It was a wonderful trip, and I learned much about collegiate track. The competition was incredible! I witnessed the University of Alabama have two indoor All-Americans, Krystle Schade on the high jump and Fred Samoei in the 800m. <br /><br />After I returned home, I settled into my "staycation" for Spring Break. Yep, an entire week without a thing to do. No plans, no trips, nothing. Just spring cleaning and doing some digiscrapping, which has been delightful! Not to mention it's the start of March Madness to keep me occupied. And my precious lovies, Puddles, Grover and Wilbur. I don't know who has enjoyed each other more so far!<br /><br />I scrapped two pages today - here they are! The first one is of my nephew Josh:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Wtyqw2WtPkKNX6VKuz_WlZsCCMlErg-HMvSWWvgx3B_YVNJDC5_aURlUCXNpqR_d0J0-n83kI507TRNS-2iCBh2Myb5ae60Uqch5Gy5WAXRdqikD3oVwc8CDqWaP6GK44gQWH8EuqKU/s1600/Josh1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7Wtyqw2WtPkKNX6VKuz_WlZsCCMlErg-HMvSWWvgx3B_YVNJDC5_aURlUCXNpqR_d0J0-n83kI507TRNS-2iCBh2Myb5ae60Uqch5Gy5WAXRdqikD3oVwc8CDqWaP6GK44gQWH8EuqKU/s320/Josh1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584877200178522962" /></a><br /><br />and the second is of Angel, my neice:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigPAx1Q43NfEGrJsXhVsOeJ1LTKI6RlktdUmjmqNwGCU3AUpRUzLpzMxcuJMtxZfqNiNUbuYbNysHJheloXixRFXdwfFON_kLrrg7VNBPDi5MrJx5IRGG2tCQ_OTJoksw50aMOB2VxE8U/s1600/Angel3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigPAx1Q43NfEGrJsXhVsOeJ1LTKI6RlktdUmjmqNwGCU3AUpRUzLpzMxcuJMtxZfqNiNUbuYbNysHJheloXixRFXdwfFON_kLrrg7VNBPDi5MrJx5IRGG2tCQ_OTJoksw50aMOB2VxE8U/s320/Angel3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584877876755426306" /></a><br />I used templates for both of these, one from Paislee Press and one from Fizzy Pop Designs (It's the one on top).<br /><br />Hope you enjoy.

For the past two days I've woken up at noon. Yes, noon. Oh, and I did go to Dollar General yesterday in the rain and picked up some double-stuffed oreos. It was a small package, but I ate half of them yesterday. It's because they were sitting on the damn counter, and every time I passed that counter I had to have an oreo.<br /><br />I have done a couple of scrap pages this weekend, one of Payton reading a Dr. Seuss story and one of Angel my neice. I'm starting to use templates and I really love them. It will be obvious on the pics which one was the template, because I could never create such perfectly divided squares otherwise, even with a grid.<br /><br />I'm home this week through Wednesday, then Thursday I'm off to Texas with Men's Track and Field for the NCAA Indoor Championships. I'm really excited because it will be my first national track meet in six years to attend! Then, it's home for an entire week off for Spring Break! Yep, one of the perks of the job is the University Holidays - a week for Christmas and a week for Spring Break. After Spring Break it's Alabama Relays week and I'll work the track meet for 4 days. Whew! I might have to give myself a little break and go to the casino during my break...........although I'm severely trying to talk myself out of it. I need some fun and some penny slots are calling my name (Jackpot Party baby!) I'll probably end up going, and hope I win enough to at least break even (that's what my goal is every time).<br /><br />Here are my latest scrap pages:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga7YbRkdV9HmP2XJq_kMsToPs4JO563en5RlO-k9rWTapONX85_1nFTaeusBmrva1qYso4awJ1xj5uzYQJnsP4BY63BPwtkC9KL1JaLdipVF6qLBCPs79HL-r391vudOf6CtLTwjoBpeg/s1600/Angel13.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga7YbRkdV9HmP2XJq_kMsToPs4JO563en5RlO-k9rWTapONX85_1nFTaeusBmrva1qYso4awJ1xj5uzYQJnsP4BY63BPwtkC9KL1JaLdipVF6qLBCPs79HL-r391vudOf6CtLTwjoBpeg/s320/Angel13.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581163948236775266" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7RQ0FZV1679BKgiPbacPzsWYfTTg_QT7erQIST-rLpFV4UuptizqRK7bfrQkJrAMLS_zLgYkOzfl9jPizuc8bWtQYjD3XzaX2BM-4QyUtioqDkCjJYIRvPvjribS5eDCsWkmHrtUx74/s1600/Payton+8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7RQ0FZV1679BKgiPbacPzsWYfTTg_QT7erQIST-rLpFV4UuptizqRK7bfrQkJrAMLS_zLgYkOzfl9jPizuc8bWtQYjD3XzaX2BM-4QyUtioqDkCjJYIRvPvjribS5eDCsWkmHrtUx74/s320/Payton+8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581165245522289202" /></a><br />Love one another.<br /><br />Till Tomorrow,<br /><br />OzziepuddlesKim Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00046291488258787773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890540825626970707.post-2436551687278303562011-03-01T17:05:00.000-08:002011-03-01T17:29:29.988-08:00On The Road Again............One of the perks of my job includes the ability to travel with my teams once per year. So, for the past four days I have been on the road with UA Women's Track and Field at the SEC Indoor Track Championships in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I thought I would have lots and lots of time to scrap............wrong! I ended up being the unofficial photographer, which was fine, and all of my nights were spent having a date with Lightroom3. In 2 weeks I'll travel with men's track to the NCAA Indoor track and field championships in College Station, TX. I wanted to make that trip because Coach Harvey Glance, the men's head coach, will be retiring after this season, and I've never been to a national track meet before. I want to experience that with him.