Counting Down

Good Morning Folks..well it's only 8 more days until Christmas Day...I'm so sure all those homes with little children are so filled with excitement...that's when it really feels like Christmas to me..when Angie was little she started playing Christmas music in July and by December she could hardly contain her excitement.  I still remember how excited I would get..and what joyful wonderful  feelings I had inside. Seems like some of the Magic of the Christmas Season has left us..its gotten so commercialized.

Have several things to show you today I think You are going to enjoy.

First don't forget my new word art sets in the store and they are on sale for a few more days.

RAINY DAY MONDAY

Hello All...

well it's a cold rainy day here..gloomy outside but warm and cozy inside..so warm and cozy I slept really late LOL

Hope your weekend was a good one..my mom and I went shopping on Saturday..now I usually hate shopping but we had a good time..I had to help her pick out gifts for the kids and we enjoyed looking at all the little girls clothes..its been 14 years since we got to do that!! Martins had a great sale and we got some really really good bargins. That was fun for her LOL..

I'm trying to get some Christmas spirit..how do you like the Christmas music..did that on a whim the other night..I have been opening the blog and listening to it while I'm on the computer...Mother fixed supper for us last night and we brought a tree that she had in the attic and some decorations home.  I think we are going to put it up tonight.

Kaylen got to stay until Sunday night and I wanted her to be here when we put up the tree..she loves the lights..she just stares at them and laughs. I may see if we can get her for awhile while we do the tree.

I have lots to tell you today...

My good friend Crops2dawn gave me an award

This is a wonderful award to be given because she is my treasured friend.  There is no limit or stipulation with this award..I have so many treasured friends I would like to  give it to that I wouldn't have room to list them all. So I'm going to give it to my wonderful CT..

Carol, Paula, Sue, Marion, Julie, and Melanie I love you all and treasure you friendship and I appreciate all the wonderful pages you make for me.

I have 2 new kits in my store today..made in the new style..grungy looking and just words..I really like it and think it gives your layouts a great look..

Here's a layout I made using Kimb's Stone Castle kit and word art from Follow the Lines Grunge Grandpa you can find this one here

This is me and my Grandmother...she loved to fish better than to eat..here we are on the pier when I was about 4.

Thanks everyone for all the birthday wishes.  I had a good birthday..I'm just so thankful to have had another one..61 and counting LOL..Kaylen got to come over Wednesday night and that was the best present of all. She and I just spent my birthday laying around playing and watching TV. My mom cooked me a birthday supper last night of some of my favorites..roast beef, creamed corn, green beans, cornbread and ice tea..it was soooo good..I made a pig out of myself.  I had hoped for one of her lemon pies but she said I didn't need it and she didn't know to make a diabetic one..!

Hello Everyone..hope you are having a good week so far..Sorry I didn't make it here yesterday..I wasn't feeling good so I was lazy all day and did NOTHING..LOL Angie and the boys didn't get to come down Sunday and I didn't get my tree put up.  Josh, Kendra and I are going to put it up somethime this week.

I had a dull and boring weekend..I don't think I got out of the house.  The baby didn't get to come for the weekend as her other Grandmother was visiting and she had to stay home with her..that's only fair but I sure did miss the little stink. Angie send me the pictures we made Thanksgiving and some of them are so cute.  I thought I would share a few with you.  Better get comfy I have lots to show you today.

 

My babies..all of us in our Auburn clothes..too bad they didn't help us win the game!!

The game got so boring Kaylen and I took a nap and Angie just had to make a picture LOL..This is definitely not one of my better days!!

IT'S FRIDAY ALREADY AND A SPECIAL GOODBYE

Good Friday morning everyone..I imagine a lot of you have busy weekends planned, shopping and decorating...its that time of the year again.  I think Angie and the boys are coming down Sunday to put up my tree..I think I'm going to get a live one this year..a SMALL one..there are no carpets in this apartment so not a big mess to clean up needles and they make your house smell so yummy..the smell makes me feel good..

I had a brainstorm a while ago...why don't you make pictures of your trees and decorations and email them to me and I will post so we can all see them...it will be fun to share them..you can send to wordstodelite@gmail.com

Don't forget that today is the last day you can get KimB's grab bag on sale..On Saturday it goes to regular price  Just take a look at all the great goodies it has.

The overlays are just beautiful and worth the $8 not to mention all these other goodies you get..you can find it in Kims store at DSO..don't let this one get by you!

I know you are all familiar with Jenni at Chaos Lounge..she makes such beautiful kits..the store she sells in Digital Candy, is going out of business at the end of December.Jen has decided to take a break from designing for awhile. She will be doing her blog and continue on her CT's so we won't loose touch with her..but I know we will all miss those beautiful unique kits of hers. She is having a BIG CLOSING DOWN SALE

Now that is a sale you don't want to miss and your time is running out..the 12th will be here before you know it..

Speaking of Jeni's kits..I used the vines from different ones to make this layout. The paper is from Basic Grey.

Another of Kendras graduation pictures...I am going to make her a small scrapbook of them all for a graduation present. I will show them to you as I get them done. This is a partial scrap lift but I'm sorry I don't remember from who..but theirs was beautiful.

Today I have several layouts sent to me by one of my ct members Maggie Mae.

This is her beautiful furbaby...she used word art from All About Kids.

This is another from Maggie Mae..her grandson..this little guy always puts a smile on my face..he is so adorable and has that big smile..word art is from All About Kids.

There's that wonderful smile again..doesn't it bring one to your face..she used word art from Its Christmas Time

Christina another of MM's grandchildren..she's a little doll and looks so sweet and innocent this word art is also from Its Christmas Time.

You can find all of your Christmas word art at my store

One more reminder before I say goodbye...The challenges at DSO are going full blast..please stop by and complete them..you will have fun designing, we will have fun looking and you can get a beautiful posting gift for participating. I host the Photo Op Challenge and would love to see what you can come up with.

I was thinking last night about what to give you for your freebie today and saw some comments which made me smile..so I thought I would pass them along to you..they may be phrases that you will never find a use for but I KNOW they will bring a smile to your face!!!!
