August is gone, September Rushing in!


I missed the month of August, boy was it busy, didn’t do a lot of things, but just kept on the go with kids after school, scrapping, cross stitch and charities. We have had a lot of small things going on. There is a display till November in our public library for the Angel Quilt Project. I with the help of Martha Thorn, put some pillows and quilts on display, Martha made a really great flyer to distributed to anyone who is interested to read about our organization. Well not our’s it is one we both belong too along with her mother Betty Seal, Nancy Harvey and Carol Lee in LA, that’s about it. Many of our members have moved off, quit stitching, or just plain quit doing charity work. You can check out the Angel Quilt sight for information about the group which makes quilts for neonatal babies in hospitals across the United States, with a Canada group, Europe group and the re activation of the Australian group.http://www.aqphome.org Also please remember Quilts for Older children, they are always in need of cross switchers, and can be found at there MSN groups web sight http://groups.msn.com/QuiltsforOlderChildren

The girls both have started taking gymnastics, which they seem to like quite well, they tumble, do back flips, hang from bars so the two monkeys should enjoy it very much. It was fun to watch them go through the paces with the teachers. It’s a very good class as the children are not rushed, all get a chance, all are praised, and there is enough teachers to handle the group with ease. Mason is in midget football. I haven’t been to a practice yet but will get there, as it’s held late and early on Saturdays I am usually a sleep, or cross stitching. I will defiantly have to lay the needle down and go to one of his games. Will hasn’t chosen what he wants to do yet. We are thinking he might like soccer. The European football, that might be a way to get him to go for it. It’s his own special kind of football.
Family are well, Phil is doing so much better. He can drive his car, go to rehab by himself now, and he got busy and cut his grass last week. Just don’t want him to over due and get down again. He has another grand child on the way so he’ll be busy with kids for a long while. With September rushing in, it’s cool here on most days, we have had a few 90 degree temps but not many this time out. It will get to cool for swimming, but not fishing, so Phil will have fishing buddies down at the Lake House till the first frost. Then were off to pumpkin time and great weekends for just relaxing playing with grandpa’s Wii. So say’s the 4 Musketeers.


Wanted to share with you a great Scrap booking sight. The Scrap Garden. I have been a member there for about 1 year. In that time I’ve taken part in quite a number of there challenges, chat room discussions, learning classes, and of course bought a few (LOL) kits. The Scrap Garden is an all round kind of sight. You can go to the store if you want to find a specific type of scrap booking kit, look through the forum to see what they offer in the way of challenges, games, or just tutorials for PSP and other forms of help. If you register you will find the men and women are very helpful with your scrapping questions.
Here is a few pictures I did with kits from the : The first one is Sisters, and it’s made from pjy’s free August Challenge color kit, I made it into a quick page, then used her flowers and a few temples from Snowraven and Bluebird freebie templets.the next one is the Quick pages with out the pictures
this is What I created for the first time. Then using pammyj’s Playtime Kit, I did my younger nephew Will sitting on a rock. He look so neat, cute, and had mini trucks stuffed in his pants pockets.



So this has been August. I will try to do much better for September, as I really do want to share with you the quick pages I did as a freebie. I will continue to learn the Serif Photo Plus X2 so I can do more of this and other types of scrapping ideas.
Oh yes before I forget to list them here are the links for the quick page freebie's:
