Casita Baby is off on its maiden voyage. Pulled her out of the barn Tuesday with Daddys red Tacoma pickup. we traveled as far as Cameron. Mama got in it today so she could take a good look. Ebby and Porter came to our "open house." The trip will actually begin on Thursday morning on my way to the Texas Bluebonnet Casita Rally in Bandera. I am hoping to learn all the little tricks and modifications that others have done to make life easy when traveling. Doubt I will do any modifications since she is so new. I did mount a hook for my keys on the inside of the door. Now to name her. Edwina of Yellowstone was so perfect for Egg #1 and I think this one should just carry on the name. Paulette will be joining me on Friday evening. Maybe between the two of us, we can remember all the things we will learn.
Enjoying the view as I go down the road. Mary Alice

Home and Hope




Two more pages for my challenge. I am almost caught up with the group. Home and Hope are the latest. The photo on the page of Home is the dining room table, set for Sunday lunch at the Big House ~ Mama and Papa Duncum set a good table when John and I were children.

2010 Scripture Challenge




Though I started late, I thought I might be up to the challenge. So far I have done a few of the pages. I chose to use a 7x5 paper album using some of the predesigned pages adapted and my own designs. I am using Creative Memories Storybook Creator 3.0. I have used Creative Memories digital paper and embellishments so could be duplicated traditionally. Photographs used will include my family through the years. My scriptures will come from New King James, New International and Messages versions of the Bible. Enjoy, join me, comment or whatever makes you happy.

Monday Madness

This has been a day full of changes. Sunshine, hail, rain, wind and calm. So glad I got out while the sun was shining. Michelle, a down-line in Creative Memories had a couple of her friends out in the studio saving memories in albums and making cards. I did some running around town taking care of business and visiting school friends. Hopefully what I have done to get my taxes information will be sufficient for my accountant. Can't finish Mothers until next week. I hate this time of year but must get it done before I can leave town for any reason. Since retirement, doubt anyone withheld enough that I will get anything back ~ just brace myself for paying in around the 15 th of April.
I took a challenge this afternoon with a sketch on a website for creating cards. I used the sketch and created a digital card which I will print on a card. Who knows, I make actually create the same thing using the identical paper and a real ribbon. Enjoy!
Mrs. Turlington brought me the cards the children wrote in to send the USA Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have a few address of Nicks friends that I can send to.
Must get busy and make a few little boy cards before going to Texas Children's NICU on Wednesday.
Stumbling along having fun.
