Happy Halloween !!!!!

Josie Reinhard far right sitting down3

This is one of my grandmothers photos I treasure most!    She is the one sitting far right with her hand on the floor, the one in the middle in the light colored dress, looking straight ahead is her sister Jessie Reinhard and the one second from the left in the back is their other sister Mamie Reinhard.   I assume a bunch of friends from school are the rest of these lovely gals.  I love the dark pumpkins, wouldn’t you love to see this photo in color??????

October Afternoon Nirvana !!!!!

My sweet, sweet friend Tammy in Minneapolis was kind enough to go to the OA Warehouse Sale and shop for me while she was there shopping for herself too.   I am just amazed at the amount of stuff she got, and it was pennies on the dollar for some of it!  Next year, I want to go with her and Deb fro sure!

Take a look….

I am going to try my hand at starting a December Daily book, and Tammy picked me up a bunch of the Make It Merry line…how perfect!

Learning a new craft…

 

Well, I think I am safe to start blogging a little more…it feels right. :)

I want to tell you about a new project I started years ago and was too intimidated to proceed  with.  It is digital scrapbooking using Photo Shop Elements.  I recently had to buy a new program ( long story) so I now have PSE 10.  I found a wonderful site with GREAT videos and I am taking this step by step.  :)

 Learn Photo Editing at NAODS.com

I have learned that I have a  response to new adventures that is not so great…if I don’t think I could do it perfectly, I avoid it at all costs, but then beat myself up because I don’t try…pretty stupid!  So in essence, this learning digital scrapbooking is part of my therapy…

 

I want to share with you a wonderful graphic artist that is at Sweet Shoppe Digital Scrapbooking…her name is Juliana Kneipp….here are some of her beautiful kits…
