Please take a minute to pray for his family as they mourn this loss. I cannot to begin to imagine as a mother how i would feel if i were Jenny Bates. Kiss your babies & pray for this family.

Finally!

So...at the ripe ole age of 6 she finally lost a tooth....and folks...she worked on this one long and hard!

Saturday she went fishing with Shannon & Kelsey and apparently during a boring part of the day she started working on the tooth (which just grosses me out because her hands could NOT have been clean! ARGH!). I was scrapbooking with my girlfriends and they called and told me about the days events...fish catching, tooth losing & 4-wheel riding...they had a great time! It wasnt until i got home and confiscated Kelsey's cell phone that i see this picture (stinking cute!) and then the one below ..which i am still trying to recover from....just looking at it right now is making me sick.

i know that i have taught them not to put their hands in their mouths....no matter how excited the moment is....the fish, worm, dirt and whatever else fingers in this mouth right now....yuckie!

i know what you are saying....is this for real?

i love old pictures! This has got to be the most funny picture that i have ever seen of my family. This was taken December 21, 1980. These are my relatives and the one standing is my dad! I remember this event...it was my grandpa's (he is in the right corner puckering to Grandma who is pointing at Mom who is taking the picture!) farm sale....what a hoot this picture is. What was going on? I have know idea what was so funny....but look at the table...the beer (Old Milwakee)...the whiskey.... the chocolate/vanilla marble cake (i bet my mom made that!) the sweet rolls left over from the morning, the macarama plant hanger...My Aunt Annie is holding a bottle of whiskey and i dont even remember her ever drinking....the silly hats.... what a great picture! Good times these were....Good times!

Note: Mom & Dad....i am scrapbooking these and i will make a copy for you guys....this is one for the wall!

TAGGED....Not really sure what that means but i am honored!

So...Kathie D is a Rusty Pickle Chef (instructor) that i met at the Convention this past weekend...what a fun gal!

Well...yesterday she TAGGED me...how fun! (i think) I tend to be a lurker on a lot of blogs...never really one to leave a comment...but i am coming out gals....i guess that Clay Aiken has inspired me....wait...i am not coming out like "that"...not that there is anything wrong with that....but i am coming out of the lurker closet....i profess to you all that i will start leaving comments....anywho...part of the TAGGED duties are:

1. If you've been tagged, you can put the LOGO on your blog!

This is what TWO traveling scrapbookers pack!

This is what TWO scrapbookers packed to go to The Great American Scrapbooking Convention that was recently held in Chattanooga! OMG! Who are these two people? I mean...what did they think? Was the world going to end and they needed every last bit of crap they could ever bring? Hello...they were going to a crop with other croppers....could they not BORROW something? Did they need all of this? O crap...wait....that is my van.....oh...and my Quickutz bag there - barely fitting? Geezie Pete's.

Let me tell you though...we did NOT bring duplicate tools....we did NOT use all the crap that we brought.....and yes....it was as packed in on the way TO Chattanooga as it was on the way back.

Stop to PRAY...He needs PRAYER!

I have blogged about Camden before....I pray today that the Lord brings this little boy comfort. He is scared....things are happening to him right now that his four year old body just doesnt understand and rightfully he is scared! Please stop what you are doing right now and pray that the Lord will bring him comfort, stop whatever his causing him to be scared....instead of him seeing darkness Lord...let him see the glow of You...the warmth of You....let him seek comfort in Your arms...please Lord hold him tightly for he is so scared.

Friends...i know that you are in tears just as i am...i can hardly see the screen to type this....imagine his momma....Pray for her too!

Here is Camden's CaringBridge link. http://caringbridge.org/cb/viewJournal.do?method=executeInit

Allah Peanut Butter and Fluff Sandwiches!

huh? yeah...i said it too...you are not alone. Peanut butter & Fluff...hmmphf. Sounds good separately....but mixing it? Is that legal? Yes my good friends..it is...and it is wonderful! I mean...YUM to the TUM! I am SURE however it is not good for those on Weight Watchers....but...i was on a mini vacation! This was my half of the sandwich and it was good. (It was on wheat bread....does that subtract points?)

Try the Peanut butter & Fluff on wheat (of course) and let me know how ya like it!

Busy week last week with the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Chattanooga...what a blast it was...i have stomach aches from the amount of laughing that i did! I am always amazed at what great friends that i have made with just a simple common hobby! This trip i was able to gain a few more scrappers who i am blessed to add to my friend list...they are good gurls and i am happy to have had the chance to get to know them better! Love to them....Pam, Dana & ANita...you gurls are the best!

This weekend i am cropping at Eclectica from 10am - 10pm .... it is SCRAP PINK. I am hoping to get my chattanooga weekend mini album done...i will post. I think that i will use Rusty Pickle products! I met the Rusty Pickle ladies at the convention and really liked them too! Kathie, Libby & Tamara.....they are good ladies....talented and fun! Hope to see them again and maybe even crop with them...i like to be surrounded by talent! :-)
