Really... I'm trying HERE :)

2011-09-21T20:39:00.000-05:00

Hey There, Yes I am trying to get back in the swing of things here. I just haven't gotten that far YET...LOL...LOL...LOL... I have managed to create the "Twins Connection" Blog Background and Header and they are in place . They wanted a "School Theme" and Cheyenne was REALLY bent on the " Are you SMARTER than a 5th Grader " , So I had a bit of a challenge there ,but it worked out great :) Then thats where the Page Brainstorming started...lol...lol...lol...lol... that by the way was all me . I have no idea why I wanted to even go there with that idea , and @ that how I was even going to achieve anything with it . I just started with the idea and while i would work on a page ... I would start thinking of "another" page idea ... right in the middle of working on one that was no where near the finished stage . I stopped jotted down a few notes and then started back on my way with the Page that needed finished . Now that being said..... I have STOPPED AND JOTTED AND RE JOTTED NOTES SEVERAL TIMES throu out "Each" Page that has been made !! Then there were the few areas where there were "touch ups' needed !!! :) OK !!! , So now I am here at my blog that needs tending to and while I was here I had promised that I would "Post" and at least let everyone know what I was doing. By the way I am in the "Middle" of another page idea , and I have no idea where this is coming from.....lol...lol...lol...lol......I'm on a roll and I guess when I stop I stop !! I just need to get a few page Ideas for here that "Work" for me. I know that after I get over this thing with the Twins and get to a little bit of an end with the idea's that we have for them , Then my blog will get the attention that it needs and maybe more... :) We Will See !:O) Well, Thats enough from me, Hugs, Love4Scrap , (Daneta)

IN -MEMORY OF GENELLE DRIVER

2011-09-18T13:49:00.004-05:00

Today a Candle is lite in Memory of My Husband's Grandmother "Genelle Driver" . She passed this last Friday and the Funeral is Today ! My Daughter and I who have been working on different Blog Pages decided that there needed to be a Candle lite here. The Blog design has NOTHING to do with the Candle,as The Candle is MORE IMPORTANT than anything else here. If you "Click" the Candle you will be taken to Her Page. God Bless Genelle. She is one of the nicest people I know. I did not say "Was",because I know that someday ,I will get the pleasure of seeing her AGAIN. She loved EVERYONE that she met and she NEVER really met a "stranger" I met her some 20 years ago , right before I married her Grandson Richard. Then I was lucky enough to see her as I was pregnant with Our Older Daughter,and Our Son was crawling around everywhere.

My Husband and I had to go down past East Texas a few years ago and Genelle got to see the Twins for the 1st time. My Husband and I had a great time seeing her and she couldn't get over 'Her Little Rickey"...lol...lol...lol... having Twins. They didn't want to leave and niether did we. Genelle always made it "Home" and it was such a blessing to get to see her.

Now we may not get to see her here,but I know that there will be the Day that we get to see her again,so there are NO GOODBYE'S just "UNTIL NEXT TIME" We Love You and Will Greatly Miss You Genelle, God Bless the Entire Driver Family ! You all are in Our Thoughts and Prayers.
Hugs,
Daneta and Richard Driver

HAPPY THANKSGING :o)

2010-11-25T08:00:00.001-06:00

Good Morning Everyone !

I hope that your Thanksgiving Day started out right. Here We are just about ready to leave to go to My Parents house for the day. We usually go there every year and this year we are just going a little earlier to help mom out with the crowd before the dinner actually starts.

This year there is going to be my family,my sisters family and 2 of my brothers and their families,and of course my parents. There is @ this point 26 people to be there this year,and Dad is more than thrilled because more than 1/2 are Grandchildren,and HE LOVES THAT !!!!!

We were wishing that the weather would be warmer,so that the kids stay outside more while we get the cooking and all done,but it says that its going to be 44.... Yikes !!! My parents house is big enough for the family,but 17 children under foot while your cooking is NOT COOL !!!

There is so much that we have to be thankful for like Our children,love,life,friends. I for one am extremely grateful that I have my children,husband and my parents. I have a Grandmother still alive and several aunts and uncles and all of my 7 other siblings all still here.

There are so many people that have a much harder Thanksgiving with the distance and or loss of a loved one for that matter and it being the FIRST HOLIDAY without them. My family is expecting the very same loss and pain with the death of my Uncle Billy a few days ago,and he was laid to rest yesterday. My Father is having a harder time with it,because it was his ONLY BROTHER ,and they are so many miles apart.

Today, when you get to wherever you are going and you walk thru those doors,do one thing FIRST.... Hug the people you see and tell them how you feel. I have heard that saying over and over all my life and it really does come to play when you are faced with " hey that could have been dad" instead of Uncle Billy.

I Thank the lord that I have my parents and siblings and my own family still here with me and can not even imagine what Dad is going thru knowing that there was so much distance (miles) between them,and they could not see each other more.

When I get there I am going straight to the shop and hug my daddy and tell him that I love him. I then will go straight to my mom who is my solid rock base and give her an even bigger hug.

To all my family, and friends I hope that you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving and that you get stuffed with what we like to call " Mommas Home Cooking". We plan to get stuffed and then do some of my favorite things to do @ Mom's and that's watch the Football Game and eat the best desserts around made only by my mom. All while we visit and go over our own game strategies for the Black Friday Sale.... YES WE ARE GOING :o)

Well We are off and ready to leave ,so I will post when we get back if I can. I think more into Saturday before I post though.

God Bless you all and remember to have a safe and happy holiday !!!!!

Hugs,
Daneta

PUPPIES ARE HERE :o)

2010-11-19T00:00:00.002-06:00

Good Morning :O)
I have just a quick post because I have to get off here,but I just recieved an email from my children on the reminder to post about the "Puppies",so here is a post...lol...lol...lol...

I just forgot to mention it in other post,and then the kids asked if they could post about it and when I said yes , I had forgotten that I promised that I would post here to. They were born Monday the 15th !!

Well, anyway there are 5 little girls and they are very tiny. Their Morkies,and are black and brown ,and 1 has a "white" vest as we say !!!!

I will have mys help with pictures, I just wanted to post here about them ,because I promised the girls I would.

Hugs,
Daneta

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL !!!

2010-11-18T00:20:00.006-06:00

Hello,

I just wanted to post a few pictures that were taken of my mother yesterday,after she walked in on the cake that we got her as a SURPRIZE !!!

My daughter is posting on the "Family" blog ,but I wanted to get it here for those of you that don't go there.....

There are 3 posted here and they are in NO ORDER,so I have NO IDEA which is showing first and etc...with that said they are her birthday cake,her and the cake together and then a "Rose" that was made from putty by my son while we were @ mom's.

The cake says " HAPPY 54TH BIRTHDAY NANA",and there are 26 "roses" for the # of Grandchildren that Mom has. The pink and yellow colors were chosen by my son and there is a pixie dust shimmer added to the ENTIRE cake. JUST BEAUTIFUL !!!! The pictures do no justice,but are not half bad knowing that they are from the Cell Phone Camera :O)

I hope that you all enjoy these and that your day proves to be as warm as the smile on my mothers face.

I have to get off here and get to bed,the day starts early and the nights are getting shorter for me and that means zzzzzzzzz time NOW or else.

My post editor is not working right,but I think that you will @ least get the story !!! Sorry for the messy look if it doesn't look right. We'll see :O)

Love,

Daneta

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM :o)

2010-11-17T00:00:00.000-06:00

Good Morning,
I haven't been on here to post anything lately,because I have been busy and then trying to get the blog page to work for me the way that I want it to, it just hasn't worked getting the time to set and type away like I would have liked too.

Anyway, I wanted to make sure that I got on here and told my mom "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" I have several things that I have to get done today and wouldn't get a chance to get on here,so I thought I would start here as early as I could.

Mom we wish you the BEST AND HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY EVER !!! May All your dreams come true. We love you and hope that this brightens your day with just a little more SUNSHINE :o)

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM"
LOVE ,
Daneta and Richard

Monday

2010-04-05T13:21:00.000-05:00

Good Afternoon !!! just thought that I would get on here while I could W/O anyone under my feet. We made it thru Easter lol..lol...lol... It was a VERY GOOD EASTER!!

The kids hunted eggs without any majors and there was NO FOOD left from cooking out.... The beautiful day allowed us to visit on the patio as we watched the kids blow bubbles,play games and eat thier candy. Oh yes and the water gun fight... heehehee:O)

Everyone was gone by 3pm,except for my family. I stayed to help with the clean up and visit mother while Richard was sleeping (had to work last night),and Braceyon was still @ work,so I needed to stay in til after he got off. It was a PERFECT TIME to visit mom. Walking the yard and watching the Twins play in the sand. Thier bath water was BLACK last night !!!!

They were really good and created thier own playtime... I know that kids can be creative and play with nothing but a box and be happy,because thier imagination is what TAKES them to the adventure,last night was a prime example of that... some call it a "Country Kids" life...

They took a bag of sand that my father had gotten... I believe that it was the bag that was in the back of the truck to help way down the truck bed... Well, my DD decided that they were going to make THEIR OWN "Sand Box",by dumping the sand in a BIG HOLE that had been created by our trucks from the snow and muddy mess... Thats what you get from having a DIRT DRIVEWAY....Living in the Country !~ :O)

Anyway they filled that hole and found a bucket and a little shovel and played for hours...Any other time they probably would have been running in and out of the house and right under our feet.

I hope that you all had a good Easter and that the work week started off well. I have to run and get a few other things done before the angels get home and the sibling fights start. I will post here on Wed,until then HAVE A GREAT ONE AND GOD BLESS :o)

Happy Easter...... "EARLY"

2010-04-03T01:08:00.000-05:00

Good Morning :O).... Early here Way Early, but I was up and thought that I better get on here and post ,because I have NO IDEA if I will get to Sunday.....

We are going to mother's and as We usually are... busy and A FULL HOUSE that day. The kids are excitred and I think mother is about to burst at the seams:O)... She LOVES every minute that she can get with her Grandkids and when We all can get together and bring them in, is right up her alley. I think @ this point there are just going to be 12 of the 25 Grandkids that my parents have,but trust me thats STILL A HANDFUL !!!

We all bring colored eggs as well,as plastic "Prize" eggs for each one of our kids , so there are usally ALOT of eggs ... I don't think that the Easter Bunny makes as many as We as a Family do...lol...lol... Mother decided along time ago ,that since there were so many Grandkids and it was hard to try to make ENOUGH for ALL her babies ,That each one of Us (PARENTS) would need to make sure that there was @ least a dozen eggs per child.... That means that for me there were 48 eggs to Color .YIKES!!! This Year however I get out with just coloring 24,Thats because my older 2 are not just TOO BIG for the EASTER BUNNY,but because they have other plans...WORK!!!

We have 42 eggs FILLED for prize eggs ALREADY,Later Tonight We will color the 24 and then Mother is filling ?? amout of the 70 plastic eggs that Richard and Braceyon took to her last night.

My Mother thinks that the Kids are NEVER to old and would prefer that they ALL HUNTED EGGS. The Twins are to old,but Mother see's them STILL AS HER BABIES !! so there was No telling Mom that they weren't hunting eggs. They weren't alone in that one either,a few other Nieces and a Nephew are hunting to because of Mom...

They are all growing up to fast !!!! All of the Grandkids are TEENAGERS,except for about 10 of them,but with just the 12 that are coming Sunday,there are just like 6 that are NOT Teenagers !!!! Poor Mother ... they are all growing FASTER than she likes.

Well, Anyway... I hope that you all have a "Happy Easter",and NO Daddy's the "Prize" Eggs are NOT YOURS !!! lol...lol...lol... I had to say that ,because My Brother's,Husband,and Father KEEP the Eggs for themselves....THEY ARE A MESS... You would think that they were the KIDS... OK !! We all know that MEN are BIG KIDS !!! and mine has to be the WORST !!!!!! TRUST ME:o)

I will get back on here when I get the chance,but I am not sure when that will be.. I'm off to bed now that the girls are finished Watching "The New Moon", and can get my bedroom back !!! heheeee:O)... There was NO WAy that I was getting in that bed with those 3 in there... lol......lol...lol...

HUGS,

Enjoy Life....It's as Sweet as Tea...:)

2010-03-29T19:04:00.002-05:00

Hello... I haven't gotten LOST !!!!.... just NOT gotten around to updating,Posting,or doing anything for that matter with the Blog Here,or the Idea-Station. You should be able to go see the Blog Here. The Idea Station Url needs fixing @ the moment.

