Ahoy! Maties!


This is the layout I will be teaching in June at our Local Scrap Book Store, Roberts in Provo, Utah. I had so much fun creating this layout. I will post directions after the class. Come and join us.

Recipe book for Summer swap

I created this recipe book for my friend in a Summer swap. I used Mickey and Friends Cricut Cartridge to make the diner, back ground paper is Adornit Carolee's Creations Love Bug Collection~Lady Bug Fly, HOuse Mouse stamps, Prisma Color Pencils, Cousins Bits and Pieces Bag of Mixed Rhinesones, and Royal/opal KENDRA ribbon from Offray Ribbon.









Summer Titles

Just in time for summer (well or so we all hope it is coming) I made 5 summer titles for a friend in a summer swap. I used House Mouse stamp, Peechy Keen face stamps, Prisma color pensils, Gamsol mineral spirits, Jolee's stickers and lots of fun to make them.

Awesome Disney layouts kits created around the world

As I mentioned earlier, I have been hosting Disney Book Layout swaps. The following pictures are from Book one. The creators are listed by them. I have used their Cricut message board names. Thanks Cricut sisters for doing these kits. It was fun being your hostess and I am looking forward to the other 4 books to come in.

MOLD MOLD MOLD and MORE MOLD! Please no more motels!






On March first we had to leave our home due to mold. It seems (although the insurance company and others can't agree) that our roof had damage and allowed water into our home without knowing. When we discovered it, our ceiling in our kitchen was sagging with water and mold had filled one wall. What a mess! We had to leave the home for health reasons so it could be taken care of. I am severely allergic to mold as well as my mother who lives with us. We stayed in a motel for 18 days. The bill was $4000. The repairs for the home are about $7500 not including the repairs for the roof. and the insurance would not pay for motel and not even half of the repairs. We had the mold removed so we could move home but the repairs are not finished. Somehow we have to work through repairing them on our own. Removing the mold cost $2400. Here are a few pictures of the mold damage. There are more pictures to more damage other places on the roof but I don't have access to them at this time. We also had to have an exterminator to get rid of mice there were attracted by the water. YUCK!
