When you follow your bliss... doors will open where you would not have thought there would be doors; and where there wouldn't be a door for anyone else.

Hello Digi


Another digital layout. I am really getting into this. This layout was totally inspired by a layout in the book "Scrapbooking Digitally". I don't remember the artist name (sorry)! But I love the design of her layout called "delightful". So I wanted to see if I could recreate it for myself. I added a few things...not much. Patterned paper is my own design and circle brush was downloaded from the internet. Love how this turned out! :)

Digital layout!


My first time attempting a digital layout! Whoo hoo! It was fun and pretty easy to do. I think I could get used to not having to clean up a big mess when I am finished scrapbooking. Used the papers that I designed (again) on this layout. I guess I will have to either create more papers or buy some digital kits so I can play some more. Photo of Meredith from this Easter. Loved her in her baby blue Easter dress! She had a blast hunting eggs at both grandparent's houses. She was an 'ol pro by the time she hunted eggs with her cousins. She found 48 eggs! Can you believe that. She was pretty excited, needless to say. And now we have more Easter candy than one household really should.

Ready to Ride

Well, trying this post again. I put it all on there yesterday and then my pics disappeared. Weird! Anywho, this is Meredith on her 4-wheeler. Her Pop had told her months ago that she could have this little 4-wheeler to ride up on the mountain. She and Mark promptly went out and bought her a helmet. That was in December. Now, finally...in March she has gotten her first taste of riding. She has been the passenger many times, but never the driver. Our nieces, Brooke and Laura have been riding for a while now. They are much more brave on theirs than Meredith. Which was totally fine with me! She had a great time, all the same.

You Shine



I scrapbooked last night, just for me. It felt good. I got out the stuff...printed the picture and just played! The photo of Meredith is from our one good snow. She had a blast sledding, making a snowman and having a snowball fight with her Dad. It was a fun day! The layout has papers on it that I designed. I had printed these out months ago and decided to finally do something with them.

Dreaming.....


of warm weather and sunshine. I think I would feel better (and maybe get over this cold that I have had for over a week) if I could just feel the warm Charleston sunshine and smell the salt air. This is a photo of our trip there, last Spring Break. Which, it was actually very cold and windy the whole time we were there. Meredith still wanted to put on her bathing suit and enjoy the sand. I am dreaming today of our next trip to Charleston. Still one of my all time favorite places to visit!!