OK , I Finished updating the Blog and then seen that My DD had put Something on Hers and wanted to share it with you all.

She wanted to paint and update her "GETAWAY",as she put it and so we did that over the Spring Break. While we were doing that a Friend of mine made Mysea A "Vinyl Lettering" Saying, that she had from Her Blog... It FITS Mystea to the "T', or should I say "TEA"...lol...lol...lol...

Mandi did a WONDERFUL JOB !!! and it's going to look GREAT in her room... Here is a picture of it,taken from Mandi's Blackberry Phone...... I believe that the statement was it may be alittle "Fuzzy Wuzzy"....,but thats because it was from the Blackberry.

I will get a Link to her Website/Blog added to My Blog ASAP...She is VERY CREATIVE,so I am sure that she could come up with just about ANYTHING you would WANT....She did for us....

Thank you Mandi for the WONDERFUL SAYING .... as I said it FITS Mystea to the "TEA"... heheheee:O)... Great Talent and Wonderful Work !!!!

Well, I am off here to see what We need done before the Kids have to go to bed and the hubby has to go to work.I hope that you have a wonderful week and that you enjoy the Easter Weekend. I will try to Blog before and then shortly after the Easter Holiday...

Bunny Hugs,

Hi,
This post is later than I would like it to be,sorry about that. It's Sunday and the Day has just gotten away from me. I wanted to say "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY" to you all.

The kids NOT going to School Friday ment making sure that everything was done for the Valentine's Parties that they will have tommorow. That ment finishing Valentine Boxes,and getting the treat bags and what have you all made up and ready to go !!!!! THERE ALL DONE :o)

One of the things about having Twins, is that they are in seperate classes,so Mom has 2 parties to provide for. This year thats 36 treat bags for mom to get together,2 LARGE V-DAY BOXES,book bags,coats,and 4 kids to pile in a VERY SMALL car....ALL LOADED,Except kids of course..lol...lol...lol...

The older 2 are @ a Valentine's Day Banquet ,and the Twins are whinding down for the evenong,so I had time to get on here and post before dinner.

I hope that you all had a VERY HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY :o)..........

Mine was just the way that I expected to have it ....WITH MY CHILDREN :o) . The Hubby watched Nascar just like any other Sunday would have been ,since Football is over. I would have been watching the Daytona 500 too.,but there were to many things that were needing FINISHED ,so no NASCAR for this gal Today.... I believe that there are just 8 Laps left !!!!

Have a great evening and STAY WARM :O)

P.S. Yes The Hubby remembered that it was Valentine's Day... HE GAVE ME A REALLY BEAUTIFUL CARD.... It was written the way that I see a Marriage should be between two people...VERY PRETTY CARD!!!!!! I CRIED..:o),and He got the Chocolate.

Hello,
We were just testing the Blog here to see that the CHANGES in the Theme WORKED. I hope that you all are having a great Friday. I know that here @ least the Kids are because they are OUT OF SCHOOL !!! Not really anything to do with the Weather ,but More so because They were letting them Out @ 12:30 anyway and I guess Them starting @ 10:00 like the rest of the area would have been to rushed ... I really have NO idea why they didn't have it Today,but I know that the KIDS are just happier playing in the SNOW!!!!!!!

Well, Off to see what We need to do with the emails and other things for the day. Have a Great Day !!!!

MONDAY :o)

2009-08-03T00:00:00.003-05:00

Good Morning and Happy Monday to you all. I hope that your work week is starting off as you planned.......

Before I start the blog babbling this morning I wanted to say "Thank you" to Mary Fran over @ NitWitscollections for the wonderful digital scrapbooking kit "Goin' Banana's". I used the kit here to create the Blog Design for this mo.,and it was so FUN to work with.... I LOVED every minute of it.

I guess you could say that someone knows me well enough to create a kit W/O even knowing me @ all...lol...lol...lol...lol... Just Banana's ain't it !!!!!! This kit really describes the peeps in this house. How could she have known that there were "Monkeys" in Texas let alone in My House?... heheheheheeee:O)

I was not sure what I was going to do for the Blog Design this mo, you know weather it was going to be School,Beach,Flowers or what have you,then My DH made a comment about Our Twin Daughters acting like "little Monkeys" the other day,and I thought hey why don't I see if ANYTHING comes up "Monkey" in the Digital Scrapbooking world.

Well,after about an hour searching and there was NOTHING that had came up of ANY INTEREST...@ the bottom of the list was that of a site called Nitwitcollections.com ,and a kit called GOIN BANANA'S... I was over joyed to see that it was exactly what I wanted for the idea's that were in my head. The BEST KITS are usually the LAST ONES you find and this one was well worth the hour long search. PERFECT KIT :o)

Below are a few "Previews" of the Kit and the add on's to the Kit I used.

<

Again Thank you Mary Fran you are a VERY TALENTED DSD.... We will continue to follow your work.

Ok !~ Now to the blog babbling part ...lol...lol... Can you believe that its ALREADY AUGUST? That means that the END OF SUMMER IS NEAR,even though that's not to actually happen for a few weeks yet....

For my older 2... that started TODAY..... High School Band Practices started bright and EARLY this morning and for my DD Today was also the start of Her Volleyball Practices...BRIGHT AND EARLY @ 7 AM SHARP !!!!!

They have their practices right up til School starts and so as My Son says that you might as well say that School started already... I don't think that either of them are READY for school to start either.

The FIRST DAY of School is August 24th. Well, that's @ least here in Texas anyway.

Well, I'm off.... Richard will be getting home from work soon,and I want to go over the "Remodeling" plans that we have for him @ Mom's over the next few days while He is OFF....Boy, is He going to LOVE US !!! lol...lol...lol...

Have a BLESSED Day !!!!!!!
Hugs,

Daneta

THURSDAY ALREADY :o)

2009-07-02T06:19:00.004-05:00

Hello Everyone ... I know that I have not posted in along while here ,but the kids have kept me busy. I just wanted to send a note saying that I was thinking of you all,and now that I have had the time to sit a bit I have RE-DESIGNED THE BLOG just in time for the 4th.

Those of you wishing to see the NEW BLOG DESIGN may go to My Blog @ www.love4scraps.blogspot.com . I am NO PRO, but I love doing what I do,so I did this one just for the 4th !!!

Anyway I hope that you like it,and that you enjoy the rest of your day. I plan on finishing my "Cup of Joe'......Dr. Pepper !!!! Then its get the 2 older kids up to get ready for Church. They are decorating and getting the place ready for our yearly "Katie's Kids Kamp" This camp is alot of fun and they have it two times during the summer and my older 2 are Teen Councilors...What FUN that is Mystea says.... SHE LOVES WORKING WITH THE LITTLE CHILDREN AGES 3/4 YEARS OLD ...:o)

Mystea has to start hers this year with a BROKEN FOOT, poor dear :O( .... We thought that she just broke her little toe , since that was what she was complaining of.... despite the WHOLE FOOT turning BLACK AND BLUE.... , but we were told that it was a bone in her foot just below the little toe.... She is walking with a "Boot" shoe... ,and is doing really good with that!!!!

We will see how it heals after a few more weeks in the boot. The Dr. said that @ least 4 weeks and she did it on her Birthday June 17th , so we'll see how things are after the 17th of July.

Well, I am off to get the things that I need done. I hope that you all have a GREAT DAY !!!, and that if you are planning to do anything the 4th... that you stay SAFE!! HAVE FUN,EAT LOTS,AND STAY IN THE WATER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN !!! lol...lol...lol...lol... My kids say that's LIFE !!! Hehheheheee .... I have to say that they are RIGHT THERE!!!

Before I run off here let me say, Yes! I will get an update on Mother's Broken Hip thing and get it posted. I haven't forgotten about it, its just that there are NO UPDATES YET !!! She hurts really bad as you can imagine.....,and those of you that know My Mom know she just broke the LEFT HIP back in April. This is her RIGHT Hip this time. I will get to it Aunt Pj I promise....

Best Wishes,

MONDAY :o)

2009-06-01T09:28:00.003-05:00

Hello Everyone !!!
I hope that your Monday started on the right foot. Here It started sooner than I really wanted ... lol...lol...lol...,but its here....and its good ,so I can't complain.

Can you believe it..... June Already !!!! :O) , Yikes time FLIES BY !!!! ,and boy did it for me.... I needed more time in May just to get caught up.

Well, being June its the start of alot of things like the start of the "Summer Vacation" , for the kids. Their last Day of School was the 29th of May,and Mystea's Graduation Night. Boy are they glad to get out.... I think that the Twins were the ones that were the happiest...lol...lol...lol....,because they know that the "routine" that we have thru the School Year,just went out the Window. WE never are on a Schedule during the Summer. I try to,but it always gets blown out the window by the 2nd day :O(

This month is also one of My "CRAZY" months ,because there are 3 Birthdays two days apart and, then there is FATHER'S DAY, @ the same time the kids decide that they are going to go thru the "PMS" stages. I call it that ,because there is NO OTHER way to explain it. YOU JUST HAVE TO TRUST ME ON THIS ONE !!!!!

We all know what its like when a Woman goes thru the "PMS" thing, Well, here the kids go thru that ...lol...lol...lol... The Twins turn 9 and two days later Mystea turns 15,and with Braceyon already being 15..... that gives me TWO SETS OF TWINS!!!!! YIKES!!!!! My poor nerves ...

Anyway they decided that @ this time EVERY YEAR is when they are going to "PUSH MOM'S BUTTONS", just to see how far they can go.... It never fails ,they always WAIT TIL JUNE, and need I say that it LAST 6 WEEKS ..... NO MORE,AND NO LESS !!!!! I believe that the last day of Insanity is July 27th @ the stroke of midnight...

I am glad that they are growing up the way that they are ,even if it is FASTER than I would like. It is kind of neat when people ask "How old are your kids"?,and I get to say " I have two 9 year old's and two 15 year old's !!!

Well, before I run I will say that we made it thru Graduation Night just fine and Mystea and the rest of the graduating girls LOOKED OUTSTANDING !!! I am trying to get the pictures scrapped out, but there is always something that keeps me from sitting there and just doing them.... I think that's called "Kids"... I will get the pictures on here as soon as I can though.

HAVE A GREAT MONDAY :o)..........

Hugs,
Daneta

Graduation Night 2009

2009-05-29T00:01:00.004-05:00

It's finally here..."Graduation 2009". My daughter Mystea and My Niece graduate from PJH tonight,and are they ready...NERVES AND ALL ...LOL...LOL...LOL...

The both of them have come such a long way to get to where they are NOW, and this night has come so well deserved !!! I am very proud of the both of them. They are truely the BEST young Ladies.

I have to say though,I think that I am more nervous than they are,or is that My Mother,that's nervous for US ALL... heheheheheee:O) ?

They get out of school EARLY today,and then its off to go get the DO'S DONE,before tonight,and boy are there still LOTS of things that need done ,before then.....,and that's just for Mystea and My Niece , that's not counting the rest of the clan here that needs getting ready,or at least help getting there.lol...lol...lol...

I know that I will really be DRAGGING after all this,but this is so well worth it and We are all looking forward to it. Mystea has been planning this for Months as well a the rest of the 8th Grade young ladies.... THIS IS A BIG THING TO THEM !!!!!, and should be.

They are both very beautiful young ladies and tonight ,is just going to make them even more so.....

Graduating from PJH,is a VERY BIG MILESTONE for Mystea and My Niece as well as with ALL Teenagers that graduate from "JR HIGH". It's even a "Major" milestone for the parents too.

Things have really changed since you and I were in 8th Grade. The peer preasures they have to deal with today,and now these "TAKS TEST" that they have,that can drive them that much more INSANE !!!!!

These girls have much more to deal with then we did. What ever happened to just getting the A's,B's,and C's that we got when we were in school?

My hats off to these young ladies,because they do so much more @ school then we ever did,like the EXTRA CLASS called "TAKS CLASS",that often leads to AFTER SCHOOL TUTORIALS,just to finish the day!!!,then still have their activities such as Band,Cheerleading,Sports,and Etc... not to mention the Volunteering to be "Reading Buddies' for the Elementary School Kids ,just to help these little guys learn to read better and want to read EVERYDAY!!!

They often get up way before "Dawn",to get started with "Practices",before the School Day really even begins,and are ALWAYS the LAST in bed,but yet they still keep going @ a pace much faster than you and I ever had too....

Tonight is the END of the Pre-Teen World,and the BEGINNING of the Most Adventurous Journey that any young lady could ever imagine.

