat, I have to grab my Kodak ..Miss B and her sweet self. A freebie kit I found.Word art by Random Thoughts

that look those eyes

My sweet Brigette Ann what a dramatic child she is becoming lol..This was a freebie kit. The effects on Miss Bridgey were done in PSE-7

My New Shoes

Baby Dumpling got a new pair of shoes..(now the girls are calling her this lol) She was very receptive to the idea of the new shoes, never cried or tried to wiggle away..Sometimes it takes two to hold on to her to get her dressed..OMG is she busy or what.. I love the off the beat photo like this..hey almost anything can be salvaged in the digital world..and this was just too tempting not to work with. Thanks for looking in and this was a freebie kit.. and the shoes are by Striderite..

Just a little fun

Our Baby Miss Piper, this was when she was about three and she is really feeding the duckies at the Creekside park. See her hand in the bag is cheerios. I put Angel scrappers Bunny in there.
This is her hand painted background. other elements are freebies that I found through the Digi Free Search Engine.She is reading so well now, and has homework every night..Kindergarten..I remember taking a nap lol..she is going full day. I love you my sweet sweet girl

Moment with Piper

Another one of Carols backgrounds. Piper having a quiet moment up the tree lol...we got such beautiful photos yesterday, course Kelli has the better camera and they were truly awesome. My little Kodak caught some good stuff too, and this is one of them. The girls had so much fun in the leaves, Doug piled them high and let them just have a great time!!! The look on his face while they were having so much fun.. What a great daddy he is. Kelli was snapping away with her camera..sigh...some day I will have that good camera lol...I hope you enjoy my little tree hugger..

I Love This Kid

First of all I want to thank Carol aka Angelscrapper for this kit,it is hand painted and drawn I believe.. It fit the photo perfectly. Bob and Miss Baby Dumpling..I love the photos like this, a half photo so to speak. It speaks volumes to me..God I love Digital!!!

My Guys, My Michael, how sweet he is. My Bob, is losing so much weight, but I can see the age on him now. He turned 70 on the Nov 1st.. I had a scare with him a couple of weeks ago. He forgot one whole day..Simply did not remember what went on the whole day. After talking to him for about an hour and a half,it came back to him..Yep, call to the Dr and he could not find anything that would have caused it. He checked him out,and he has a physical scheduled in Dec. It was scary, my mind went wild thinking all kinds of things. He is the strong one, he makes things go around here..For 45 years I have loved this man,I can not imagine anything without him. I caught a glimpse of that for a moment..He seems fine now. This was taken in Kelli's back yard yesterday. My two men..thanks for looking in........

For Maria

For Maria...for being so brave, and good and for being my friend..For being so strong for Nick. You are an example to so many. I ask again for all who come here to pray for Maria. She has incurable cancer. I have never in all my life seen anyone cope with what she has been handed the way she copes with it. I wish I could be that brave about many things in my life. I love you Maria..God Bless you...

Summer memories

I love my flower photos, I miss going to the park now...no more flowers there..and this knee is not what it should be and walking a lot still hurts.. a lot.. It is all I can do to chase after the little girls and baby dumpling...wow is she a hand full right now. Not walking yet, but she will be any time now..she is now 18 lbs and 9 mos old. Thanks for looking in on my passion..and I have to say this..God Bless our military and God Bless the families at Ft. Hood, my heart is broken over what happened there. God Bless President Bush for going there today..

Me and Brigette Ann

Using Sooze's new kit once again, Time for Tea..this is our self portrait..baby dumpling was supposed to be in this with us, but she would not cooperate to sit still. She just spit up all over us. The word art is once again by Miss Linda of random thoughts. I love what she does with her word art..thanks for looking in..

Time for Tea

A beautiful kit by Scrappin and stuff with Sooze. The flower is one I photographed and edited. Miss Brigette, inviting you to tea!! thanks for looking in

everything about you

My Brigette Ann...God how I love this little kid! This was taken this summer . I have been absent from my blog since Halloween..it has been so busy here, those three little girls just keep me so busy and I have not felt very well the last couple of days. I think a touch of a stomach virus has me. I am not too far from home..we went to breakfast with my cousins today and we had to make a stop on the way home...I knew I was in trouble then..but we made it home and I have not done a lot, but lay around. Then my mouse is having a breakdown I think..Sometimes it freezes , and I have no clue why, I have changed the battery a lot..I am not sure what is going on with it. It happens at the darnedest times. Like when I am trying to play Wizard 101 and a big bad creature is trying to kill me dead lol... anyway, a blog that I love to read, is Farm living is the life for me by Lori Howerter..I just love reading her blog, a whole new way of living for Lori and she makes it so interesting..I am sorry to my friends that I have not been to visit your blogs. I will try to do better..word art by Random Thoughts..kit was a freebie, several freebies..love to all who come here, Judy

