Just a note to tell you what I have been up to since I last posted. Some of you may know that last year(actually almost 2 years ago), I have been working with my partner with Sterling Partnerships to get a Neutraceutical company started. It has a good ROI, and even in slow economic times supplements do well. We officially started this business a year ago, had some investors come in with us at the end of January. Received our first 2 products the end of March, with another due the end of this month.
In between, we have been busy with our property back East, 3 weeks back there. With a lot of help from friends and relatives (Thank You)! We also have been working with another couple in bringing LifeLight Festival to Colorado and had our first outside concert at the end of August.
Now, we had a couple of super affiliates approach us to campaign our ads and emails for our business. The business we are in is CleanseToThin, Inc. doing business as Core Health Innovations, which is the banner ad that is on this blog and why it is on my blog. We have had amazing results with people who are Leptin resistant. It is a niche product and Leptothin really only works for people who are leptin resistant. We also have a cleanse product, that is very gentle, works during the night and you are not afraid to go about your regular day activities while using it.
Our son has told us that he has asked his girlfriend Liz to be his wife (woo hoo!!). Just found out last week that the company he has been working for as a contract worker, wants him to come on with them, a NICE raise.
Our oldest granddaughter started 7th grade this year, makes me feel really old.... Our youngest is in 5th grade this year. We just helped with school fund raisers, and had a nice picnic with our son-in-law's mother on labor day.
I think that brings you up to date, with where we are at. I plan on posting some pictures and scrapbook pages in the next week or two. Thanks for stopping by....

It's been awhile
Well, I don't know what to say except it has been extremely busy with this new business I am a partner in. As well as going back to Pennsylvania to work on our house that we are building there. I used to say, that I was going on vacation, but it is not a vacation. We work from the time we get up till the time we go to bed almost every day that we are there. This year was no exception, although we did get to see our youngest neice on the Himelein side graduate. We went and watched the Findley Lake, fireworks, and went to our best friends' grandson's 16 year birthday party. But, those were squeezed in and we were so tired, I don't know if I really remember much about them.
Then, this year, I hurt myself while helping with the house. It was really stupid, but I was helping to hold a board that was heavier than I should have been trying to hold. Gordy was telling me to back up, and we had holes that had been drilled (not the right word) for posts for the porch that were open and I backed into it. My whole right leg went into the hole, as it was 4 1/2 feet deep. I twisted my ankle and my hips, because Gordy was holding the rest of the board, I had to help myself out of the hole. It's been almost two months, and it's getting better, but still very sore.
My oldest granddaughter started middle school this year. My youngest granddaughter at this point is starting 5th grade. It's so hard to see them grow up, yet exciting as well. My beautiful daughter, celebrated her birthday last night and we had a good time with her family. Her husband surprised her, because she thought he was working and he put it all together for everyone to come in except for us, we got there early. She thought her Dad, and I were taking her and the girls out to eat. It was cool to see her face as everyone showed up at the same time.
I have been scrapbooking, but not as much as I probably should have been. I will post some pages this weekend. I also ordered a new camera, it is a panasonic lumex FZ-30; I can't wait until it gets here..... I am hoping sometime this weekend or the first of next week. The pictures it takes are wonderful. One of my partners in our business, has one, and lent it to me for when we were back East. The pictures were awesome, as my other partner always says. I am hoping to get some of my recent pictures put in scrapbook pages soon, but I am also working on heritage pages. We'll see which one wins out this weekend.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Card and Pool Party
Another pool picture, my granddaughters are loving the fact they have a pool at their apartments. So, they are having a lot of pool parties this year.
This was a make and take card class that Pam Smerker had at Scrapbook Destinations. We had a lot of fun, as we always do with Pam. I got to meet a few new people, and a couple have developed a friendship.

Cassie Nichols - and Annie & Emi at the pool 2008
Then we volunteered at our first Colorado Life Light Festival that Paul and Candi Sage put together. Dawn and the girls helped as well as got to be at the concert. We had Vota (formerly known as Casting Pearls) there. Not a large gathering but was the first year without much notice, so couldn't get the word out as much as would have liked to.
Here are some scrapbook pages from last year, 2008 with friends and family at the pool. We got to have our neice Cassie Nichols join us last year for a day at the pool. We don't get to see her very much, but love her lots!!! Then, of course our granddaughters, way too cute!! Mom and Dad are going to have their hands full in a couple of years.

February 2008 - Girls Dance Recital
These are pages I did for my granddaughters dance recital last year, I just got them done a week or so ago. Emi is our dancer, she has always had a natural knowledge of a beat. For Annie, dancing is a little more challenging, but she is also good at it. All of these pages I have used either creative memories or basic gray paper, and cm stickers, as well as K & C stickers.

My Neice's in Nebraska, 2008-February
Here are a couple of pages I did recently on my 2008 scrapbook. Summer is my neice by marriage, a beautiful girl. She is such a big help to my brother, with his wife's health issues. Plus his health issues. We are so lucky that she is part of our family.
My other neice is Cheyenne, she is Rita's and Mickey's daughter, born in January and is just a little younger than my oldest granddaughter Cheyanne. Mickey calls her Nanner, not sure why... My parents say she is a lot like I was growing up, poor thing. She is a cutey, can't wait to see what she will grow up to be.
I used mostly Creative Memories Paper, some stickers I believe from K and Company, the hearts and stars are from CM punches.

Our Dog Rory
Here are some pictures of our dog. I say our's because my daughter and granddaughters, include her as theirs as well. I had been saying for a while I wanted to get a puppy, but never could commit to doing it, or get my husband to say yes. We had a couple of really good dogs, during our marriage. Buffy, who was a puppy of my parents dog, Brandy. She was 14, and our daughter was 13 when we had to put her down. She had lost the ability to hold her bladder and her sight was going. Then about a year later, my daughter convinced me to go to the pound, and we found a puppy whose tummy was so big, that when she tried to stand up in the cage she would fall over. My daughter was instantly in love, with her. Her name was Skeeter. My daughter through her teen years, college, and marriage; had her dog intermittently with us taking care of her when she couldn't. A few years ago, when the dog was about 13 years old, she just wandered away. We are not sure what happened to her. But, our oldest granddaughter was quite heartbroken.
In between, we had two puppies, cocoa and mitzi. Both at the same time, BIG Mistake!! They dug up Gordy's yard he put so much work into. They destroyed all kinds of things. Eventually, we gave them both away. So, we were a little burned out on the animal thing, at the time.
Then Gordy started working longer hours, and my hours got shorter. It was hard being by myself so much of the time. That's when we got Rory.
She is a Jack Russell Terrier, very smart, very fun, always getting into trouble. But, she has brought a lot of joy back into our lives. She gives us something to love, that loves us back. She gives us somebody to play with, and walk, and talk to. Even though, she was my puppy, she seems to be more my husbands'. One of Dawn's cat's (Bella) is in the pictures, she has the same personality as Rory. They both think they are the Queen of the house, so when they are together, it's a fun time to be had by all. Here are some pictures of her on scrapbook pages, hope you enjoy.

2009 Calendar Scrapbook pages
Here are the pages I completed, some are more done than others, but when you start this and just want to finish(at least when I do). You get to a point where you are just done. Anyway, most of these pages are all creative memories, with a few stickers from other sources, that I don't quite remember. Hope you enjoy!!