<br /><br />Harvey is very special to me. He is a mentor, friend, and boss. He cares for his athletes deeply and has taught many of them life lessons they will carry with them forever. He is also a "real" person, and although he has won an olympic gold medal, been an olympic track coach and Junior World Championship Head coach (just to name a few), he is one of the most humble people I have ever met. Harvey listens. And that is important to someone like me who is very low on the department totem pole. His men's team finished fourth this year at the indoor SEC's, something I know he must be very, very proud of - the best finish since 2002. I will miss my "Harvalina" so much. He is the only coach who has ever taken me to lunch on a regular basis, just to visit with me. Wow. A celebrity who is my boss who is super cool...........who could ask for more?<br /><br />So, no digi scrapping but lots and lots of pictures. And I also saw one of our Alabama men's track members break a world record in the 400 meter race. His name is Kirani James, and his home country is Greneda. He entered college last year when he was only 17, and is not only an exceptional athlete but also an exceptional young man. He is selfless. He doesn't run for the accolades - he runs for his team mates, his school, his coach and his country. He is a very quiet boy who is most polite and considerate. I'll never forget last year when I traveled with men's track he opened doors for me and carried my luggage. These days you don't find many kids without egos or alternate motives. We are so lucky to have him at the University of Alabama. <br /><br />I say all of this because the two men above have both influenced my life just because I know them. I can't say that about many people. They are diamonds amongst the rocks of life.<br /><br />Here's a pic of Harvey:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYuWwkXtO8K8Vht0ZVpSUbAyQts4NDx1rSS38X2JS37UKHI4Rzz7BM477SQqwADB8V-XKP6WfnyJB3oiSNSUlMvGygxPIG9JE04iwDZ54jm9L2T3tTa-MTXNq3Uyh0dibyAUib2t2MvNI/s1600/IMG_8709.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 276px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYuWwkXtO8K8Vht0ZVpSUbAyQts4NDx1rSS38X2JS37UKHI4Rzz7BM477SQqwADB8V-XKP6WfnyJB3oiSNSUlMvGygxPIG9JE04iwDZ54jm9L2T3tTa-MTXNq3Uyh0dibyAUib2t2MvNI/s320/IMG_8709.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579287173470322882" /></a><br />And a couple of pics of Kirani, the first one just minutes before he broke the world record:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXJSayb7VApoIe_BYA1pYZmcz6DclZd54e8nCY_fqGsOxlIqVP8GfGFdW0VlEvBgD1okFIy4JzzEksmsivd5TPBqvtRj-NlW_4S04mS2htkrKwMQMZyaTiJTjdOKE5e22oyO2I83OBVA/s1600/IMG_9353-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJXJSayb7VApoIe_BYA1pYZmcz6DclZd54e8nCY_fqGsOxlIqVP8GfGFdW0VlEvBgD1okFIy4JzzEksmsivd5TPBqvtRj-NlW_4S04mS2htkrKwMQMZyaTiJTjdOKE5e22oyO2I83OBVA/s320/IMG_9353-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579287706216058354" /></a><br />and another one I took in the stands:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurVKcv-YVD0bGzd6gCarlm69Jz2b6WmfxkW9QHVu-PQSz2lrw2-zEkYf3MhLOIgWeAvuz4JZrc0pgaKWhlEX6mrhK7samur-K7s70jGmCEMGOzI2m-XBAW8XavM2Ib94_w2s5EYaE-18/s1600/IMG_9046.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 259px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjurVKcv-YVD0bGzd6gCarlm69Jz2b6WmfxkW9QHVu-PQSz2lrw2-zEkYf3MhLOIgWeAvuz4JZrc0pgaKWhlEX6mrhK7samur-K7s70jGmCEMGOzI2m-XBAW8XavM2Ib94_w2s5EYaE-18/s320/IMG_9046.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5579288361502031618" /></a><br />Ok, enough about travels - I'm off to digiscrap!<br /><br />Love one another.<br /><br />Till Tomorrow,<br /><br />OzziepuddlesKim Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00046291488258787773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890540825626970707.post-6321937059187068102011-02-21T13:46:00.000-08:002011-02-21T14:55:15.346-08:00My Top Ten Television ShowsOK I have committed to do several top ten lists in order to look back years from now and remember what I enjoyed in my 40's.<br /><br />So, here are my current favorite Top Ten Television Shows:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnKEtKC4-QmW1IJz6xdhqr4cbzBZpoKhY3KUDqRSim8bjv5kcjbSEOP9ySAdVW8LLNtJTnpUe3dNbY05y5x-saCzatzuy8ZqGWKCgtVh3BsCqilVIgSFTtMPB_-Xfnx7Y9aGE8OjuqaE/s1600/imagesCAYX8X8R.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 164px; height: 163px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnKEtKC4-QmW1IJz6xdhqr4cbzBZpoKhY3KUDqRSim8bjv5kcjbSEOP9ySAdVW8LLNtJTnpUe3dNbY05y5x-saCzatzuy8ZqGWKCgtVh3BsCqilVIgSFTtMPB_-Xfnx7Y9aGE8OjuqaE/s400/imagesCAYX8X8R.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5576262997298317506" /></a><br /><br />1.

