Prime days are coming up! July 11-12.

I just got these pans for our camper and I think they are going to be my new go to for gifts! They are amazing! I love how much space they can save with the detachable handle. They are also so easy to clean!

Check them out here.

Do you want to clean your shower, sink, car tires?? These are a great add on to any drill to help you do just that!

As a teacher I use quite a bit of dry erase markers. I've heard these are the best out there. I'm excited to try these this next year.

Come on you guys!! Isn't this the coolest keyboard you've ever seen!! I had to have something so cool to make my office space more exciting. It just makes me happy!

Stage Coach Days in Arizona

2014-03-26T11:23:00.000-06:00

We had the great opportunity to come visit my Dad in Florence, AZ for our spring break! He bought the Stage Coach that my Uncle owned and gave tourists rides in Jackson Hole, WY for decades. I even had the opportunity to drive it for a few weeks when my other Uncle, (who drove it for his summer job off of teaching) had some other business to take care of. I was able to perform in the shoot out in Jackson as well that summer. Such great times and memories. I'm glad my Dad was able to keep the memories alive. The harnesses on this team ("Dime & Dollar") belonged to my Grandfather.

Facebook Covers

2014-01-30T16:51:00.001-07:00

Have you seen some of the cute Facebook Cover's circulating around the Facebook world? Well, I thought I would make up a couple for you to use! Just click on the image of the Facebook Cover you want to use and it will directly download for you.

This first one you will need a photo editing software that uses layers. You can open it and then put your pictures on the bottom layers. Then resave the file and upload it to your Facebook.

This next one you can just save and upload it to your Facebook Cover if you do not want any pictures as your cover.

Remember, these are for personal use! Do not resell or use for commercial business. I hope you enjoy these! I had a lot of fun designing them!

Template #9

It has been a long time since I've made a template. This was rather simple. I hope that you will use it and come back to this blog for more! I got my inspiration from this challenge.

This is a 12x12 Template. You can click on the image for direct download or download HERE. Also, please comment if you download.

A & B's Wedding

2013-07-01T14:52:00.002-06:00

My niece asked me if I would take some pictures of her wedding for her. It was bright sun that day and I was worried I wouldn't get any that turned out, but I think we got some good ones. I can't believe she is married! She was born the year I graduated high school and she is only six years older than my oldest. She's the youngest of my nieces and nephews before my children were born. I don't want to face reality and know that time keeps marching on. :-)

New Year 2013

2013-01-04T14:48:00.001-07:00

Wow, it is a New Year!! I am excited. I would like to get out of the rut that I have been in the last year and get back into scrapbooking and blogging and documenting! I need to get into a routine and I'm sure that will help a lot. I don't think I will be creating my own desktop backgrounds again but would like to get some more scrapbooking templates up for you all to enjoy. In the meantime, I have found some websites I would like to share.

Water Droplets

2012-05-07T13:01:00.000-06:00

Early in May we turned the sprinklers on but Mother Nature had different plans and decided to freeze that night. It made for some fun photos though! I love my lens also. I won a contest last year (see post here) and was able to buy the AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Lens! I love it!

Weekly Photos

2012-03-16T14:12:00.000-06:00

The Weekly Photos really fell by the way side didn't they ....??? So, I'm just going to post some pictures I took this month on a snowmobile trip we went on. I hope you enjoy them. I really think that I'm getting a little better at taking pictures. I also Color Calibrated my monitor using the Datacolor Spyder4Express S4X100 and WHOA you wouldn't believe the difference. Maybe that's why I think my photos are better. They are actually the true color.

If you would like to see the full orientation of the two square pictures you can view them at my Facebook Page.

I also made a Color Bar from one of the photos just for fun! You can get the Action at Coffee Shop's Blog.

Wow, it sure has been a while since I've offered a free digital template for you ... let alone scrapbook myself. So that is what I did this wonderful Monday! I made a 2-page template for you and even scrapbooked using it!

There are spots for lots of photos or you can use them all or less by adding elements or digital patterned paper. If you want to download you can do so by clicking here or by clicking the preview.

And because I actually got my page done, here's what mine looked like!

Christmas Tags from Santa

2011-12-19T00:09:00.000-07:00

Remember this post from Memory Clips? Well, they also just shared a free Christmas Tag Label. I made some up to use for my Santa Gifts. {shh... don't tell my kids ...} I thought they were really fun. I also printed some other labels that are completely different (but forgot to save to show you) that are from me and their dad. I just printed them on Avery Sticker Paper and it is easy-peasy ... peel and stick onto the gifts! Love it!

Go to Memory Clips to get your own labels.

Our Best Bites

I'm sure most of you are already followers of Our Best Bites. I found out about them last year and then bought myself their cookbook for Mother's Day. {hee hee} I love their recipes and the way they explain how to make them. They make it easy to understand for someone like me who doesn't/hasn't cooked a whole lot or doesn't like to really. I've actually been excited and wanted to try some things because of their cute blog! Here's a link to their Chocolate Fudge.

Kiki Creates

2011-12-14T04:44:00.000-07:00

I stumbled upon this blog from Pinterest. She has a cute hybrid calendar for December that I thought of making. And she has a post on fitness that I think is really great and the tutorial for these Christmas Treat Buckets is so fun! I really love this "I Love You Because" sign she has to share with her kids. She has it for sale. I think it would be fun to buy or make something similar to do with my kids.
