These are the first flowers I have made using the method shown by Laura Dennison with Following the Paper Trail. Her blog is followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com So much fun...and the metal I used I was able to use my Big Kick as well as some of my marvy punches !

This song was played at the memorial of Josh Micheal Williams. Josh was a day shy of his 29th birthday when he died unexpectedly. Josh is the brother of my future son-in-law Jonathan Patrick William who is engaged to my daughter Cassie. While I had never met him I felt that through his family and friends that I had. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. This song was played at the conclusion of the service...it is heartbreaking but perfect! Keep Me In Your Heart For Awhile Warren Zevon (Warren Zevon and Jorge Calderon) Shadows are falling and I am running out of Breath Keep me in your heart for awhile If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile When you get up in the morning and see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for awhile There's a train leaving nightly called When It's all Said and Done Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha la la la la la la li li lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha la la la la la la li li lo Keep ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS DONNA! This is a sneak peek at Donna's Christmas present...a crocheted lace baby blanket I made for her to go into the antique baby carriage her husband bought for her. Don't worry Donna...You can't see the best feature on the blanket yet! I ACTUALLY DID POST THE VIDEO ABOUT THE MINI ALBUM PAGES LIKE I TOLD YOU...TEE HEE!

I got this idea from Elsa... her blog is justafewdesigns.blogspot.com She made it look so easy I just had to try it! While following her video I made the first page and it turned out exactly as she instructed! While making the second page...i did make a mistake...but it was still usable and I learned from it!

This is my mini album I have put together for my husband and myself...this week is our 13th wedding anniversary. He is going to help me select and put in the pics. I am not sure that I like the color combination on the cover but /i love this flower. My sister Sandy made it for the October flower swap on the scrap beach. This album is alot like the mini I created for my sister back in June of this year... because we both loved the Vintage Shabby Chic album from Robyn at Injoystamping.com. BTW...I still need to add the ribbons and lace!

This is the mini I created for my husband Mikel for his Birthday...he saw a video of it on youtube by Crystal Biby, a friend of mine on the Scrap Beach! Her youtube channel is CrysTvsky, check it out! Now I know you all are probably thinking this is a weird mini for a Birthday but since he was born on October 31st...and we live on Cemetery Rd...across from a cemetary and we love Halloween, I thought this was a fitting mini for him! Happy Birthday Mikel!

This is a tag swap hosted by Hope Simpson on The Scrap Beach in honor of Breast Cancer awareness month! My sister, Sandy, is a Breast Cancer survivor with 6 years cancer Free. I urge you all to get your mammograms and do your monthly BSE!
