Happy Veteran's Day

Everyone should thank a veteran today. I sent my own personal veteran and his wife (my SIL & daughter) a surprise this week.
Jerry got in the car at 4:30 am and drove to North Carolina (it's a 750 mile drive and he did it in 13 hours) So he could visit with the grandkids and lend a helping hand to Katie and Bernie. They've all been sick and Bernie's been training really hard and Jerry was feeling lonely, so it all works out well. Of course he polished up the TBird convertible for the drive and then drove right into a whole lotta rain! BUT he's still with the kids and I'm sure he will have a great time.

So I thought I would have a few days with not too much to do and I could get a lot of scrapping done...and wouldn't you know...my laptop crrrraaaasssshhhheeeddd.
It just flickered and then died. I saw it coming and had a lot saved on an EHD and I bought a used laptop for a back-up, but then when I tried to use the "back-up" computer, I realized I had to re-install photoshop and all my favorites and I lost all the stuff I had downloaded in the past week and some pictures and well...some stuff I can't even remember.
So now I have a list of things I should do, could do, need to do, have to do....OMG!
But I had already uploaded these three LO's to websites, so I just downloaded them back to my computer. Gotta love the internet.
This one was for a speed scrap at DSDI. I used Bubblescrap Designs Twisted Halloween. (and now I don't have that kit anymore)

And this is another LO I did for a speed scrap at DSDI and I used Bubblescrap Designs Worth the Fall (I don't have this kit anymore either)
And this one is also for a speed scrap at DSDI and I used A Blessed Life from MamaMia and RebeccaPSP (also lost in the crash)

Maybe I can get some of the kits I lost in the crash because Bubblescrap Designs is having her GRAND OPENING SALE at MLAS. Check out some great LO's in her gallery at MLAS.


And here's a freebie from the shop at My Life and Scrap. It was made with Bubblescrap Design's Worth the Fall.

AND remember to thank a veteran today!

My Little Wonderland

It's election day and we are having a city election here in Woonsocket. My youngest daughter's friend is running for school committee, so we are really excited and very proud.
So I had the day off because the schools are used for polling places and I guess it wouldn't be safe for the children to have strangers wandering in and out of the building. Well, that may be true at the elementary schools, but at the high school where I work, I think it may be the other way around. I wouldn't want some little old lady going to cast her ballot for mayor to have to walk the halls with the crazy teenagers that I deal with everyday! So we had to keep everyone safe and give me a great day off.
So I used my day off to do this LO for the lyrics challenge at MLAS using Bubblescrap Design's newest kit called My Little Wonderland. I think the kit is adorable and it is on sale for $3.00 and if you want to see more there are a few more LO's made with it in the gallery at MLAS that you should check out.
These pictures are of my friend's twins. The small pictures are from July when the weighed less than 2 pounds and the middle picture is more recent. They are both doing well and weigh around 7 pounds. Kylah and Shyrah are truly miracle babies.

And here's a preview of the kit.
Here's a LO of my grandkids that I haven't posted yet. I did it for the template challenge at DSDI in October and I used a June Mega kit from the MLAS store. You should check out the top of my blog for a chance to get this kit for free.
I love clean babies in pajamas. And these are the cutest ones I know.

And here's a freebie for you. I made this QP from a LO of my grandson Jack that I posted on October 17. You can download it here.

Well it's back to work tomorrow.
