Look at the book I found.

I am not a reader for enjoyment, only knowledge!!! But this little book caught my eye and I could not resist buying it after I found out the setting of the story. It's called " A Page out of Life" A scrapbooking novel by Kathleen Reid. It is about a group of scrapbooker's and how scrapbooking is like thearpy for the group of ladies and the adventures that are happening in their lives!!! The back reads....When frazzled mother of four Ashley Gates lets her best friend drag her to a meeting of the lacal scrapbooking club, she's amazed at the way old photos and mementoes can bring vivid color to spepia-toned memories. Included in the story line is a college student searching for love, a semi retired teacher that has a son in a corporate scandal in a small town. Then there is Ashley who copes with her husbands love for her that fluctuates with her weight.

I have not started reading on it but can't wait!!!!!!

If anyone has read this please post about the book.

Have a great day,

Tracy

Here is the matted print I am donating for Peggy's fundraiser this Saturday at Crossroads Community Church. I do not know Peggy personally but I love to help people and she is in need of prayer for healing and a mound of medical bills.

This is also my first print that I am going to put on my web-site portfolio for sale.

Comments and Crituque welcome.

Have a blessed day,

Tracy

It's a happy day in the neighborhood....won't you be my neighbor.

Okay, so I am reminisint of Mr. Rogers.... I used to love watching his childrens show and it did not matter how old I was. I wish their were more show like his that our children WOULD Watch!!!

So we sat at the ball fields yesterday knowing we were playing a power team.!!!!!! We were like their 50th game for the season and had been practicing since February. They were our 3rd game and we started last week. We did not get slaughtered though, I think the All Stars held them well. We lost 10-0 and it poured on our boys but the did not give up and hopefully they learned something. We held them to the 5th inning until they scored the 10 point run rule, so that is worth noteing.

Luck for the team parents, we went to Walmart the day before and bought a canopy to sit under...boy those come in handy for hot sunny days. We have several more tournaments ahead of us to get use out of our canopy. It was so fun for all of us to be huddled un it together. Really it was. Us moms chatted, laughed and cheered on our boys. We were pround no matter what the score, the weather or who was winning. We love our boys. Our parent shirts should be in by wednesday, we can't wait to match our boys....

As soon as I get the pictures loaded I will post.

You all have a fantastic day.

P.s. I have news..... I have been working on my photography website!!!! Yes, finally I did it. I also ordered business cards. I will post when it is ready to show.

Have a blessed day,

Tracy

Hi, Back from Vacation

Hi to all in blogland. I can't believe it's been so long, I almost did not remember how to log in.

We left on Friday the 13th of March to Las Vegas NV to see my dad. It was a great trip, 10 days, 11 states and 4000 Miles later we came home. I had never been to some of the states, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. We also visited 6 national parks and one of them being the Grand Canyon. Wow, it was so amazing to see God's beauty, I had a tears of wonder, joy and awwww, from the look out tower at the GC. God is so awesome.

I hope that blogger is now going to work with me on uploading photos!!! Blogging for me is an online scrapbook and it's hard to tell a story without a photo.

God Bless,
Have a great day,
Tracy

My Cricut Mats

I just had to share this even without a picture!!!! Yes, I know!! I always say it's all about the picture for me. Anyway, I rediscoved a tip on how to extend the life of my Cricut mats and had to try it out. So I did and it worked. The tip you ask? Use the CTMH blue juicy glue and cover it on every area of your mat. Let the may lay for 45 mins come back and walah!!!! It is sticky once again. At the retreat this weekend someone from the group said they also use the brayer to put the plastic covering back on the mat when storing it. So I am doing that as well.

If you have any tips or tricks for your cricut mats I would love to hear them, please leave a comment or send me an email.

I do have lots to tell and share but I don't have time yet, I have to get my layout ready for my crop tomorrow night and I am running out of time!!!

ps, hi Lyla!!!!

Have a blessed day,
Tracy
