I woke up this morning sometime around 3:00.  I knew Cody would be getting up in an hour or so since he had to be at work early.  I wanted to catch some more sleep- so I got up to go to the bathroom and settled back into bed.  I guess I woke Cody up when I got up and he wrapped his arm around me. Then, it happened.  Another something I never thought I would experience in East Texas.  First, it sounded like Cody had hit hsi dresser.  But I...

You may have read this post  with my first December Daily page for 2011 and then wondered where the rest of December went.  When December was over, I was definetely wondering where the rest of December went myself.  Crazy month and I knew when I decided to do December Daily that I might have been a bit crazy myself.  And, it wound up being something I had to let go in order to try to keep some of my sanity last December. But, I still took...

Several weeks ago, I had an ill-fated meeting with a cinnamon roll recipe. It was one of those mornings where nothing went as planned. And it started with the Food Processor. I’d gotten rid of my large, huge, gigantic food processor that I’d been given whenever we moved. I knew that would only leave me with the mini. But, I knew at some point I’d be replacing the one I’d been given with a bigger one that had features I...

Happy New Year everyone!  I’ve been busy catch up on several Big Picture classes that started today (One Little Word, Move More/Eat Well, and Twelve- yikes it’s a lot for one day!)  Cody is, of course, at the deer lease- last day of deer season.  I used to say it’s the last day of hunting season- yes, I was naive.  NOW, oh no, hunting season is year round.  But it does mean it’s time to start thinking about the next...

 You may recall that I chose a word for 2011.  Home.  You might even recall that I participated in Ali’s 2011 One Little Word class.  To be honest, while I participated, I didn’t keep up with the album this year.  And, I really didn’t blog about Home as much as I wanted to.  But, the one thing that stayed constant was a focus on Home. In fact, so much of the focus was about Home- especially in the past 6 months that I...

It’s December Daily time again.  I enjoyed this project so much last year that despite life’s chaos right now, I’m going for it again.  It brought so much to the holiday season last year.  I knew I needed to keep it simple so I created a basic design to be printed at home on 4X6 photo paper.  This year is all about making these simple for me. I don’t have real internet access these days (hoping that changes next week,...

When my latest layouts arrived in the mail last week, I thought I’d share a look at my scrapbook albums. It’s always fun to see your work in print.  I look forward to getting my new layouts and stalk the post man every time I place an order.  For years, I didn’t get my layouts printed.  When I first started scrapbooking, it wasn’t as easy or as cheap to get your layouts printed- at least full size 12 by 12 or 8.5 by...
