I think my thermometer is going to burst if it gets much hotter!! Most days, it is in the upper 90s, and some have even reached over 100 degrees.

Sorry, it’s been a while. I can’t seem to get into the habit of posting here on a regular basis. I am afraid that by the end of this year, I will be forfeiting my domain and ending this blog. But until then, there are plenty of layouts to be posted.

The month of July is my birthday month, so it couldn’t be anything but Star-Spangled! This kit is created by Dandelion Dust Designs and is available only at Pickleberry Pop.

Here are a few more lovely layouts created in July!

Wow! It is the end of April already and I haven’t even had a chance to make a post since Valentines Day! Not a lot has been happening in my neck of the woods. but we did drive to Indiana to see my granddaughter, her husband and the new baby! Ellie is 3 months old now and she is the most precious little thing. I can’t wait until I can see her again.

Easter was wonderful here at the Ware household. My whole family was here with the exception of Alana, Mark and the baby.

Both of my youngest grandchildren came on Wednesday and have been here all week. I am bushwacked and brain-dead, to say the least, but they have had a great time. Kent uncovered the pool and got it ready for swimming and even though the water was quite cold, they have both been in it every day! They will be leaving sometime tomorrow, and it will be very quiet around here.

I have managed to get some scrapbooking done, but don’t worry, I won’t post all 60 + layouts!

Well, I tried not to post all of them!!! Believe me, there are plenty more! Until next time, be safe, be happy, and praise God for every new day!

It’s the first day of February and all I can think about is that this month is for Love and Happiness. Just knowing that you are loved should make you happy, no matter who it is that loves you! You also don’t need a box of chocolates or a dozen roses! It’s all in the touch of a hand, the wink of an eye, or the special kiss that lingers.

If you need something to create a layout with or even to create a special card for someone you love, check out the three new collaborations at Gingerscraps!

Here are a few layouts that I have created so far this month

Well, I have finally returned to the blog and it has been a most exciting first month of the new year! At the end of 2024, we were awaiting the birth of our first great-granddaughter, but she did not come for another two weeks! She was born on January 12th; mother and daughter are doing great! I am not, however, allowed to post photos of her just yet. Mothers’ orders!

Just this week, we had a major weather event here in the Southern USA. We received 6 inches of snow on Tuesday, the 21st. This never happens in the South! When it does happen, we might get 1 inch of hard crunchy icy snow, but this snow was perfect. It was fluffy dry snow that you could kick with your feet and not end up with a broken toe! Today is Friday, and there are still small patches scattered about in the shady areas of the yard.

Several months ago, our oldest granddaughter and her husband told us they were pregnant! Since then, we have been waiting to find out the gender. The news finally came with a gender reveal, and I had the honor of taking all of the photos!

I am afraid I am not doing well at keeping up with posts. I always try to do better. In the meantime, here are a few layouts from the past few weeks.
