The book I'm working on right now is....
My Life.
I know there are some of you who can relate to this....
Still have pictures in those old sticky photo albums?
Well take it from me, you really should take them out of those books
before its too late!
I had pictures that I literally had to scrap from the page.
Even if your not into scrap booking save your photos by putting them into
photo albums with pockets, you'll be glad you did! :)

After along time out I'm now back at it.... and loving it!
I've become almost addicted to it, uummm.... yup I am.
There are times when my kitchen looks more like a craft room.
This is a picture of the first grocery store in our town. I remember
going here many times with its dim lighting and warped wooden floors.
And in the winter a potbelly stove to keep the store warm.

All for Love!!
The grand essentials of happiness
are something to do,
something to love,
and something to hope for.

Christmas this year seemed to be a difficult one for a number of my friends
and their families including ours, as we all had a family member pass away.
For me it was a time of reflecting on the past and the present;
a time to enjoy and treasure family and friends.
