SIMPLE SAFARI KIT

download

It was Kat's birthday recently and I revived this Safari Kit for her as a prezzie... and seeing how she had been to the zoo recently too. Since then, I've recieved more requests for this kit so I'm including it today. If you're new to scrapbooking, you can also download it, along with instructions on how to assemble a scrapbook page using templates, at Christian Woman Online. CWO also has some other scrapbooking downloads you may want to check out too, including Darlene Schat's scrabble alpha! Just click HERE to visit - the entire CWO site is a wonderful place to be - filled with uplifting information etc... if you noticed the scripture tags and my banner on my blog, this is where I got them from! God never wanted us to blog alone (lol!) and at CWO you can check out and join in a blog ring.

You may notice I've posted two entires today... the second entry was 'loaned' to me from my friend Valerie - a sentiment about her sweet daughter Gabrielle... I hope you enjoy it, Val's writing is so good! It made me think of when I was a little girl and how my dad called me "Barbara Jean the Noise Machine"... hehe... he said I even talked in my sleep!

LAYOUT BY BLOG READER, LESLIE

Leslie put together this pretty layout, of her husband's parents on their 25th wedding anniversary - very nice, Leslie! Thanks for sharing.

Leslie used my Peach Blossom Element!

Our house feels very empty at the moment. Our daughter Dez and her boyfriend just left for Calgary where they will be working for the coming months. After having both girls home in one weekend, and now with Miles gone to work I am sort of rattling around in this place lost...

We took Dez and Adrian out to the 'new house' yesterday, for a tour. Bonnie and Roman are still working diligently to bring it up to move in point. I swear they must sleep there - there is a tremendous amount of work to do. Thanks so much you folks for this!

I AM getting very excited about it all. I pack a box here and there during my clean up times now, and we've even taken a few boxes out and stored them. I put the first linens in the closet yesterday - it was a neat feeling... like I have one foot here and one foot there!

Well, I have a few days of catching up to do around home, letters to write and a wedding invitation to finish designing, so I shall leave you for now... back tomorrow with more 'good stuff'. Have a wonderful day!

Remember Drive In's?

Yes, they still exist! My friend Sonya made a 'drive in' in her vehicle for her twin boys to watch, the other day... but this is the REAL Mc Coy!