Ah, the day of love. I am so thankful to have my family, husband, puppy dogs, and friends! I love you all!<br /><br />Yesterday we spent the day moving my sister Stephanie and her three children back to Alabama. Friday I rode the train up to Greenville SC and met the most interesting people - a college professor, a man who was moving to Carolina from New Orleans, and a retired USAF master seargant something or another. They were delightful and I really enjoyed the train ride.<br /><br />So, we spent Saturday packing and loading and packing and loading, and hit the road yesterday at 7:00 AM. Everything was just peachy until we were on the west side of Atlanta. I was driving behind Stephanie and all of a sudden her Budget Rental Truck started rocking from side to side for no apparent reason. We pulled off the road, called Daddy and he eventually towed it to Tuscaloosa. Never a dull moment! In the meantime however I was able to snap some long overdue pics of my nephew and neices, Josh, Sarah and Angel. Here they are being silly:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilj3kBxVEbV0bNIHuS9mJeJyM6rFFIWhdKKlZmlqHpUwPxOj67MCLqFYqFdZftHE3X2iKTaSNYOzsWN07EFWZg5HreBys4_Xxv8jyhUqr9Xr-2XBurCdBzE-n53QbOhRaCLW46G1WgQlo/s1600/IMG_8133.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilj3kBxVEbV0bNIHuS9mJeJyM6rFFIWhdKKlZmlqHpUwPxOj67MCLqFYqFdZftHE3X2iKTaSNYOzsWN07EFWZg5HreBys4_Xxv8jyhUqr9Xr-2XBurCdBzE-n53QbOhRaCLW46G1WgQlo/s400/IMG_8133.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573577943374781394" /></a><br /><br />My favorite pic of my youngest neice Angel:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLFyrTwLJ0s3v2o_ttAt3MM1B28ZFrHrJudw31Ur4cFzKwiQSFxGmQr1mhkAC09R4N9dl05RuIXJwcP4Eu_W_MC8LcaEWC_AgGcjoh11t4HKwmDugvkRWcR844dfb5AAGqaXgtagQQoc/s1600/IMG_8156-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 347px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLFyrTwLJ0s3v2o_ttAt3MM1B28ZFrHrJudw31Ur4cFzKwiQSFxGmQr1mhkAC09R4N9dl05RuIXJwcP4Eu_W_MC8LcaEWC_AgGcjoh11t4HKwmDugvkRWcR844dfb5AAGqaXgtagQQoc/s400/IMG_8156-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573578312491553394" /></a><br />And her brother Josh:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpm-azv1VQzzlVtFqknjD44MN7IBtXgPOveZuwhb5d760ZI5ZDx4YbyXYtTytORlV7UlhlkKkWPyW9dCGC15BUaJOn4vr86gk5A9dttMr5C_53m4lGv3OaErKMHrPi1n5cbJRhEcA_Js/s1600/IMG_8202-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 397px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYpm-azv1VQzzlVtFqknjD44MN7IBtXgPOveZuwhb5d760ZI5ZDx4YbyXYtTytORlV7UlhlkKkWPyW9dCGC15BUaJOn4vr86gk5A9dttMr5C_53m4lGv3OaErKMHrPi1n5cbJRhEcA_Js/s400/IMG_8202-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573578790073070978" /></a><br />And Sarah:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1ZNfdkTpNBs21VEFc5ETMDZv5UrdkYiTH7nNt-zuNjthLvwqrUdDF5Ds3bEZE7ydu6daMmFlrHTnZd-UuCs1jBiRwC00F_8VrO1b7fHhxlOF8HN0M8s2eOPydJfeGzveFpt3PYFAEWI/s1600/IMG_8192.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1ZNfdkTpNBs21VEFc5ETMDZv5UrdkYiTH7nNt-zuNjthLvwqrUdDF5Ds3bEZE7ydu6daMmFlrHTnZd-UuCs1jBiRwC00F_8VrO1b7fHhxlOF8HN0M8s2eOPydJfeGzveFpt3PYFAEWI/s400/IMG_8192.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5573579040804094610" /></a><br />The kids are all starting a new school today..........I hope it goes well!Kim Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00046291488258787773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890540825626970707.post-66575623265256332052011-02-03T18:41:00.000-08:002011-03-04T07:16:49.053-08:00Woo Hoo!!!!!!

