Prime Life August pages

.......much more personal in theme.......these pages allow you to write your innermost thoughts, and also to write a special letter to your family, tucked into a pretty envelope....for their eyes only to see ! My Prime Life ladies will work on these pages on Friday. I'll post mine again when I've completed the journaling. I'll also put a small family photo into the little frame on the 1st page.

Prime Life July pages

Just a fun way to document summer fun activities.....tags for photos or journaling a variety of events... and a little mini-book shaped like a flower to tuck additional photos into. ........a whole summer-ful of activities in one double page layout !

I'm Back !!!

It has been FOREVER since I've posted on this...my creative blog !!! I guess that means I haven't been too creative ! Summer has been crazy.... both good crazy and not so good crazy. Nana is back in the hospital rehab due to another fall. My Boots Beagle had to be put to sleep last week. He was 16.5, bless his heart, but that didn't make it any easier. The kids are back to school, and Grandma has daytime free now. It was a fun summer, with Dylan here everyday and both boys sleeping overnight a few days a week. I miss them already. Aidan stayed in pre-school for the summer.....he's the kind of little guy that needs to run and play constantly! Since I'm not an outdoor Grandma, school was much more fun for him !!! Dylan and I just kind of hung out, played on the computer, went out for lunch....fun stuff for two such lazy bones !!! I took a very fun class with Debbie D. last week, and I think that just might have sparked my creativity again (...impending divorce just knocks all the fun out of you !!!). I'll be back in a bit to post photos of Debbie's projects and to show you my recent Prime Life "My Life" class projects. Kelly and the boys and I also went to Lake Freeman and Indiana Beach last weekend......more fun photos to show you. Be back later when I have photos ready to post and share !!!

Making Kristy's Mini Book at Prime Life

Today my Prime Life Scrapbooking class ladies got a REAL treat! We usually do a page related to themselves in a class that I teach, entitled "My Life". At last week's Crop that she hosted, Kristy donated lots of mini books for me to use for my ladies...how kind and wonderful! Today there were only 4 ladies, so each lady got enough mini books to complete for each of her children! What a great Mothers' Day treat! Thanks to Kristy for her generosity!!! My ladies took home wonderful family gifts, thanks to you !!!

May Day Historical Society favors.......here they are at the Tea! So sweet, stuffed with little pastel flower-shaped sugar cubes...

A Very Special Crop !

Last Saturday, I attended Kristy's regular monthly Crop at the Jameson Hotel in Carmel. After many months and many crops, Baby Dane Finley Taylor was finally born 6 weeks ago. For those of you who haven't seen him yet, here he is at the Crop with Kristy. He was so good, and we all got to hold him!!! Daddy picked him up later in the day so that Mama Kristy could get some Mommy cropping time in. For those of us who attend Kristy's Crops, it will be fun to watch him grow!!! Congratulations to Mom and Dad and Big Brother, Myles and Big Sister, Elliot.
