I was saddened to read the news this morning of the passing of President Gordon B. Hinckley. What a great example he was to our family and to the whole world! Kelly and I both commented on how we felt like he was saying goodbye in last October’s conference talk. I guess [...]

This week I got the brilliant idea to do layouts with the Christmas cards I’ve made. (Last year’s card was staring at me while I was lifting my weights. I also needed to clean off the shelves above my desk and that’s where it was sitting.) I found cards, pictures, and new [...]

We have not posted on this event in a long time.  We still do Friday night movies.  The choices are getting slim since we’ve been doing it for years now.  Last night we rented Mr. Bean’s Holiday.  Megan has been wanting to see this one so we got it.  Let me just say Mr. Bean [...]

I’ve been working on a layout all day. I don’t know how many interruptions I had, too many to keep track. I tried to get Kade busy with his own scissors, paper, markers, and glue stick but he’s different from the girls. He only lasted about 10 minutes and didn’t like the [...]

Here are the two layouts I worked on this week. I said I would post the good ones but I don’t think these rank as good. Right now I’m in the “just get it done” mode. I’m just happy to have two done and hopefully this will get my creative juices flowing [...]