Chase is a taxidermist and both are avid hunters. Which led to eventual true love and thus the wedding:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU0_65qYCbNXditIpuEen9DyMP0_KRylTc0SxsnO0PtxQ3wSj18IFj7kWuZMj1zfrZBqPnZmyVi6W4GZzTvk4akmMF6MQGaziUyBHHpcI9D86xiE2pC_T9xF0IDS6CF5aV46NfDdBv9Tc/s1600/2-x600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU0_65qYCbNXditIpuEen9DyMP0_KRylTc0SxsnO0PtxQ3wSj18IFj7kWuZMj1zfrZBqPnZmyVi6W4GZzTvk4akmMF6MQGaziUyBHHpcI9D86xiE2pC_T9xF0IDS6CF5aV46NfDdBv9Tc/s400/2-x600.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568463308422870082" /></a><br />These squirrels would be the wedding cake topper. Nope, I'm not kidding. Chase stuffed them himself and Tina painted the fingernails and made the clothing. That's one wedding cake I would not touch with a ten foot pole! <br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBjVZQV1aGMalYsuzNtunh9Yzturclveasm6ES19WEpSX9sObl-oL7YiEvhNPg7ck9mch6Nad0zWUJ-EXX_2pDPyjH7yZLcUfou5A7TGD5rffEI84hGNG2Wm83_APpnZX6rKafNSPvnR4/s1600/2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBjVZQV1aGMalYsuzNtunh9Yzturclveasm6ES19WEpSX9sObl-oL7YiEvhNPg7ck9mch6Nad0zWUJ-EXX_2pDPyjH7yZLcUfou5A7TGD5rffEI84hGNG2Wm83_APpnZX6rKafNSPvnR4/s400/2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568463727578059538" /></a><br />This picture is of the entire cake - complete with bud light cans..........what camoflague squirrel wedding cake is complete without them?<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijEhLcrxlBRm61wVBccx5uamLENxWAHXLF-_J_QY8UarztXCRO6YthqhMwz3zD-nufZziz7H2X1JhFC_NLxEW-I1CEK4PU88c_LuQMreZ57y2dRoiAWB9bwP4TieuaZsPasBoVlwN1j5Y/s1600/3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijEhLcrxlBRm61wVBccx5uamLENxWAHXLF-_J_QY8UarztXCRO6YthqhMwz3zD-nufZziz7H2X1JhFC_NLxEW-I1CEK4PU88c_LuQMreZ57y2dRoiAWB9bwP4TieuaZsPasBoVlwN1j5Y/s400/3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5568464099703152530" /></a><br />Ah, the bride and her father coming down the isle - no, you're not seeing things.

And by this point I was laughing so hard I was crying. <br /><br />I woke up this morning giggling to myself about the squirrels.

My throat was killing me this morning and I called in sick to work. After sleeping most of the day, it is now 10:00 PM and I am watching a car auction. No, I'm not kidding. 500 television channels and nothing else on. I think I'm about to switch the channel to cartoons, because the auctioneer is getting on my nerves. I settled on Family Guy, which is much better than a car auction. Peter Griffin is sporting a mohawk (LOL), and evidentally the family dog, Brian, has spawned a human child. And it's still better than a car auction. Where is Jersylicious when you need it? LOL<br /><br />Oh well, enough with the television rant. I digiscrapped this evening - I'm a top five finalist for the CT Team for Scrapable.com - what an honor! I had to participate in a challenge to make the team out of their monthly FEB mega kit, and here is my submission:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuMruu9MiVyyQ1mIj9P4ELfRhb77XAcanaHx0VMRLF2C1m5m16xi4W1XwTPZ3J3un8EAFZwLCRrJONiTH-BCc9RhNrijWoODDedO1jMUgaaCm_hTbT1MJ_FMoj2sHCqxLoA21q-_X5ZYw/s1600/Scrapable-CT-Submission.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuMruu9MiVyyQ1mIj9P4ELfRhb77XAcanaHx0VMRLF2C1m5m16xi4W1XwTPZ3J3un8EAFZwLCRrJONiTH-BCc9RhNrijWoODDedO1jMUgaaCm_hTbT1MJ_FMoj2sHCqxLoA21q-_X5ZYw/s400/Scrapable-CT-Submission.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567091205079846562" /></a><br /><br />I also did a page from Kitty Designs and the name of the kit is Lovey Dovey.

