Something to Brag About

Love Laughter and Friendship Welcome Here

Good Morning Everyone

Hope you all had a great weekend..mine was sure great, I got to see my2 youngest  grandsons Sunday.  They had been at their other parents house for the summer so they weren't home when Angie and Dave moved.  Wow was I shocked at how much they had grown since I saw them last, nearly 2 years ago..they have lost all traces of their baby faces..and Gage is soo tall, I am thinking by the time he is 10 he will be taller than me!!! I can't wait until they can come for a visit alone..then I'm going to try to get the baby and the boys over, then I will have all my grandchildren with me..and my great granddaughter...man what a photo op that will be..LOL I hope everyone is comfortable cause I have some bragging to do today!!

Now its time to do some bragging..

My CT member PKdoll was featured in the SBM Groove monthly newsletter for August,2008.  Paula makes some of the prettiest pages I've ever seen...Here's a bit about her

I am 52 years old and living with the love of my life for the past 14 years. I have 3 children and 3 stepchildren, 12 grandchildren, 1 great-grandchild and another great-grandchild on the way.  I work full time as an office manager for a chain of convenience stores.  I also manage a government subsidized housing project for the elderly and handicap/disabled.  About 1 1/2 years ago I discovered digital scrap booking and I have been doing digital layouts ever since.  I especially like to scrap the grandchildren.

Paula failed to tell you what an addict she is..hehehe. I have known her since she came to the SBM forums and she is a wonderful lady, a great friend and scrap booking buddy.  I feel very lucky she decided to join the team..and I am so proud of her ..Paula had in her head how she wanted to scrap and let me tell you she's worked very had to get there..she even took classes on Adobe Here's some new pages done by doll.

Where has the morning gone??? I have been telling myself I was going to get my blog posted earlier every day but as usual I'm late..I do have a little something for you today..several months ago I did this layout of my niece and I got so many compliments on it I thought you might like to have it so I made you a QP..I just love QP they are so  perfect when you need a layout and don't have time to make it yourself..just pop in your picture and you're all done..