Mom's little Angel,and Daddy's Little Princess is growing up to be the most beautiful woman,and I'm very proud to say that "Young Woman" ,is My Daughter!!!!!

Congratulations Mystea on a job well done. We love you Sweetheart and wish you the very best.

Also Congratulations to My Niece and ALL the 8th Grade Young Ladies. May your journey take you to the finish lines of every dream you've imagined,and you reach every goal that you've set along the way...... you deserve it!!!!!!!

I will get the Graduation Nights Pictures .. Up here as fast as I can,just bear with me a few days after, that way I have time to get them up,after I catch up with Myself... lol...lol...lol...lol...lol...

Have A Great Weekend !!!!!!

Hugs,
Daneta

SORRY NO POST......UPDATE ABOUT MOTHER

2009-03-28T21:55:00.004-05:00

Hi Everyone.... I am sorry that I have not been here, but My Mother has been in the Hospital......,and thats MORE IMPORTANT TO ME!!!!

Sometime betwwen Saturday and Sunday of Last Weekend ,Mother had a Stroke.Thankfully the stroke was mild compared to what they are usually like. Thank you to all for the Prayers and messages that We recieved. Mothers Kidneys are still not working like they should and hopefully in a few days they start working like they should. we will see on Monday!!!

She went to the ER after not being able to go to the restroom,and not going nearly all weekend,and thats where they found that she had a stroke. They had did everything that they needed to get the fluid off her stomach,and endless test to see about a blood clots ,but nothing was done to see why the kidneys were not working,until today, and the Dr. said that there are NO REAL REASONS.... I guess that means that he DOESN'T KNOW ~~~ Thats real reassuring....

She is finnally home after late this Evenning!!! and we will see how things go as we continue to pray for the best , as She goes back Monday, to see if the Kidneys can go without the Cath.... LORD I HOPE SO!!!!! WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE BEST !!!!!

I will get back on here as I get the chance and when there are updates on Mother then I will try to post them too.... I hope that you all have a great weekend and that you are resting up for the week ahead... heheheheheee, I said that ,because there are a few of us that NEVER knew what that word ment. Whats REST? !!!!!

A SPRING BREAK "FEVER" YOU DON'T WANT :o(

2009-03-21T23:19:00.009-05:00

Hello Everyone. !!! I know that I have not been on here and posted anything , but not only did "SPRING BREAK" start last Monday,so did the "NEW" meaning "SPRING BREAK FEVER"!!! ....

this was BEFORE the Fever got to 105.2,and BEFORE we found out what she has !!!She Was still @ 103 here when this was taken. You should have seen the "CHERRY RED" when she reached 105.2 NOT A PRETTY SIGHT @ ALL !!!!!!

One of the Twins has really given the name "Spring Break Fever" a NEW MEANING!!!! ... poor dear was just liking the idea that she was going to be out a week.... When She caught a FEVER :o(

Sunday Morning , She didn't get up before dawn likes she usually does ,and when she finally did get up she was just laying around the house all day.

Sunday night was her night to stay @ Nana's house (well, My sisters house,with Mom... While they were in Colorado)... anyway she went,even though I told mom that I wasn't comfortable with that. Mom said " Nana's know how to take care of children ,better than mom's do" lol...lol...lol...lol... She is right there @ times!!!

Well, Off they went,but after just about 10 minutes the phone rang. Mother said that the "Other" Twin found the "Sick One" in the bathroom screaming in pain,and she was doubled over .... She was more than ready to have Daddy come back and get her.... SHE WANTED HER DADDY!!!.

Daddy went and got her and I got the bed ready, and the meds I thought that we were going to need,(BY THE WAY , THE TWINS WERE REFERRED TO AS THE SICK ONE AND THE OTHER ONE,BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY THAT "NANA' REMEMBERS THEM)...... lol...lol...lol...Mother can not remember who is who!!! and often they are called "Twins",instead of being called by their names!!!! THAT'S NANA'S FOR YA!!! LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL...

Daddy arrived back here @ home a few Minutes later and I got the poor baby in bed,and noticed that she felt hotter than she had earlier... I took her temp and it was 103.4 ...YIKES!!!! :o(

I gave her the meds that she needed and spent the night getting up and down with her and the fever thing.... what an exhausted mess we both were, then after countless hours of trying to get the fever to just break, I gave up and said ER here we come... THAT WAS A JOKE!!!!....NOT :o(......

Here we are on a Tuesday Afternoon and @ the ER where I thought that we needed to be. We got there and I knew that we would be there more than a few hours... you always are when you are @ the ER right???? Wrong We were just there 35 minutes total. The Dr. said "Lets see if she has strip throat,and if that's not the case we will go from there.... Ok!!! I said....

Well, they took her temp and it was 104.3, They swabbed her throat and left the room, just under 6 minutes later the nurse came in and said that the test were back and that they were NEG... on the Strip Throat thing ... that was good , but what was causing the FEVER,and better yet,Why could I not get it to break?????

Here is where it gets Interesting.......They said well, lets see... Are you giving her the Tylenol,and Motrin EVERY 2 HOURS,like the doctors suggest you do,when they are that sick?..... I said YES!!! that's what her Dr told me to do a few years ago when she and her sister both got fevers that would not break as a result of ear infections!!!! Ok, well let me ask te Er Dr? ... the nurse said....

Ok!` The Er Dr. has left...LEFT??? What he didn't do anything!!!! , No Meds to help bring down the fever, No Prescriptions for us to get filled,and NO Explanation as to what may be going on with her... I WAS FUMING!!! The nurse said that she called him and he said to just continue the Tylenol and Motrin trend that we were doing until the fever breaks and THAT'S IT!!!! WHAT IS THIS A JOKE? I'M DEAF, I JUST HEARD YOU WRONG THAT'S ALL RIGHT? NO!!! I HEARD HER CORRECTLY SHE SAID!!!! OK!! Now I am really FUMING !!!

We left and came home , but when her temp reached 105.2 ,and I still couldn't get it to break we went to another ER the next day, a little after 2:00pm about 35 minutes from the house. Just as I signed her in, the nurses took her from me and straight to the back... where they started working on her ,and there were nurses in and out of her room Constantly,EVEN THE DR!!! kept coming in ..... After 2 hours there the ER Dr. said that he knew that he was right , but wanted to wait and see what the test showed ,and now that they were in ... SHE HAD PNEUMONIA !!!! Yes!!! YOU HEARD ME RIGHT !!! , and @ that it was in both lungs!!!

They started 2 different kinds of Antibiotics and said that after she finished what they started ,that they were sending her home,because she would have to be having breathing trouble for the Hospital to let the Dr admit her... And luckly there was no breathing problems!!!!

We had to stay til after midnight , so Thursday Morning to get her where we could come home. She was doing good and then @ 7 Wednesday Night after giving her the Antibiotics her fever went STRAIGHT BACK UP !! and it was a fight to get it back down,but did a little after midnight. Thank the LOrd!!! :O) we were there a total of 10 hours,before getting to come home.

Well, I am off here I just wanted to let you know why I had not been here ... I hope that you all had a GREAT SPRING BREAK and that the rest of the few hours that are left on it are as good as they can get. God Bless you All, and Thank you to all that have already sent Cheyenne the WELL WISHES AND SCRAPBOOK KISSES !!!! her way!! They are all great and she loves them ALL!!!! :o)

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY MOM :o)

2009-03-13T00:24:00.002-05:00

Today is a very special day,one that's very meaningful to my mother and me. My grandmother is celebrating her 71st Birthday in heaven today. Happy Birthday Mom. We love you and miss you very much Love, your daughter Belinda,Granddaughter Daneta,Richard,and your 4 Angels!!!

Everyone that knows me,knows that I called My Grandmother "Mom",and to this day still do. She was the best(other mom),that anyone could ever ask for. I went everywhere she went,and My older daughter Mystea fell right into those same shoes I did. We were both spoiled rotten by her.

This wonderful Lady was there for me , just like My Mother has always been,and still is. When I had surgeries,learned to walk and talk,got the 1st set of hearing aids, dated,got married,and had my children... She was there for it all,and so many other things. If I couldn't get a hold of My Mother , then I would just call Mom...... That was Life :O)!!!!

Both My Mother and Mom are very special to me,because they were so much alike ,which makes it so easy to say "Mom",and to be proud that I was blessed to have them both in My Life. I had two Mom's where there are people that don't even get the chance to have just one in their lives.

Thanks to the both of them,I have a voice to speak with,Legs to walk on,Ears to hear from,and Oh Yes!!! I can Speak My Mind,very well....,because I had very good training :O)..... ,some call that "My Way ,or The Highway" lesson. I do believe that is a very true statement when it comes to My Mothers !!! hheheheheeeheeeee:O)

Well, I hope that you all are having a good day,and that it being Friday... It goes by fast..... I am going to get off her and go to the Cemetery to add Flowers to moms grave,and then off to see Mother for the rest of the day.

HAPPY THURSDAY :o)

2009-03-04T22:42:00.006-06:00

Good Morning :O)...... Today there really is nothing here to post,other than saying that the Teenagers made it thru the Taks Test!!!! Yehaw!!!! The poor dears,I sure wish that they didn't have to take them,because the kids are already worn out with the other things that are going on.

There was something brought to my attention yesterday evening and I want to let you all know ,I am sorry that I did not realize that you were NOT ABLE to see my blog designs,by just receiving the emails after I post each time...

A friend said that she did not know that I had the designed background and all on my blog until she typed it in,because it DOESN'T SHOW that in the emails that she receives...... ,So I am sorry about that and want to let you know that if you would like to see the way that the Blog looks go to my blog address

www.love4scraps.blogspot.com

I have went thru the other emails and I see just what she ment, Yes there are the Layouts that you are getting that I made, BUT NOT THE BLOG DESIGNS ITSELF !!!!! The Blog style this Month is "SPRING INTO MARCH". Thanks to My Friend Ragan @ Blogger Boutique.... Thanks a Million Ragan :O)

Well, I better run off for the day. There are a few things that are needing my attention and I want to get them done before the hubby and kids get home. I wish you all the best Wednesday !!!!!! Take Care !!!:O)

This I thought was a Man thing, but the more that I thought about it , It's a "KID THING",and he is a BIG KID!!! All the kids do the same thing and usually EVERY MORNING there is something thats been lost or mis placed... NO MATTER how you try to keep the peace and stay on top of things there is always something!!!! that me dears is PART OF BEING A MOTHER!!!!! :o)!!!!!!!! , AND I LOVE BEING A MOTHER!!!! :O)

Well,Dads off to work,and Moms up, so what do you do? No going back to sleep thats for sure!!! darn it!!! ,so the laundry is started,I'm dressed for the day,and the kids lunches are made....... YES!!! even the beds made :O)!!! lol...lol...lol...lol...

Ok!~ No!!! I haven't taken anything for the mass energy,@ that I am still VERY TIRED!!!, but when I get woke up I'm up... If I try to go back to sleep I toss and turn,then my RLS starts acting up, so I am better staying up til tonight.

Now , I am HERE.... Todays post says "TAKS TUESDAY", because My poor teenagers have to take the Taks Test Today!!!! I know that the dread it,and My daughter has been putting in OVERTIME with the studies to prepare for it.... leaving @ 6:15am everyday and then on Wed/Thurs not coming home til 5:00pm ,because she is @ the school getting ready for the Taks Test,has been hard then there is sports practice ,band practice ...lord that poor dear...

Anyway I wanted to WISH THEM A VERY BLESSED DAY!!,and hope that they are able to achieve the goals that they have for these test today. They have studied hard, and really deserve a break from it all.... BEST OF LUCK TODAY KIDS ON YOUR TEST, AND REMEMBER ,JUST TO TAKE YOUR TIME AND YOU WILL DO JUST GREAT!!!! :o) I LOVE YOU BOTH!!!

Not to mention not getting to enjoy the Girls that much either.

The Girls are really excited about their Valentine's Boxes that they are decorating, in hopes to Win a Prize ....:O) , just not going to be fun when one gets it and the other doesn't... That means that Mom has to spend the rest of Friday explaining that you both are winners, its just that ONLY ONE can win the prize!!!! That should be fun!!!!

I hope to scrap as many as I can over that Weekend, but we have to see what "Other" plans My kids have for me!!! ...lol...lol...lol...lol... remember that things don't always turn out the way I want them too !!!

