2011 Memories

 

2011 Memories include my son piping (and piping at Convocation at SFU), my daughters dancing, my brother's wedding, my cousin's new baby, time with family including my Gram (who turned 95 in June), our trips to Disney World and Disneyland, two half marathons....

Another Great-Gramma with her Great-Grandkids

My grandmother passed away today (my dad's mom).  She was 89.  Here are some photos of her with her great-grandchildren.

A baby shower

Today I attended my cousin's baby shower.  Her daughter was born 7 weeks early and the kids and I made her a quilt, and as we quilted we prayed for her health.  In August, I posted a page for my Gram after her arrival.  The construction of the quilt is archieved on my sewing blog.  

Thankfully, this little girl is strong (probably like her Great-Grandmother) and has been home for 3 weeks now.  My kids made the gift, which my cousin opened and loved... Unfortunately I had to leave early so I couldn't stay for all the gifts, but reports are she brought it (and the card I made) out later to show off when opening the other gifts.  It was a hit.  

The card was printed two up onto letter sized paper then cut out and placed onto a piece of burgundy card stock that matched the dark flowers on these pages.

And my most recent page, created for my Grandmother.  Today she met her forth great-grandchild... her third great-granddaughter.  We are so blessed for my Grandmother's health and vitality at 95!

Canvas Review....

Canvas Dezign sent me this canvas to review their product... and I just noticed this post did not get posted....  Oops...  Sorry...  I also got a code with it, just wonder where it went when I cleaned up for Christmas!

Product: A 16" Square Canvas

Review:  Very professional to deal with.  They were able to ship to Canada quickly and it arrived within a reasonable frame considering the shipping...

I gave this to my mom for her Birthday and it was a huge hit... My 95yo Grandmother with her 3 great-grandchildren!

A preview...

I will be reviewing scrapbooking software soon.... with a giveaway....

This page is about Memories. The memories of my great uncle picking apples! Sure wish we had a photo of him in the apple tree!

My Piper....

A great season of band is now over... my son's band placed 3rd overall in Grade 4 pipe bands in the BC/Pacific Northwest Area....

A quick page for my Grandmother -- the arrival of her 4th Great Grandchild!

I did the page up for my Gramma.  These photos were fairly low quality, and so I'm not sure how it'll print.  I haven't been in to see my cousin's new baby who was born at 32 weeks.  These are just the photos the proud granddad, taken on his iPhone....

My Grandmother is now the great-grandmother to 1 great grandson, and 3 great grand-daughters. In the past year she has been to both my cousin's and brother's wedding, and she is so proud of all her family. In June we celebrated her 95th birthday!

not Digitally Scrapbooking... but...

I haven't been doing much digital scrapbooking - too busy.... But my kids have gotten into paper scrapbooking... Yesterday morning we needed a quick birthday gift for my dad and a small gift for my Aunt and Uncle who were in town... So I printed out some photos from my brother's wedding... and grabbed 2 of the leftover photos from Christmas... And this is what we came up with in under 1/2 an hour.
