Creations from Sassacraft contest in Jan

Here are the things I made during the contest at Sassacraft.
I couldn't share until the contest was over. It's over and I didn't win.
Oh well... I think I'll just go out and buy myself a prize. LOL!

New photos of our HOME!

This weekend we drove up to look at our home. We were surprised to find lots finished. The tile has been laid and cabinets installed. We were told the counter tops will be put in this week. YIPEE! Shouldn't be too much longer now!

Some new Stuff I worked on this week

Here's a layout I did this week for the Timeless Inspiration race... I did the conest last year and had a blast.We had to either Press it -- using an iron or Dress it -- using material from old clothing. I Dressed it -- using some old PJ pants.

This is a card -- had to use the colors Pink, Black and white, paint, staples, 3 different ribbons and...
a sticker.

New LO -- guess who?

Hi This is a new layout I worked on this AM. I made this for the Survivor contest
I'm in on Scrappin_Fun and for the Early Bird challenge on Scrapyard Online.

December -- Phase 3

Jacob is the handsome one in the back with the little red tie on. SO stinkin' cute.
His school had a little Christmas program and it was just adorable. Then we all went back to his class room and had cookies and juice. IT was a wonderful night!





Since we knew we would not be home for Christmas we called Santa and asked him
to come by a week earlier. He didn't mind one bit. Both boys got lots of nice gifts from Santa.
Here's a photo of Lukas opening one of his. (he was a little clueless, but ending up catching on)

December - phase 2

MY boys in front of the Christmas tree










Jacob and Lukas looking at the ornaments on the tree.
(Me in the background.. "no, don't break that one!)

December -- phase 1

Here's my little Christmas Tree light helper.
Steve took Jacob camping the first week of December, so Lukas and I decorated the house. He had a blast helping me with the tree. (and he was such a good little boy!)























This is a layout I did for a challenge for the Scrappin_Fun Elsie Challenges. Yes, they are washing Steve's truck in December -- with NO SHOES on! Heck, it's amost 80 degrees out there!
















Here's one of Steve taking Lukas for a scooter ride while Jacob rides his bike ("In the road")
This is a big deal, because Jacob is only allowed in the front yard if we are with him.












Here's another Layout for the challenges on Scrappin_Fun.
Jacob was acting silly and I caught a few good shots.

AS CUTE AS IT GETS!

quick photo of Lukas on Thanksgiving Day!

I'm am thankful for this little guy!

Our NEW house is ON THE WAY!

Today was the first day I've been up to see our land, which really isn't just land anymore! Our builder has started our house and just LOOK AT IT! I'm so excited.

This is the front view.
It's 3 stories.. Bottom level is all garage and storage.
Second level is the living area, office, laundry, eat in kitchen and extra "game-room"
The third level has 3 bedrooms. The master suite plus 2 bedrooms for the boys.




This photo was taken while I'm standing in the "game-room" looking out the back. There will be french doors and a screened in porch.














This photo was taken while standing on the porch. We met one of our neighboors and he said this is high-tide. So it should be as far as the water will come up. He let us go check out his back yard and he had a cool deck and "boardwalk" out to the water. We couldn't put in a big boat, but we could put in canoes or a kayak. (the larger body of water is to the right of this photo... through a little inlet).





Another photo of the front of the house.

New LO -- Introducing Christopher! - (guess who game)

This photo was taken last weekend at Lowery Park Zoo. This is my nephew Christopher E. This little guy is a total HOOT! Smart, Smart Smart! He is amazing.

Journaling:
This is my nephew Christopher. He truly is the smartest kid I know (or have ever known). On this day, he informed me that he wasn't 7 or even 8 years old, but that he was 7.97 years old. Smart & Funny -- gotta love him. Oct 15, 2006

(BTW, his birthday is Oct 18)

Layout for 8.5x11 Kraft swap

This photo was taken yesterday at the Clearview United Methodist Church Pumpkin patch. We go there every year and pick out a few pumpkins. This was the only photo I could get with both boys --kinda facing the same direction.
Title is Fabulous Fall, but the funny thing is... Jacob is wearing flip-flops! LOL!

This is a layout I put together for an Elsie challenge on the "just a little Scrappin' Fun" blog.

Actually, I doubled up and used the sketch on the Got Challenges blog too.

These photos were taken on Jacob's first trip to Disney World. He thinks Buzz is the coolest!

I handmade the stars and arrow using a tranparency sheet and a silver paint pen. I also used the paint pen on the little stickers and around the border. Fun!

Beach LO

This photo was taken on Oct 7, 2006 at Fort DeSoto Beach.
The boys had a blast playing in the sand and water. It's great living in Florida!

THIS is a funky layout I did for an Elsie Challenge. Fill your background. I obviously used lots of old tags to fill the background.

Easy!

LO for Wonderful White Swap 12x12

(BIL and SIL) Chris took this photo of us.... Not

Journaling reads: When I count my blessings, I count
you twice.
