Finally!.....

I'm pretty sure I have finally gotten my title page done for Project Life!

I know, I should be on week 15 or somewhere around there. I... Well, .....I'm kind of slow. Ok. I'm really, really slow and maybe a bit distracted? Just a little by someone who stole my heart.....

This tiny oh so absolutely adorable person my son helped to create. I can't stop watching her. I love all her expressions and I just want to smooch those cheeks!

So I've been kind of distracted lately.

BUT (and remember, it's the little things) I'm sooo happy I finished this cover page! And I also got my plastics under control. Those slippery little suckers were trying to take over my desk.

Ok. Here it is.

These are some of my very favorite pictures taken ever. We make most of our living off of hay. A lot of my pictures are of our children working with us to get everything done for the day. The picture of my son on the tractor tire captures him and his sister waiting for one of their brothers to bring the next wagon load of hay to be unloaded. We're usually hot and sweaty and tired but somehow through it all we maintain a pretty good sense of humor. Yes, I'm pretty slow at unloading hay too, but you should see me unload straw, no one can touch me in fact, they can't even keep up with me ;) maybe.
Farming and working together is a huge part of our lives and that's what I was hoping to capture with my cover page.

I also made a card which I haven't done for a looooonnngggg time :)

I was having fun messing around with a little bit of scraps of everything laying on my desk.

I hope you're having a great day!!

Love, 

Me

My Future Daughter in Law...

This is why I love her.....

We had everyone over for Sunday dinner, and as I'm trying to get a picture without anyone noticing, SHE notices and this is what she does! I can't wait until their wedding pictures!!

Love, Me

Project Life and Real Life

Project Life and Real life

I can't believe its already February heading into March already!!

I got lost for awhile. It happens sometimes. Sorry. We did have our first grand baby born on January 20th. She's just beautiful and I can't wait to teach her how to get into everything and buy her all kinds of noisy toys to drive her parents crazy. That's what Mommom's are for, right?

An that's what I am, a Mommom. Weird.


A long time back I said I would keep you updated in how my project life was going.

Wellllllll, real life kicked in and there were so many ups and downs for a little bit that I forgot about it.

I just did my very first week of project life in the beginning of this week. I started with the week of Christmas.

I have to admit, I haven't scrapbooked since before our daughter died almost 8 years ago so go easy on me?

Here's my cover that I'm still working on...

I have some tweaking and stamping to do, but it's a work in progress.

Left side of my 1st week...





Yes, there's an 18th birthday, Christmas, and a marriage proposal in this week!!

I used design H for some extra photos. ...










And here's the right side ....





I still have some more stamping and shuffling around to do, but I actually did it and it feels so good to be doing this again!

I'm using the cherry edition this year, but I did also buy the amber and olive editions so maybe I'll change it up, or maybe I'll just use those for other books. Not sure yet.

Oh, by the way- she said yes!

Love, me


Sorry I realize this is already March 4th. I've been trying to post this for a couple days. Life in the country has it's drawbacks when it comes to internet connection!
Also, I'll work on those horrible blurry pictures!
I used Unity and Close to my Heart stamps on my cards :)

This A.M......

This morning I found out I shouldn't make oatmeal and put supper in the crockpot and talk to Wade at the same time. It's all his fault, I ended up dumping freshly grated pepper into my oatmeal!! Don't 17 yr. old's know better?? Do not ask me to go to the AT&T store when I'm busy cooking! You know your father needs to be there with you in order for you to buy anything or make any changes. What's your father doing????

Yes, that's right, for the love, he's combining!! And he's NOT stopping either. Not for you or me, or AT&T.

Ever since that stupid hurricane, we've only seen the sun one day. I'm not exaggerating either. This is not good. We have soybeans to dry, and wheat to plant in those fields once their combined. Not only ours, but the people we combine for are yelling too.  Today, the sun is at half mast. I'm not kidding it's there, but not there.  Weird.

Speaking of weird........

Earl and Cole are always sleeping these days. I guess we're too loud for them.

I'm going to try and get my kitchen cleaned up and  get some laundry done today since it's so dreary. Maybe I'll find some sunshine in my kitchen??

Wait, I just remembered I forgot to do my hair. I only took a shower 5.89 hours ago.

Here's to airheads everywhere!

Love, me

Back in the saddle.. Umm tractor seat.

Baler twine tutorial....

You need: one of each of these:



Make sure your equipment is red. The green stuff breaks. Trust me on this.
And also this:




Son number three also happens to be the:




He was just sucking his thumb yesterday holding his blankie. What happened?

I switched another load of laundry and BLAM! He's 22 years old. I knew laundry was bad for you.

So this son opens up the twine holder in the baler. And throws out this:



Then he needs help:





Time for new twine:



Next you:




Maybe say a prayer or two that you've gotten it right.




You grab your:



Then you get your little brother to follow you up the tractor path with a:




So you don't have to walk back down the hill!
Next you send your boys out to bale hay, then you can go in your craft room and make cards and scrapbook!!




Only problem with that is my son came back in and said the hay is too tough to bale.

This results in more hungry boys following him in. I suppose I better go make some food!!

Have a great day!
