Happy Birthday Bert!

Silly pose for the camera in the kitchen

Difficult to find words. Missing you very much.

Goofing around for the camera as usual!

I only had one brother and you were the best brother. I don’t know how you lived with all the girls in our family. You rose to the challenge and you added the necessary element that completed our family.

Picking me up from College with mum. Giving me one of those juicy kisses. Yuck!

You were an amazing son and father and your girls are now grown young ladies. Your even a grandfather. Go figure!

You and I at Beth’s wedding.

I miss hearing your voice and talking about everything. You always were filled with facts like mum. I really miss hearing you make music. You were a true musician.  I hope you are making beautiful music up there. I miss you terribly and you will never be forgotten.

Always the musician

Happy Birthday brother.

Love you,

Belinda

Project Life – Week 27

July 11, 2012 by 2 Comments

 

Week 27

 

This is my first week that I completed immediately after the week concluded.  Rather than beat myself up, I am going to celebrate. I didn’t let myself get caught up in thinking it must be pretty and fuss over the look. I simply selected my photos, printed them then made my own journaling cards (I had to do a little something) and then stuck them in the album.  So it is doable if I let go. Something I have a hard time doing.

Week 27 – page one

This week was a fun week with family celebrating the 4th of July.  Lot’s of fun being together, playing games and sharing stories. I love that the boys will have these memories to bring forth in their lives.

What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday – #162

July 11, 2012 by 7 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Swish!! That’s how it feels when I think of how fast a week goes by.  I have to first say, I felt so much love from all the comments I received last week. I know we all live so far apart but our weekly visits are warm and wonderful.  Thank you for embracing me into your circle of friendship.

I am happy to report that my cold is nearing an end. I only have a cough that comes and goes but all the rest gone. So hate getting colds in the summer. Truly not fun.

My journaling cards for Project Life

Enough whining I thought I would share an on-going project I work on. I should say on-again off-again project. It’s my Project Life. I completed last week’s layout (never happened before). I take the pictures and even write some journaling but never make it happen.  Pathetic!! So I am proud to share this week’s layout.

The first picture of my desk shows me making my own journaling cards. I used the blank gridline cards from Project Life and used Jenni Bowlin ink and some old stamps to make July 4th themed cards.  On the left side of the desk you can see my new Smash album goodies. I still haven’t done much with mine but (shhh) enjoy buying all the goodies that go with it.

Embellished Journaling Cards

I used some Thicker stickers and inked them to match to add the 27 for Week 27. I used my scallop punch to add more interest to the cards.  I found some more stamps along the way to make more journaling cards.  The great thing was I found these old stamps in my stash that I got on clearance at Michael’s a few years ago and never used. So it makes me super happy to use them.

Week 27 Project Life

So here is my final layout with the photos and journaling cards. Yeah!! I actually completed one on time! I had a great 4th of July with my family and despite my best efforts to eat healthy, I did put down some dessert. (A girl must eat!)

Well I better get going so that I can start spanning the globe looking at other desks. If you haven’t learned about this amazing creative journey you can take every Wednesday, then head on over to Julia’s Stamping Ground and you will find desks from all around the world for What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday.

Have a blessed day!

Belinda
