Merry Christmas!

I love Christmas. . . but this year I just didn't want to put up our big tree with all the usual trappings.    This is my little tree in the family room.  This one may just have to stay up until soldier son gets home!

Okay then, I'm back . . .

After computer problems, blogger problems and various technical difficulties I'm back!  If you're still with me, the first thing I would like to do is share my first class of 2011.   

Preserving the Past will be back.  Ladies {and occasionally a gentleman}, we've been "Preserving the Past" since 2003!  I can hardly believe it!   So here it is . . . we will create a 2 Page Layout each month perfect for your Heritage Scrapbook!   Even if you don't have old photos, many of these layouts are suitable for your everyday scrapbooks.  

 This month . . . we will be using gorgeous Pink Paisley Queen Bee Papers.  We will create a small flip book and do a little stamping & embossing.

Bring your basic supplies PLUS:  Ranger Archival Coffee Ink
                                                        Embossing Ink
                                                        Gold Embossing Powder
                                                        Tombow Glue Pen for letters

We were only gone 6 days but the 3 of us had great adventure.  Between us Adam and I took 2000 photos.  We saw wildlife, panoramic views, snow?, we even saw some kids skiing.  Did some shopping, check out Longs peak!  2 of my favorite thing coffee and paper!  We hiked 6 miles to this amazing lake and rented a jeep to see some real back country!  Scary!  We enjoyed cool weather with lows in the 40's too.  The only thing missing was soldier son!  Can't wait to take him to Colorado some day!  Miss you Zachary . . .

Long time, no post

Well, between the toothache, the PAWS Meet Me in St Louis Rertreat and my soldier son leaving for IRAQ . . .

Anyway wanted to share a photo of Zack just before boarding the plane.

He made a face for the camera, good to know his sense of humour is intact, Right?  I did get to hear from him after he arrived . .. yeah he posted on my Facebook Wall!  He didn't want to wake us up with a phone call.  He sure did get polite here recently . . .

Another photo to share . . . I have been lucky enough to be a part of an online group since about 2000.  It began as a motivational scrapbooking group called PAWS (page a week scrapbookers).  for several years they have had a retreat and this year I co hosted a retreat for PAWS @ For Keeps Sake.
One of our members is a professional photographer and she took a couple of great photos for us:

That's all I have for now except for even though it's hot in St Louis it's over 116 where my boy is now. . .

Happy 4th of July!

I know the day is almost over but I wanted to wish all my family and friends a Happy 4th! 

Mine has been miserable with a toothache and my DH in Georgia picking up soldier son's car before he deploys to Iraq next week~anyway that's how mine has gone!

Tomorrow's another day!  Hopefully, Happy July 5th!

Another July Class!

For Memorial Day

“I am the Mother of an American Soldier”

I give my complete and unwavering support to my Soldier. As my Son serves the people of the United States, so I humbly offer up my prayers for his safety and the safety and health of those he serves beside.

I respect his choice to adhere to a strict moral code and system of values that has preserved our great country for over two centuries. I accept that my Soldiers first duty is to his country and I understand that his sacrifice he willingly makes is what keeps our Nation great.

I will never expect anything but the best from my Soldier for I know he is capable. I know that a Soldier’s heart is true and strong, and that my Soldier will endure.

I will never abandon my Soldier, my son. I will love him unconditionally. He will know that I am there for him, even when he is alone. I am disciplined, emotionally and mentally tough, learning to wait for phone calls and letters or emails home.

I, like my soldier am an expert. I stand ready to do whatever I can do to let my son know that we are here for him beside him, we love him and I will pray for him and I will pray for the swift destruction of the enemies of our country,

I am the person who stood guardian of this man who has become my soldier, now our guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

“I am the Mother of an American Soldier”.

anonymous

He's home . . .

He drove through the night and stopped by work to surprise me, dressed in uniform, just for me. . . Soldier son home for pre-deployment leave. It's good to see my boy . . .