Thursday I was carrying a mail bin from the Mal Moore Athletic Building across the street to my office. It only weighed, oh, 150,000 pounds (kidding but it was extremely heavy). In fact, the only way I could carry the thing was to prop it on my left hip and kind of waddle across the street. Well, that was the wrong thing to do. Evidentally I've pulled something in my back in by Friday at lunch I was at the doctors office. Now, armed with 800 mg motrin and loritab, I've spent all day at my friend Melissa's house digiscrapping!<br /><br />Here are my latest creations:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRtS6AvQPjLrqaEELL8CXqu-u8pGCbkWEroPkL0_ysWbeqJugKNemcbJ3e4IV1Z-0bTcRd9onxiGUsUYhHmoZWEoIpRVAZsBl-roGICSIeDSjTXYSmu_nk-A5l7-Dh7RJAShqBieA4JW4/s1600/Payton16.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRtS6AvQPjLrqaEELL8CXqu-u8pGCbkWEroPkL0_ysWbeqJugKNemcbJ3e4IV1Z-0bTcRd9onxiGUsUYhHmoZWEoIpRVAZsBl-roGICSIeDSjTXYSmu_nk-A5l7-Dh7RJAShqBieA4JW4/s400/Payton16.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565190763192969186" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnxdzyq_s3ykABuA9UcmdjP1OrZKCWy9TZM6kUVkb1Ea2JADkK4CzvVoBnRRq74a_-5TAeNuwOieg91hQvAbugmd-ea-khF-OxxPkYFuOWmkOt2FK4lqp_883qD6YUkngbo-g6Nlweq5k/s1600/Payton15.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnxdzyq_s3ykABuA9UcmdjP1OrZKCWy9TZM6kUVkb1Ea2JADkK4CzvVoBnRRq74a_-5TAeNuwOieg91hQvAbugmd-ea-khF-OxxPkYFuOWmkOt2FK4lqp_883qD6YUkngbo-g6Nlweq5k/s400/Payton15.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565191161657849138" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_QZydJ_dVsVzwUgaI6LcFukC_4KC5yj0OF4RdTiVneXr09HQqW2rY1p_6sMamCrTeFCJosnGu6bWU2xv_SfNnUe6FjzGtT2uOLzpXQLPNV3yULRA9ax8eWj3OsfSlU8X9u09Z-seNLk/s1600/Sally+and+Payton1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl_QZydJ_dVsVzwUgaI6LcFukC_4KC5yj0OF4RdTiVneXr09HQqW2rY1p_6sMamCrTeFCJosnGu6bWU2xv_SfNnUe6FjzGtT2uOLzpXQLPNV3yULRA9ax8eWj3OsfSlU8X9u09Z-seNLk/s400/Sally+and+Payton1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565206556759845890" /></a><br /><br />'Til Tomorrow,<br /><br />OzziepuddlesKim Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00046291488258787773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890540825626970707.post-37513059270612833832011-01-21T18:08:00.000-08:002011-01-21T18:51:58.118-08:00OK so I'm a little late.............First, the BIG NEWS! I applied for four digital design teams and I've made TWO! I'm officially on the design team of sweettomatoscrapper at polkadotplum.com and also a new designer at the same site, Jumbbumble Designs! Yay! I'm so excited to be a part of these two fab teams!!! I can't wait for you to see my designs for them - they both ROCK!<br /><br />In other news, I snapped some pics of Payton recently at my mother's house.

She was up there quicker than a spider monkey. And cried like she broke her leg when I took her off. She knew she wasn't supposed to be up there because she pointed to the table and said, "No, No, No!" Lord have mercy. Wonder if I was ever this mischevious? Probably. No, definately.

As promised, the first night produced sleet, covering around 1/4 of an inch of the ground, then it was snow and sleet, then...............nothing. I mean nothing. Not a flake. Not a drop. It was icy enough, though, to have a "Get Out of Work Free" day on Monday. (Sigh), I know, we must be grateful for the small things. Meanwhile, my sister in South Carolina got a foot of snow. Her kids have been out of school all week. I mean does Tuscaloosa have a snow curse on it or something? It's those weathermen. Unless my eyes deceive me does the snow accumulation map below not say we would get INCHES of the white stuff? That's just plain not nice to tell people that.<br /><br />Oh well, moving on, I was very grateful to my hubs Monday evening when he came to rescue (and I mean that literally) me from the one year old, chiuauah, and my mother, who currently has cancer.

