Here's our newest addiction to the family. No name yet!

Merry Christmas


I can't believe it has been an entire month since I have been able to add to my blog.

We had a wild time last night celebrating Christmas. Everyone was here it was so great. Raelin was the life of the party and just was wound for sound. She was just having a great time playing with one toy then running to another to just go back to the first one. Being two is busy stuff I guess.

Busy Day


Sunday's are always busy for me. Today was exceptionally so. I went to 8 a.m. service and usual. When I got home Rick and I went into town to do some quick shopping. When I got home I had to finish up some cards I started last night. I am putting these cards in a box for soldiers in Iraq. There is a group of us gathering items for them during the holidays. So I added a photo - what do you think?

My First Blog

Well I've been talking about having a blog long enough. I am new to this blog stuff and fairly new to scrapbooking. I never seriously did scrapbooking before that time. I guess it just hit me that if I don't put to paper some of my life, my grandchildren and great grandchildren may never really know who I am or who their family is. So as I go through this adventure I thought I'd keep track of it here.

My name is Marianne. I live in the Great Northwest. I have been married to my best friend Rick, for 33 years. In 33 years we have gone through a lot together but can't imagine sharing it with anyone else. We have two sons, 1 daughter-in-law and 4 grandchildren.

I work full time outside my home as a secretary. It is the best job. I work for a small family owned company and all the employees are very close knit. I have worked there only a year but feel like I have known all of them forever.

Rick is a manager for an auto parts chain store. He loves working with people so it is a great fit for him.

I love paper...there I said it. I just can't seem to get enough or make enough things with it.

I hope to post lay outs and other creative things for you to enjoy real soon.

Well that's enough for this entry.

Later!
