The Eyes of a Child

Morning all! I got a nice surprise yesterday! Penny finally sent me some updated photos of Miss Hayden! She surely has grown and has gotten even prettier despite looking like her daddy...LOL! Anyhow, took time out to do this page really quick last evening, thought I'd share it~she has piercing brown eyes, so cut this one down for this page~Enjoy! Back to making my Christmas goodies for friends and neighbors as some of them will be leaving for the holidays this weekend. Hope you all stay dry and WARM and are so very busy making memories to share! Chat again soon! Luv y'all! MatThe BG and frames are from DS Charming Xmas kit, the other elements are from various artists in this years Aussie Sleigh Ride Blog Train and still others and the wordart are by me!

Good Sunday Morning!

We have SUNSHINE again...yipee!! With the weather so frightful in so many places, guess we should not complain here with our recent cold snap, but 30+ degree drop in just a couple hours with lots of wind is NOT normal for Texas this time of year. Takes a toll on the old body too, so am happy (as are my aching joints) that the sun has chosen to shine today. Temps should rise as rapidly as they fell a couple days ago too! The "girls" will be happy to be allowed a few minutes outside too, to investigate all my dead plants that got frozen despite covering them up. Anyhow, guess I will get up from this computer and go out to enjoy it with a fresh cup of coffee. Before I go, will leave a couple of new pages I made of Jade and Ruby with some of the new photos I got off Christina's facebook. Enjoy the autumn or fall backgrounds I used from last years Fall Splendor Blog Train. Thanx Linda for the wonderful Wordart you give so freely! Y'all continue making great memories to share and those of you that are experiencing sub zero weather, hope you are staying warm. Luv y'all! Mat

Wow is it cold here today!

I know, we don't really have it bad....but it is too cold to be outside today. It's noon and the windchill is still at 10 degrees. No snow, but so much WIND! Bone chilling to us, so staying inside, fire going and scrapping, scrapping, scrapping! They are doing a challenge on SBF for grandmother's so, I've put together this page of my mother "gazing from heaven" at her grown grandchildren and even some of her great grandchildren that she never got to see. The kit is called Blue Castello, but has no TOU so not sure who did it! Anyhow, back to the fireplace, hope you and yours are staying warm and cozy and out of this miserable weather. Will chat later y'all! Luv, Mat

I got new photos of Jade & Ruby!

Got new photos I pinched from Facebook of Jade & Ruby so had to make these 2 pages. It is surely cold here, been in front of the fireplace for 2 days now and it is supposed to start that cold rain tonight, We had sleet just a couple miles west of here today. I got my running around done today, but have a manicure and pedicure due tomorrow. Got my haircut and new glasses should be in tomorrow or next day! Good thing too, because my left lens fell out tonight, could not see to fix them or to drive to get them fixed. Sure was a mess there for awhile. Anyhow, settled back down now, dinner is over, dishes are done and the girls are fighting for time with me at the computer. Thought I'd upload these 2 pages then back to the fire. I guess I have been spending too much time here as my shoulder is aching a bit! Hope y'all have a great week and stay warm!Thanx for looking at my growing great nieces! Later y'all! Luv, MatJade is riding a stone donkey and having a blast, the wordart from Linda fits this just perfectly! The kit is some of cuddlebeez 30 day freebies as is the kit for Ruby and the wordart is by Miss Scarlett. Thanx ladies for all the freebies that make my pages so lovely and sooooooo much easier to make.

Santa Baby

Miss Scarlett sure hit the nail on the head with her Santa Baby wordart. I had the perfect photo of my N-I-L Tiffany to go with it, so scrounged and opened CJS Xmas kit from last year and this is what I put together. Thought the photo with the sultry, sexy look so appropriate. She is such a beauty, as sweet inside as she is lovely outside! Enjoy! Sure is cold here, supposed to snow again tomorrow...staying warm by the fire and the "girls" are terrific heating blankets too! Later y'all! Luv, Mat

What is this white stuff?

We awoke to wet falling snow this morning, I took the girls out so they could see what it was. MzKitty and Oreo are 5, Pumpkin is 4...they have never seen or been in snow before...LOL! It was hysterically funny. MzKitty would not come beyond the stoop of the door (under the overhang), Pumpkin ran out into in having a blast, Oreo crept along beside the house under the eaves, but would not get into the snow. When the flakes hit her back, she shot back into the house! I laughed until I hurt! I made the background of the geranium and Pumpkin, then a small photo of each one just so y'all could see. The snow is already coming to an end, so we are just getting a good dusting now, but supposedly more by Friday! We so seldom see snow down here that everyone was out taking photos like I was...LMAO! Have a terrific day and will chat with y'all later! Luv, Mat
