Aunty Bonnie

I made this for the funeral today .. it will stand beside her urn. Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in Heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy. ~ Author Unknown

RIP Aunty Bonnie

My aunty Bonnie passed away last night. She fought so hard for so many years. A lifetime of challenges with cerebral palsy .. breast cancer .. a brain tumor and finally terminal cancer. I'm happy she is now free of pain and of her disability. I hope she is in a better place where she is able to do all she wasn't able to do hear .. run .. walk .. to do whatever she wants to do. Through it all she was always happy and super excited to visit with everyone. Going through my pictures this morning I came across this one .. she loved music and dancing. This one was taken at my uncles wedding. She will be missed terribly. RIP - God saw you were getting tired and a recovery was just not meant to be, so God took your hand and said to you "It's time to come Home with Me"

What Ive been up to so far in September ...

So many little things to post about ... Got this chest to put all grandmas things in that I have of hers. Nice to have them finally in something and all together =) Sympathy card for a girl at work. I bought this picture to hang in the kitchen. Ive been looking for months and as soon as I saw this one I got it. I love words lately. Gonna surround myself with them. Made this diaper cake for a my brothers gf's baby shower that Im hosting at the end of the month. Turned our super cute. My boy turned 19. WOW. Time sure flies!! And here are the cards for the baby shower from me and my sister.

Last of the cat Lo's

I finally finished the album for Hal. 91 - 98 of 365

This is the poem on the last page of the album: I’m Still Here Friend, please don't mourn for me, I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day, And within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near, I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart, As long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight. I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach. ---------------------------------------- Paws April 17, 1998 ~ June 15, 2012 C. J April 25, 1998 ~ June 14, 2012

Life & LOs

Life has been a little crazy with the last 3 months with lots of ups and downs ... bad news and good news. Finally it seems things have settled down and I'm getting back to my normal routines. As you may or may not know we had to put our cats downs within a day of each other. They were both very sick. Hal asked me to do him an album of the cats so I am of course. I was going to his and my album together but I decided against it. I just want to get his done then work on mine. Here are some LOs I did today. I couldn't believe I got 4 done today .. it was very exciting :D Its been awhile since I scrapped =) 46 - 50 of 365 TFL

The mouse trap LO says MOUSE TRAP When we ended up with a mouse in house, Paws & CJ were ready to track it down. The mouse was hiding behind the dishwasher. There is a hole in the cupboard under the kitchen sink where the hose from the dishwasher connects to the water. The mouse would come in and out of that hole, surely taunting the cats. The cats would sit in the cupboard waiting for it to poke its head out. I put a blanket down to the entrance of the kitchen. I didn’t want that little mouse running all through the house. Yes, I’m well aware a blanket isn’t going to stop the mouse – lol. The cats were protecting me from the mouse and they took their place on the blanket. It was all way too cute. I don’t know what ever happened to that mouse but I knew that cats would get it if they could. Thanks boys!!!

Happy Birthday Gail

National Scrapbook Day

It was National Scrapbook Day yesterday .. I had to work. It really should be illegal to have to work on a day like that ... lol. So today I celebrate it =) Hopefully I will get lots done =) 43 of 365

Altered S

I did this altered S for a lady at work who does all our supply orders. She saw the one I did for my co-worker and wanted one too. Well .. that was about 6 mths ago and I'm just doing it now :lol: I put magnets on the back so she can put it on her overhead cabinet at work. The picture doesn't show it well but it is very sparkly IRL. TFL 42 of 365
