Mother

Mom will celebrate her birthday this month. She will be 93!!!

This month my premier membership at scrappersguide teaches us how to make vintage frames. I made the frames in the LO & it was fun to put on the creases, bent corner, stains & burn the edges etc. I turned the photo to sepia & painted in mom's blue eyes & rosy cheeks --but the blue eyes are not showing up in this LO .Kit is BloomonBeauty by Anja Schernau.QP by LisaBrown with my changes

Jessa & Brandi
went to a horse camp at Bunker Hills this summer.
They were in awe to be riding real horses & not just pony's
Seriously learning to ride properly.
They had to brush their horse, saddle it,walk ,stop, turn & trot

Amberpony over at StoneAccentsStudio has her first kit up in the store. It has two pony's in the kit that are absolutely adorable. I made two quickpages using her kit.If you would like them you can get them HERE.

Life after the closing of Cottagescrapbooks

Well I have not applied to join another CT .I am rather enjoying the break from weekly LO deadlines & posting to 4 different sites every week. My goal now is to digiscrap my heritage photos & scan in photos of my kids & restore them. These photos were taken back in the 70's when the worse film every made in the history of film types was being sold--kodak daisy ?? film. The photos are all turning red etc.
Tomorrow I will have cataract surgery. The hardest part was arranging transportation to & from the eye center for two separate procedures ( they only do one eye at a time). I just hate to bother my kids cause Brent wil loss work time & Sally has 4 kids- the one year old & 3 year old doesn't make driving in very early am too easy.They both have been great about it. The part of doing only one eye at a time is in case it doesn't go well. That is a bit scary.Possible complications can be bleeding,infection, eyesight loss & even loss of eye!!! However the procedure is common with great results so I am keeping that my focus.
