One More Studio J Layout

Studio J is truly addicting but I had to show you the last layout I did of my grand daughter.  It was her first birthday.  I wish I had taken some still pictures of her eating her first ever piece of cake because she was covered head to toe.  Here is the full layout which is much easier to see when you click on it to make it bigger:

Here is the left page:

And now here is the right page:

The printouts from Studio J are absolutely amazing. I guess they would have to be if they are printed on 12" x 12" photo cardstock!

Aren't grand kids the best?  Happy Tuesday!

Welcome to the World Zoe Elizabeth

My daughter was put in the hospital because her blood pressure went up and her kidneys were being affected.  The next morning they decided they would induce labor.  Well, as a result we were blessed with the little miracle, Zoe Elizabeth.  She was born at 4:00 PM weighing in at 7 pounds 8 ounces and 21 inches long.  I am the most blessed grandma anywhere!  I have grandchildren from both my son and my daughter and I am am walkingn on air!  Praise be to God!

Welcome Xander Thomas Cassidy!

My new grandson, Xander Thomas Cassidy was born December 4, 2009 at 9:35 am.  He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.  He was delivered one-half hour after his mother was admitted to the hospital.  Mom and new son are both in excellent condition!!

His sisters, Hannah and Mikayla couldn't see him yet.  They don't allow any children in the hospital under 14 and mom cannot leave the maternity ward.  So, we took tons of pictures to show Hannah and Mikayla and they got to talk with mom and their new brother Xander on the phone.

We have been SO blessed!  Glory be to God!

Haven't eaten your dinner?

This is one of the funniest videos. My granddaughter Mikayla likes to snack on goodies all day instead of eating at meal time. Enjoy!!

Before and After

I mentioned that my son was a Taxidermist. Well the first picture is what a bird looks like when he starts the process. It kinda looks like a wet mop!


I'm not sure of the process or what all has to be done, but after cleaning and fluffing and stuffing, the bird will finally look the the picture below. Isn't that amazing?


The bird is not quite finished at this point. It is in the final stages. He ended up creating a habitat scene and this was actually part of a larger piece I believe that has a predator hunting its prey.

It's Batgirl and Supergirl! Holy Jamoly!

Yes, Batgirl (Hannah) and Supergirl (Mikayla) - have come to visit my site. No, that is not ashes on the forehead of Supergirl. She is sporting her super tats!

Any bad guys walking the streets this Halloween night needed to look out for this dynamic duo! Actually with my son, the weightlifter, not many would actually dare cross that path anyway. Hee hee. Can you tell I'm missing that sweet little faces? Well, yes I am. I will soon have these pictures scrapped and will show you the layouts when they are done!

Children & Grandchildren

I thought I would post of picture of my son, Ian and his two little girls, Hannah, the older one and Mikayla the younger one. My son had got his antelope this year. They were all extatic because the freezer was bare. He also just got his elk a couple of weeks ago. My son is a taxidermist and works for Atchinson Taxidermy in Butte, MT. I will have to post a picture of my son's wife Amanda. Our little Hannah looks just like her mom, and little Mikayla looks just like her dad. She is the child that was blessed upon my son when I said "I hope you get a child just like you!" And she is. As my mom would say, "No flies land on her!"
