So what have I been up to over the past while? I have been spending much of my ‘free’ time allowing my creative juices (didn’t know I even had any) to flow…I have been designing some 12×12 Digital Scrapbooking pages and having so much fun! Here are a few sample pages that I have completed. I am going to frame them for little gifts for my grandchildren. Oooh, I nearly forgot to mention I heard about this really great online store to buy quality frames at an affordable price give them a try, you will find them on ebay they are the frame guys - Email me if you are interested in REALLY Easy Digital Scrapbooking, I would love to help you!

While listening to the radio the other day I found myself listening to Jan D’Atri ,a local Arizona TV and radio personality and author.

I was very impressed by her discussion about the value of family and some of the simple things in families that connect us. The focus of her discussion was the joy of cooking within a family and the memories many women have of spending wonderful times, while they were young, cooking with their mothers and grandmothers.

Jan went on to encourage women to gather their precious family recipes along with the precious memories and commit them to paper. She has herself published a cookbook of memorable family recipes.

She also shares some wonderful stories of her own mother and the relationships that have become such a treasure over the years. A great reminder of what is most important in this life – family.

For a heart touching story check out this blog post by Jan’s mother.

Jan’s website has some great recipes you might want to try!

Here is one of my favorites.

Wedding Canvas

I had so much fun laying out this poster for my son Clint and his bride Ambrie. It is a 16×20 Canvas poster. Heritage Makers include Gallery Wrapping for all Canvas posters. I can’t wait to hear what the kids say when they get this to hang on a wall in their new home. The art is from ScrapGirls and it is their French Market Collection. I contemplated doing a smaller ribbon on the layout, but have decided that the large ribbon makes a statement and gives great color to the frame

The Story of an American Hero

2008-12-12_2207

Early on the morning of Dec. 8, 1941, nine Japanese fighter planes swooped down on Malalag Bay in the Philippines and strafed and sunk two U.S. Navy seaplanes at the very outset of World War II.  All of the Americans escaped unharmed except Ensign Robert G. Tills, 23, of Manitowoc, Wisconsin, who was cut down by machine gun bullets. “Ensign Robert Tills died in the fusillade of bullets from the Japanese strafers, the first American naval officer killed in the defense of the Philippines,” the Naval Historical Center wrote.

Remembering Our Troops this Christmas

Last Saturday while watching the Mike Huckabee Show on Fox News, Mike Huckabee’s wife did a short segment on sending Christmas Cards to the men and woman in the Armed Services.  The Red Cross would like to send out 1 million cards to our troops this Christmas, so I decided that I would send 100 Christmas cards to the troops who are protecting us overseas. Many Service Members don’t get anything from home at all, I found that so sad. The website Mrs. Huckabee promoted was The American Red Cross Holiday Mail  – please remember that your cards must be postmarked by December 10th or they will be returned to you. Checkout the website and read up about the other rules for sending Christmas cards to the troops this year. This is one of the cards I am sending out, I found the design in our Template Gallery and it took me a minute to drop a photo in and add a few Christmas wishes, a small price to pay for the freedom they make possible for all of us. Send one card; it will make all the difference.

Recently, our grandchildren moved out of state and I miss them so much. It gives ume comfort that I have made books for them and they have them available to read at anytime. Their storybooks convey a message of love and significance despite the distance between us. They know I made the books because they are such a significant part of our life and our family. They know I treasure the books I made because the books are about them.

I miss my grandchildren and will have 2 new books done by Christmas. What a wonderful gift to give at Christmas time!

I look forward to seeing all my grandchildren over the Holdiday season.

As we approach the Holiday Season, regardless of your belief, this is a time for family; or it certainly should be. 

As we get closer to the Holiday season our lives become filled with the trivial logistics of the season – shopping, parties and travel plans.

I wanted to do something different this year and not become bogged down on the trivial stuff and rather spend some time thinking about something so much more important.

We have young Americans away from home and in harm’s way. They are defending this country from our enemies and helping to create an opportunity of freedom for others. While doing the ugly work of overcoming those that seek to destroy they are building into the lives of young Iraqi and Afghan children a hope that their future will be better than their past. Bringing the hope of freedom that will bring the opportunity to take their lives in their own hands and fill it with joy rather than fear.

One can only imagine what it must be like to be a parent of a young child in Iraq and to look at that child knowing that this child may have a better life than they did. The truth being that their child’s freedom came at the sacrifice of the young men and women of the US military.

As I reflected on their great sacrifice I thought of those young men and women who paid the ulitimate sacrifice and their families who will spend a Holiday Season with an empty chair at the family dinner table.

So to make sure I don’t forget who they are this Christmas season I will profile some of the bravest of Americans, who have given their lives in the service of this country and in the service of freedom – freedom for us and freedom for strangers in foreign lands.

Here is one such hero: Holly McGeogh

Thank you Holly for the goodness of your heart. You deserve to be remembered and one more person knows your name.

As a mother who has experienced the loss of a child (Click for my own story); I know that the loss of a child is a life long journey.

Heritage Makers storybooks are an amazing way to transform a time of sadness and loss into a journey of comfort, joy and gratitude.

 Here is one mothers story.

 

I remember when our other four children were growing up we would fill balloons with helium and attach little notes to the balloons and each year on our little Clark’s birthday we would send them heavenward to let him know we were thinking about him. I know we did it mostly because we wanted our children to know they had a brother who was our first born and we wanted to make sure he would never be forgotten.  I came across an old proverb a while back that says it all…”You live as long as you are remembered”. It is wonderful to know that because of Heritage Makers these precious little lives will always be remembered and live on…WOW!
