Grandparents

This is a layout that I did for my Grand kids' scrapbooks. I barely remember my Grandma Reilly and my Grandpa Reilly died before I was born. I think I would have liked them. My Grandfather was a Doctor in Grand Island, a town near me. My Grandmother was a sharp-dressed lady and that's about all I remember. They had a beautiful house and every year we would travel there for a few days in the summer. We lived in Denver, so it was a pretty good drive. My Dad would usually travel at night. It was cooler and we all (8 of us plus a very large dog!) would sleep on the way there and not fight. "Mom she's looking at me!" You know, that kind of thing. lol Awww...the good 'ole days! 

I've been tagged!

Never heard of getting tagged? Me either. But it sounds fun. My friend Alison sent me this. You really should check out her blog. She is so talented & a real hoot!
Anyway, on with the Q & A:
Names you are known by: umm...OK, I'll tell you. Since I was a little girl, my family has called me Smidge.  I think I got that name because I was the youngest & smallest in the family. Well, time has not been kind to me & I am no longer the smallest. But, I have still kept the name. :)

Places I have lived: I grew up in beautiful Colorado! I now live in Nebraska & have for over 30 years. But I still miss the mountains in Colorado. 

Places I have worked: I have done just about everything. Life can be short, so I guess I like trying lots of things. I have worked at a Veterinary Clinic, Post Office, Worked with the Developmentally Disabled & in a factory. I am now going to school to be a Nursing Assistant.

Things I watch: I don't watch much TV. But I do like "The Closer" & Home Improvement shows.

Things I love to eat: I love soups & salads. I also have a thing for chocolate. My favorite drink is Pepsi.

People to pass this on to: 
I am going to send this to 3 people that I find very interesting & talented...

Snow day

It has been snowing ALL day! I knew we'd pay for all that nice weather we've had. :( It's been coming down in big flakes & doesn't show any signs of stopping. I think we've gotten about 10" today. It's real fluffy stuff...and if you have ever lived in Nebraska, you know the wind is going to blow! Oh well, I am thankful that I have a nice warm place to call, "home". My son moved some of the snow, in case I needed to get out, but I think I'm staying right here. I have been working on a few projects, in my craft room today. I am sure that there will not be school tomorrow, so I have a project planned for my grand kids. Think we'll make Valentines for them to exchange at school. I was sooo excited to see one of my cards featured on the Designed2Delight blog! Faith has some fabulous digi's to work with there. If you like free stuff, they have a progressive challenge, with a new digi every week. Crafting With Deedee's Digis is also a wonderful place to visit. She is a very talented artist. They also have a progressive challenge. Her latest freebie is "You Melt My Heart". I had a blast making that project. Be sure to check it out in my older posts. later...b.