My Dear Mother will be with me and the kids for the Parties and all,and the Girls CAN'T WAIT TO GIVE HER WHAT THEY GOT HER FOR VALENTINES!!!! , I just can't tell anyone what that it right Now!` , because Mom reads the Blog here too!!!! , so sorry my lips are sealed!!! heheheheheeee :O)

BACK TO SCHOOL :o) YEAH !!!!!

2009-01-05T17:39:00.002-06:00

It's Monday,and that means that its the beginning of the week for some,but for the kids here it also means that Christmas Break 2008 is "OVER"... heheheheheheee :O)......

My kids are as ready as they are going to get. The Twins are ready to see their friends, but the older two can't think of anything but the "HOMEWORK" that's going to start back up.... poor things.

The Weather here was a bit nicer than it was suppose to be. We did get a little wet this morning, but NOTHING like the area's around Us. There were as you can imagine wrecks here and there and that included a Pile up on a free way,but thank the lord that there were NO MAJOR INJURIES!!!

My kids were hoping that it would rain and freeze hard,that way they would get an "EXTRA" day off they said!~ lol...lol...lol...

I had already told them not to get their hopes up,because the school here "NEVER CLOSES".... like the others around Us do. That's just the way that school is here, so they went a FULL 1ST DAY BACK !!!!!!!

we hope that you all had a Wonderful Christmas and that the New Year proves to be a GREAT one too!!!! Those of you that are back @ work,after the much needed holiday,I hope that you are warm,safe,and Happy....

There is "ALOT" of Scrapbooking going on Now more than ever and right now there are a few people that are apart of a WONDERFUL "Valentine's Blog Train" ... for those of you that are not aware of what that is. It's a group of Scrapbook designers that have banned together to give away FREEBIES !!! ,and in this case it's all about "VALENTINES".

There are usually some GREAT items from the MOST TALENTED designers. I will get the latest info on the Blog Train this evening after I get the kido's to bed.

I WILL POST WHAT I CAN HERE AND IF YOU WANT TO BE APART OF THE TRAIN I WILL TELL YOU WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO TO CONTRIBUTE YOUR FREEBIE!!!

Remember it's alot of FUN!!!!!,and as My DD's put it , It's time to "SPREAD SOME LOVE"...LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL... :o)

Well, I better run and do that thing called Cooking, Ya!~ the kids are beginning to look a little thin !!!! heheheehehehee:O),but I will see you all tomorrow and I hope that yo all have a great evening. I will post tomorrow!!!!

Hugs,
Daneta

CHRISTMAS EVE ALREADY!!! :o)

2008-12-24T02:08:00.003-06:00

Good Morning Everyone. I hope that you have started your Christmas Eve off right. Here We are still in Tuesdays mode, Its after 2 am and I have never went to bed!!!! lol...lol...lol...lol...

I wanted to get a few things done here @ the house , since I went to My Mothers today and did a few things there to get ready for Christmas Day,and there were still plenty of things here that had to be done.

My Parents are to come here later Today,well this evening after dad gets off work.They come to each of Our houses to give the Grand kids there gifts from them, and see them open them !!!

Then its back to the House for them to COOK FOR THE ARMY !!!! LOL...LOL...LOL..LOL... @ least that's what I call Us. There are 7 Kids and 25 Grand kids, so that I would say is an ARMY!!! heheheheheee:O)

Here @ this House We "OPEN" gifts CHRISTMAS MORNING !!! The kids said that's the thing to do,because it looks like they got more ...lol...lol...lol...lol... We started that when the older 2 were 2 and we just kept it that way!!!

Tonight though there are Opening the gifts from Nana and Papa and then baking Santa Claus Cookies,leaving Rudolph Reindeer Food,Getting the Pies and stuff ready for tomorrow, Leaving the Key out for Santa (since we have NO CHIMNEY),and Yes !!!! coaching the kids back to bed 1000 times over, just because they are TOO EXCITED to go to Sleep !!! heheheheheheee :O)

I want to Thank Linda over @ Bon Scrapatit Designs for the Freebies that she offered on her blog there. She has an AMAZING TALENT!! I used her Kit for My Blog Title,The "Closed Sign",and the Christmas Cards that I made. There are other elements that were added,but they are from kits that I had here to give the blog a "WESTERN" look.

My Blog Team member Cheyenne was the one that came up with the design idea for the Blog Title, and did the Layout herself..... WAY TO GO CHEYE!!!! :o)

Before I go and try to get the few ZZZZ that I need before the rooster starts crowing, Here are 2 of the CHRISTMAS CARDS that Courtney and Cheyenne made and sent out to Family members.....

These are a little alike,and a little different. That's the way the girls wanted it to be. Courtney is the 1st one and Cheyenne is the 2nd card. We tried to get Courtney's picture closer than it is, but for some reason WE BOTH had trouble getting it that way, so we finally said WE GIVE UP!!! lol...lol...lol...lol... ,but it is still just as good as Cheyenne's and Oh Yes!!! I forgot that Cheyenne's was done in "Oil Painting" and Courtney's was NOT!!! poor dears face looked like a water poodle of colors "NO FACE"

Ok !~ I have said enough here and I have to go get the ZZZZZZZZZZ NOW!!! these eyes are NOT HOLDING "OPEN" now, and I am out of toothpicks... heheheheehe:O) I hope that you all have a great day and that Christmas Day turns out to be "WONDERFUL".... I will post something after we get back from Mother's Tomorrow Evening...., that's if I get the chance.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL AND I HOPE THAT THOSE OF YOU THAT ARE TRAVELING STAY SAFE!!!! OH YES!!! GET STUFFED !!! :O) !!!

(((((HUGS)))))
Daneta

Sunday :O)

2008-11-09T11:11:00.002-06:00

Hi Everyone!!!! Yes!!! Its Sunday and the day for rest, but here its always a day for "CATCHING UP" lol...lol...lol...lol... That's the way it is here with a Family of 6,2 Dogs,and countless teenage friends of the kids!!!!.

Anyway I just wanted to say that as you can see the Blog Signature that I created DID NOT WORK !!!, so its back to the drawing board for me :O( , but I tried....

I will see what happens later and hope that I get it right... Just bear with me,as I try these "NEW" tricks of the trade.

Hugs,
Daneta

Saturday :O)

2008-11-08T22:07:00.003-06:00

Hi everyone!!! Yes!!! we are CLOSED... lol...lol...lol.., but I thought that since I was here I would post a little Hello, so I could test the Signature Tag I made.

I made a Tag for My Signature,with the Freebies that I had. I hope that it looks ok!!! Please leave me a note to tell me where and what needs FIXING!!!!

I hope that you all are having a GREAT WEEKEND!!! I am!!!

I will post again Monday, but I might get a chance to do a little post tomorrow...... That's if the Twins and the older 2 let me...

Oh!` Yes!!! that also depends on My Dallas Cowboy Game!!! lol...lol...lol... Boy , do I hope that we WIN!!!!

Wednesday... and My Boo Boo!!! on Post.....

2008-11-05T08:32:00.004-06:00

Hi Everyone!!! I am sorry that this is late. I wanted to get this on as soon as the kids and the hubby left for School and Work,but I got side tracked with Stori...(you know the lovable Morkie)...lol...lol...lol...lol..

Anyway, I'm here Now, and I want to Thank ALL OF YOU!!!! That sent the emails that you sent in regards to "Yesterdays post". I have to say that is the "Longest" post that I have EVER MADE!! , but it was the MOST FUN!!! and BEST POSTING !!! , by far I think......

I received so many emails yesterday, that my inbox looked like it was going to bust @ the seams!!!...lol...lol...lol...lol... One of the Twins said " Mommy it has a FULL TUMMY !!..lol...lol...lol...lol... The Other said that the "MAIL MONSTER" was out!!! lol...lol...lol...lol...lol... , and I guess that My Inbox was just that!!!

There were to many to really start trying to list you all and say Thank you one by one, so I will just say "Thank you' in here as a "Bulk" mail "Thank you'....

I received an email by Heather and she said that she was having a BAD DAY, but that after seeing the post here Yesterday, that she was very happy,lifted her spirits!!! I am so glad that it did!!!!!

Heather has told me that I made a "BOO BOO" though and I need to get that CORRECTED HERE...ASAP!!!! The cute and very adorable like boy that is in the "Chocolate Layout" (eating "Skittlets") below in Yesterdays post is NOT HERS!!! AND THAT SHE DID NOT MAKE THE LAYOUT!!!! ..... SORRY WHAT A BOO BOO :o(

The Little Guy is that of Mindy Perschon...... Mindy let me take this time to say that I am sorry that I got this wrong yesterday. I thought that I had re checked EVERYTHING!!! ,and made the corrections needed. YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB HERE WITH THE LAYOUT!!! AND YOUR SON IS BY FAR THE CUTIEST LITTLE GUY !!!

I believe that if you have a GREAT "SUBJECT" to work with then the rest of the Layout is a "Piece of Cake", and I think that the Layout that Mindy Made of her Son is a proven fact of the matter.

The Layouts that I posted as examples of the kits that i thought were GREAT!! were just the BEST!!! it proves My theory of what i have said above about a "GREAT SUBJECT". There are so many Layouts that are "perfect",and I think what makes the icing on that "Piece of Cake" is that EACH LAYOUT WAS DONE WITH "LOVE', there is no better way to do it!!! that's the ONLY WAY !!! I THINK!!!

I have to get running now, there are a lot of things to do,yes!!! there are things besides "Scrapbooking".SHHHHHHH though!!! that's a NO! NO! to a Scrapper, they NO NOTHING , but scrapbooking!!! lol..lol...lol...lol... Example.... statement below!!!!

Ok!` lets see you Say that there is Laundry to do...right? Ok fine , Here is How I as a Digi Scrapper a do the laundry........

I PRE-SORT WHAT NEEDS TO BE WASHED (THAT'S TAKING PICTURES)
I ADD THE LAUNDRY TO THE WASHER ( THAT'S WHERE I UPLOAD PICTURES TO COMPUTER)
I SET MY SETTING TO FIT THE LOAD (OPEN SCRAPBOOKMAX AND EDIT PICTURES)
I WASH THE LOAD!!!!! ( BY ADDING ELEMENTS AND DESIGN)

DRYING THE LOADS THAT I WASH ARE JUST SIMPLY PUBLISHED TO THE GALLERIES @ GDS!!!! Now that's doing the Laundry to a Scrapper!!!! It's a lot more fun than that of the "Traditional Clothes Washing"........ Oh!~ Bleaching out the whites!!!! that's even easier...... JUST "CROP OUT THE PICTURE"......lol...lol...lol...lol..

Now I really have to run and do the boring stuff, but I hope that you all have a great day, and that is just gets better as the week goes by...

Hugs,
Daneta

TUESDAY :o)

2008-11-03T22:46:00.023-06:00

Happy Tuesday Everyone !!!

Today I'm starting My post talking about a designer and her CT who are just wonderful & very talented in both design and digi scrapping.

Heather Roselli and her very creative CT designed the "November Desktop" below. I have used this for My personal Desktop,as well,as making a "Special Gift" with it for Our T.S.S.'s Mother Ina. I have also used it in the Blog Title you see above as well.... As you Can see Heather and her CT are very good @ what they do.

You can get the Free download by going HERE

If the link above does not work, please go to www.heatherroselli.typepad.com to get the "Freebie". I tried for an hour to get the link to work it did then, I was notified that it was broken again,so please if it doesn't work go see Heather's Site.....

THIS IS OUR T.S.S.'S MOTHER'S "DESKTOP"

THIS IS MY "DESKTOP"

I thought that I would scout out two "Previews" that I liked and a few "Layouts",and post them here ,so you can see just how they look,and hopefully get you to go see just what I mean by "AWESOME"...LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL..:o). They are all that and then some. The creativity,style,occasion,just everything "FITS" perfectly.

The Two Previews that I found that were of "GREAT INTEREST",I really want to get..one they made with the "Season" in mind and the other was made with "Addiction" to EVERY WOMAN that I know in mind...... lol...lol...lol...lol...lol...:O)

Here are the Previews of those kits!!! "WARNING MAY BE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE"........

"FALL HARVEST"

This is the Fall harvest that Heather has. This is the kit that she had used to make the "November Desktop". It is just very warm,cozy and all about the true Fall and Autumn Season. It's great. I added a few of the Layouts that her CT have done with the kit,just to show the wonderful talent that I keep babbling about !!!!!.....

These are great Layouts and I "Love' them all !!!! I think if you hit the picture above it may "ENLARGE IT" to show them better. I hope that it does,but if not I apologize for that.... you can see these on Heather's blog too, so if the "Enlarging" doesn't work,please go to her blog. You'll be glad that you did!!!

