Bike Week

Frank recently started taking photographs for the Biker Information Guide. AZ Bike Week started Friday night with the kick off at Chester's in Mesa. Yesterday the founder of the Biker Information Guide - Kimmy Chapman was killed less than a mile from our house. It was a very sad night for us, she was a special lady & the biker community is losing a gem.

They are very cute. I havent been on in so long, I have so much fun stuff to share. First let me show you my pages & then check out the tips section & the card share website as well for or Soldiers over seas.

Scrapbooking

My sister lost a very close friend. Her best friend's husband died last month. It was a very sad day for all of us Sherwin was a wonderful man. Him and his wife Dawn came to Arizona on a surprise trip with my sister & her husban Bret. Surprise to me that is. We had a great weekend, went hiking, Frank took them to the lake while my sister & I made cards, we attend a superbowl party together. Everytime I went to MN they were there to "visit" with us.

Dawn is not a scrapbooker, so my sister has asked several of us to make a couple of pages to put in a book for Dawn to remember her time with her husband. It has been a sad week/weekend for me. I started scrapbooking after my Mom died & I realized all I had left of my parents were photos. This week like so many others weeks that I have had scrapbooking was therapy. Making a tribute to someone who has shared your life. I have come to believe it's a good thing. Here are the pages I came up with. I hope Dawn loves them as much as I loved putting them together for her. Plus two pages for me.

Spring

I just spent a wonderful day stamping with the "ladies". We had a wonderful day. I am not sure how productive it was for everyone. But we visited and ate all day. Joyce provided yummy poppyseed muffins & Claudia & Barbara brought Pizza for lunch.

I dont usually get anything finished, but today I completed 10 Thank you cards & have several more to complete the rest of the day.

It's a wonderful 80 degrees today. The house is open & spring is in the air.

It's amazing how much better I fell when I stamp with the "ladies" they are a s

pecial group.