Happy Boo to YOU

Here is our little baby hot dog with her mustard and ketchup, her Nona Pat, and our friend Nick. Wow they looked so awesome! Baby's first Halloween and she was an angel..the girls loved having Nick help them with their trick or treating, I know I had over 400 kids here tonight..MY GOSH..it was like a steady stream..Of course none of them lived in this neighborhood, but I saw some funny things. I had to alter the ketchup and Mustard costumes for the girls, and spent last evening sewing them .. they were adult sizes.. Our dear Nona...every year she dresses up..I had a big ole pot of spaghetti and meatballs for dinner,oh it was good..then on to handing out the candy..I did better this year..I didn't eat it all up lol...Thanks for looking in. The kit was a freebie that I found on the digi Free..

This is our Carrie (now Karii) and yes that is a tatoo on her chest..I don't have a clue why lol..She is a wonderful young lady, she is a United States Marine, and I am proud of her.I found this on her facebook profile and decided to do something with the photo that was taken with a webcam. Thanks for looking in and the wordart is by Random Thoughts.The words around the frame are from a song she likes by Incubus. If you enlarge it you can read them

Playing outside

They are on the slide,it was one day that was so nice out, so sunshiny out, I didn't want to call them inside for their baths. When Mommy works late, we feed and bathe the kids before we send them home. Makes for a long long day sometimes, but we love being able to have them here and take care of them. Oh the stories I could tell..I should write it all down and write a book lol...But they will have the memories of being here and all the fun. Yesterday it rained all darn day..I hate rain..I really do! So after Pipey got home from school, everyone was in the mood for some reading, so we went through all the books, and picked out a ton of them and we read..Piper is reading very well also now..I remember kindergarten... we took naps..lol, she is counting and reading..It is fun to listen to her sound out the words and then see the look on her face when she can figure it out. Mike is going to the art museum today, so gotta get him up and get him going and I...have to clean...ugggg...have a happy day everyone who visits here..I love ya all...

In the blink of an eye

Our little angel face...here she is in her leotard and swirly skirt before going to lessons on Sun...Sunday...yep, they had a camp so they call it. She seems to be loving it...at least I hope she is, cause it is a lot of time. With Mommy and Daddy's schedule, I try to pick up what I can to help them. It has been very very busy here, and I have not had a lot of computer time..Baby dumpling, trys to eat my printer, so I have to stay out of the kitchen where my computer is, when she goes roaming around and the kitchen seems to be her favorite hang out. The word art is by Linda of Random thoughts. Miss Linda...thank you so much for your email the other day..I can not tell you how off the wall our emotions are here. It touches me deeply that you care..Thanks for looking in on our Ballerina. Love to all...Judy

Just hand it over

She almost looks like Raggedy Ann lol..We put the wig and hat on her and wa la this is it..She is getting to be quite the little character.. word art by Random thoughts, background was a freebie. Thanks for looking in..It is another cold dreary looking day. Only going to get up to 50. Hubby got up this morning and straightened up the house, all I gotta do now is vacuum and scrub..I so hope the sun does pop out for a bit at least. I am getting fixated on the weather, I am a sun person, I need it..Love to you all and have a great weekend...

My wish for you

Look how big our baby is getting. I can not believe this is our tiny teeny little girl of a few months ago..She eats like a little pig now!! She is drinking out of her sippy now and you better not get in her way with it either..She will grab it from you if you do. She is such a little personality..And now wants to get into what ever her sisters are playing or doing..much to their delight or their dismay, depending on their mood. All that I used are freebies from the digi free..thanks for looking in on what I love to do..I used two photos of baby girl and transposed one on top of the other. One was black and white with other effects and one was the regular photo..

Little Buckeyes

Our sweet little girls in their new hat that mommy got at the OSU game on Sat.. I have neglected my blog..I am sorry, my heart is just not in it right now. We are still reeling over Bay leaving to live with his Dad..I guess it would not be so bad, but it is the way he did it that stings to the soul. Mommy is in a very fragile state right now..and I am talking and talking to her to keep her up and not down in a depression. But I think I have lost. But I will not give up. Hang in there sweet girl, he will come around .When you are 13 almost 14, you think you know everything and you think you can be independent and do what you want, not thinking that your parents are responsible for the very air you breath.. ahhhh settle down life...I want some sunshine, I want rainbows...isn't there anyone out there that can do that...I laughed this morning..I woke up, and it was dark, and dreary and rainy looking, I looked at Bob and said, is it going to be like this again today...he said , Yep, I said...fix it Bob, you are supposed to fix everything, so fix this!. you all have a better day than I am having..I do love my blog and will try to be better about it...

