Changes - We've got This!

 

A few of the changes I made due to Covid - ordering groceries on line,

curbside library books, and a new streaming service.

For my Covid19/2020 Traveler's Notebook.

A Winning Window

 

My granddaughter's "window treatment" that became a big winner!

Crossing the Bridge

My granddaughter's first bridging ceremony.

 

Winter Fun 2015

 

For my granddaughter's album, the first winter in Kodiak.

Create and Craft (The Ongoing Story)

 

A bit of the story of how I discovered my "creative" side,

and some pictures of things I've made.

Livin' the Dream

 

The ScrapHappy LOAD prompt today was 

What work allows you to pursue your dream?

As a travel lover, one of my dreams was to see more of Alaska.

My job as a statewide teacher mentor for two years gave me that!

You Are Amazing, Sweet girl

 

Pocket page for my granddaughter's album - a few events from the first half of 2014.

"Double-Up Day"

 

These two layouts are duplicates of previously finished pages. I need one for each of my kids (page on the left) and one for each of two grandkids (page below). I usually change them up a bit, mostly because I don't always have the same materials available, but also to make it more fun for me!

Beautiful Gifts

My daughter has a knack for giving perfect gifts, such as the ones pictured here:

a painting she painted, the chocolate-covered strawberries I get every Mother's 

Day, and lots of blue and white tea pots. 

Layout inspired by a prompt from ScrapHappy's LOAD 5/21.

Materials from Bo Bunny's Boulevard collection.

 

Tuba City Boarding School

This is a page for the album of my life "BC" - Before Children.

I'm making one for each of my kids.

This layout documents the two years we spent in Tuba City, Arizona

 

We're Here!

 

My daughter and family are Coast Guard, so they get transferred around every few years.

Lucky for all of us (especially me) they got stationed here in Kodiak for two years.

This page documents their arrival on the ferry from the mainland after driving 

from Florida with their camper. They were only here for two years, but it was 

two wonderful years for this grandma!

Still Laughing

 

Another two pages for my Covid-19/2020 Traveler's Notebook.

I did an earlier spread with some of my favorite pandemic memes, 

and I thought I'd add some more. There is, after all, a never-ending supply!

All materials from Simple Stories Quarantined collection.

March

The March on Washington in October of 1967.

 

Learning in 2020

Two more pages for my Covid/2020 Traveler's Notebook.

The ScrapHappy LOAD prompt was about learning.

All materials from Simple Stories' Quarantined collection.

 

Gather

 Thanksgiving 2014

A special Thanksgiving since my daughter and family, who are Coast Guard, 

were stationed here and we got to have holidays with them for two years.

This page is for my granddaughter's album.

Down a Road and Back Again

Documenting a road trip taken with one of my best friends in 2016. 

Inspired by ScrapHappy's Layout a Day (LOAD) challenge, Live Golden,

all about the Golden Girls, the title is a line from the show's theme song.

Also used ScrapHappy's April sketch. 

Most of the materials are from Keep It Simple's Hello Adventure collection.
