Makayla as a guest blogger

Hello it is me Makayla here blogging on Miss Tricia's Blog.

I was getting ready to fall down in this picture. I was iceskating on Tuesday December 30th, 2008.

MY NEW CAMERA

Faith did the sweetest thing with her Christmas money. Aunt Lisa and Uncle Grattin sent some Christmas money so Faith took her girlfriend to the iceskating rink to go ice skating. I took these pictures and about 300 more with my new camera that I love.

I just purchased a Nikon D90 which is an SLR camera. I finally bit the bullet and broke down and got THE most amazing camera EVER!!!!!!! For the 12,000 pictures I have already taken I thank my previous camera but for the 100,000 more I am going to take THANK YOU NEW CAMERA:) If the amount of pictures I took with the girls yesterday ice skating (300) I will fill up my new hard-drive in a matter of minutes:) I am so EXCITED!!!!!!!!! Watch out Tammy I am coming your way soon and begging to take pictures of the cats.... I have about 50 of mine with the new camera and about 100 of the dogs.. Like this awesome one I took of Jackie.

Sorry about these being sideways. The blog wants them that way...

Here are my second set of pages. I was going to try and do more but I am lacking inspiration tonight. Maybe I will have a dream of one and do something awsome. I am going to have a Stampin Up party on January 16th so I will have some new creations by Monday to post. Happy New Years to you all.

Faith and Santa

Well here Faith is with Santa... Of course she told him two things she had to have for Christmas two days before Christmas that she never asked for.. Go figure..

By the way Dorothy and Toto are on their way to Kansas in March. Our first trip home in 5 years. I will post those pics while we are there..

I finally did a Scrapbook Page!!!!

I finally did the first scrapbook page since early October. My goal was to have 2003 finished by January. That is so not going to happen. I have over 500 pictures to choose from. But I did finish a two page layout. Yeah~!!!!! I used the new packing tape technique on some of the stars. I also used my new slice to do the letters.

I love my new SLICE so much!!!! I love that the letters are thicker than myCricut. I also used the two sizes of Stampin Up star punchs as well as the "Swirls" roller. In addition to the punches i used the Washington Apple paper, So Saffron, and the new Blue. Can't remember the name right off of the top of my head. I will hopefully have more samples this week because I don't go back to work until January 5th and my goal is to finish a lot of Stampin Up!!!!!

Enjoying Christmas Yummies

Here is a picture of us girls Christmas day over at Angies enjoying some of the wonderful yummies. Merry Christmas all and Happy New Year!!!!

My BEST Christmas Gift

Did you ever get that gift that you didn't feel like you deserved? My girlfriend Angie who lost her husband this spring to the war in Iraq surprised me Christmas Morning with this 6 quart Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I got all misty and mushy. Thanks girl I love you!!! I will have to bake a thousand things to pay you back for such a wonderful gift.

We love you and think of you everyday and know we are here for whatever you need no matter how small!!!!
