The kids

Timothy finally uploaded some new pictures and i thought that i would share this one ... too cute huh!

Pages 52 - 65 a bit of power scrappin tonight!!

I did some cleaning this weekend and sorting of my swaps. In doing this I sorted all the page swaps that I have participated in, now that these are sorted it was time to scrap. I dug to the back of the boxes of pictures and started scrapping so some of these pictures are extremely old! The purple pages are compliments of Elaine from Awesome they were a sketch challenge and worked perfectly for the Wilson wedding.
The next 2 pages were pictures that i had left from the paper bag album that i made for Derrick.


The maroon pages are a sketch Christmas swap on awesome. My memory isn't working to well right this minute as i am posting but these 2 pages worked great for timothy's pictures

The following 2 maroon pages are from dazzling swappers Christmas completed pages. The pictures are from 1999. It is strange to see tim in glasses, the blue chair and the old couches ... wow how times have changed!

the 2 red pages are of timothy, tim and I are still in dispute over what year to label these pictures. Maybe in April i will ask Timothy if he remembers what year he opened his Christmas presents in the back seat of the car while we were driving.

The next two pages were extremely hard to scrap and even harder to trim the pictures. These pictures we believe are from 1999 and they are of Tim's son Vicente. If you have followed my blog for any length of time you will know that Vicente died in 2007. So to see his smiling face while it made my heart soar it made my eyes tear up. Both the pages of timothy and vicente are pages that i made for completed page swaps on dazzling.

!



The final 2 pages are from a swap on awesome. I believe that these were made by jodie and they are of derrick getting his first MARINE haircut. Don't try to adjust your computer screen the pictures are horribly dark. I guess these were the days before digital HUH!!!

Pages 419 - 434 - a mixture of pages

A productive scrappin weekend. I used the Heartstrings designs Valentine kit to create 6 layouts for the love of bowling. We love to take the girls, they have such a good time. Taylor has her own bowling shoes .. do you notice the dress shoes ..lol

She had so much fun and was so certain she was a pro bowler. she wanted to carry the ball and roll it without the help of the ramp as the day went on.
The kit called to do layouts about a person you love and the fun and games layout was suppose to be all about tic tac toe hearts and word finds and lacing .... this was a big stretch for him from the original sketch.

The next 2 pages are created using a sketch and some great items in my stash. The big turkey is from trisha from our awesome swaps.

The next 2 pages are from a kit purchased through tracie from TLC. The pictures are from may of this and are of the urn that holds Vicente's remains.

These next 2 layouts are a challenge from scrap therapy.

The father page is from a page kit purchased back in the day that i scrapped in OC. Look I sewed~

Pages 409 - 418 More GRAND BABIES

Yeah 10 more pages!



These 2 SEI layouts were done when I went to CKC in Phoenix, I just added pictures this week!

PAGES 387 - 402

I got a late start on this much needed lazy Saturday. The first one in over 2 months. I sat at the desk with the idea i would complete my homework for this week and next well that didn't happen. I decided to scrap. Before i left on the honeymoon. I got a box of swaps back this was a completed page swap therefore many of the pages done today were done using those pages the remaining pages were done using the August 2008 Heartstrings House calls Kit.

These pictures were all taken in May 2008 when Tim went back to meet his grandson for the first time.
