London

Hi everyone!  Today I want to share a few of the inside pages of my London mini album.  Love, love, love the Vintedge kit from Your Memories Here.

We didn't have the best spot for viewing the changing of the guard...and I never did get a photo with a guard in a bear hat...next time?

Loved the BeafEaters at the Tower.  So much great history and our guide was so much fun.  He had great stories and a great sense of humor.  After many years of service in the military these gentlemen get to become human tourist attractions...it really takes someone special to become a Yeoman Warder.

Outside of the tower, in front of Tower Bridge...which also has great views of the city.

Parliament from Westminster Bridge....no photos allowed inside of Westminster (heartbreaking for me) and we weren't allowed into Parliament as we are not British (again, boo hoo)

Finally, Big Ben.....colors in this photo are just too funky for words...but I am in the photo.  I guess that is what I get when I turn over the camera.  lol

There is such an incredible variety of embellishments in this kit that I couldn't help but add quite a few to each and every page.  I really need to work more on this mini...lots more photos to share.

Be sure and grab your Vintedge kit from Your Memories Here today!  At less that $20 you can't go wrong.

Hugs.

New Adventure

Hi everyone!  Today I am a bit crazy...as you may or may not know, we were actually in Europe for a couple of weeks, couple that with a master bath remodel, and starting this years school....I guess you can understand why i am a bit late today.

Phil and I at Versailles.....Gorgeous.  Did a behind the scenes, a private rooms tour.  It was fabulous.  Very informative and gave us an opportunity to skip the lines and crowds.  love

Love touring up and down rivers, you know we love to cruise.  lol  This time on the river Siene.

Westminster Bridge looking back at Parliament.  Trying to be in more photos.  

La Tour Eiffel.

Hampton Court with my man.  Sorry that he is in the shadows.  sigh Turning the camera over to others means some funky composition and lighting.  

Hanging at the Tower of London with the BeefEaters.  Such a fun day and so educational...yes, we are counting our vacation as a field trip.  lol

 

Just a few photos from our adventures!  Needless to say, we had a great, one we won't soon forget.  And one I know you will see many more photos of as I begin to create scrapbooks.

In other news, I just made a Facebook Page...so, if you like you can follow me over there.  Thinking I need to work on building my business.  https://www.facebook.com/homesclscrapper

and I'm back

Hi everyone!  Sorry I have been gone so long, but....Hawaii!!!!  Days spent playing in the ocean, hiking to waterfalls, enjoying the sand and beautiful sunsets.  So, here are a few photos of our trip that I am looking forward to scrapping.  All straight out of the camera since I have yet to find time to work on editing them.

Not much else to share today.  I am trying to get caught up on life...get school started.  Life with two teenagers is not easy right now.  sigh

Wednesday - Time for a Vacation?

Hi everyone!  Hope you are having a great day.  Things with swim are really heating up here, so I am a bit late this morning.  So many details to cover...sigh.  Soon it will all be over and life will go back to normal, but until then.....

I really am ready for a vacation, but fortunately I am lucky enough to live in a place that many people consider a vacation destination.  Sometimes I am still amazed we live in such a scenic place.

 I used some of my older Prima papers from Your Memories Here to complete this project.

 And of course I coupled the gorgeous papers with a bit of Alecon lace and beautiful Prima blooms.

I even through in a few buttons and baubles from Prima.  I love that the grab bags from Your Memories Here offer such a variety of goodies.  And right now, today only, everything at Your Memories Here is 33% off in honor of our owner, Kristina's, 33rd birthday!

So be sure and hop over there and grab some goodies.

Hugs.

I Have a Secret

I don't like to tell when I am going to be out of town.  Even though I have a house sitter...someone who lives in my house while I am gone...I don't like to tell.  So, I set up my blogs to post ahead of time, and not mention a thing on Facebook, and then I go.  This time, I was gone for almost 2 weeks!  I bet you didn't even notice.  hee hee

Where did I go?  Seattle, Vancouver, and then a week long cruise to Alaska.  

I just finished unpacking and downloading all my photos.  And of course, school had to start, so I have begun that.  No time to edit photos yet, but here are a few straight out of the camera.

Vancouver from our hotel suite

My little darlings, not so little anymore.

South Sawyer Glacier in the Tracy Arm Fjord.  We were about 700 yards from it.  Amazing!

The port of Ketchican

Sailing through the most beautiful rainbow

Well, I have almost 1000 photos to scrap so I guess I should get busy.  hee hee  Be back soon with some scrapiness, hopefully.

Hugs.

A Vacation

Lately I have become a bit paranoid, so when we decided to head out to the beach for a little r&r I didn't tell my internet friends.  Everyone always says you shouldn't announce you will be gone because you are just advertising that your house is empty.  Well, my house wasn't empty as I always have a house sitter, but I was gone.  Sorry, no bloggin'.  The cottage we rented was supposed to have internet, but it was flaky at best.  I will try to update you over the next few days with lots of goodies from my trip.  And hopefully find some time to do some scrappin to share.

Another reason why do you not tell people you are out of town?  Because when you come home, they greet you with this....

After a week of sun and sand, I guess my swim team felt the need to bring a little snow into my life.  From what I hear, somewhere in the neighborhood of 96 rolls.  Yep, it is nice to be loved.  And we were feeling the love for about 3 hours this morning as we cleaned it all up.

Hugs.
