Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"An open home, an open heart, here grows a bountiful harvest."

~"Gobble til you wobble."  

~"Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting."

~"Of all the attitudes we can acquire, surely the attitude of gratitude is the most important and by far the most life-changing." (Zig Ziglar)    

~"Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege." (John D. Rockefeller, Jr.)

~"Give thanks for sorrow that teaches you pity; for pain that teaches you courage- and give exceeding thanks for the mystery which remains a mystery still- the veil that hides you from the infinite, which makes it possible for you to believe in what you cannot see." (Robert Nathan) 

I thought I would share some "Thanksgiving" type quotes today. Since I was just working on pumpkin patch pictures using the Dreamin' paper pack and the stickers. (which I will be sharing tomorrow) And, I shared the video showing Thanksgiving cards yesterday I thought I'd stay with that theme. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards. So enjoy the quotes!

Batteries Don't Want To Work For Me!!!

So, over the weekend I went to a crop and had a fun time hanging out with my scrapbook buddies. I got a bunch of pages done...but when I went to take some photos today the batteries decided to not work. And, because I want to share a few pictures...I can't...no more batteries in the house. So, I've been looking around at other websites to fill in time and I found a cool place to check out and thought I would share it with you guys. "Creating Keepsakes" has a bunch of free downloads. You can check them out HERE! I thought you might like some of them. There seems to be a bunch with quotes and ideas on making scrapbook layouts. So, go check them out and then go to my website to order whatever you'll need to make the projects! Have fun and create!   

Our Electric Was Out For 10 Hours! Crazy huh?!

So, if you haven't heard...the West Coast (Approx. 1.4 million homes/ business customers) lost electricity. It went out around 3:30pm yesterday and our home didn't get back up until 1:45am...yes, 10 hours later! My cell phone was sometimes working, sometimes not. The electric went out from parts of Mexico, parts of California, to parts of AZ. We had grilled chicken by candlelight and then took the dog for a family walk with a flashlight and solar garden light. Kids are off from school today too...which is good since it was hot with no fans or a/c to sleep with. But, we are now back up and running...doing good! The only thing I was really bummed about was I wanted to scrapbook last night and couldn't really do it by candlelight...just not enough light. So, with the excitement going on here I have no artwork to share but I am going to a crop tomorrow so I should have some fun stuff to share next week. So, make sure to check back!  

Quote Book ~ Quotes To Add To Your Book

I thought I would do the quotes today to add to your quote book...

~"Sandy toes & salty kisses."

~"Ocean treasures left on the shore, nature's gift to adore."  

~"Voyage upon life's sea, to yourself be true, and, whatever your lot may be, paddle your own canoe."

~"Beach- Sand, Surf, and Sunshine."    

~"At the beach, just another day in paradise!"

I thought I would share some "Beach/Ocean" type quotes today. It has been so hot here lately all I want to do is go to the beach and get sandy. I keep picturing my family hanging out on the beach and building sand castles (wishful thinking right now)! Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards. So enjoy the quotes!

Typeset Thank You Cards ~ Cute Cards!

I thought I would share a few "Thank You" cards I made. I used a few scraps I had from the "Wings" paper pack and a piece from the "Typeset" paper pack. I am planning to use them to thank my children's teachers. We had Back-To-School night last week and I wanted to let them know I appreciated being able to come in to school, in the evening, to see the classrooms and find out what will be going on this school year. I think it's important to give thanks to those in your life. They give of themselves so much all day...and then fit this in too. I thought if they can go the extra step...a "Thank You" is in order. Hopefully they will like the cards.

I've had a few people buy this stamp set and the Cricut Art Philosophy Collection (Z1686) so I thought this would be a great video to share with everyone. They show you how to make a really cute flower for a scrapbook page...but it would also be great to add onto cards too! So, sit back and enjoy the video!

~"Dogs come when they're called; Cats take a message and get back to you later."

~"Love is a four legged word."  

~"Any woman who thinks diamonds are a girl's best friend never had a dog."

~"If your dog thinks your the greatest, don't seek a second opinion."

I thought I would share some "dog/cat" type quotes today. Lately I've "liked" a bunch of pages on Facebook having to do with animal rescues. I think they are good causes...and feel like I could use some good Karma in my life. Also, My daughter is in Girl Scouts and we (hopefully) will be getting more involved with animal rescues soon. Anyway, don't forget to stop back again for more quotes next week...and I wanted to add...no idea who or where I got these quotes...I've been saving them to use for my scrapbook pages / cards.