From Pizza Hut, my very favorite. Did I mention I'm starving? Soooooo broke from the holidays that I can't even buy a digi scrap kit, and that's BROKE. Oh well, it certainly won't kill me not to eat lunch for a few days. But I might have to have a bag of microwave popcorn to stop my stomach from screaming!<br /><br />I took some pics, many of which you see below, of course on Christmas Day with my family. My dysfunctional, loving, great family. God help me. I thought I'd share a few of my faves with you today:<br /><br />Here's the traditional picture after the kids wake up and before they see what Santa Bought. I have no idea why we do it in the Hallway of my sister's house, but we do.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtZ2BRpbsyQphPQj5rYHtnCrOWu4W581vgM3RNr1z56FsxNZFUbuhA3H70fK9iA0RMNgDTkDzJ-uzP2KV6NMW6WZiqIRLsOtiuQFzY92hzx6bT4bu3W2uB-X-CrgIypnOE_mQntHz7mcs/s1600/IMG_0449-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtZ2BRpbsyQphPQj5rYHtnCrOWu4W581vgM3RNr1z56FsxNZFUbuhA3H70fK9iA0RMNgDTkDzJ-uzP2KV6NMW6WZiqIRLsOtiuQFzY92hzx6bT4bu3W2uB-X-CrgIypnOE_mQntHz7mcs/s400/IMG_0449-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5558816233826856450" /></a><br /><br />Here's Payton with the Baby Alive that I gave her.

Instead of taking photos every day (which I know I will NOT accomplish) I've decided to take pictures of family/friend events of significance and post several pics about them in templates. Then, at the end of the year my plan is to make a hard bound book to keep the memories. Here's my first page:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu4nGnUwWc68h9U089Wxo4FIjWlV51g6kVdVdUZfM6dhBNTBVim0dlJYdyu-FC64l66tH6-KXzcTE8vM_ShAVEXqZI52b2ZfNGTawmExJz69SQI5vcfDUFkI_cZD8fazv2wo3I5iw00gg/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu4nGnUwWc68h9U089Wxo4FIjWlV51g6kVdVdUZfM6dhBNTBVim0dlJYdyu-FC64l66tH6-KXzcTE8vM_ShAVEXqZI52b2ZfNGTawmExJz69SQI5vcfDUFkI_cZD8fazv2wo3I5iw00gg/s400/1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557812915281571938" /></a><br /><br />I've also completed several pages since my last post - both of these below are from Thaty Borges and the kit is Other Colors of Christmas:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCrsHZVwyTxk9PRySNJaHh4S_wKYSiaFxcaRa6bd5IWjrHwu5izfOOa_jbEznjxQaOBbi__ZRDXS9ZlDTYj2OsUpyoaHMLZbcrlCZz5tDQx9fBQjCGvZlKZdPtItgPFWobWrmFQvMAUw/s1600/Alli-and-Payton2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjCrsHZVwyTxk9PRySNJaHh4S_wKYSiaFxcaRa6bd5IWjrHwu5izfOOa_jbEznjxQaOBbi__ZRDXS9ZlDTYj2OsUpyoaHMLZbcrlCZz5tDQx9fBQjCGvZlKZdPtItgPFWobWrmFQvMAUw/s400/Alli-and-Payton2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557814698310890210" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4VPAx3M6gBx0e9S5crXxFFAbbCgXM4_ruq52t4ls6khhYFGJ0AzSaiKBPRBimO-gjaU6Px-KSOSOCLcAUsqrYDVoxhyeyYTvcIoD9qLPsyE07F-6tGOMKEPm2fyFWbCCoIXTC4Yrsn7c/s1600/Christmas-2010-B.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4VPAx3M6gBx0e9S5crXxFFAbbCgXM4_ruq52t4ls6khhYFGJ0AzSaiKBPRBimO-gjaU6Px-KSOSOCLcAUsqrYDVoxhyeyYTvcIoD9qLPsyE07F-6tGOMKEPm2fyFWbCCoIXTC4Yrsn7c/s400/Christmas-2010-B.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557815068687763218" /></a><br /><br />And Here's a fun one I just did tonight from Faith True and Fruit Loop Sally at Scrap Orchard called "Girl Talk".<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZXBDxzaiSLIan8DrfvznSAXC5YcUGqJjNPvTO9yrhMkgUl-kbJZk9BzLnA4-w2Q0PoVeqmwANGZGdM2Pg8M59TYeLYBlD1yFRhzuwRCEScTm3fGoEVaSUZEeJAPpdZemKD9rgO2vu2s/s1600/Sally-10.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOZXBDxzaiSLIan8DrfvznSAXC5YcUGqJjNPvTO9yrhMkgUl-kbJZk9BzLnA4-w2Q0PoVeqmwANGZGdM2Pg8M59TYeLYBlD1yFRhzuwRCEScTm3fGoEVaSUZEeJAPpdZemKD9rgO2vu2s/s400/Sally-10.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557815581563065730" /></a><br /><br />Now I'm off to ponder New Year's Resolutions - that might take the rest of the evening LOL.<br /><br />Till Tommorrow,<br /><br />OzziepuddlesKim Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00046291488258787773noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890540825626970707.post-71967756210138357202010-12-28T17:58:00.000-08:002010-12-28T18:26:22.737-08:00New Kits, New PagesK Studio has the cutest stinking kits, as my sister would say!

