Workin' all day just to earn a dime........

Here are the latest layouts from my scrapbooking class.

This one is to show a part of my daily routine. I ride Maxine everyday and always try to go someplace different each day.

This one is to show something that is a part of me. I chose words because I love to read and write so much.
This class has been a lot of fun, too. I've been blessed to have two classes that have meant a lot to me. Actually, with the journaling class, about six of us are still communicating even though the class was completed several weeks ago. One of the ladies has gotten a new help dog. It is fun to read of their adventures and see their pictures. Another one is dealing with her father in a nursing home and her hubby with Parkinson's. Needless to say, both are experiencing new travels.
With the scrapbooking class, I have completed all the assignments and the class isn't over until September 5th. I am still hanging around because I am learning from everyone.
I have several other projects I want to complete. I'm doing a circle journal on faith and it needs to be mailed the first of September. I have some of the pages done and basically a start on everything. I need to put the pages together and get them into the album. I'm also doing some altered cd's and more of my recipe pages. And I can't forget my goal challenge. Next month I have a new challenge page along with the goal one. I'll also have more faith CJ pages to do.
For this year I had wanted to complete 24 LO's - that would be two a month. Needless to say, I'm going to get much more done. :)
And the beat goes on.........

Gypsy Lady........

I have been horribly neglectful of this blog over the past few weeks. I have been busy winding down with my travel journal class and starting my scrapbooking class. Plus I've been having some dental problems and went into a total melt down after calling every dentist in my county to find every single one of them want money up front will not consider payments. I guess people without insurance or who are on limited incomes aren't suppose to have their teeth fixed, just pulled. I'm going tomorrow for a check up and really hate to hear the bad news. I know I've got three that need work, so who knows how many more will. *Sigh* I really feel it has been caused by the Advair I take. Even though I brush each time I use it besides after I eat, I still have these problems in my front teeth.

Enough of that or I'll make myself depressed once more!

On to my scrapbooking class. I am loving it and have several more pages to post here.

The first one was to have three pictures. These pets are my "kids".

This page had to be a pocket page following her directions for making the pocket. Since our anniversary was last week and we got so many wonderful cards, I decided to use the pocket to hold them.


Yesterday I got two cd's covered to start making anniversary cards for both my brother and SIL and my niece and her hubby. Theirs are this week.

Because you loved me ...............
