My last two scrapbook pages

I talked to SallyRose this evening and she wants to see my last two scrap book pages. So here they are.


This is Michayla at three moths old. I love this one!



This one is in Honor of Dan and Jacen working in Iraq. The inspiration came to me from the 4th of July play at church when they played the song "Soldier". Here are the lyrics:

Soldier
Some people say I'm a fighter
and some people hate what I do
But I stand for my country
I stand for you

I've got a family that loves me
And they respect what I do
And try telling your child You're leavin
Believe me its a hard thing to do

So if I die don't judge me
Cause I will not judge you
And if I die. Please accept it
Cause I would die for you

We have our reasons
Rules, Morals and beliefs
I won't slander your opinion
I'm just searching for peace.

So if I die don't judge me
Cause I will not judge you
And if I die, Please accept it
Cause I would die for you
I would die for you

Lyrics by Shawn Hlookoff

This is in the upper right of the page. In the middle at the bottom of the page I wrote:

Dan and Jacen served in the Army for 4 years. During that time Dan did a stint in Iraq while Jacen was in Baghdad. Even though they are not in the military now, they are both serving with the military. Dan left July 11th, 2007 to work in Iraq for 1 year. Jacen has been working in Iraq since February 2007.

This page made Larry cry when I showed it to him.

Not only have I been scrapbooking, I have also been making diaper cakes for baby showers. I made one for Nikki and one for a coworker. I wish I had taken pictures of them so I could show you what they looked like. They were a big hit at the showers. I was asked at my coworkers shower if I would take referals to make them. Of course I said yes. It would be kinda nice to make a little extra money on things like this. My next project is a towel cake for one of my coworkers Bridal Shower. I don't think I have ever been so crafty in my life as I am right now. I'm have'n fun! Larry got me a new craft table for the basement, which I really needed. I was working on two card tables and one of those was warped in the middle. When Erica was scrapping with me she had a hard time with it trying to cut her paper and all. I'm planning on having a Christmas card making group over on December 1st. I've already got pattern's for cards. I think that will be fun!


Well gotta go to bed. Its 10:22pm which is past my bedtime, but I was anxious to get this post done after talking to SallyRose. I especially wanted her to see the one of Dan and Jacen. I'll blog again soon as I have a lot to blog about!