Give me a minute

Mommy and Brigette worked on this page together. I think if Mommy had more time, she would get back into this.Thanks for looking in...

But I did

Happy Birthday Aunt Grace from your little namesake. She came in the door yesterday morning looking like this little imp with a secret lol..God is she cute or what..The house is quiet..I keep listening for some sounds, but I hear none..they have all gone home...shhhhhhh........ Mike is drying the dishes(no I don't have a dishwasher!) I wash, he dries. He helped me run the vacuum, he has one, and I have that great one that sucks up the carpet!! I love it.. His bedroom looks great, Kelli and Doug painted it and he got new bedspread and curtains and it is two tones of green and so pretty. Cleaned a lot of stuff out of that room..Mike likes to stack and pile stuff up. It is all gone now.. next is the hall and the living room. Hope to get that done before Bob's birthday. Want to have some cake and ice cream to celebrate his 70Th birthday. He does not want a big deal, and that is fine with me. We do so much at Kelli's house, this time we will celebrate here. So Grace, I hope you have a great birthday..we love you so much! Thanks for looking in on my little corner of the world...

Brigette's New Hat

Miss Brigette got a new hat this week. Now you know our kids love their hats, and wear one about all the time. Things are starting to settle down a little here..at least no one is sick right now..Papa is going to go with piper on a field trip next week..What a great papa he is..He went with Bay for several days to the 5th grade camp a few years back.. he is amazing. He never says no..he is going to be 70 the first of Nov, but the way he cares for these girls, you would never know it..My goodness, he does everything for those girls. I would be lost with out this man. the background is from Scrappin and stuff with Sooze kit My boy, the rest are various freebies that I found on the Digi Free. I love all these designers..they do such a great job and are so generous with their work..I just wish I would write down all the info when I do a page, but I don't then I forget what I used...Sorry ladies, but I love you all...thanks for looking in..Didn't Miss Linda(Random Thoughts) do a beautiful job on my blog..I do not know what I would do without her!

I am spoiled

Our little princess is not feeling very well today. She has cried a lot. We can find nothing wrong that we can see..Maybe her teeth??? I have her settled now..for a while anyway. Took the girls to their dance classes for mommy. She did not get out of work until almost 7 tonight. It makes it so hard on her and the kids. She has to be at work so early tomorrow but does get off earlier..YEA Mommy!! So the munchkins are spending the night and papa will take Pipey to school in the morning..I am tired and need to go to bed while baby princess is sleeping..So I think I will..I love you all....

eyes of a dreamer

Mommy was visiting on Sat and sat down at my computer and started experimenting with the scrapbook factory and going through my stash of kits. She did this page of Bridgey on her first day of pre-school. I wish she had more time to do this, but with being mommy and working so many hours it is difficult. She is Mommyx3 on Scrapbook Flair, course now is it 4,with baby Gracie. It has been difficult here the last couple of weeks. Bailey has decided that he wants to live with his Dad, so we are very sad he is not with us. IT has been very hard on Kelli. I think it would be fair to say that her heart is broken....yep that would be how I would describe it. It will get better Kelli, just hang in there with him. I know how much you love him, and at 13 almost 14 he does not think of that. He left one set of rules for another set and he does not realize that yet. This flu I had a few weeks ago came back and bit me again. Coughing all weekend long and feeling so lousy...I took the good cough med last night and did sleep finally..You all have a great day..thanks for looking in..

bestest friends award from digi fiddle

I tried everyway I could to save this on the side of the blog with the other awards but for some reason it would not. Thank you so much DigiFiddle..See, you never know whos looking and it may be YOU the next time..

That Grin

I have probably used this photo before, but I love that I could put something in her hand..Oh well, I have been neglectful..Sometimes family life just gets in the way of ordinary things..Some situations so sad,that you can not focus on anything else. I can not go into this any further right now...Kelli and Doug painted today, Mikes bedroom is a beautiful green..I will get used to it I know...I am not so much into the darker colors, but when it is all put together, it will be beautiful. The word art is by Random thoughts by Linda..Thank you my friend, I love all your work...

Adventure with Brigette

Brigette has wanted to go to the creek for several days now, and even in the rain..we took umbrella, Papa and Baby Gracie and went..she got to feed the ducks and the geese and once they got a little to close to us. She hid behind me..She fed them all her cheerios and was good to go ..She is such a tiny little thing and I just love her so much..She got to spend the night with me by herself..Piper begged to stay too, but as I reminded her, she had school tomorrow, so out the door she went to go home proclaiming..I HATE SCHOOL...yeh right..it interferes with her overnights with mama and papa..lol...My best buddy got back from her trip today..Miss Gerri, I sure did miss you, am glad you are back.. word art by Miss Scarlett, her blinkie is on here. Kits I used were freebies I found on the Digi Free..Edit done in PSE-7..
