Giving Thanks --------- Quick-Page 2 ------------------freebie

I made another page of my dear Jose.  I don't have any pics from this year not only because it's a sad time for me right now but also because I tried hard to make it good but ended up nearly burning my Thanksgiving dinner.  Yes, I say nearly but I think that "God" interveined somehow.  Because it should have been burnt to a crisp. 

I had stayed up late the night before but decided to lay down anyway and set my clock for 4am.  It went off and I got the turkey in the oven by 5:15am.  Good to go, right?  Well, I then reset my clock for 7am.  I got up then and basted the Turkey - the temp was at almost 160 degrees.  Was looking great.  So I decided to put my stuffing in the oven too and then set my alarm for about 9:30am to take everything out.  Fail safe plan right.

Well, my alarm either never went off or I just didn't hear it.  Been working for like forever at work trying to get the store ready for Thanksgiving and I was pretty tired.  (I work at a grocery store in the bakery 40hrs a week)  Can you guess what time I got up?  It was at 1PM! 

I was so angry with myselt.  Even cried some because I ruined dinner for not just me (which wouldn't have been a bad thing for me) but I ruined it for my brother.  He was in our craft room working and heard me say a few things I can't mention.  He later came in to see what was wrong.

I told him I ruined Thanksgiving for him.  I felt bad because he had stayed here with me for Thanksgiving instead of going to our families house 3hrs away because he didn't want to leave me by myself.  What a great brother.  Anyway, he said it couldn't be that bad.  (My turkey was in there for 8hrs and the stuffing 6hrs).   I asked him why he didn't wake me and he said he thought I had it all under control.  Then I noticed there was no burnt smell or anything.  (Remember I had just got a new oven)  So he took it out and we checked it.  The wings were pretty much toast but almost all the breast meat and all the dark meat were fine.  The dark me was really juicy!  My stuffing wasn't even burnt exept a little bit around the edged touching the foil.  So it was all fine.  We had a great meal.  We cooked mashed potatoes and brocolli with cauliflour.  Awesome.

I know God must have been there that day but now that I think of it. 

Maybe my Jose was there watching out for me a little bit too. 

Or maybe I have a really great oven.

I'll take all three please!

So here's a layout from 2006 on Thanksgiving the first year we had Shaylee.  She even got her own plate.

"New Years Eve" qp2 freebie!

Ok,
I know it's been a long time since New Years but I'm still trying to scrap my Jo pics. Also, I had to do some layouts for ScrapitSassy and I decided to use my own kits and I chose this one. I joined the Secret Sassy Program and this week we are talking about layouts. I just hope she likes mine.

Don't forget my new kit in the store.
"Red Light, Green Light"




So I made quickpages out of my layouts.
Yours will look just like it of course without the photo, year and message.

Kiss Me - Quick Pages 3 and 4.

I just wanted everyone to know that I am now only selling at ScrapitSassy.
I decided that it was just too much for me to try to keep up with both stores. Way too overwhelming. So, I'm just exclusive at ScrapitSassy.



PLUS there is only one day left of February so don't forget all the sales for our 2nd year anniversary at ScrapitSassy. All my products 40% off.



Here are 2 more quick-pages from my Kiss Me kit.
They are much more elegant than the last too showing how versatile my kit can be. Hope you enjoy them. Here are my layouts.

These photos were taken by my Best Friend Lori's Granddaughter Ashleigh. As you can see we are looking down. I think I got the year wrong though. Because Ashleigh is only 5 now and she couldn't have taken them as a baby. But she was very young and little. LOL. Oh well, I'll have to get with Lori on that but I thank our little Ashleigh so much for the wonderful photos.



I think these photos were taken in Corpus while we were on vacation. We went to the oyster bar and watched a band play music outside. It was really fun. I'm gonna miss my Jose. Don't know what I'm gonna do without him. He definitely made my own boring life interesting.



and Here are your pages!
