My Tunes

So music is a big part of my life. Always has been, always will be.
I wear my headphones most of the time and if you ever say anything to indicate I’m being rude, I’ll tell you very matter-of-factly that I can hear everything you say. I keep the volume down. The music isn't there to cover anything up, it’s background music. It enhances my mood, punctuating the high points, and filling in the empty spots.
It’s the soundtrack of my life, I've always liked it that way.

This was a page I did prompted by a challenge Susan posted on Scrapbooking Swede.....Thanks for the challenge Susan!

more photos

I really overexposed this photo of Carson.

WHY??

Does this photo

best represent our family?

1. A little rough around the edges
2. not quite in focus at all times
3. and lastley .... we're not perfect!..... So why should this photo be?
4. In my opinion a true representaion of what .......a/our family is.

Hi Mom!

Just a page I did showing Carson being himself...TROUBLE! He had our playing cards thrown all over the floor..... I was wondering why he was sooooo quiet....that stinker!

The view from my window, gingerbread cookies and over exposed :)

I love my Window view! It was especially cold today....brrrrrr.

Hutch waiting for me to take out the gingerbread cookies I made tonight!

I wish I had better exposed this photo another one of my Carson fav's

Farflung Frou Frou :)

Got a message from Kristy at Farflung :)

~ I sent off goody bags to everyone last week with some new fabric and a few fabric flowers. Also is just a little silly note pad I picked up and thought of all of you.I am about 99% done with the outline and when it is done I will send it to all of you. I am hoping you will all be willing to assist me with layouts and projects for the book!

Peace and happy holidays. Kristy ~

How cool!

I can't wait :)

Snapshotz

Some photos from when Mike, Mel and the gang visited.

I'm in love with this photo of Carson looking at Ashley...I can't stop looking at it. This one is getting put up my wall :)

Snow Day...part 2!!

We bought Carson a new sled today! So we had to try it out and he ended up falling asleep halway through our walk :) Hutch was a great "musher" he must be part husky.

Card - wintery

Are we there yet? - Layout

It was 9:00am when a brilliant idea sprung to my mind ..... Why not go and visit Oma for the day?

Old bowls - Layout

As we watched you play in Grama’s plasticware cupboard. I had to laugh

when Brodie was reminiscing about the time he, and the rest of the kosoblair gang would use

that silver bowl as a sled ……. in the snow! That “silver rocket” is dented and bumped up with love.

They sure put a lot of miles on that bowl, miles that can be remembered whenever they look at it.

*** oh boy this is one crooked scan! LOL ***

waiting on the world to change

Waiting On The World To Change, Those in this generation are fighting for a voice...that is why I love this song by John Mayer

me and all my friends
we're all misunderstood
they say we stand for nothing and
there's no way we ever could
now we see everything that's going wrong
with the world and those who lead it
we just feel like we don't have the means
to rise above and beat it

so we keep waiting waiting
on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting
on the world to change

it's hard to beat the system
when we're standing at a distance
so we keep waiting waiting
on the world to change
now if we had the power
to bring our neighbors home from war
they would have never missed a Christmas
no more ribbons on their door
and when you trust your television
what you get is what you got
cause when they own the information, oh
they can bend it all they want

that's why we're waiting waiting
on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting
on the world to change

it's not that we don't care,
we just know that the fight ain't fair
so we keep on waiting waiting

on the world to change
and we're still waiting
waiting on the world to change
we keep on waiting waiting
on the world to change

one day our generation is gonna rule the population

so we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change we keep on waiting waiting on the world to change.

Some Cards :)

Just finally getting some cards posted :)