Christmas is almost here! I can't wait to see Payton open her presents and be with my family. We'll be up at 6:00 AM and at my sister's house to see the kids see what Santa brought, then Bill and I will be off to the country to his dad's family Christmas. A long day but always so good to see everyone. <br /><br />I have found two more great Christmas kits - and hope you enjoy them as well as your holiday!<br /><br />The first one is <a href="http://www.scraporchard.com/market/product.php?productid=21379&cat=0&page=1">Santa Rocks </a>by Lindsey Riches and Laura Banasiak at Scrap Orchard.

I left my external hard drive at work today and have no digi scrap kits. So, with nothing to scrap now here I sit. And I began to think about the secret to really good scrapping, digital or paper. It's the photo. I've been working on my photos recently, and have invested in the coolest editing program I've ever seen - Adobe Lightroom 3. <br /> <br /><br />It has made a world of difference in my pictures, making good ones better and bad ones, well, publishable (is that a word? LOL) I highly recommend anyone who scraps to invest in this great program! Here are some of my lightroom-edited pics:<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5p9b_bq0iapm2PGGpbu8iIvhbs183QNcYGQOQavcVlfwEku0Zmr4kENRDHjc9hOqVKdmq78xSoo1Sguo4af8o2D9qw083r4hmnFbfJY_FypAZ7Zlz-RXJCIWXqNeRQH6hCp26UkzU9Uo/s1600/Payton6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5p9b_bq0iapm2PGGpbu8iIvhbs183QNcYGQOQavcVlfwEku0Zmr4kENRDHjc9hOqVKdmq78xSoo1Sguo4af8o2D9qw083r4hmnFbfJY_FypAZ7Zlz-RXJCIWXqNeRQH6hCp26UkzU9Uo/s400/Payton6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550742960116336930" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1JzMldWz-e6U8wlIxGkAJ_POPcGVT8_hYlymRji6Jjmh_rI3_6iPloqTLUp-SRq6Fg7dawYRNvyU193lBWsX6v08E5TXKIt2bjOlJIyG0y-BttTs1lilGDVUqkaben2cHb7Aq1Wu7V8/s1600/PSE46-2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh1JzMldWz-e6U8wlIxGkAJ_POPcGVT8_hYlymRji6Jjmh_rI3_6iPloqTLUp-SRq6Fg7dawYRNvyU193lBWsX6v08E5TXKIt2bjOlJIyG0y-BttTs1lilGDVUqkaben2cHb7Aq1Wu7V8/s400/PSE46-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550743572168883282" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqXAFdgNrzHijAZb-YhSI82eaRPMEi6M9HM2MRfOjvsBiMm3ENXpjXX1OAgUoBR3YOD-ZDDgrJxgKstgJYHd59qTi0NAje22Qrcuxnn5mD5s2HJjmAFv2YpPYSvvXqpHUe2gXaAFP42Y/s1600/PSE76-2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 307px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDqXAFdgNrzHijAZb-YhSI82eaRPMEi6M9HM2MRfOjvsBiMm3ENXpjXX1OAgUoBR3YOD-ZDDgrJxgKstgJYHd59qTi0NAje22Qrcuxnn5mD5s2HJjmAFv2YpPYSvvXqpHUe2gXaAFP42Y/s400/PSE76-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550743923427008978" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeS0CueknjChtGEVP5RKWQ86J_-zYo_JxqnsJBku6Xhcs6jzeflrFSD7O3RNaHoG_WIDS2oXi-JVBGA_BUaw5YnX_dXo0mBbUPlYkoW2OWT928G8M3-BZ5ibY_u-m5WMTBwoj3ENEh7Jc/s1600/PSE71-2.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 302px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeS0CueknjChtGEVP5RKWQ86J_-zYo_JxqnsJBku6Xhcs6jzeflrFSD7O3RNaHoG_WIDS2oXi-JVBGA_BUaw5YnX_dXo0mBbUPlYkoW2OWT928G8M3-BZ5ibY_u-m5WMTBwoj3ENEh7Jc/s400/PSE71-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550744665370630818" /></a><br />These were taken in Destin, Florida this past June. And edited with lightroom. Oh, by the way there are a few photography blogs I would like to share:<br /><a href="http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/">Pioneer Woman </a>- Awesome photo tips on this site as well as tutorials on tons of Photoshop Elements Actions! I read this every day.<br /><a href="http://booshay.blogspot.com/">The Quiet Life </a>- Donna Bouchet has fantastic skills and talent. And she also has wise words. Check out her blog. I promise you won't be disappointed.<br /><a href="http://simplybloomphotography.com/blog/">Simply Bloom Photography </a>- Wow.

