5 LO's for Debbie/Wyscrapper's 6pm challenge

Here's mine. I did 5 LO's that show my life altering moments.
My life altering moments are getting married to my high school sweetheart. He filled my life with laughter, sweet kisses and friendship. He's my other half and I'd be lost without him. It's amazing to think back on all the years we've been together. To see our children grown and having children of their own. We'll be married 32 years on Oct. 16 and I look forward to another 32 years with my special man.
Married 3 years and not ready for children. My DR. decided to take me off the pill after 2 years or so and I became pregnant. I still think HE planned his patients pregnancies this way. The birth of our first child, our son. New to parenthood, it was a challenge when he became asthmatic. From the age of 6 months and on he was always sick. On meds that made his heart race and his chest pound with each beat. Our second child was born, a girl. Little tiny thing with beautiful big eyes. She was the active one. On the go, bumping into walls. Our son was active but had asthma attacks that made him slow down. I had my hands full with two kids in diapers that were 1 1/2 years apart. And with the schedule my DH worked I kinda took care of the kids on my own, expecially when they were small. Now our children are grown up. 
Our DD gave us our first grandson. We're we ready for that. Hell no! Not at all. But we fell in love with our tiny grandson. He filled our life with laughter, wet kisses and the best hugs in the world. Its a completely different experience being a grandparent. Alot less responsibilities. And he keeps us on our toes with how hyper he is and always wanting to play something. 
We also adopted our DD's, boyfriends son. He's the complete opposite of grandson #1. Grandson #2 is quieter most of the time, likes to copy everything #1 does and is a little sneaker in most ways. But we've come to love him as our own.

AMR CROP W/AMANDA PROBST ON 10-11

AMANDA PROBST was the guest DT at AMR Saturday the 11th.  We had a blast chatting with her and asking lots of questions.  She posted a challenge to go to her blog and pick one of her sketches to lift.  Here's mine and Amanda's sketch is below.  I've never been able to copy a person's LO exactly and found out I couldn't on a sketch either.  The basic part of the sketch is there, I just move a few things around and added 2 tag books which I've left out to show what they look like.  This is my DGS's at karate, their both wearing blue.  Sorry the picture is fuzzy but it works best when other people are in the pictures.  Check out AMANDA PROBST'S BLOG and see all her awesome creations.   TFL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>PattiM

CHALLENGE AT ALL MOMENTS REMEMBERED!

Here's a LO I did for the challenge at AMR.  A LO about me.  Here's the journaling:

My name is XXXXXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX and I’m 49 years old.  My maiden name is XXXXX.  My nickname is Patti.  I am a daughter, sister, wife, friend, aunt, mother & mema. I am sweet, caring, loving, spoiled, thankful, lucky and blessed but I also have the flip side of each.  I met the love of my life in highschool and we married during my senior year.  We’ve been married 32 years on October 16th and have 2 children.  I had our first child at 20 and our second child at 22 years old.  Our son is 29 and just bought a house with his fiance.  Our daughter is 3 months from being 28 and lives with us, along with her boyfriend. We now have 2 grandsons, one is our daughter’s son (J) who just turned 6 and the other is her boyfriend’s son (A) who will turn 5 in December.  I’ve been a stay-at-home Mom, chef, laundress, chauffeur, gardner, teacher, dishwasher, gadget fixer, dog & cat caretaker and more.  We have lived in the high desert for 23 years and bought our first house in 1985.  

My Dad has lived with us since 1991. We have a 1 year old female boxer named, Pebbles.  Her affection and love melts your heart.  I call her my dog even though she’s ours.  I have lived in California my whole life but traveled when I was younger with my family during my Dad’s drag racing years, which is how he made his living.  I love traveling with my handsome & loving husband, enjoying the time we spend together.  My family is important to me and I love every minute I spend with them but I also enjoy being with my husband alone, too.  But part of me loves being on my own in my scrapspace where I get lost among the paper, my ATG, prismacolor pencils, stamps, embellishments and glue.  I create and am spired by my fellow scrappers everyday.  My favorite place to be on my computer is All Moments Remembered, an online scrapbook store and forum owned by Stacey.  I’ve developed lasting relationships with my cyber friends that have become family since I joined AMR in December 2007. 

If we’re at home I’m in one of four places.                           

1.  Spending time with my family   2.  Spending time with my Dad   3.  At my computer spending time with my cyber family.  4.  Playing with my dog.  I started a blog this year where I’ve posted my creations and family news. I named it Scrapping Is My Passion. I’ve had over 5,000 visitors since I started posting.  I’m involved in challenges, contests, crops and scrap chat hours.  This is who I am.  Who or what will I be doing in the next 30 years?  Come back then and see the layout I make in 2038.  Wow, think about that date!

Supplies:

PP-Cosmo Cricket, Flueriste

Skittles-My skittles jar

Window charm-Close to my heart.

BEAUTIFUL WORK ON HIS NOTE CARD!

Look at the detail.  This was hand drawn and cut out by Jeffery Rudell.

Look at this gorgeous note card that Jeffery Rudell created.  Talk about a piece of art.  How would you like to receive this beautiful note card in the mail?  I know I would be thrilled to find this in my mailbox.   He says, it took just over an hour to cut out but I think it would take me alot longer since it looks so delicate.  If you go to his blog, he has instructions on how to do this.

No card or Lo today.  I was busy cleaning our bedroom and my scrap area.  Took all day to do.  Plus, I watched the grandkids so DD could drive DH to pick up our car.  Had 30 thousand mile service done.  

Tomorrow evening, I'll be going to watch my 2 grandson's in karate.  Whacking at the air.  LOL  The first day was so cute but soooo funny.  They both had lots of fun and followed along pretty good.  Can't wait to see them in their Gi's.  Now, if I could just learn how to use my camera that I've had for about a year.  Dang if I can remember the settings or get them right.  

Hope everyone has a great day.
