We were at the beach for a couple days with family.

Barbara, Steve's Sister, had come down from Alaska on Friday and planned to go to the Beach for a few days.  So we joined Barbara, her Son David and Steve's Sister Dianne and her Daughter Hali and granddaughter Piper and of course Great Grandma for a couple days at Newport, OR.  

Here are lots of pictures from Saturday, in the back is Grandpa Steve, with Miss Mary, Dawn and Great Grandma, Miss Hailey, Jordan and Zackery.  They all love GG so much. 
There are 4 generations in this picture.
Jordan playing in the water at Agate Beach.
Zackery and Jordan in the water.

Great Grandma kept asking me, "How can he get in the water like that? It's got to be cold."

Hali, Dianne and her Grand Daughter Piper, Barbara Grandpa Steve with Miss Mary and Zackery.
Jordan, Zackery, Mary and Hailey walking on the rocks looking for tiny crabs and other sea creatures.


We found these on a huge rock and thought they look like Lizard toes.  We don't know what they are but we thought they were a pretty cool find.
The lizard toes up close, Aren't they pretty cool

Grandpa Steve and Jordan were checking out all the little crevices in the rock wall.
This one has a little pool in it. 
Look at all the holes in the huge rock.


Jordan found a cool rock.
When he picked it up he found some tiny crabs.

This guy was smaller than a nickel.

 This little guy was a little larger.
 Here is an anemone that we found. Some were green with purple ends and some were orange.


 Miss Piper loved playing in the water.  She would stomp around then just start laughing.  She is so cute.
Cousin David rinsing the sand off everyone, while Grandpa Steve inspects. 
The girls shirts were in the car that had to park way up on the road,
so Grandpa Steve let them wear his shirts till mom could get theirs.
When Grandpa first offered the shirts Hailey said,"a No Thanks!" So Grandpa explained it was to keep her warm till Mom came back with her own shirt.  Then when she came out in this giant shirt and everyone laughed and thought they were cute she was ok with wearing it.  I told Grandpa all he would have had to do is tell her it was a dress and she would have put it right on, she loves dresses.
Miss Mary and Miss Piper laughing at Mary's toes.
Mary would wiggle her toes and Piper would just burst out laughing.
Miss Piper giving Cousin Dawn a big hug.
Great Grandma Joan with three of her children, Steve, Barbara and Dianne, and three of her grandchildren, Dawn, David and Hali, and five Great Grandchildren, Jordan, Zackery, Mary, Hailey and Piper
Grandpa Steve walking Dawn and the grandchildren back to their car,
so they can head back to Beavercreek.
We went to Mo's for dinner and then walked around on the pier
 and found these two Sea Lions laying on the dock below.
We returned to the motel for the evening so we could get up and walk on the beach again.  This was the first time I have been on the Beach in several years and I was able to walk in the soft sand and it didn't bother me at all like it used to.  I even found some small shells while I was out there.  I owe it all to my Dr, and the Diet he put me on 8 1/2 months ago.  I am so excited I want to go again. 

Maybe I will scrapbook some of these.

Happy Scrapin',

Janice

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.  
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace, my soul's at rest, there is no need for tears.
For with your love I was so blessed, for all those many years.
There is no pain, I suffer not, the fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts, in your memory I live on.
Remember not my fight for breath , remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death, but celebrate my life.

May he rest in peace.

Close To My Heart Convention.

Is at Disneyland this year and it is going on right now.  We, who couldn't go, are watching Facebook and Twitter constantly just to hear and see what is being unveiled in the new Autumn 2011 Idea book.  Well I can tell you that a lot of changes were made.  I just found out the that new Idea book is online, on the Corporate website, so I went to check it out.

We now have a Cricut cartridge and stamp sets to match, along with die-cuts. The Cricut cartridge images fit some of our other stamp sets too.

New lower prices again this year;
A size is $6.95
B Size is 9.95
C size is 13.95
D size is 17.95
E size is 29.95

The Stamp Of The Month has changed too.  Now when you purchase $50.00 you can get the Stamp of the Month for just $5.00.

These are just a few of the changes that I found, aren't they great?  I can hardly wait to get my hands on the new Idea Book.

It's Coming Up Roses!!!

Here are pictures of the Roses that I was working on yesterday.  I used the SU Petal Punch and made a cut file so I didn't have to punch so many times.  Each rose took a different number of petals, I just worked with them till I thought they looked like a real rose would.  I will be selling these as package toppers for $3.00 - $5.00.  I haven't quite decided yet.

New Do for me.

I got a hair cut last week and I didn't like it so I went back this morning and asked them to fix it.  They did, so I thought that since I have lost 30 pounds from when the last picture was taken and I got a new do, I should change my profile pictures.  



Just in case you couldn't remember my old picture.

I am hoping to loose more weight before September, when we celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary. 

As far as crafts go, I have been working all day on 2 roses that I will hopefully be able to show you tomorrow.  I think they will make gorgeous package toppers. 

And as for my flower beds, I hope the sun will come out tomorrow so I can take pictures of what I have been doing, I forgot to take before pictures. I still have to put in 2 walkways and my flag pole but for the most part I am done with tearing out grass and planting.

I found my camera charger!!!

Ok so I told you that I would post the pictures of the cards that I made for Junes card class, so here they are.    
The birdbath is made from three ovals, the top and bottom ones are cut in half.  I also used my new Lattice   embossing folder.


And here are the cards and bookmark for this month's card class.

It is hard to see in this picture, but I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder on the top half of this card.  The B&T Paper is from Cherry-O level 2 paper pack.

I don't know why these pictures are kind of fuzzy, sorry about that.  The dotted B&T paper is from Olivia level 2 paper pack and I used Sunset and Barn Red to make this card.

This card needs some brads in the upper right corner, I have ordered them so they will be here class. The B&T Paper is from You Rock level 2 paper pack.

This is a corner Bookmark.  I used Sunny Yellow and Dutch Blue, along with colored pencils.  If you want the instructions to make one yourself just leave a comment or email me.

Wow, What a week.

I have finally finished my front flower bed up to the walk way where I have to put in stepping stones.  I am putting in the plastic edging so I don't have to keep doing this every year.  I have Shasta Daisy's, Crocosmia, Bells, Columbine, Lupine, Delphinium, red Begonias and Alyssum, along with Lewesia, Moss Rose and a few Step-ables.  Tomorrow I am starting on the other side of the walk way and going as far down that side as I can, until the edging runs out.  I wish I could find my camera charger, I would love to be able to show you what it is I am talking about.  So far I think it has turned out nicely.  I have to take out some Day Lillie's that are in the way for me to put in my flag pole, so if you know anyone who wants them, have them call me to arrange getting them.  I hate to see them go to waste.  I have some other plants too, Shasta Daisy's, Bells, Hardy Geraniums, Columbine,  Butterfly Bushes and strawberry plants and My Grandson Zack has Horse Chestnut trees too...  Zack started them from chestnuts about 5 years ago and some of them are as tall as me (5'2") He sells his trees for $10.00 each.

We are getting closer to my goal of 15,000 hits and I will be giving away some blog candy.  I know I was supposed to post the picture of the blog candy but I still have to find my charger, to do that.  Sorry, I really do have some candy to give away.

Happy 4th everyone, I hope you have a safe and fun evening.
