You will notice that my shutterfly name is ElleSnaps, that just means Lisa (starts with a L) Snaps alot of photos. Love it. I love shutterfly because it has given me this great distraction, this page has become so fun for me. I thank you all for indulging me and my new love.

Hi, I picked your site b/c my daughter's name is Lisa M (Marumoto). I haven't really done anything yet. I have to find time to do it or get started. Jihi, Torrance, California.

Hi lady, I know you have been busy! I have been thinking of you and love the card!
1/6/2013 5:01:19 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I know you must be busy, we have not seen much of you on the sites, but I have not been on the sites either! I have been helping my mom out with my dad! And in between having my grandson over to stay on school vacations, and days off! This year I am not doing a 365 or any of those things, it is too hard to keep up for me, and takes time away from seeing others photos as well! I will be having shoulder surgery on my right one this Thursday, the 10th, I want to be back with my camera in a couple of months the Dr. said! So I hope it does not snow here, since I would want to be out in it, and will not be able to for awhile! I hope you are having a Happy New Year, and getting to take lots of photos! I just wanted you to know I have not forgotten you! Deb xoxox

Hello Miss Lisa! It"s been such a very long time since we "talked." I have been struggling since early summer with the effects of vitamin D deficiency, something I know you have dealt with too! Miserable! But I wanted to be sure I wished you a very Merry Christmas and all good things for you and your family in the New Year. I so enjoy YOU.....your talent, your attitude, your kindness, your spirit and your jokes. I'm just saying.... Have a lovely holiday season, my friend. xoxoxoxo

O-M-G Lisa! Let me lift up my jaws. Your site truly amaze me looking at the header of your homepage. Kyleigh is growing so fast. She sweethearts ever. I do love the way you capture the funshine. Those images are great collection. You did such an excellent job. I can hear all of those birds singing on the tree. Great job Lisa. I can't wait to see more of your photographs! Thanks for sharing it.
8/1/2012 11:04:06 PM - 002063504014
Hi Lisa,
Love the header at the top of this page, especially the sunset. Hope your summer is going well :o)
7/29/2012 11:58:11 PM - 001036406489
Lisa, how are you? Haven't heard from you in a while. I miss your photos!!!!
7/29/2012 3:20:41 PM - 001076975951

7/23/2012 1:03:55 PM - 000078500249
Hi Lisa! It has been a while since I have been visited your site. I have missed out on so much! As usual, you have the most beautiful pictures and your site is always aweso fun to look at!

Fantastic photos from a fantastic photographer. You have a great eye and great talent as a photographer. Can I be half as good as you when I grow up? -- LowellB23

4/7/2012 4:22:41 AM - 001036406489
Lisa, Happy Easter to you!! Bet you will be taking lots of cute pics at Easter of your babies.
3/5/2012 6:57:55 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, It seems like I don't hardly have anytime lately for Shuttterfly! I am getting burned out I think! I just cannot take care of my household cleaning, and take care of my grandson after school, and pick him up everyday! I have to leave 45 minutes early and sit in the car in order to get a parking space close by to pick him up! I still love shutterfly, but it does not seem the same to me anymore! I don't know how some people can keep up with everyones share sites, and 365's, Project Life, and see anyone's books! Anyway I am happy to see that you have started your own business! That's great, I just do not have the confidence to do people photos, so would probably just do as I do now, sell canvas prints to friends, and my Dr. lets me put up some of my canvases in her office and I have sold 4 that way for 300.00 a piece! So I guess it will be like a hobby business! My family is so little, I have no one to practice on! My son, daughter-in-law, and my grandson do not like their pics taken, so it is hard, that leaves my husband! Of course I don't want to take pics of my dad just laying in his hospital bed at home, and my mom is not to crazy about her pic being taken even though she looks super young for her age! I need someone to practice in the different lights that there are! Anyway that is enough of complaining! I hope things are going well for you and that you are just busy, and not sick with your allergies! I haven't seen you around for awhile! Take good care of those beautiful grand daughters of yours, I know you do! I need to look around your site awhile, take care, Deb xoxox
2/12/2012 1:26:23 PM - 004081350613
what a fun site. Great photos on the project 365
2/8/2012 7:59:27 PM - 001024320926
Hi Leo, I made that playlist thru a site called www.playlist.com, then copied the code onto a widget here in my site. It should work for anyone. Thanks for visiting.
2/2/2012 8:18:16 AM - 003001598163
Lisa, would you share how did you added the playlist at the bottom. I read shutterfly do not offer this service yet. I think it's a nice touch to add music to the site. Thanks. Leo.
1/22/2012 1:54:18 AM - 002063504014
Lisa,
Stopping by to see what's new in Lisaville, always the cute kid shots. We finally got some snow around our area, can't wait to go out and play in it (snowshoeing). Blessings to you.
1/16/2012 7:32:58 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I love the headers of Kyleigh and Kimber with Santa. They are so adorable! I love their outfits! Too cute how comfortable they both were on Santa's lap! I adore those pictures! They always bring a smile to my face! :)
1/16/2012 2:07:58 AM - 002059624475

