Hooligans Halloween 2010

These are the Hooligan Level 1 and Level 2 and Level 2 My Stickease from Close To My Heart. I love these colors. I know I am not a very good photographer, but you have to do the best with the camera you have. These are pictures of my daughter, Courtney with her three dogs, Jasper, Toby and Miles, and my girl, Abby the Irish Setter. We had fun that afternoon, and they were fun to crop too!

Well, this month is really flying by...they seem to do that don't they? Tomorrow one of my daughters and I are going to be cropping from Wednesday until Sunday afternoon at the beach. I really hate packing for these kinds of crops, I feel like I take "everything", which I don't...if you saw all that I had you would know that I didn't pack it all! I want to "slim down" and take on the necessary items. But they are ALL necessary, you never know what creative juices are going to start flowing and what you will need! Am I right girls? Must have the stamps, ink pads, stickles, embossing powder, heater, watercolored pencils, Copics, .... let's see... have I forgotten anything? Well, I know if I did...it is waiting for me in the hall by the downstairs door! Please tell me I am not the only one who suffers like this! (Our Pastor was talking 2 weeks ago about remember the Lord's Supper and he referred to all of us that are photographers and scrappers, that we capture these moments to remember and then crop them....he said that our group that meets at the Church once a month, that he always asks me if Cliff and I are having any trouble, because it looks like I have taken everything and moving out!! I was soooooo embarrassed. ) But ladies you know that you have to have it wilth you because when you are away, you sure can't run home to get what you need! Maybe when you are across town, but not when you are three hours away!! Anyway, that last crop was on my birthday and I got to spend it doing what I love. I got 38 pages done!! All but a few embellishments that I didn't have, and some journaling that I like to do when I am alone with my thoughts! I was pretty excited!

All this to say....I hope I can finish up all of 2010 pictures and work on 2009! Uh, yes...I am very far behind....I done some, but want to compile them into books together, instead of this and that particular event!. So far 2010 is in 3 albums, and could go to 4! Wish me luck! I will get back to you with some pictures and a post after I start! Ya'll have a good evening! So glad Spring is here!

I love this Close To My Heart Stamp!! It makes my heart soar! Just wanted to share with you!

March 8th, 2011

Taxes are done and filed! Yea!!!!! Now I can concentrate on the "fun things"! I have tried to scrapbook a couple of evenings during the week. I have been successful. Will give you my totals to date later....left that info at home. I have been scrapbooking some really hard things for me...pictures of my dear mother. Her birthday would have been on Monday the 14th. I was her early birthday present, as mine is Saturday the 12th. This will be the first time my mother will not be able to call and wish me a happy birthday. Going to be hard, please keep me in your prayers....The pictures are wonderful, but very bittersweet as these fun times will never be again.
I am having a crop on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th at my church, Central Carolina Community Church. Hope we have a good turnout. I will let you know more later.

All, have a good day!
