Evolution of Dance

Dancing was a all one time favorite thing of mine to do..until I got sick..but I still enjoy watching..it..
I was watching the movie..the secret..and got to thinking...this pain..has been taking control of my life..and I need to put a bit of humor back into it..so..watched a few funny video..and then this one really caught my eye..and brought back so many fun memories..man..I wish I could dance like this again..some day..right..enjoy..I will be back later ...with another post..after I find myself off you tube..smiles..catch you later..huggies, Joanne

A Long time ago..

I would have been 16 months old here..smiles..to the left is my mother and father..and to the right..pop and nan..and my brother billy...pop was a seafaring captain...of a boat which ran freight from boston to st.johns.

Captain Billy he was called.

I can see from this picture why my mom said sammy looks so much like my dad..he really do..

I remember pop..but don't remember nan..nan died early from the same illness I have..

I remember visiting pop..and getting out the charcols..and paper and sketching his old boat photos..he had..for years he had a huge one I did hanging over his mantle..I don't know what happened to it after pop died..living so far away ..I have lost so much of my past...family history..so was ever so pleased when my sister scanned these photos and emailed them to me..

Thank you for viewing..

have a nice day

Happy Scrappin

Snow in Labrador

Credits:From Prince to a King by Stacey Carlton

my own doodle flourishes.

Hard to believe that on May 24th, it snowed here..I remember years ago while out biking for the day getting second degree sunburn..but got no worries about that now..smiles..

I am blaming all the pain I have had lately on the dampness..and praying for sunshine long enough to dry up the ground..we live in a bog area..and the land is very damp..

While it seems most of the world is ready for summer flowers..we are so far behind..

Meet Harley, my Goddaughter

This is my goddaughter Harley..

she is such a sweetie..and so smart..

She is so loving and I love how she says my name..

Papers Preview

This is just a preview of the papers so you can get a better idea of all of them.

Sweet Orange Bliss Paper Pkgs

Sweet Orange Blitz Paper Pkgs

I have made a total mess of uploading these paper packages..please forgive me..and if you think you are confused..maybe you will understand how confused I am..

to try to make it a bit easier for me..and hopefully for you too..I am going to post all the links..one time to the paper packages..

the links that have shared written beside them are ones that if you already downloaded the papers you have..the rest are new..

the preview..above is for paper pkg 6 of the 4 shared links..

There are some nice papers in these downloads and do not think you will be disappointed..in them..I tired to provide a variety of styles..for mixing and matching for different layouts..some fun and funky to more elegant and soft..a little something femine and masculine..

again..sorry if I have confused anyone..

Thank you for visiting..and for all the wonderful comments..I wish I could thank you all personally..because you are all wonderful to take the time out to leave little old me a comment..a bit of praise..or thank you..you are what gives me purpose to my personal time after being a mommy and wife..all day..without you to share it with..what would be the purpose of it..smiles..

Thank you to those that list me..too..without you..how would anyone find me in the great big digi scrapbooking world..which just gets bigger and bigger each day...

a few more element pkgs to go..and then..I have a nice bonus to share that matches all this..and hopefully you will have about a cd full of goodies..that you can pull up and create with it..

Anyone interested in making brag pages..to share..feel free to do so..but I so would love to see if you do..

much love..have a great day even if the sun is not shining..the rain waters the flowers of our gardens..and helps the flowers grow..and just like you ..makes the world..a much brighter and more beautiful place..to be in..

Happy Scrappin..

That's my baby..oh my I have had these pictures on computer for what seems like forever waiting for the right inspiration to come along and scrap them...

For a long time..I have never really found a place to call home on the internet...the digiscrapbooking world is just to big..to try and find a place to feel at home..

I am a women..who needs a sense of humor in her life..as I am way to serious about things..

and I have been enjoying my visits to ScrapOrchid and always read a post or two that brings a smile to my face..They have a contest going on..so you think you can design...

I found this wonderful freebie there..and right away I got inspired..and remembered these photos..sitting there just waiting..for me to do something with them..

I visited the creators blog..Digi Delights her name is Kristen..and her blog to has some very nice free things to scrap with..the quality impressed me..no jaggies..or blurry elements or papers..

and I fell in love..with the duck..too!

Thank you Kristen..for the lovely gift..my little boy looks so cute in it..

Looking at the pics..I miss the younger years..smiles..

He still loves bubbles though..and water...this past week..he has been having a blast soaking my kitchen counter and floor making water balloons to through outdoors at our broken down car..he tells me he is cleaning it for me..I don't mind a bit..at least the dog has been spared his mischeif..smiles.

Happy Scrapping..

For those that maybe wondering the chain etc will come in a hardware pkg later.

Thank you for visiting!

Thank you for comments they have been so encouraging for me, I love reading them.

Thank you to Maria and Ikea godess for listing me, there are so many blogs out there and the listing is very appreciated.

I had a lazy mothers day..playing solitaire...love playing spider..smiles.., watching some of my favorite shows on video, and just doing nothing all day..

I missed my mother of course..it was strange not to pick up the phone and call her..one of my dear friends husbands had a stroke..she is like a mom to me..and I have been praying for his recovery and wishing I could be there with her..

It has been a bad few weeks for arthritis pain...kind of drives you mad some days..I live on a bog area..and with all the snow melting am begining to think that the reason it is so bad lately maybe due to all the damp and cold..coming from the ground..if that is the case..I hope summer comes soon..we still have patches of snow on the ground..but hopefully it will be gone in a week and the ground can start drying out..and my bones will feel a little better..too!

Sweet Orange Blitz Freebie

Sweet Orange Blitz Freebie

I made this kit..to celebrate international scrapbooking day for the next few weeks..it is over 700 megs, created in 300 ppi...full of nice alphas, brads, overlays, elements, journaling bits, and papers.

This lovely alpha..was created with the help of a new toy I purchased...from

Terry Maruca's Shop at ScrapBook Bytes

It is going to be one of my favorite tools..to work with..I just love the idea of having a sewing machine on my computer, and can picture my grandma..who taught me to make my first quilt..having such a smile at the thought of being able to do it on computer.

I hope, I have done this lovely action justice as I am just learning adobe elements and can't quite get it to do everything I want to do yet..like I can in paint shop..

Download this first part of this kit..