Remember that I said that this could be "HIGHLY ADDICTIVE" Well, this is where that comes in.... lol...lol...lol... The next kit is by far an understatement to "ADDICTIVE'.... HEHEHEHEEE:o) ENJOY!!!!

Ok!told you.....it was addictive.... hehehehehehehe:O)...... I am eating a Hershey Bar Now!! ,while I type and post

Oh Yes!!! for all that know me already , you know I type one handed ,so you should see me trying to type this candy bar all @ once. What a sight to see here.... heheheheheheheee:O)

I can't help it Heather made me Hungry :O) !!! lol...lol...lol... Here is a Layout that was done with the "Chocolate Cravings" kit. I have to say again this is a wonderful kit!!!! and the Layout speaks for itself!!!! I do believe that this is from Heather Herself.

Well, Before I close I want to add another preview of a kit that Heather has informed me will be retiring along with the others this week that are like it ,and I want everyone to get a chance to get what she has,because they are VERY UNIQUE !!! These are called the "Clothing Tags" and they look just like the regular tags that you see on clothes at the store and the "markdown' that you see on them, when they are on "Clearance". I added one of the "Tags' to the blog Title above,as you can see,and just LOVE IT!!! I can't Thank Heather enough for all the Great Talent and Creativity she has shared with the rest of the Digi Srapping Community.

She has a few others Tags that are retiring soon that are just like these ,but are of different "Season", so please go see what she has to offer before they are "GONE".... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!

"AUTUMN CLOTHING TAGS"

Congratulations to Heather and her CT on more than a job well done. We here @ Love4Scrap wish you the best in all that you do,and can't wait to see what else you come up with!!! :O)

To all my readers ,Thank you for reading My First Ever "long" post... lol...lol...lol... I just wanted to try to get as much out there as I could about Heather and her Team,because there is wonderful talent here and it deserves to be seen.

I have taken longer than most times to post,and this 1 handed typer may have left a few errors,but I hope that you like what you see and are able to go see what I have @ both of Heather's sites.

Please remember to stop by her sites. They are listed in "My Favorite Sites" to the left here , so that you can access them more quickly. Please enjoy and have a WONDERFUL DAY!!!!!

HUGS,
Daneta

The Month of November has some really great things going on. The Twins have a VETERANS DAY PLAY Friday and that also is the end of the Six Weeks for them. The Six Weeks ending ,means that they will be getting a REPORT CARD next week...YIKES!!!!! , We always are on edge when we here the words "REPORT CARDS"...LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL... we were the same way with them when I was growing up.we dreaded the report cards ,even if we knew that the report card was actually going to be good. We were always a bundle of nerves.

Mystea started Basketball Practice and her First Game will be later this Mo!! I have a niece that is playing to,so it is alot of fun for me to go see them play together.....

We have just a few more Football Games for the high School,and then that will be over and the Bands Friday Nights are FREE AGAIN!!!! YEAH!!!!!!!, but they have alot going on with the Holiday Season approaching!!! do I mean ALOT!!!!

My Father would have been 59 on November 27,2008. Although he was taken from Us @ a VERY YOUNG age of 38 .... He has NEVER BEEN FORGOTTEN!!!! I along with the rest of My Siblings and My Mother will FOREVER keep Daddy in Our Hearts..... We Love You Daddy , and ALWAYS WILL !!!!!!

2008-10-29T22:18:00.003-05:00

HELLO EVERYONE!!! I hope that your Thursaday has started out nicely and that things are going your way. They are here... lol...lol...lol...

I finnally got to sit down and try to work on the blog... ,as you see there is a "Halloween" themed header. I am NOT HAPPY with the way that the blog looks,but I tried to get the "Halloween" look, and was NOT SUCESSFUL...:o( I TRIED!!

PRAYERS NEEDED !~

2008-09-25T12:02:00.002-05:00

Hello Everyone... I hope that your Thursday is going well. Today I start my post asking for prayers.A little boy in Kindergarden here and His Family need all the prayers that they can get right now.

Yesterday, He went to His Teacher and told her that his head was hurting ,and she sent him to the Office,but before the Mother could get there the Little Guy Fainted.

The Mother took him to the nearest E.R. and they rushed to do a CAT SCAN the E.R. Dr said that they were going to have to CARE FLIGHT HIM to Dallas, Texas to the Hospital there ,because there was BLOOD ON HIS BRAIN.

However, arriving there has given NO ANSWERS @ THIS POINT !!! . They said that they thought a BLEEDING TUMOR OR A BAD NERVE WAS BLEEDING , but they were not sure.

He is in I.C.U and they were going to do SURGERY today,as well as more CAT SCANS AND A MRI to see what they could find in hopes that they could see if it was a Tumor or a Bleeding Nerve.

His older sister is staying with friends here,as She is in the same class as one of the Twins. We wish her the best too!!!! She doesn't know whats going on there in Dallas,and that's a hard thing to try to be here and do work when EVERYONE is in Dallas with your little brother and you don't know whats going on.... Our prayers are with her as well.

May God Bless Him and His Family thru this all... Our Prayers are with them all :O)

PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM TO MAKE A FULL RECOVERY!!!! AND TO BE BACK HERE BEING HIS "BRIGHTFUL O'L SELF!!!!!.... HE IS JUST THE SWEETEST AND VERY BRIGHT LITTLE GUY!!!!! ,AND WE WISH HIM ALL THE BEST!!!!!!!

LOVE,
Daneta,Courtney and Cheyenne

THURSDAY :o)

2008-09-18T07:05:00.002-05:00

GOOD MORNING !!!!. I hope that you all are having a very pleasant Week. We here are and for Us its a VERY SHORT WEEK !!!!! The children are Out Early Today @ 12:30,and then they have NO SCHOOL TOMORROW !!!! .... YIKES!!!!

We here have a "Pioneer Reunion" Rodeo,and we have a 3 day Festival thing.. with a parade and all. The Children are in the Parade Saturday... It should be GREAT , but also VERY RUSHED, as the Twins have to be @ a Football Game some 50 miles away by 1 pm. That means get them off the Float and make a MAD DASH for the game....YIKES!!!! :o( WHAT A RUSH?

My Son and his Freshman Class have been VERY HARD @ WORK trying to get the last few things that are needed done to their "FRESHMAN FLOAT",in hopes that they WIN the Float Contest. Boy, I sure hope that they do. We are in the dark as to what the "Theme' of the Float is and all,they said that was to be a "surprise"...lol...lol...lol... I am not sure if I am ready for that yet... hheheheheheee. I will take plenty of pictures God Willing,and try to get a few posted here for you to see.

My older Daughter & My Son are also in the Band...YEAH!!!!! ,and We get to see them as 1 of the Bands starting the Parade. The Twins are going to be on their own "Float',I believe its just going to be a Trailer With the "Heartbreakers" on it though..... I can't wait to see what they 4 children have done for the Parade.

I want to make sure that I send a VERY SPECIAL AND HEART FELT "THANK YOU ", to the following people for the comments that were made and sent to me on behalf of My Grandmother's picture and post on Tuesday. It was the third year of her passing and I wanted to honor that. I received several emails on behalf of that and I want to make sure that you all get "Thanked".

To: Ina,My Mom,My Husband,My Friends @ GDS,Allie,My Children,and the several "anonymous" emails giving their well wishes for the tribute.I greatly appreciate all the emails and can not say enough of how that nade Me feel. My Mother cried, but it was A VERY GOOD CRY!!!!! OF HAPPINESS..... :O)

Well, thats going to be the it of my posting today,but I hope that you all have a great day and that the rest of the week and the weekend prove to be good for you.

HUGS,
Daneta

A VERY "SPECIAL" TUESDAY :o)

2008-09-16T06:53:00.004-05:00

Today's Post is about a Very "Special" Lady.... My Grandmother. Nana and Gammie as the Kids called her. I called Her "MOM" and still do !

She was a wonderful Lady and the Best that there was in a Grandmother to me,and Great Grandmother to My 4 Angels..... She loved all her Grand Children and Great Grand Children very much.

Today is the 3rd Year Anniversary of her Passing,and I wanted to take the time to honor her,to show that even TODAY, she is very muchly needed and talked about,and will always be. She would have been 70 Years old this past March...!!!

What are Grandmothers? Grandmothers are there to help pick up the broken pieces that are left when you get your heart broken.They do more than just bake Cookies,Pies,and bringing you milk with it all..

My Grandmother (Mom) was there every time I went to the Hospital with the medical problems that I have,and was there with My Mommy when they did the surgery that SAVED MY LIFE!~@ age 9. She was there when I got My 1st set of Hearing Aids.She was there when I met the man that became the love of my life.She was there when each one of my children were born. She was the one that Kept the Children while I was taking My Daughter to the Hospital with her Heart problems. She was there when My Daughter had Surgery,by coming in after it and taking over, so I could relax.

You name it SHE WAS THERE!!!!! Birthdays,Parties,Heartbreaks,Holidays,Time of Sorrows.... SHE WAS THERE FOR THEM ALL!!!!! That's what a WONDERFUL GRANDMOTHER DOES !!!!! , and that's what she did for ME!!!!

Mom,Gammie,Nana,Nana Billie.... to what ever each of us called YOU !, We miss you and wish that you were here TODAY !!!. We hope that you are Happy and having the time of your life up there in Heaven. It is with great pride and peace that I get to say that MY GRANDMOTHER ( MOM ) went to be with the Lord,and is NO LONGER HURTING !!!!

GOD BLESS YOU MOM,AND MAY TODAY BE A WONDERFUL CELEBRATION OF YOUR 3 YEARS IN HEAVEN !!!!!!

HUGS,
Daneta,Richard,Courtney,Cheyenne,Braceyon,and Mystea

FOOTBALL FRIDAY :o)

2008-09-05T07:56:00.004-05:00

Yeah Friday is here and so is Friday Night Football !!!! :O)

Tonight Our Football Game is here @ home and that's easier on me that way I don't have to RUSH and have the older 2 that are in HIGH SCHOOL BAND there 1 1/2 hours early to catch the bus out-of-town. They just have to be there a little before the game starts , so they can go as I go......

It being Friday ,also means that there is a Pep Rally @ School Today ! That's a real hit here with the kiddo's ,because it means a SHORTER DAY, and usually NO HOMEWORK.... Yeah!!!!!

Poor Cheyenne and Courtney have there Usual "Spelling Test",on Fridays,so that means Today they have one and then Cheyenne has a Reading Test Today too... Poor Girls they studied hard and really wish that they didn't have to have "TEST". I have no idea how Courtney got away with No reading test,but her Teacher did not add that to the homework list yesterday on the board,and as you can guess Cheyenne told Courtney "that's not fair",and the fight was on...... AAAARRRGGG :O(

Tomorrow we have their game "OUT OF TOWN".....yikes.... ,but it should be fun anyway... they have a game @ 6:00 and then Another game @ 8:00, so we should be getting in late Saturday Night..... well, they should sleep in Sunday.... Yeah!!!!! lol...lol...lol...

Sunday is the start of the regular NFL Football Season.... and that means my FAVORITE team plays that day... We here in this house are Dallas Cowboy Fans!!!! and you think that a guy is bad when a Football Game comes on, you wait til you see "ME"...lol...lol...lol... I am worse than my husband when it comes to a Football Game,especially the "Dallas Cowboys".... It's "DON'T BOTHER MOM TIME", unless you want to see what a true "Texan",does when you interfere with a Football Game.

Oh, there is one other thing that I want to get posted here before I go,since we are "CLOSED" over the Weekend and all.

"HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY DADDY" Richard's Birthday is not til tomorrow,but I know that we are NOT going to be on here,so I want to get it on here now.....

Sweetheart ,I hope that you have a really great "Birthday",and may all your wishes today,come True !!!!!.....Love, Daneta

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY", We love you ! Love,Courtney,Cheyenne,Mystea,Braceyon,Stori,and Cuddles too.... hhheheheheeee :)

You are the Best Daddy in the whole wide World!!!! and we LOVE YOU TOO the moon and to the stars and back again.... :O)

Well that's all for Today, I hope that you all have a Great Day!!!! and an even better weekend.... see ya Monday!`

HUGS,
Daneta

Hello all,Its Thursday already and I was NOT READY FOR IT ... heheheee I am glad that there is just 1 more day this week, but I have tons of things that have to be done.

