Needed Escape

This past Saturday I got a much needed escape. 

I was asked recently by a friend if I still scrapbook? I do still scrapbook but, 

I just haven't really wanted to scrapbook alone. 

After working at the scrapbook store I got used to scrapbooking with others,

 it is a lot more fun that way. 

Anyway, this past Saturday I joined 7 or 8 other ladies

 at a local church and had a real good and productive day. 

I have missed just getting together with a group of ladies. 

I am joining them again this Saturday for the local shop hop. 

I have never shopped the shop hop before 

so I am looking forward to seeing what is new in the world of scrapbooking!

Here are the pages and project that I did. Enjoy!!

This is a little flip book I did on a 12X12 page layout of my hubby and I on our 20th wedding anniversary trip. The last picture is not very good but, I was trying to give you a better view of the flip effect. I got the idea from Heidi Swapp's blog.

Happy Valentines Day!!

Hope your day is filled with love and happiness!! This is what I made for our kids for breakfast this morning, heart shaped bacon and cinnamon rolls, they loved them.

Have  a Blessed Easter!! 

Happy 17th Birthday My Sweet Girl!

Boy ole Boy do they grow way too fast!! 

 I can't believe you are 17 already,

 seems like yesterday

 we were bringing you home from the hospital,

  now look at you all grown up and a Junior in High School.

Pallet Fun!!

Sorry it has been so long since I teased you all with this project, it is complete and ready for its debut. Here is what she started out to be:

and here is what she is today:

I just love the way this clock turned out.

 I started by taking apart a pallet, then I lay ed  all the boards together and nailed them. I then used a big circular saw blade that my husband had as my pattern for the circle I traced it on an filled it in with some cream paint. I then used a little stain over the cream to give it a vintage look. I printed out roman numerals from the computer using word, cut them out and traced them on to the clock face and painted them in with a brown paint. I bought the clock hands at Hobby Lobby and my darling husband drilled out a hole and installed the hands for me.

 I have it in the spare bedroom and I think it looks great!

 I hope you think it was worth waiting on.
