Playin' with my new toy...

I finally get to use Plug Ins!!! Someday...Actions...
Here's my Original (above)...
Then add a little "ambiance"...
And, a close up with extra sparkle...I LOVE this little face!
...These definitely look much more detailed up close...you'll have to click on 'em...
(OK, they really don't get that much bigger when you click on them...someone will have to let me know how to do that...)

You get the Idea...

Here's the sampling of my 4x6 desktop frame calendar of the Reavis' Grandkids!
The hardest part was choosing which beautiful papers to use! (Thanks especially to SP, JenW, NancieRJ and Michelle C.!! and to the many more artists that I used odds and ends...)

Merry Christmas!!


Just a real quick "Holiday Hello" to everyone! This is the cover "Christmas Card" to my 4x6 frame calendars I made for gifts this year. They turned out pretty cute, thanks to some of my favorite designers! (SP, JenW,ScrapArtist) I don't have a LO of them yet, so I'll post that after Christmas.
But I just wanted to be sure to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas!"
...what a special time of year this is...to be remembered in our hearts, Every Day.
God Bless You, Every One!

Scrappin Lately?

Journaling reads: ("Ohh Mommy, Look! This must be where Fairies live...")


(Psalm 139..."...You created my inmost being...I am fearfully and wonderfully made..."



This week with all the snow...and not being able to go to work....was such a nice break! And, I got to do some scrappin'! Finished up Jen Wilson's Meaning contest, and played a little more with SMJ's new kit....so fun! AND I've been designing a 4x6 frame calender for family Christmas presents...really nice to feel like I'm accomplishing something fun.



David and I finally got to have a "date night" last night...the church we go to has a "kids night in" evening in Dec. so parents can go out and eat and shop, or whatever. So we did that last night. I was sooo excited to get dressed up a bit and go out! Dinner...was actually horrible. And the movie that I thought would be perfect for us...romantic, sci-fi, timetraveling..."The Fountain"...was sooooo boring and....eeeuugckkk...I can't think of the proper word...but you'll get the idea if I told you there were strangely a lot of high schoolers there, and it was definitely a movie created to watch "under the influence." What a waste! Oh well. At least we still got to go out. I started getting a sore throat, and this morning...I can't even talk! This is sooo bad!

Be thankful in all things, right? Right.

Especially thinking on this past week with all the ice and snow, and David coming home one day telling me that he had to make a "crash landing" down an icy hill (backwards) into a bunch of bushes with his water truck...when he stepped out at the top, his brakes broke free and he almost was ran over by his own truck! But was able to jump back in and slide it sideways over the ice to steer it away from going straight thru a customers house! Poor thing...he said he "lost his lunch" after it was all over. Good thing Lily and I prayed that very morning for God's angels to guard and keep Daddy today!



Well, hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

We're going to do up all the Christmas Decorations....Yea!!! Love how cozy the house feels when it's decorated....
