A Scrapping we will do....!

We had 70 degree weather, next day it was 12 with a windchill of 0, next day it was 19 with a windchill of 2, then it hit 30 the next and yesterday it was cloudy and rainy, but in the upper 40's, today we have rain and to be near 60, forecast is for 80% rain tomorrow and in mid 60's, but come Saturday, back to 70 again...like "they" say, if you don't like the weather in Texas, wait a day...ROFLMBO!!!! This was coldest spell since the Super Bowl was in town....! I know we did not have it as bad as some of the folks up north or even in the northeast, but.....it was bone chilling here.  Thank goodness I didn't have to get out in it....not with all the flu going around....we have already had 19 deaths from this flu and another very contagious stomach virus is hitting as well.  The hospitals are full and the Emergency Rooms are non stop. The hospitals, churches, schools and businesses are advising folks to stay home and even separate from any family member that might be contagious as families are being admitted to the hospitals together! Some serious flu this year. Hope all of you have or will get your flu shot as it is not only attacking the very young or seniors, it is hitting healthy folks and not discriminating against age, gender or race.

I haven't been feeling the best lately, mostly allergies I think (probably to the cats..lol) but have been hibernating because of that and the nasty weather...so what have I been doing?  Sleeping, reading, watching TV, playing games, reorganizing my closets and my computer and......SCRAPPING! O yes I have! LOL.

My niece, Amy, sent some photos from CHRISTmas of Annabeth and asked for some scrapped pages....so for 3 days now have been doing just that.  I even did a couple pages for her sister-in-law, Kayla and her sister-in-law Margaret. (Kayla and Margaret had their baby boys just 24 hours apart. Those of you on Facebook have probably seen all these, but I want them on my blog to be published again at the end of the year! Here are some of the pages....hopefully I can remember which designers I used (didn't write them down as I was having too much fun), if I forget someone and it is yours, please let me know and I will give you credit. I so appreciate all the wonderful and generous designers that gift us with freebies, making scrapping so much easier and a lot more fun. Thanks to all of you!  Here goes....

Annabeth in a frame from Neli at Lugar Encantado de Neli

I created the background using a freebie embossed overlay by PM, the alpha is called Sugar and Spice by Crazy 4 Monograms the side cluster is from Amanda's kit called Traditions  and the bubbles are from Miriam's Scraps

Amy's in-laws holding her Annabeth and Kayla's Brinson in front of the tree, just had to use both shots as it looks like Annabeth is saying boo and the next shot Brinson is crying....I used the cluster frame freebie # 3  from Cocoa Cuties kit by Sweet Pea Designs.

Annabeth and Daddy CHRISTmas morning....Rudoph was peeking inside, the QP freebie is on of Neli's at Lugar Encantado de Neli

Nana & Grandpa with Annabeth, Brinson and big sister Blair in a Joyous QP by Random Thoughts at Linda's Place.

Annabeth in her little zebra outfit is so cute! I used a freebie starter paper by ct at Cheyokota Digital Scraps using her kit Happy Holidays. The frame is a freebie by Marijja at Fecnikek.

Try visiting some of these sites for awesome freebies.  Okay, that's it for today's post...will post the rest in a day or so, right now, while there is a break in the rain, I need to go to the pet store for kitty food...they are getting restless that they will have nothing for in the morning if I don't go today....and besides I need to check my post office box, I haven't been out of this house since last Saturday.  I also need to stop and check on Jan a minute or two as she has finished her radiation treatments, but has no voice now and we can't talk on the phone.  Will chat more with y'all later.  I have got to check on some missed items when I return...LOL! Love to all of you and remember to keep making all those lovely memories to share! Stay safe, warm and away from the flu! Hugs, Mat
