Digital Scrapbooking

I've completed another page for my digital scrapbook and I've added a link to the gallery where the pages can be viewed (under "Links" on the right). These pages are at a very low resolution and look much better on my computer. Eventually I'll actually print them out, but for now, they are in the computer.

And The Answer Is...


A couple of days ago I posted some granddaughter pictures and asked if anyone could pick out her favorite toy at my house. Well my daughter reminded me that I haven't posted the answer yet and she was correct.... It's the cat toy! Aunt Beth was so sweet to buy our new cat, Molly a toy when she was here. It's very shiny and makes a crunchy noise. Unfortunately for the cat, she didn't like it at all. She refused to even touch it and ran the other way when we throw it to her. It was laying on the floor when Faith came over and she grabbed it up and started squeezing it. She giggled and immediately loved it. Now when she's here it's the first thing she goes after in the whole pile of toys and she carries it around in her little hand when she's crawling. She plays with the other toys, but that cat toy is always close by. It's funny how the kids love the darnest things.

Here she is on the move and you can see the little cat toy in her hand. She's become very good and crawling and holding onto that toy at the same time!

Busy with Granddaughter Things

If you go to www.mombrinton.com you can see that Faith, Rachel, and I went to a local pumpkin patch (Carrigan Farms for the locals) and took pictures (over 800 or so) and Faith loved it! She really didn't like being picked up out of the pumpkins when we were ready to move to a new location. That's probably why we ended up with so many pictures! While she's pictured with a long sleeve shirt, it was actually over 80F here that day. We had a day or so of cool weather and it's back to higher than normal temperatures. (Great dyeing weather if I could get some time.) We also finally had one very brief day of one and off rain showers the first one we've had since August I believe. Everything is very very dry around here with the lakes and ponds very low.

I've also been working on digital scrapbooking. I'm trying to learn how to do it and all of the lingo that goes along with the hobby. To see my first page, go to Scrapgirls.com Use this link, because typing it in will only take you to the website in general. The link should take you to the gallery that I've registered for where other digital scrapbookers post their pictures. It's a page I made using only free items from the scrapgirls website and the little bit of Photoshop Knowledge that I have. The page is about a new outfit that I made for Faith. It's suppose to be a light jacket for when we do get some chilly days around here. It better not go straight into winter!
