I love to scrap, then frame the page. It freezes that particular special moment in time.

There are so many snapshots in our lifetime. Sometimes when we are out as a family, and I do not have my camera, I close my eyes and take a snapshot with my mind. I call upon these "special snapshots" when I miss that particular time in my life. On those lucky days, when I have had my camera, I love to scrap that day, frame it and hang it up on the wall. Every so often, I take it down and replace it with another memory or a new adventure. I find such happiness and peace in placing my memories on paper...

Make that choice for happiness...

Today I am thinking about how happiness and optimism is a chosen lifestyle for me....and however or wherever I learned that way of living...I am thankful to my teachers.

Hard to believe it is April...

The last few days the weather has been VERY hot! On Wednesday it hit 89 degrees! Hubby and I have been doing a lot outdoors getting ready for Spring/Summer. We spent part of our day, on Easter, at the beach. It was gorgeous. Sunny, 78, the sand was hot and the water was calm and blue! I got some great pictures of Mary Margaret and the beautiful sunset at my brother and his wife's house on the water. It was a perfect Easter. Now, all I need to do is put it on paper! I have a very dear friend, Susan, coming over tonight to scrapbook with me. Maybe I will make an Easter mini album?? Hopefully!
Spring vacation is almost over. Mary Margaret has been off from school for two weeks. I will be sad to see her go back to school. I love having her home. That child has got my spirit!! God help us all... LOL

Spring...

Spring is in the air today. This is when my pages change from muted earthtones to brighter earthtones! LOL! I find it so hard to create something that is not an earthtone. It will take me days to finish because I just don't feel creative when I am working with other colors. So, maybe tonight, I will use...YELLOW! We shall see...
