Treasured Times Together

A special and favorite photo has finally been scrapped. This was from granddaughter Jacobah's very first visit to Colorado  in 2005 when she got to meet her great grandparents for the first time. I just love the way Danimoy Designs' kit- The Good Things-- was a perfect color compliment for precious memory.

Picture Perfect Pose

What an absolute delight and surprise. The grandgirlies were visiting and so when they went outside to play I followed with the camera. Jacobah was involved with playing with rocks. When she noticed the camera spotted on her, she stopped and posed so sweetly for the camera. A year ago she would have given me a silly face or tried to imitate a sassy fashion model look. I just love this photo and her pose. She even managed a lovely natural looking smile that didn't have too much indication of .....cheeeeese.

I used Danimoy Designs goodies for the Scrapbook Bytes September GAB event. Her kit is Pretty Little Monsters and even though I didn't use any of those adorable monsters, the kit was such a color perfect match and lovely for preserving the memory of Jacobah's picture perfect pose.

Precious and Few

A Great Gramma and her first Great Grandchild. Since the families are separated by many miles, the time they are able to spend together is so precious. I love this photo of the two of them together. Am thankful, too for the knowledge to color tweak images in my editing photo editting prgram. I was easily able to turn mom's pink jacket into a plum color that matched this new kit from Danimoy Designs.

The kit I used is Sour Grapes by Danimoy Designs. This comes as a bundle. I used one of the templates and a paint splat, too.

Danimoy Designs and A+ Designs have a new Collab

The kit was perfect for scrapping one of my photo protraits of my three precious and lovely grand-girlies.

SSD October 1 FOBTY Favorite Season

I really like both the Spring and Autumn seasons. Spring brings warmer weather. It also brings refreshing shades of green to the dull gray and brown landscape. There is the anticipation of different colors arriving as blossoms and flowers burst forth in bloom. But Spring announces the onset of a myriad of yard chores. Chores that take away time from activities that I would rather be doing…and those chores will span several months. So if I have to choose between these two wonderful seasons, I will pick Autumn as my favorite. I love watching the leaves change colors from day to day enriching the landscape with a new variety of color. Cool, crisp mornings and warm sunny afternoons---I just love that kind of weather. The arrival of Autumn means more leisure time will become available. Sure--- once the killing frost sweeps across the land there is so much yard cleanup that needs to be done. But unlike Spring when the yard chores are more numerous and spread out through the season; Autumn’s yard chores… though overwhelming at the beginning…can be attended to more easily and quickly. Have to admit, though, the empty flower beds and brown lawn sure put a damper on my spirits and then BRRRR the Winter cold that follows….can’t wait for Spring!