Today being Thursday,means that its the beginning of the "on the go" time.... and there will be no rest til Sunday with there being Football Games from now til Saturday..... Yikes:)

Well there are just a few dates here that I will mention that I know I have already ...@ least I think.It's just that I want to add a reminder for myself too heheheee..... I can get VERY LOST with all the things that are going on these days. If you have a few kids like mine ,then you will see just how LOST things can get!!!!

Ok, lets see there Is Sept 6th,2008....This is the day that Mr. Mom ...lol...lol...lol.. turns 40 YEAH!!!!!!!! ,and yes he already has a few gray hairs, but those started years ago ....lol...lol...lol... after having the Twins...

Then there is Sept. 11th,2008 that's the day that I see Dr.Peters about the Cochlear Implant. The day that we get started in Phase 1 of the 3 phases that are there. YEAH!!!!!!!

On Sept 16,2008 there will be a "VERY SPECIAL POST" IN MEMORY OF MY GRANDMOTHER... She passed away 3 years ago on this date and I want to reflect that day on HER... She was and still is a VERY SPECIAL person to me and for those of you that know me,you know that I called her "MOM". I still do, even now when I refer to things about her... I ALWAYS WILL !!!!!

I think that's all that needed posting today. I better get off here and see what my darling little angels left for me to clean up this morning. They are TRUE LITTLE DEVILS ,in disguise ... You just gotta love them !!!!! and I DO !!!!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY :o)

HUGS,

TGIF.... :o)

2008-08-29T07:14:00.002-05:00

YEAH....YES IT'S FRIDAY !!!! and we made it thru the FIRST WEEK OF SCHOOL..... !!!. The Kids really have enjoyed the school so far and that makes a real difference with me... MAKES MY DAY GO SMOOTHER.....

Today is Pep Rally Day, and the kids are always excited about that. It means that the days are shorter for them,and then there are things like ribbons,tattoo's and buttons that are for sale from the High School Cheerleaders. "FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL" here in this area is a BIG thing for the kids and parents alike.

We have to play a team out of town,so the older two ... that are in Band leave @ 5 this afternoon,so they get there on time, and get in late of course...YIKES!!!!! , that's the ONLY DOWNFALL.... less beauty sleep for me that is....lol...lol...lol...lol...

Tomorrow We have the Pee Wee and Midget Football Games in Which the Twins are Cheerleader Dancers. They are the "Heartbreakers',and in deed they are that. There games are in the evening and we too will be coming in late that night.

In other news....... Over the Weekend I received a "Packet" from the Dr. Office where I am going to for the Implant. There were so many Booklets,papers and pamphlets to read and then there were the 5 DVDs that were watched to give me more Information. There was so much there that My head is still spinning from it all...lol....lol....lol....lol... :O)

There are 3 different manufacturers that make the Cochlear Implant,and although they are all great and all say that they are the best in offering the best for me. I already know what the choice will be after I have to make that decision.

There were the Sympathy (Med-El), the harmony and then the Nucleus Freedom. I have chose the Nucleus Freedom to be the Implant of my choice do to the many factors that I see to benefit me the most.

I got all the needed papers filled out signed and sent back to the Dr.Office ,so they will speed the process up a bit... well, they call them "Phases" ,and even though there are 3 phases to go thru there are still alot per phase to get to the Implant Surgery part.... YIKES!!!!

Also Yesterday I received My Voucher to get the Cap-tel Phone that I needed for the deafness that I have. The Cap-tel phone is a "Captioned" telephone that relays EVERYTHING that a person says when they call me,that way I don't miss anything that they are saying. There is a short delay in my response to answer you , but that's because I am reading what you have said before I answer you.

The Cap-tel phone cost 500.00 here @ the Hearing Center where I received it from,but the Voucher provided by the state of Texas and the program that they have called "STAP" gave me a 600.00 Voucher limit. The Voucher allowed me to get the Phone,Strobe Light Ringer and a Cochlear Cord to use after I get the Implant.... The total for these were just alittle less than the 600.00,but like I said the Voucher paid it for me.

To learn more about "STAP", please go to WWW.dars.state.tx.us/dhhs and then hit the "STAP" LINK... @ this point the state of Texas is the ONLY state to offer this and its great,because there is no "qualification' standard to go by, if you are deaf or hard of hearing then it lets you get something to help you based on what the Audiologist has said he/she thinks would benefit you.

There are several things that they will pay for,and when you go to the link for the STAP PROGRAM there will be a link to see what they will pay for and a description of the device.

ANYONE THATS HARD OF HEARING OR DEAF , WEATHER IT BE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW WOULD BENEFIT FROM THIS SERVICE SHOULD CHECK THIS OUT.... REMEMBER "TEXAS' RESIDENCE ONLY !!!

Ok!~ its after 8 am and there are still a few things that I need to get done before the day gets away from me,so have a GREAT DAY!` and a SAFE AND WONDERFUL "LABOR DAY" !!!! We are going to enjoy the 3 Day Weekend that the Kids and Dad get .... :O)

HUGS,
Daneta

2008-08-25T07:59:00.002-05:00

YEAH !!!! Today is the 1st Day Back To School for the blog Department....... and Boy !~ are we excited.....:O) The Kids did great this morning getting ready and off to school today and then allowed me to get a few pictures before they headed off for the day.

Although I was allowed to get a few pictures of the Twins @ School ,I was told that was NOT the thing to do with the older two...... "Mom you don't do that in Jr.High and High School", they tell me.... so I did not get the pictures that I wanted to there... I tried...lol...lol...lol...

I cried as they went there ways and then remembered that I needed to be having a party , since I was going to be home alone from here on out..... and there was going to be NO FIGHTING to keep things cleaned up...lol...lol...lol...lol...

Well, This is a Short and Sweet post ,because there are a few things that I have to do before the Hubby leaves for work, ya he stayed home awhile this morning that way he could See the kids off to school too.....:O)

I hope that you all have a Great Day!~ I know that I will...:O)

HI,and Yeppers it Friday !~ Yeah...... :). I don't know about the rest of you,but I sure am glad that Friday is HERE. It means that the weekend starts Tomorrow and My rest days are NEAR...LOL...LOL...LOL... Weekends are the days that Mr. Mom takes over .... hehehehehee.

Lets see where do we start Today, Huh...Oh ya..The Main Dr. for the Cochlear Implant emailed and said that they have set up Sept.11,2008 as a date to have me see 2 different doctors. One to do the Evaluation Hearing Test (more complex than the regular test),and to see the doctor that will handle the Surgery Part.

The Office said that they would send me a "packet' in the mail to go over all the "Time Dated" material,and send more paper work that needed to be signed and sent that way before I even get there......YIKES..... I am going to see Paperwork in my dreams !!!!!!!

I am really excited about this ,like you already knew that,but the more that this goes to rolling the more excited I get.....lol...lol...lol...What a dream come TRUE for me !!!! I will update again as soon as I get more information.

OK.... Now to other news ...SCHOOL STARTS MONDAY !!!!! YEAH!!!!! @ least that is the good news for all Mothers ...lol...lol...lol... not all kids are excited about that,but there are a few that are ready to go back,like the ENTIRE BLOG DEPARTMENT HERE !!!!....They are ready to see there Friends more than they are the School work aspect of things..... :)

School starting Monday means that the Blog team will No Longer be here to help with the Blog, but Our T.S.S. Elli and I will still be here hard @ work...The Countdown Pencil shows that there are just 3 days left and I think that the Twins wish that it was already here,they are so excited to go back to school ,even more so after they got to "MEET THE TEACHER" last night that they are going to have for the year...:O) BTW: they are in "Separate" classes....heheheeeheee poor teachers,they have NO IDEA what they got themselves into...... lol...lol...lol...lol...:O)

Well, I better get off and see what the blog team is doing they are all quite and actually helping each other , so I am afraid of what they are getting into, I don't think that I want to know.....but I better go see :)

Have A Great Day !~ and a Wonderful Weekend....

Daneta

THURSDAY :)

2008-08-21T06:49:00.005-05:00

GOOD MORNING .... EVERYONE :o) I am sorry that it took so long to get this posted. I was going to post yesterday,but the Blog was RE-ARRANGED..AAARRRGGG:o(.

I have no idea what happened while I was away,but the Blog decided it had "Party" plans I guess and re-decorated itself. Boy, was this place a mess. I worked til after midnight last night getting it straight and finally it looked like it should,but I was tooo tired and majorly stressed to even think of posting anything!!!!!!

I went to the Dr.Friday and met with Her @ 10am just as planned and things went VERY WELL...YEAH!!!!!! There was so much more Information given that my head is still spinning...hehheheheheee

The Dr. said that there were so many decisions that I would have to make and @ that be sure that I even wanted it...Want it?....... Why would you even ask that ? YES !!! I want the Implant.... I have waited to long nit to get it.

Things like what Type of Implant I wanted ... You mean I have choices?...Yikes ... I actually have to choice between 2 different types,and I thought that there was just one type.(I don't have to choose right now),but will have to @ a later date.....

There is the "FREEDOM" and the "BAHA" styles to choose from. I though that the "BAHA" was a type of Taco that you get at Taco bell..... heheheheeeee :)

Well, I already know that I choose the "FREEDOM" STYLE Cochlear Implant. This Implant is one of the leading Implants in the Cochlear Implant history,and the style,design and the benefits all together are to me the BEST THAT THERE IS !!!!,so I know what I will choose when I have to make that choice.

The baha looks like a cable box attached to the head and that's NOT FOR ME ! You can see the pictures below of the two choices. The "FREEDOM" ,also lets you change the Microphone plate and the Battery Cover areas to MATCH WHAT YOU ARE WEARING OR YOUR PERSONALITY!!! .......... Darn NO WILD Zebra Patterns to show my "WILD" side of life...heheheheeeheeee:O). You may want to visit the sites listed below to see and read more about them...

www.cochlearamericas.com
www.dallascochlear.com (My Dr. Office Website)

THE DR. OFFICE WEBSITE HAS AN AREA WHERE YOU MAY SEE "ACTUAL" SURGERY PICTURES OF THE IMPLANT BEING DONE... WARNING THESE ARE GRAPHIC and you may not want to see that type of material....

See That looks like My cable Box to me and that's NOT FOR ME !!!

The one above is the "FREEDOM" and that's the one that I want that way it hides under my hair and if I had my hair pulled up then I can change the outter covers to match what I wear or etc..... MY MOOD @ THE TIME !!!! heheheeheeee :O)

OK!` Sorry that it took so long to get the post ,but after the re-decoration of the site and the Blogger NOT WANTING ME IN.... it took more time then I wanted , but here it is and We will keep you all posted on ALL UPDATES !!!!!!

HUGS,
Daneta :O)

YEAH......HEY...THURSDAY :)

I want to take the time NOW to say Thank you to ALL the Friends and Family that have been sending me the Well Wishes,Congratulations and just the down o'l "Jokes" about the IMPLANT to get me thru the Day !!!!... This is an exciting time,but also a VERY NERVE RAKING ONE @ THAT ...YIKES!!!!!!!!!,and without the comfort that I have received I would be the NUT CASE OF "TEXAS', by NOW.... OK I have been told that I already Am...,so lets just say I WOULD BE WORSE !!!!!!

INA,ELLI,AND ALEX from Finland are the next to get "talked about" here ,because they have been the VERY BACK BONE for me this Week !!!!! and they are the BEST FRIENDS THAT ANYONE COULD HAVE!!! Ina makes my day the brightest each time I check My emails and see that there is 1 from Her and then Elli, Oh Elli My VERY SWEET AND ADORABLE "INTERNET" DAUGHTER .....lol...lol...lol...lol...lol :O). Every day that I get the chance to see a NEW LAYOUT that her mother has done, or just hear what she did that day makes MY DAY!!!!! ,and FINALLY there is Alex...

CONGRADULATIONS :)

2008-08-08T09:16:00.002-05:00

We here want to CONGRATULATE Our T.S.S.'s Mom "Ina" on her First Day back to Teaching. Miss Tammivuori as she is called hasn't been teaching in nearly 2 years and so this will be a fresh new start of things. Although she was just at work to plan the things out for the Year it never the less was her "FIRST DAY BACK" in a class Room, so we wanted to make sure that she knew that she was thought of and that we here @ Love4Scrap Are proud of her !!!!!!

