My new favorite quote

I found this quote and love the concept.

"If I really wanted to pray, I'd go out into a great big field, all alone, I'd look up into the sky. I'd imagine it was the dome of a great big cathedral and then I'd close my eyes and just feel a prayer."

Anne of Green Gables

Snowy Smile

I love hanging out with Joli and her family.
MB loves to hang out with me.
She thinks I'm goofy and "just like her mom."

This week, during the "ice storm of 2007" I hung out one afternoon with the fam, as they "braved" the elements without power all week.

MB "tollerated" me taking pics of her in the snow. But I had this layout in mind, and I "just HAD" to have a picture of her for it.

I love this turtle.
It just makes me laugh.

0Scraps 52 inspirations - Week Two

I'm trying to catch up these posts, so here is my layout for last week's 52 Inspirations. I love this picture of Kiki's Hand.
She found this shell while we were walking along the shore of the river which runs along War Eagle Mill in Arkansas.
I only thought the shore had rocks, but once she found the shell, I began to see lots and lots of the shells.
Sometimes you just need to hang out with a child to find things in the world.

Wonder - week 2

0Scraps 52 inspirations - Week One

I'm doing this page for two challenges; one for OScraps; to use the kit; the other; for Ali Edwards blog; where she challenged people to pick a word and use it for 2007.
I debated using Simplicity; because that seems to be a theme in my life since I got back from Brazil; but the more I searched for quotes; the more I realized my word should be Wonder.
I think I need to stop and look for the things of beauty and wonder within the world.

Here's my first week's page....

I love this picture. I took it while walking on the beach in Maceio, Brazil. I never noticed the people on the beach or the boats in the water until I worked the photo up as part of my "good" pics from the trip.

It's amazing what we overlook...sometimes we forget to see the trees for the forest.
I get so busy with my work, I forget to look for the small things.
I hope this year is different.

So So Day until...

So, I was having a so, so day, until a friend in the "business" sent me this cartoon by e-mail.
Hope it makes you laugh, it is absolutly true of my life.

Oh the weather outside is frightful x 2

Once again, yucky weather has rolled into Southwest Missouri.
And once again, it happens on a night I was planning (and already at) the Scrapbook Store.
So once again, I'm snowed, "iced" in at the scrapbook store.
So, we'll see what happens.
They say it can last for the next 3 days.

Hum.

From 1,500 plus to 895

Well, as of 11:28 p.m. (I'm at the scrapbook store), on Jan. 5, I finished working up the last Brazil pictures.
I've gone from 1,500 plus raw pictures to 895 pictures worked up....

...Now, I just need to go back through, and try to cut it in half, and then half again.

Then I'll create the scrapbook pages.

Hum.

Here's one of my favorite pics


I miss the kids in Brazil.
I think I could go back tomorrow.
Working on the photos has made me so sad.

Just another scrappy day

Ok, this is a random post, mostly to see if a new e-service is working.
If it does, then you can subscribe to this blog...ok, that's assuming I'm soooo important in your life that you need to subscribe to see if I am posting anything new.
But hey, you can see pics of my favorite guy, and from other photoshoots if you tune in, so why not?
It's just another scrappy day.

CW Pages

Adding some stuff...
Check out what I've figured out how to do!

New Year, New Year Baby

Ok, I'm going to try to blog a bit, every day, if I can this year.
At least, on the days I take a favorite pic.

Today's pictures come from the New Year's Baby at Freeman Hospital.
The wee one is 10 weeks early, but doing well. She's just going to have to stay in the NICU for a few weeks.

Anyway, I snapped this pic of dad as he was finishing up, he leaned down to whisper encouraging words into his daughter's ear...telling her that everyone was waiting to meet her, and she needed to rest and grow strong.



The next pic, is a close up of the wee one's face.




You can read more about her story at www.joplindaily.com

Anyway, have a happy New Year.