It is the shopping season after all (LOL). But I just love them! And, I have pics from last Christmas to scrap, scrap, scrap!<br /><br />Today I am applying for Traci Reed's design team. She has always been one of my favorite fun designers (and trust me there are few) and she's having a design team call! If I've been a really good scrapper maybe "Santa" will pick me! Cross your fingers everyone!<br /><br />Here are a few more Christmasy delights that I've done. I'm making a hardbound book for my immediate family members for Christmas of the scrap pages I've created this year. These will be included. Oh and yes, snapfish is getting their light bill paid by me this Christmas.<br /><br />This one is of Payton, my most favorite subject since I'm such a proud grandmother! It's from <a href="http://www.elementalscraps.com/shoppe/Trim-The-Tree-kit.html">Bellagypsy</a> at Elemental Scraps. It's called Trim the Tree. Just click on the colored link and you'll find it! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg65th6ZfL0MptlBrA1AQCxH7Y90mWXu8pS-JWycXdbMz9EqtypcgiqZAXChrAEK2pJlulBnd8d0Eo2bZLXoEkL62CRaZwphCnNGNiCWHNKgZhQlGA4vYtOMTFFjYALw1Xa5Pv7ZkBU8Eo/s1600/Christmas+2009+E.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg65th6ZfL0MptlBrA1AQCxH7Y90mWXu8pS-JWycXdbMz9EqtypcgiqZAXChrAEK2pJlulBnd8d0Eo2bZLXoEkL62CRaZwphCnNGNiCWHNKgZhQlGA4vYtOMTFFjYALw1Xa5Pv7ZkBU8Eo/s400/Christmas+2009+E.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550327934991560994" /></a><br /><br />Oh, and while you're in her shop, most of her kits are only $2.00!!! Whoo Hoo! I am loving me a bargain on some scrappin' kits (doing the happy dance)!!!!!<br /><br />The next one is of Ashley, my daughter and of course Payton. This kit is named <a href="http://www.littledreamerdesigns.com/newshoppe/product.php?productid=2624&cat=0&page=1">Peace on Earth </a>and is a joint effort between Penny Springman and Tickled Pink Studio at Little Dreamer Designs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdV3JQ0TgVy5pvtpWcbs6aQwyrtnjMlKQsoXtoS1sLLtdr_2fPXJ8SPeBZiFB6billOMN9V2IXhaU7WPoxigJzurxBTBLNOnZrFqSzlpn5glW164GCSducXNyWHdd3rUSG3dHgDm8ZLuQ/s1600/Christmas+2010+B.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdV3JQ0TgVy5pvtpWcbs6aQwyrtnjMlKQsoXtoS1sLLtdr_2fPXJ8SPeBZiFB6billOMN9V2IXhaU7WPoxigJzurxBTBLNOnZrFqSzlpn5glW164GCSducXNyWHdd3rUSG3dHgDm8ZLuQ/s400/Christmas+2010+B.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550330553543940130" /></a><br /><br />And one more for today.........then some blog sprucing up to do. It may shock some of you that not EVERYTHING I scrap is of a "fun" nature. Occasionally I dig deep and really try to do something very pretty. Here's an example of my effort:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjuXDj-1qs_tEv91IRTXcDD0suwaVBB6_27hnIeMhS0gisWmlwWKz9sSIzFeFemQZNksfovKfUZDyyuTT6gSE057V9dqXfuxQxCd4_zP58T0umyRNacIkJ4SUBQTpTxjl3QVL1gOm8_Y/s1600/Christmas+2010D.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgjuXDj-1qs_tEv91IRTXcDD0suwaVBB6_27hnIeMhS0gisWmlwWKz9sSIzFeFemQZNksfovKfUZDyyuTT6gSE057V9dqXfuxQxCd4_zP58T0umyRNacIkJ4SUBQTpTxjl3QVL1gOm8_Y/s400/Christmas+2010D.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5550333686586180002" /></a><br /><br />This kit is named <a href="http://www.digitalscrapbookingstudio.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=13_238&products_id=6084">Christmas Eve Party </a>and was created by eqrAveziur Designs at digitalscrapbookingstudio.com.<br /><br />Well it's off to do some blog maintenance and then hopefully to bed before midnight tonight!

I am having so much fun with Christmas Kits! As whimsical as I am, I have found several that I hope you enjoy. I will post the links where you can purchase these below. All of these feature my family, especially my granddaughter Payton.<br /><br />I've decided to apply for a few creative teams (crossing fingers). I now have the time to devote to it, and since I'm scrapping anyway I might as well do it for a few of my favorite designers!<br /><br />Anywho, here are some of my latest creations.