We hope that her "FIRST DAY' with the students goes well Monday too..... :)

This being August and School starting things are going to be changing here too.... Starting August 25th we will be changing the hours here to 8-10 am and that means anything that needs posting will be done during that time,and there will be NO WEEKENDS as usual but this is because the Football Season Starts and the Games will be Thursday-Saturdays and these Times are FOR THE CHILDREN ONLY!!!! :)

On other notes we are leaving the 15th of August to see a Dr. to get the Cochlear Implant stuff started for ME, as some of you already know that this is a much long awaited blessing and although I have NO IDEA when it will happen do to the test and things that have to be done FIRST.Hopefully everything will be up to having the Surgery.This Visit is the START OF A WHOLE NEW ME :), and I am READY!!!

The things that happen along the way I will be sure and post HERE, so that you all know whats going on,and yes Pictures will be taken too as that comes along... heheheeeeee....:) A Journal to the Cochlear Implant is what I hope to post HERE and keep you all informed....

Well I am off here to read a few Emails and see to a few things before the day actually gets away from me here.... TGIF!!!!,but I am going to miss Friday altogether if I don't get BUSY!!!!!! LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL... :)

Have a Wonderful Day,and May God Bless You All

Daneta

I know that I have been MIA again and that seams to be the thing with Me and My Luck of things, But I have hurt the area around My Kidneys. When I sit for any period of time , it shoots pain down the right leg.

I went to the Dr.and was told that I pinched a nerve,but things were getting worse and went back, to get Blood Test and Other test Done, and was told that it was a "Stain Torn" Muscle.... What on Earth could I have done, to have did that? I still have No Idea, but the Dr. gave me more meds and said take it easy... THAT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE,WHEN YOU HAVE 4 CHILDREN !!!! ,but I am trying.....

Anyway I just wanted to say that I will be on when I can ,just not like I had planned too. :( Sorry!!!!

I will be on with a New Blog look as soon as My Computer get up and running again, Yes!!! its still NOT WORKING !!!! UNFORTUNATELY... The Tech Guy has NO IDEA what he is doing , said it was the HD and now its the Mother Board ,but He isn't sure... :( that's real comforting :( :( :(

Well, I am off to the bed again its after 6 am here and been up since 3:30 hurting so I am going to try to catch the beauty sleep needed...

PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS AS I TRY TO HEEL FROM THIS "TORN MUSCLE" MESS. I DO NEED ALL THE PRAYERS I CAN GET ... I SURELY WANT THIS TO GO AWAY ... FAST!!!!

I hope that you all have a GREAT WEEKEND!!! I know I will because My Husband COMES BACK HOME !!!! :) ...... I am a BIG BABY ,but I miss My Husband when he is gone!!! and the Kids miss him even worse than I do....

Have a Great One !!!!

Hugs,
Daneta

THURSDAY !!

2008-07-24T06:49:00.002-05:00

Hi There!~ ,
I hope that Everyone is having a Good Day!~ Here it has started out pretty good. Its nearly 7:00 am and the House is still quite!!!! The Blog Dept. decided to "SLEEP IN"...lol...lol...lol... They had a late Night.

The Weather here is still VERY HOT and the Weather Man said that there would be no end in sight to the High Temps that we have had here the past few days.

When you live in TEXAS that's pretty much the way that the weather is, but that doesn't mean that I'm use to it...lol...lol...lol...lol... I have lived in Texas ALL MY LIFE, and that's most likely where we will stay ,but I could go for the Winter Weather that they get in Alaska!!! lol...lol...lol... :)

Before I close I want to ask that you all say a Prayer for a little girl that lives just down the street from me. She is a 3 year old little girl named Elizabeth and she was @ home yesterday sick,The Mother gave her a bath after getting sick ,then told the lady that was there that she was going to walk to the store and get a "Sprite' for her and would be right back that lady said OK, the mother left and on the way back to the house heard a loud screaming noise as she arrived back at the house she found that her 3 year old had been SEVERELY BURNED @ her Feet.

There is NO SKIN to the little girls feet to just above the ankle. Although the details are sketchy, it appears that the baby decided to go back in the bathroom after the mother left ,and was playing with the water and turned THE PURE HOT on, then attempted to get back in the tub, and that's when the water got to her and the feet area.

They Air Lifted the little Girl from the High School area here and sent her to Cooks Children's Hospital in Dallas Texas . I watched as they loaded the little girl and the pain that she was in. the Screaming and Crying,and the poor Mothers state of Mind. The Mother just barley in her 20's was just beside herself. That's the reason that I ask that prayers be with them. They are SO young and the little girl just getting started in life. The Parents are just now really beginning to see the way that a Toddler can get in trouble in just a matter of Seconds.

PLEASE ,IF YOU HAVE A TODDLER WATCH THEM VERY CAREFULLY, THEY CAN GET INTO THE BIGGEST OF TROUBLE WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A WARNING !!!! AND ALL IT TAKES IS JUST 1 TIME !!!

Even Our Little T.S. S. "Elli' is watched like a hawk,because she is @ that VERY CURIOUS STAGE in life. God Bless that she hasn't had any majors ,and We hope that NEVER happens........ :)

Well its off to start the Day as its after 7 now and the things that I have to do for the day are NOT going to go away! yikes... I need another "ME"

I hope that you all have a great day and I promise that things will not be so boring here once I get the Computer of mine off "Life Support"....

HUGS,
Daneta

COMPUTER STILL "DEAD".... WELL ON LIFE SUPPORT !!

2008-07-23T23:35:00.002-05:00

Well today @ 3:30pm the Tech Guy came and did the install on the "Dead Hard Drive", but the darn thing is still down, @ this point its on Life Support.... meaning that its booting up to the "Compaq" logo,but thats all that its doing.

The is no Windows Vista or other operating systems in it, and We can not get it until We get A Recovery Disk that we do not have. We are waiting on that and then we can try to finish what was started and then hopefully we can say that the thing is "OFF LIFE SUPPORT" thats the plan anyway..... Just take a few more days to get the disk that we had to order.

Anyway, Until then We are here on the DH Computer , just can't scrap anything yet!~ darn it :( :( ..... I sure hope that things get done soon,cause I want to SCRAP!!!!!!! :)

While I am here thought that I would post a part of the email that My Aunt sent me asking for help... to see if ANY OF YOU COULD HELP ME HELP HER OUT!!!!! :)

Here is the Email : Will you check around with some of your friends & webgroups to see if anyone has any old costume jewelry or beads. It doesn't matter if the jewelry is broken or not but that is how I have been making ends meet for us & helping pay our bills! YOU KNOW what it is like living with a disability and limited income.Gas prices up..my supplies have gone up too! If you can find me some...I will gladly pick them up! No particular color or whatever....I use wood, ceramic, porcelain, rocks...if I can string it...I can make it into a piece of art...I am rather good at it too! Just need to help me find some more beads....freebies if we can!!
Love,
Aunt Patsy

My Aunt and Uncle are Disabled and live ONLY ON DISABILITY, which doesn't pay nearly enough of what they need ,even for the 2 of them. My Aunt started making jewlery and selling it to help with things and they help buy the groc,meds, and other things that they need. She is just really needing MORE SUPPLIES and I thought that I would post this here and a few other places to see if ANYONE of you could help me ,help her. I would greatly apprieciate it and even if you don't have any beads ,maybe you know someone who might that would be willing to give them to you and you give them to me to give to my Aunt.

I will gladly pay the S/H to get them here . if you just can find them...ANYTHING~~~~~~~ She said she can bead ANYTHING!!!!

Please Email me with any ??? that you may have and I will answer it ASAP!~! Please help me help them. they are the BEST and they asked for help, so I want to do all that I can, I just can't do it alone.

I hope that you all have a Great Thursday and that the weather doesn't get you down. Please be careful in the Heat!!! expecially if you are here in "TEXAS"

HUGS,
Daneta

WAHOOOOO TODAY IS THE DAY !!!!

2008-07-23T07:07:00.002-05:00

Good Morning Everyone !~ Yes Wahoo is what I wrote,because today is the day that my computer gets FIXED!!!!!! and that in this house is like a child getting a NEW TOY!!!!,OR CANDY FROM THE STORE!!!! lol...lol...lol...lol...

The hard Drive arrived Yesterday from Fed-Ex around 1:30pm, so I called the company that was to be here Tomorrow and they said that they would be here between 2-4pm today, so that's 10-12 pm Finland Time......

I can't wait because there are a few challenges that are going on over @ GDS and I can't do them until the computer gets fixed... :(

There are a few things that I and the Blog Team want to add to the Blog here and they too can't be added til after the computer gets fixed, so Today is a Day that we have been all waiting for!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Well its after 7 here and I need to get a few things on the ball that way we get what we need done before the Computer Tech Guy gets here. If All goes well then I will be on here Later and getting things ready for tomorrows post,since today's post was not what I was going to write then it will hopefully be tomorrow.

I thought that this was the BEST NEWS!!! here @ this point ,so that's why I chose to write about it instead... Ok , not the lottery or anything ,but its like winning it here... hhhhehehehehehehe :)

Have a Great Day !~ It's going to be Another "HOT" one here in this part of TEXAS.... 106 is the "High Today".... Sure wish that we were getting some of the rain that they are getting in far South Texas Today. we DON'T NEED a Hurricane, but the rain would be gladly appreciated with all the heat that we are having here!!!!

GOD BLESS THOSE GOING THRU THE HURRICANE IN SOUTH TEXAS TODAY!!!! MAY THEY BE SAFE FROM MOTHER NATURES FURRY!!!!

HUGS,
Daneta

Tuesday Already!` :)

2008-07-22T06:20:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone ! Hope that your morning is proving to be good. Today here has started well, but I sure wish I knew where Monday went?

I guess that with the laundry and even more than I cared to do, I just let the day pass me by... Yikes :(

The Week started off "HOT",and according to the Weather Man,it's going to stay that way for the Rest of the Week!!! AAAAARGG!!! I don't like it this "HOT" !

Yesterday was 103 and Today is to be 104,but we do have the tendency to get hotter than what the weather man post on the 5 day forecast, so we will see....... Either way it's NOT my "Cup of Tea" type of weather.

I received a "Comment" from Our T.S.S. who decided to "Runaway",and thought that I would share it with you all. I pray that she gets back here soon,but I don't know after getting the message that I received early this Morning.

Here's your runaway TSS! I'm having a blast with Momi and not coming back at all. but I can still be your TSS. Hope you get your computer back online soon so that I can mess it up again. LOL
With hugs!
Elli
July 22, 2008 2:52 AM

See after that Comment this morning I wonder when and if she will really come back!~..... The Blog Dept. says that they need her here and wish that she were already back, but they understand why she went to her Muum's house..."JUST GET BACK HERE ASAP!!!! and that's the orders from the Blog Dept. Supervisor "Mystea"...lol...lol...lol... :)

Well, Its off to see what messes that the Dept and I can get into and then see what the weather actually does temperature wise. I hope that the post that I was posting today will be of Interest to you all tomorrow. I just thought that changing a few post around was the thing to do after getting the "Comment' from Our T.S.S.

Have a Wonderful Day ,"HOT" Day If you are in "TEXAS"

HUGS,
Daneta

MONDAY

2008-07-21T04:05:00.000-05:00

Good Morning Everyone,hope that you all had a great Weekend. I want to first off say that we here at Love4scrap apologize for being M.I.A. the past few days.

Lady Luck just has not been running well with me and O'l Faithful..... "The Computer" that is. Most of you already know that I have been having trouble with the Computer for awhile now, well it's NOW OFFICIALLY ... DEAD !!!

I did get the things that I needed "backed-up" off, well @ least I think I did.I won't know that for sure til we get it running again and try "Restoring' what I have saved on these 5 disk. It would be just my luck that these disk show that they all are "BLANK".... I sure hope not , because I need no more stress !!

You all have to remember that I am not the Computer Whiz, that's our T.S.S. "Elli"...lol...lol...lol...lol...lol...lol...,whom by the way is NOT HERE TODAY!!!! She got smart and called 1-800-GRANDMA. (Muum) is what she calls hers. She ran away from home after Daddy went to England,so that she could keep her sanity I guess... playing Hooke from work here.....is the way that we see it....lol...lol...lol...:)

Anyway back to the Computer thing.... it should be up and running this week,hopefully !!!! The Blog Dept says that the Tech Guy should be here by Thursday - Lord I hope so !!!!!

We have a few post that are way PAST DUE,and even though they are We would still like to post them to be made aware of.

Please watch the Blog for the up coming post
1. Past Due Post
2. Exciting News on Me
3. A Blog Birthday :)
4. Our First "Blog Newsletter"

Until Tomorrow , Have A Great Day !!!!!!

Hugs,:)

TGIF !!!!!!!

