Point of View
I am sitting here trying to decide just how to vent! About what? Television ads!
I am a HUGE CSI fan and not only enjoy the new episodes but do look for the reruns on various tv stations. While I realize that commercials pay for networks or stations the recent rash of commercials that I find downright disrespectful and/or inappropriate on some of them just has me seeing red. The sad part is I don't know who to complain to or even if they care! I am so sick of seeing the commercials for "girls gone wild" version whatever..IF I WANTED to see some chic's chest flashed into my face I would rent a movie. I sure as bloody heck do not care to see it in the middle of a tv program! Nor do I want to see commercials for the guy call me guy hookup lines coming out of some stations in the larger cities. Sorry folks..there has to be a line someplace and it does not have a place on regular TV! Seeing a commercial with some chic (some of which do not look like they are 18 let alone 21!) fondling the girls on camera or licking her lips or kissing another chic while in their undies is just NOT what I need to see on a tv commercial! I am no prude dangit--I am a grown married adult with kids and grandkids and have been around the block but this is just WRONG on so many levels. Is there that much of a shortage of advertisers out there that these tv stations feel the need to air this kind of trash? What about the families who have munchkins that sneak awake in the middle of the night and think they are turning on cartoons and flip thru channels and see this garbage? THEY grow up fast enough without it being shoved in their faces too! I dozed off mid show one night and was awakened by a commercial of a guy calling another guy on a commercial for a male phoneline thing..Joy oh joy just what I wanted to see! NOT! Christmas morning I counted no less than 10 commercials for the girls gone wild videotapes during one hour of programming! THIS IS beyond RIDICULOUS! All I wanted was to watch a rerun of a show I had missed and what I got was alot of extra added trash I didn't care to see tyvm! I am not saying you need to agree with me I am venting --I am just sick of it. I remember why I stopped watching TV for awhile! Makes me wonder if I want to just dump it all together sometimes! Maybe those who just have a tv to watch movies they rent have the right idea. No commercials and no trash unless it's waht you want. I know they can't please everyone but have some standards for heaven's sake! Keep the trash where it belongs..in the trashcan! Just my two cents.

We're back
Well we are back and hopefully home to stay! Lots to catch up on of course.
They did find a small anuersym in dh's aorta which they are watching but have not gotten back the rest of the test results yet.
Cj is out of his cast and back to his "teenage boy" shenanigans again lol. Caitie's surgery won't be til summer so we can breathe for awhile. Liv is coming back to the states in two days YAY..cannot wait to see the lil munchkin. We have missed her terribly and while she will only be here for a month before they go back to NZ it will be so good to see her! I know this has been a great experience for her but this past year just seems like she's been gone way too long! I can so understand the frustration of grandparents whose grands all live far away. I am blessed that the rest of them are nearby and can at least talk to them on the phone if not see them fairly often. Miss Wiggle Butt of course isn't talkng on the phone yet but do hear her carry on lol and get to see her when I am up to it. Emily I ususally see weekly but havent seen her for a few weeks either now with having to be out of town! We will be celebrating Christmas this weekend with the girls since Liv will finally be here and YES we left up our trees and decorations and believe it or not Miss Em did not open her gifts on Christmas..she is waiting for her sister! I hope they always love each other that way!!!! I know Em adores both of her younger sisters and dotes on Scarlett when nobody is looking haha.
Started back into my scrapping swing of things. Put some stuf on sale at 3S and added new stuff at Digitals so stay tuned til I can get that posted as well as a mess of layouts I got done! Feels good to finally have time and energy to get something accomplished. Hopefully I can get my pixel site stuff updated and in full swing as well.
Have a wonderful week
Many hugs and blessings

Few more
Wow..just think if I can keep this up the amount of layouts I would get done by the end of this year lol. Here's 3 more I did last nite and this morning! I am so enjoying doing these. I came across a link for a site called NitWits and fell in love with their stuff as well as all the others I love so had to buy two of their ready made pages called Lickety Splits! Love how they came out! The other is a mix of Lianne at 3Scrapateers whose work I am a huge fan of as well as Sue Jones from Digitals wordaart and some others mentioned below. Thanks for looking! Happy New Year!

I TOLD YOU SANTA WOULDOK I JUST could not RESIST adding the journaling to this one lol. Scarlett's other grandparents got her a rocking horse for Christmas which she just loves and can ride for long long periods of time. It goes clip clop when you squeeze one ear and the other ear sings a song when you squeeze it! What a joy it was watching her play on this! She gets to jumping up and down to make it rock more and it scoots across the wood floors lol.

Layouts, Layouts and Layouts :-)
Was busy the past couple of days trying to finish some layouts that I had started but not gotten to finish. These 3 are from the stash of goodies my cousin sent me of my grandparents! What a treasure trove there is ...sooooooo many more to save and scan and research! I love finding out things that I didn't know or remembering pieces from my childhood because of them. Thanks for looking! Credits are listed below each one if this sets up correctly! Happy New Year!
Beautiful Summer
We found some awsome photos of my grandmother when my cousin sent me a box not long ago and am happily doing some scrapping! This was her...she was both beautiful inside and out we always knew but just had never seen these photos and they blew me away.

Flea Market Alpha, Elements and Papers by Dana Frantz at Digitals
Family Heirlooms
Another found in the goodies of my gram's. I JUST LOVE this photo--those muffs are awsome!..she is in the middle and her cousins are on both sides. Louise was pretty much raised with her and they were inseperable. We had lost track of Millie but had located her back in the late 70s again so it was a wonderful rememberance for them all. I have vague recollections of Minnie but do remember Louise and her husband well as we visited them alot over my growing up years.

This one of my gram and gramps a few months before they were married just tickles me. You can see how much he adored her and he had that look til the day he died! They had almost 70 years together! How awsome that is!
