bee watching!!!! I would rather be bird watching but will do that this winter!!!! even though we have tons of birds....mostly crows-crows in my backyard all the time!!!
with the holiday celebration, I found some free time to play in my studio (when I really should have been cleaning it) here I created some EMBELLIES for my 4th scrapbook layouts I will be working on....
That's right I am a twin, here we are Peter and I on our 1st Birthday in 1971!!! Aren't we cute!!!
Our first cook out and camp fire for the year, we have been so super busy since prom passed us. Right into end of school finials, pool season started at work and really busy there. With graduations and parties life needs to slow down. But as you can see in the next photo life doesn't slow down when you get a snake visiting you in your dishwasher....eeekkkk
Isn't he kind of cute, not!!!!! He must of came in the house on the tomato plants we brought in for the night. Lee but him back outside, the poor little guy didn't like Lee kept on biting or trying to bite Lee's hand, his little mouth just couldn't fit on his finger.
Memorial Day our town has a little parade and Lee is one of the guys firing the rifle, it was a beautiful day and then we had friends over for a cookout. Now the tears start to flow, here is our youngest daughter Emilee graduating from 8th grade, she even received an award. We are so proud of her.
Emilee and her father. love this photo, daddy was so proud of his little girl. Boy they grow up was too fast. Now both our girls will be in High School, one a Freshmen and one a Senior.
I have been getting the bug to create some more primitive items, a line of cards would be nice, and some stitchery. I hope to create some over the summer. Enjoy your family and friends with a cool ice tea and a slice of watermelon.
Olivia's 17th birthday party, it got really loud with the Karaoke singing. They had a blast!!!
Olivia's Prom 2010, here she is dancing with her father before the parents had to leave for the night. It's nice for the parents get to come and see everyone before the prom starts. Great photo moments.
Olivia and Heidi getting pics done at our friends house.
I have been busy making scrapbook layouts for awhile now, trying to be creative everyday for more scrapbook inspiration hop over to my other blog http://pegbaker.blogspot.com the flowers are made from strips of fabric I had laying around my sewing area, simple tied a knot at one end and rolled toward me and glued as I turned. I will post a more detailed post and pics soon. I have started my veggies inside but the weather isn't helping us outside, here in East Coast it can be touch and go in the Spring.
more inspiration-trying my hand at blending inks over stamped images..love how these came out, going to make them into wall art for our house.
Spring is trying to come in the Northeast Coast here in New Hampshire, yes today is going to be a beautiful sunny day Yeah more yard work to be done....
Here is a pic of my daughter Olivia and me, you see my time has been spent taking care of her, she has been very ill for over a month and we have been in and out of doctor offices, blood work and missing alot of school. These photos are from last week, Olivia had a small procidure done. Now we are on the waiting game again for the test to come back. This is why I have been away from blogging. Sorry for that.
Poor girl first time in a hospital gown, room and hooked up the tubes, she wasn't very happy but they let her bring in her favorite frog....next photo is a layout I did with some new scrapbook papers I bought, I love how it turned out..and it's of Olivia.

I have been scrapbooking alot lately, handmade flower embellishments by me. I had so much fun with glimmer mist to change the color to match the paper which is glimmer mist too.
Baby it's been a little cold here in New Hampshire!! Saturday night snow fell and left a beautiful blanket of fresh fallen snow. After church on Sunday the girls and I went out to try to build a snowman, but the snow wasn't sticky enough, so they did the best they could and he turned out really cute....