2008-07-11T11:20:00.001-05:00

Hey there Everyone !!!!! TGIF!!!!! I don't know about the rest of you but I am sure glad that its "Friday"....

Today though instead of rabbling on about TGIF,I have a really "Special" Post to Our T.S. S. "Ellie" ... Today is "Ellie's Name Day" in Finland and we here would like to wish her "A Happy Name Day" We hope that today , was the day that was just for her.

Let me explain what the Name Day thing means to the best of My knowledge...... Memory is a bad thing with me ,remeber , so if there is any of this that's wrong let me know ,and I will ask Ina to help me CLEAR IT UP!!!!! :)

Anyway, In Finland each year they add names to the dates of the Mo,and Today is "Ellie's" Name. They Celebrate the Name Day, by making a Cake and have Friends and Family over and give her a few gifts.... This is ALOT like a "BIRTHDAY PARTY' as we American's know it , but Today,instead of honoring her "BIRTH",they honor her "NAME"...

I think that this is VERY NEAT AND LOVE THE IDEA!!!! ,just here.... having what we would call 2 parties... 1 for birth and 1 for name would quickly become a never ending "Party" Family ,because thats 4 kids X 2 Parties each year ... 8 Parties and I can bearly afford the regular 4 ... lol...lol...lol...:) :) :) :)

Ellie Sweetheart We hope that you have the BEST DAY EVER!!!! ,but remember it's BACK TO WORK HERE @ lOVE4SCRAP FOR YOU COME TOMMOROW !!!!!... OK WAIT ,WE WILL LET YOU OFF TIL MONDAY!! !!!, but after that We need Our T.S.S......LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL...

EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT TGIF!!!! ,AND A VERY SAFE WEEKEND, I WILL BE BACK HERE ALONG WITH THE BLOG TEAM MONDAY MORNING ..... :) :) :) :) :)

A LATE POST... SORRY!`

2008-07-10T22:13:00.000-05:00

I am sorry that this is such a late post, but its been a running day!!! Just the kids alone are always a handful...lol...lol...lol..,but as I was talking to My dearest Friend Ina, My Mother came in sick ,and needed attention, so I spent the rest of the afternoon doing what I needed for her.

She is doing what she has needed to do for days and that is REST!!!... It is LATE here I said, but we ae ALL STILL UP!!!!!.....YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Richard is working out and the Older 2 are lisening to thier MP3 Players.... One Twin is Coaching Dad and the Other is giving me a MAKEOVER as I type..lol...lol...lol...lol...

Tonight has been a fairly easier night than the day was , but I bet that before 12 midnight that there are a few arguments and Mom will be needed as a referee !!!!!...lol...lol...lol..

Tommorow's Friday and I will try to post ,not only better but a whole lot earlier!!!!......

I hope that EVERYONE has a GRET FRIDAY!!!!!!! ,AND AN EVEN BETTER WEKEND !!!

Best Wishes from Me and the Blog Team!!!!!

Short Note Today!~

2008-07-09T12:30:00.000-05:00

Today is just a short post since things are CRAZY HERE!...LOL...LOL...LOL... Thats what I get for having 4 Children. There are always going to be days like Today.

All 4 are going DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!!! and STIL FIND SOMETHING TO FIGHT ABOUT:( I thought that I would just post to say that we are here and are still kicking , Oh yes and CLEANING!~ YUCK!!!! and thats just about the size of things!~

I hope that you all are having a great day and that things are not as CRAZY THERE (where ever you are ) , as they are here !!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY !!!!!!

HAPPY TUESDAY !!! :)

2008-07-08T12:01:00.000-05:00

Hey there Everyone ! Hope that your Tuesday is going well. Mines still in the recovery process from the Sun Burn...lol...lol...lol...lol...

Which reminds me,after yesterdays post,I received several emails asking if I would like to apply for different job positions.

Like the one from Red Lobster, asking to be their mascot in Commercials.Then there was the one that came in from one of you friendly posters here who said I should think about Rudolph's job for Christmas. I wont mention any names ,but you know who you are "INA"...... Thank you very much dear for that , or is it deer?....lol...lol...lol...

Ok!~ Lets talk the new names that I have been given since I came home from Camping Vacation.

They are Lobster Bottom,Candy Cane,Hot Mamma,Hot Tamale,Cherry,and Jalapeno... These are just to name a few.

Thank you all for such given names although I had no idea that I needed to change My Birth Name. I guess I will have to though , just have to pick one of these and they are ALL GOOD :),hard to choose just one.. Thanks to all whom sent these.

Now Thats been covered ... Lets get onto TODAY'S POST !!!!

Computers - My Friend,My Life and I have been told that I'm Married to it rather than to My Dear Husband. I use to laugh @ that when people said that, but NOT ANYMORE,because its now official...WE'RE MARRIED !!! - Now you can Laugh :) :) :) :)

See this is the way that I sum up the relationships between My Husband and The Computer and you can clearly see that the Computer and I are MARRIED!!,without a dought.

1. I have my Dr.Pepper with the Computer NOT THE HUSBAND!!
2. I eat my meals with the Computer NOT THE HUSBAND !!
3. I read the emails and the newspaper with the Computer NOT THE HUSBAND !!
4. I work with My Computer NOT THE HUSBAND !!!
5. I shop with My Computer NOT THE HUSBAND !!!
6. I pay the bills with My Computer NOT THE HUSBAND!!!!. HE NEVER PAYS BILLS !
7. I watch Movies with My Computer rather than Snuggling with the Hubby and watching it on the DVD player in the Den.

You see I am with My Computer more than I am with the Husband, so it makes since to say that we are MARRIED rather than Richard and I.

Whats the Husband for you ask?

Hmmm.... Thats a hard question,but lets see.

1. Makes the REAL GREEN, so I can Scrap to My Hearts Content!!!!
2. Fixes the Computer when its down,and thats if He knows how.
3. Becomes the MR. MOM as soon as his feet hit the door. !!!
4. Gets all the "Its your Fault' weather it is or NOT!!!
5. Finally the thing that the Blog Dept. says is the MOST IMPORTANT THING,and is better than the AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD !!! "ALL THE DR.PEPPER I NEED".... ,because it has become one of the daily nutritional requirements.

Thats 7-5 and the COMPUTER STILL WINS !!!! :) :)

I HOPE THAT YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT TUESDAY !!!!! :) :) :) :)

WE'RE BACK!!!!!!!!

2008-07-07T12:46:00.000-05:00

Hello Everyone, Yes we are BACK!!!,and we had a wonderful time....

I think that you should be able to have a Vacation @ least once a Month...lol...lol...lol... or MORE!!!!!!! :)

Lets see , we got there @ 7pm Thurday evenning,since Dad had to work late. I told you that would probably be the case. When you WANT OFF EARLY,thats when they find other things that need done before leaving ,and thats the exact thing that happened to the dear hubby...... Poor Dear:(

Anyway since it was just Me and 1 Twin home the packing went smoother, @ least I was not fighting the UNPACKING DRAMA that the Twins usually do. Well ,Dad went and got Courtney from my mothers and then came home and we pulled out... 1/2 way there it STARTED RAINING !!!!! AAARRGGGG !!!, then it quit, when we got there it started again, and you should have seen Us trying to put the Pop-Up up in the rain!!!!!

Would you know it !!!, after we get the thing up it STOPS RAINING !!!,and did not rain the rest of the night...JUST OUR LUCK!!! with putting up the Camper I think....

We ate a light dinner since it was late ,and then sat out and watched the stars til even later... They were so beautiful!!!

Ok, Now the 4th is here.....and I think that the beach had Our name on it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol...lol...lol... We were there more than anywhere.
Now I didn't swim as much as the kids did ,because there were always get me this, get me that, and so I was needed elsewhere,but I did swim ,and did not get red... Well yet that is ....:)

It was a fairly cool day because there where storm clouds EVERYWHERE!!!,but the whole time that the kids did their swimming IT NEVER RAINED !!!

My Mother came with my 3 nieces and it was nice to have mom and the girls there,but sure as they left it RAINED AGAIN!!!! THIS TIME HARDER AND MUCH MORE!!!

They were going to come back and see the Fireworks with Us, but they decided not to after the Storms hit and OMG!!! THE WIND !!!!! IT ROCKED THE CAMPER ALL OVER THE PLACE...then it suddenly stopped YEAH!!!!! Just in time for th Fireworks!!!!!!

I got a Video with My Camera ... just a little few sec Video of what I thought was a FANTASTIC SIGHT!!!!!, Now I was called crazy and then some , but thats me!! :).

Anyway I got a Video of a "FULL RAINBOW", Now I know we have all seen a rainbow, but a full one @ lest here is a very rare sight and after the Storms that had just happened thats EXACTLY WHAT WE GOT TO SEE !!!!

IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL,and I think that its better in person, but the little video @ least shows it ,even though its not as good!!!

The "FIREWORKS' time is now ready by now ,and we are on the damn of the lake sitting in the back of the Truck in our lawn chairs and wrapped in a "BLANKET"... YES!!! you read that right ,IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO COLD ,My feet were NUMB !!!!

The Fireworks were great seeing over the water and they were more amazing then I thougt that they would be. we were on the damn a little over an hour and then it took a few more min, just to get off the damn the way that we were backed in!!!!

Ok!~ Now that we are @ the 5th of July this is where dear me gets REALLY RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL...LOL...LOL...LOL.....

My Mother came again with my nieces ,and we were back @ the beach, Today I would NOT SWIM ,because the beach was FULLER THAN I CARED TO BE IN, and thought that my attention would not be on the kids if I were in the water, so I along with the Dear Husband sat under a tree ... My Mother sat in the direct SUN,saying she needed it,NO ONE NEEDS IT MORE THAN ME!!!! I am the WHITE ONE , and she is the DARK ONE!!!

Well,She NEVER GOT RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ,I DID ....... UNDER A TREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW how in the world do you manage that one!!!!! :( :( :(

I hurt ALL OVER !!!, and moving makes it 10 times worse , but thats the way that things go for me , huh???????? OUCH!!!!!

Other than that there where no majors , like that was one, but the fact that I cooked!!! it HURTS!!! ,anyway WE HAD A BLAST!` , and I think that We all are ready for MORE!!!!

I will try to do a few layuts when I can, I came home to a BROKEN DOWN COMPUTER!!! :( , and CAN'T DO ANYTHING!~ , til I get it fixed!` so just bear with me . I will try to see what I can get done on Richard's Computer here, if I get the chance...

Until the next post and the layouts`!!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!` :)

WILL BE MIA A LITTLE LONGER !!!

2008-07-03T15:31:00.000-05:00

I am sorry that I have been MIA a few days , but I have been busy with the Blog Dept, and then 2 decided that they were taking their Vacations Together.lol....lol....lol...

My older 2 went to Waxahaxhie,and are there til the end of the week. I had my shares of crying time and then just when I thought that I was over it ... I started again........... When the Twins started it the day that the older 2 left...

Now that being the case Mom had to "ENTERTAIN', the Twins and thats better said than done!!!!! lol...lol...lol... :)

Then there was getting the things ready for Our Camping Trip!!!!!! yeah!!!! Todays the Day that we leave and Boy, are we ALL READY!!!!

I can't wait til Tommorow Night for the fireworks and the Ice Cream!!!!!.. I hope that ALL OF YOU HAVE A HAPPY AND SAFE FOURTH OF JULY!!!!! WE ARE!!! :)

We will see you all when we get back :) :) :) :)

A Big Texas Style Thank you and Welcome

2008-06-29T21:24:00.000-05:00

This beautiful little girl is Elli. Elli has offically been accepted by our Blog Dept. as our NEW T.S.S.(In training of course) :0)....lol...lol

A very special THANK YOU to Ina,Elli's Mom who made this beautiful card for Us. This card I am told was made with the "SummerField Kit" by Aprilmouse,and Hanulienka.

I met Ina a few weeks ago over at G.D.S. where she had posted comments to nearly EVERY LAYOUT that I had posted there. we have became really good friends,so I decided to start a Blog because of Ina and Elli became our T.S.S. (Technical Support Supervisor).... To understand the meaning behind the T.S.S look @ the Picture below. I think that you will UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY!!!!! :O)

Elli and her proud parents are from Finland,but were here in Texas for awhile ,before they went back home,so they are NO STRANGERS TO THE AREA !!!

PLEASE JOIN ME IN GIVING A "TEXAS STYLE" THANK YOU AND WELCOME TO THE TEAM !!!! TO ELLI AND HER MOM INA !!!

WELCOME

2008-06-28T20:29:00.000-05:00
