my brother is home visiting (from Guam, where he is stationed)
and my friend Cathy (the one who introduced me to scrapbooking!!) is here visiting. i won't be around much until Monday evening, when I plan to do a Memorial Day post.
i hope you all have a beautiful weekend filled with lots and lots
of laughter and love and blessings.
and if you get a chance, pop over to sweet Jennifer's blog, she is participating in a blog hop for Cards for Heroes.
xoxo
Enjoy you company and have a wonderful weekend.
Love the pictures.

Have a wonderful weekend! My family and I lived in Guam for over 13 years before moving statesides (or the "mainland" as we Islanders call it)! Hope your weekend will be full of memories to scrap! =)

Hello Stephanie,
I came across your blog from Jennifer's whose on the same blog hop for Memorial day that I am, I must say I never left your blog lol, I laughed and cried with you and wanted you and your husband to know your children are so adorable..well Harper is as I've only seen her videos so far. I'll have to come back another day to see it all.
I can emphathise with you about feeling down when your hubby leaves, mine leaves too but not to any war torn region and I feel as sick as can be and mope and pine for him. My girls are 22 and 16 and live in another state so it's just me on my own with my crafting...isn't it our sanity?
Sending you cyber hugs and some comaraderie that only us crafting women with husbands that leave know about and how it feels.
hugs from Australia

Have you seen the Rubber Soul
"Keep Calm & Carry On" stamp?.
When I saw it I immediatly thought of you. I know that you did a page titled that is the last Simple Mag. The stamps (two) of them are so cool and look like something you would love.
