Just some minor ramblings…..

I don’t watch the news, so I was little late on the VT shootings.  After several years of being sick of what the media chooses to report and the way they choose to report it, I quit watching.  I do, however, read some newpapers and listen to a few talk radio programs.  My heart goes out to all who have been affected by this horrible tragedy.  I attended The University of Texas at Austin in the early ’90’s.  UT had previously been the site of the worst shooting incident in US history.  There is still evidence of that shooting on the campus today.  Bullet holes are visible in the Tower and no one is allowed on the observation deck of the Tower.  VT and the surrounding area will be affected by this tragedy for many, many years to come.  Our family is praying for everyone.

On a personal note, I have posted my first CT layout in my galleries.  It is located in my GP and DST galleries and the Gretchen Tripp gallery at Elemental Scraps.  Links to my galleries are in my sidebar.  The kit that I got to used is called Paradise and is on sale at Elemental Scraps, as well.  Here is a link to the kit:  Gretchen_Tripp’s_Paradise_Kit  It is a precious kit. 

DH is taking a trip this weekend with his dad and brother, so guess what I will be doing…SCRAPPING.  Of course, I need to do some housework, too. (UGH) The baby and I will spend the day together, but when he is napping and after he goes to bed at night, I will fire up the ‘puter!!  I need to do a few LO’s and I want to work on some designing.  I really have wanted to do one of the DigiDare’s this week, but I have not had the time, and will not until this weekend.  We have church group tonight, tomorrow is T-ball practice and then, here is the weekend. 

I have not done much cooking lately and I think my family thinks I have forgotten how.  Spring is just so busy and everyone on different schedules, I don’t see the point.  In a couple of weeks, it will be our turn to bring dinner for our church group.  DH said that he wants to cook.  Yes, my DH cooks and does it well.  I will be making a dessert.  I don’t know what it will be, though.  I know everyone on the church group will be amazed that DH is the one who prepares the actual meal.  He does have a tendency to burn things if he cooks on the stove. He is good with ovens and grills.  So, I kind of stay close when he uses a burner on the stove.  He has ruined a couple of skillets.(!)

I want to get a freebie or two out to everyone soon, so keep on coming back and you never know what you might find.  I will be taking the older ones down in a couple of weeks, so get those while you can!

Have a great day!
