2008---Almost Gone

Hello Everyone..

Well Christmas is over and gone for another year and 2008 is now almost over..

We had a good Christmas..I know you all were praying for us because we made it thru the festivities without too much sadness.  We had Kaylen with us and that helped a lot but my sister and her family weren't here this year and it didn't feel completely like Christmas.  I LOVE the Christmas season but I for one, am glad its over for 2008.

Angie and Dave made all the Christmas pictures and so far she has not sent them to me..when I get them I will share..it was fun having 2 little guys around who still believe...their excitement was contagious.  I'm sure they asked not less than 50 times each, when can we open presents??? LOL

Reflecting back on 2008 it was not a good year for my family..losing a daughter and a grandson in one year, my health was not good..too many trips to the hospital and rehab...personal problems in family members lives.but also some bright things for the year Angie and her family moved home, our beautiful Kaylen was born and has been such a joy..my mother turned 83 in 2008 and is still driving and living and living alone..there are good things too.

I just haven't been on line much since the holidays...we have Kaylen indefinitely now so I have been taking care of her a lot and just enjoying being with her...she changes so much everyday..is learning to roll over, and trying to crawl..learning to find her feet..and I haven't felt very good for the past few days..old age and Bertie and Arthur came back tor a Christmas visit..I've been trying to throw them out but their aren't cooperating. LOL

I have some new word art in the store today..its called Celebrate 2009...and I think it works very well with KimB's new kit Time Anew.

More of the new grungy look in a stacked word set...16 different words all pertaining to New Years Eve with Happy New Year being the Focus word in each stack. The are all on individual png files making them easy to resize and recolor. These are also done in a resolution of 300 dpi for clear and clean printing. Just what your New Years Eve pages need for that extra pop. You can find it here

Here's a layout I made using Time Anew by KimB

I also used word art from my new Celebrate 2009 set

Here is some eye candy I got from Sue

This is Sue and her husband Ron..don't they make a handsome couple..I'm not sure what technique she used to alter the photo but I think it looks great..she used word art from one of my older sets..Love Word Art Bundle 

I made you a little freebie today

A quick page of my Josh and Kendra layout..made with Kims Time Anew Kit..

You can find it here http://www.4shared.com/file/78024590/4a7b789e/Happy_New_Year_QP.html

I also had a special request for some word art

Hope this is what you wanted..you can get it here

My gmail account is messed up for some reason..can't get to my inbox or any of my previous messages..if you sent me an email that I haven't responded to please resend it..thanks.

Hope you all have a wonderful day and the happiest of Happy New Years..in case I don't get back before then..have a great New Years Eve and please keep it safe and Happy..

Wear that smile on your face..keep looking up and big much love Jazzy

Trees Up!!!!!

Good Morning Everyone..hope you weekend is off to a good start.  Its raining here AGAIN today..its rained almost everyday this week and the temperatures have been mild not December weather at all.  I am going with mother today to finish her shopping..I thought she was through but she has found a few more gifts she needs to get..my mother won't spend one penny more on one than she does on the others..when my kids were little they counted the presents.. heck they didn't care what they cost they thought if one of the other kids had more gifts in their pile they got left out on something...LOL

This will be the first Christmas that Angie has been home since 1999..and the very 1st Gage, Zane and Dave have been here.  I am so thankful Angie is here.. our 1st without Lori and Andrew so please say a prayer for us thru the Holidays and for all the others who have loved ones missing this Christmas.

Josh put the tree up yesterday..I told you we borrowed a tree from mother, a 6ft fiber optic tree..skinny and not too pretty but its got some lights to it LOL...Josh called me and had me come in the LR and he had it put together..I made him put on some Christmas music and we put the ornaments on it..he made some pictures of the poor little thing..I'm almost embarrassed to show them after all the beautiful ones I have seen from you...but here goes

They are not good pictures at all..don't know what was wrong  but there it is..our little tree! Kaylen will be here this weekend and I know she will love watching the colors change.  Can't wait to see the little stinker...I miss her more every time  she leaves oh and on the camera I found some pictures I forgot we had made of her...I have to share a few of them..

Talkin to her Nana!

Carma, our pit bull is guarding her but she got cut out of the picture..

I was on the couch and she was talking to me again...ohh I just wanna squeeze her she's so precious LOL

 

I have a bunch more on here and all of her expressions are different..think I'm going to do a brag book of all of them..they make me wonder just what the heck she is thinking LOL

I have some pretty eye candy to show you today...

Marion sent me this one..love every thing about it..she used my new word art Follow the Lines-Grandpa I really like the look of this new style..you can make it tiny or you can enlarge it..recolor it..and it looks great the way Marion has used it..Had to toot my horn a little I guess..LOL

Look at this Christmas Beauty and I am thinking that is Marion and Baby James, their miracle baby..she used Follow the Lines-Grandma

and here's one I made using KimBs Time Anew Kit

Another of Kendras graduation pictures..I used a Bleach filter on it and word art from Celebrate 2009 that will be in my store soon..

After comments I got on Wednesdays freebie and more endearments for Grandmother..I made some more..just like the others just using Granny, MaMaw, Meme, and Mema

 http://www.4shared.com/file/76666558/31fa49ab/A_Grandmothers_Heart_II.html Hope you like!

Well everyone..I guess you are tired by now and I've got to get on with things so I can go with my mom this morning.

Hope you all have great weekends..this is the last one before Christmas..man what a mess the stores are going to be..YUCK!

Wear that big smile today and keep looking up..big much love Jazzy

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..

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..!
