Bella LOVES to go fwimmin. She had a blast at Aunt “biz’s” fwimmin pool” she grinned larger than her face would let her. She laughed she shot water guns at Greyson. (she would say COME MEYAH RAYSON SO BELLA CAN CHUTE EWE”) SHe had a big time. NOW she is wanting us to get a fwimmin pwool” I told her that was AUnt Liz’s special thing for her house we didnt need a swimming pool. She told me ” well I wanna go aunt Biz’s house den.” I told her she is going to go back for a whole week while mommy is gone to Arlington. She replied OK, You weeve da pwool at aunt biz’s house for Bella go fwimmin” I guess she thought the pool was going too. IT is amazing what goes through a 3 year old mind. We are getting ready for a HUGE pay off da medical bill and other bills garage sale lol. I have a TON of stuff kids stuff if someone needed things for a little girl THEY WOULD BE IN HEAVEN at this garage sale cuz we have everything. I really think we do. I have sorted stuff till Im sick of it. BUT much much more to do. Im going to hit it hard this evening when it cools off some IT IS WAY TOO HOT out there right now. I have been cleaning out closets today and bellas is the major one. Kids stuff seems to be the hot item and WE HAVE TONS of outgrown clothes toys and books. I have a few scrapbook things that will be in there too but mainly it will be kids stuff. Ok IM OFF to price things hOpe you had a memorable memorial day and took a few minutes to think of the loved ones in the service that are fighting for our country and the rights of others right now. I know they miss their families and we could never repay the debt we owe to them. My hat is off to them and a BIG THANK YOU TO THEM TOO!

LOOK JEANNE!!!


I used your photo for the challang in a layout! aren’t cha proud? Yeah I figured youw ould be. I think it looks more like she is falling than a tilted photo.. but HEY IT was my first time be gentle hehehehe

the journaling is just mushy stuff talking about how she is now a little lady and growing up so fast and I want her to walk slower through our lives so we can savour each moment.. you know all that kinda mushy stuff she can read later and roll her eyes at.

Ms paper arts closing :(

WELL I don’t believe it BUT I KNOW it must happen IM sad but Im happy IM mixed in emotion. Mississippi paper arts.. the physical store is going out of business…. I knew it was going to happen. SHe is pregnant and going through alot right now and she just can’t do it all. SHe wants to focus on the web business and make the web site rockin and get the store hoppin’. I support her completely. Plus she needs to be home with her kids and the new baby coming. The dr is putting her on bed rest and it is hard to run a store from a bed behind the register. IF I didnt live in Alabama I would run it for her. Heck I even thought of buying it myself but I know physically I just cannot do it. My health goes through goods and bads and I know the stress and I DONTWANNA. SOOoooooOOooooooo…. IM gonna do her last blast crop for her. I have to be up there anyway with all the family stuff that has been happening (and what else do I have to do these days) Bella and I are leaving in the morning. We have to help carrie with some stuff anyway so why not let the grammas REVEL in their joy of seeing the grandbaby and me stay out of their hair and at my one true love. Mspaperarts. YES her online store is gonna stay open and YES she will still do conventions and YES the online site will still be rockin as usual. JUSt there wont be a physical store anymore. SO YOU MIGHT wanna check out her site she has SOOOO MUCH STUFF marked down IT IS INCREDIBLE! check it out at www.mspaperarts.com just tell em nancy sent ya 😉

Little girl in pretty dresses and wrinkly noses

How could you not just love this face! WE were all set for church she says TAKED MY PITTFUR mommmeeeee! SO of course I coudlnt resist that! THis is just one shot BUT I LOVE how her little nose wrinkles when she is giggling. Nothing sweeter than little girls in pretty dresses with bows in their hair and pearls. I dress her up while she lets me… I know it wont be long she will not be so thrilled haha.
