Question for the day:  Should I keep it even if it finally quit working?  This is the calculator I used when we owned the studio.  I pushed those buttons a lot!  The paper roller quit long ago but otherwise was in fine shape.  Do you think my kids may want it as an antique?  My mom threw a lot of stuff away that became antiques.  :-)  My thought is to remove the keys.  You know how valuable old typewriter keys are now.  Maybe I could incorporate them into some of my jewelry making!  Ideas anyone?

Just finished another 20 page book.  Hopefully, I will not get another free offer.  Well, I didn't really mean that!  I just better not keep figuring out how to take up the offer.  This book is of the latest family photos taken in 2012.  Lyle and I will be leaving for the summer and I thought I needed the photos so why not put them in a book?  Enjoy

Ever wonder....
I played some hymns on the piano this morning, and one I have always loved is "Take My Life and Let It Be."  In today's translation "let it be," might mean "leave it alone."  I think the writer should have worked it out to include "Consecrated."

After two days of sending off for photo books, being up one night until 12:30 and the next night until 1:15, I thought I would share the one for myself that I hurriedly did last night.  The reason for the urgency was because of specials.  I made the book for Scott and Elise which is on the entry below on Shutterfly.  I made one for Chris and Lori on Picaboo.  Then I got a one day deal from Picaboo yesterday so I redid Scott and Elise's book to Chris and Lori's.  They are definitely two different websites.  I decided to leave the Shutterfly book on so you can see the differences if you make books yourself.  Each one has its advantages but I think I prefer Shutterfly.  
Anyway........I'll shut up about that.  The book shows photos of our time in Florida with the Huiskens from 2/28 to 3/7.  The Spronks were here 3/10 to 3/18.  We had so much fun, which I hope you will catch by viewing the book.  Enjoy!
The link to "Family Fun in Florida" is:
I also have done some books that I have not shared yet since I have not been blogging for awhile.  I made "Shopping is a Gal Thing" when Elise and Lori came for a shopping weekend to celebrate Elise's upcoming big birthday.  It's link is:
I love the one I made for Jerry and Jean about their dog, Molly.  The link is:
And if you are not bored yet, I wrote a story about cousins after our family was together at Chris and Lori for Christmas and New Year's Day.
Let me know if you looked.  It's great to get comments.  I can still learn.

From man's old shirt to my shirt!


It has been so long since I blogged but I am missing it!  So I am going to try to stick at it for awhile.  I have been busy with family and all sorts of things.  We were all together at Chris and Lori and kids Christmas evening through January 2.  What a lot of fun we had.  Then Lyle and I stayed two more weeks.  Since we got home I have made a few things.  I am going to share one of them with you for starters.  I bought ($2) a man's shirt at a thrift store.  I went through my "stuff" and altered it.  The plaid I used was one of my Dad's shirts.  Let me know what you think.