Hi Lisa ! It's been AGES since I was out visiting the sites. I had messed up quite a few pages on my own site, got discouraged and just kind of dropped out. I'm trying to get back into the swing of things again. I love your site. The pictures are beautiful and the music is GREAT ! Love it !
1/3/2012 7:35:25 AM - 002020640084

Wishing you and yours the most joyous of Christmasses & a super wonderful 2012. xo
12/12/2011 10:45:24 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I am glad you spoke up about the guru program on Shutterfly share site, I feel the same way you do about it! I have been pretty busy, but I have gotten back into the gallery more now, but I miss coming to the share sites, and missing everyones pics! I am just glad that I am all ready for the holiday, and the kids are cooking everything for the dinner like they did at Thanksgiving! They are great cooks! And I can relax after I make the pies the night before, always pumpkin and of course pecan! That's my dads favorite, so I always make it special for him! You did such a great job on your 365 day project, did you download everyday? I found it easier for me to kind of do the weekly one since I did not have enough to always download! Or did you take you pics with an I-Phone? Are they easier to download each day? I have been wanting to get one just for that reason, but do not know what kind I should get, there are so many kinds out there! Well I should get moving over to the gallery, but wanted to come over to your site and say have happy holidays, it was fun doing the 365 with someone else that took the time to look at our pics, and Joey too! Deb xoxox
12/1/2011 2:10:59 PM - 000074469281
Lisa, How are YOU?? Been forever! I had to tell u that i was looking at blankets Shutterfly now offers and Kimber is on one of the examples; in the fleece blankets. i want to see your 365 day project...Way to go on finishing!!
11/23/2011 3:35:01 PM - 002086548916
Hi Lisa, just wanted to stop by real quick to wish you and the whole family a Happy Thanksgiving!
10/26/2011 5:08:36 PM - 002020640084
I wanted to stop by to say ....have fun in St. Louis! Hope you got the email and postcard I sent. We missed the Elvis festival 2 weekends ago but did tons of other fun stuff. I will fill you in another day. I have to go get ready for my baby girl's 1st solo trip to NY on a plane. Can't believe she is 17 already and so grown up. She is so adventureous. I am off and running! I enjoyed my time here on your site. Have an awesome day! :)
10/26/2011 1:33:55 AM - 002086548916
Lisa! Hey! It's been so long since I have been over. Your headers are just as cute as ever.
Can't wait to see you next weekend! We are going to have such a great time!
10/20/2011 1:30:36 PM - 004024565663
wow i love your website. i am new to this site and would love to add you as a friend. please stop by mine if you have time. mine is kellidee photography. thanks
10/13/2011 5:11:27 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
How are you doing? I love coming to check out your 365 project! Can't believe its almost a year since you began! I am so impressed! I don't know how you do it! WOW!!! That is a HUGE commitment and you stuck with it. I am so proud of you!
I loved your Kansas photos and Kimber's 1st bday.
Its the Elvis Festival this weekend and I am hoping to go. I am so excited!!! It makes me think of you Lisa! LOL! Oh and of course I thought of you when we went to Chicago to celebrate Marina's 17th birthday. We went to the Navy Pier, on a boat ride, and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp. It was delicious! I thought of Jamie when Marina ordered crab legs. According to Marina they were the best she ever had! I'm not a big seafood person but I got this Kentucky Bourban shrimp and sausage on skewers and it was the best shrimp dish I ever had. Like I said, I am not a big seafood person so I probably only had shrimp about 20 times in my life. Rob got the usual fish and chips and loved it. Did you ever go there?
Hoping to post the Chicago pictures sometime this week or weekend. :)
9/29/2011 6:30:34 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Hi! How are you doing? Hope all is well. I always enjoy my visits here. Are you getting excited for Christmas? Are you excited for Halloween? Have a great weekend! :)
9/11/2011 5:33:01 PM - 000074469281
Oh my gosh Lisa, how can it have been so long that i have visited! EEEEK
LOVE the headers of Kimber & Kyliegh. Two stylin girls and your photography is amazing!!
I need to stop by again.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
9/11/2011 4:26:18 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I miss you so much! If you have a moment please come by and check out my site. I know you are super busy these days but if you get a free minute to stop by I would love it. I haven't been able to do daily or weekly changes with adjusting to living in a strange place 500 miles away from my hometown but alot has changed since your last visit in March. I think you will enjoy my fair page. Here is the link:
http://lucky4me.shutterfly.com/2011fair
Hope the weather is cooling down and you are able to enjoy the outdoors. I love the new headers!!! I am so proud you are on day 280 of your 365 project. I explored that page and loved all your work. You always inspire me. I can sit on your site for hours and hours.
Sorry I haven't been on the sites much in August we were so busy with getting Marina adjusted to moving 500 miles away from her only sibling, her friends, her school, her house, her dog, her neighborhood, her family, etc. Then the car she bought with her savings and money she made working like a slave as a dishwasher the car was nothing but a headache and she would drive it 1 day and then something would need to be fixed and she wouldn't have it for 2 weeks then get it back and drive it 1 day and something would go wrong. Finally we had enough of all the repairs and worries we sold it so now she doesn't have a car. Over the summer Marina met a boy Raul at The Buffalo Bisons Game (a minor league baseball game) and they were inseparable the entire summer. Raul's dad plays for the Buffalo Bisons and they are from Venezuela. Raul was only in NY for the summer so Marina went to the airport on Aug 1 to see him go. If you remember teenage romance its pretty powerful and can you imagine seeing your boyfriend get on a plane to go to another country then the next day your parents are there to pick you up to move you away from your entire WORLD?!!! How much can 1 kid take?!!! Its been really difficult and now Marina is in a school with over 2000 strangers. She started a few weeks ago. The only thing that really got Marina through all this was knowing we were going to NY for Labor Day weekend and having her early bday party. We left on Saturday afternoon and came back on Wed. night. We had so much fun on our visit to NY during Labor Day weekend and we were able to see tons of our family and friends. I have to upload those pictures as well. We had Marina's early bday party at the a little pizzeria that is 1 of our favorites in our hometown. She wanted Cheeta print decorations. We found really cool decorations. In the little time we were in NY we squeezed in a ton of visits with family and friends and I got alot of pictures of all the kiddos I miss and adore so much. It was so nice. It was a really emotional visit and I cried for days on the visit on and off dreading leaving Joe and cried for days when I got back to Indiana. Its so hard to leave your only son 500 miles away. :(
Hope you had a fun Labor Day weekend.
This weekend I went to the Hot Air Balloon Festival in Indiana but the weather didn't cooperate so they didn't set them up, they didn't launch them, and they didn't make them glow! I was bummed out but I did meet a lot of nice people so that was a HUGE bonus. Then on Saturday morning, I went to the Popcorn Festival and seen the parade and walked around downtown to see all the crafts and foods. Then I came home and Marina used the car to go hang out with a friend she met at school. They went go kart racing and had fun. I was so HAPPY!!!
Today we are heading to the beach! I am hoping to get some nice sunset pictures tonight. :)
9/8/2011 5:18:40 PM - 004023964811
Your photographs are absolutely gorgeous! omg how do you add songs? thank you so much for visiting my site <3
8/30/2011 12:34:03 AM - 002064737240
HI Lisa, Its been a while since I've been over here. Lots more great pics, and love your layout. Great headers.
8/25/2011 8:19:11 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I have been so busy, but have not forgotten about you!!! How was the trip to California? Fun, and a great learning experience I hope! That is so cool that you are starting a business!! It takes a lot of get up and go to do that! I have not even been over to my 52 week shoot page to update in about a month! I need to go and check and see where I left off! I have had my grandson off and on lately, and cutting down dying flowers, helping mom, lets see what else, OH! and some household chores too! Sound like fun? Well I am so excited because the day after Labor Day the kids go back to school here, and we are leaving to go camping in our tent, along the coast of WA. It may get quite chilly, so mainly bringing warm clothes! I want to go all the way to the tip of the state, and back thru the Hoh Rain Forest! Yikes, it is only a week and a half away, and I haven't even gotten out the camping gear yet! Hope all is well with you and you are just busy too! catch you later my friend, Deb xoxox
8/17/2011 6:49:20 PM - 002086548916
Hey Lisa, its been a while since I have been over here, so thought it was time I came to see what is going on.
I haven't seen a lot of recent pictures of Ky and Kimber posted anywhere, so I am hoping they are here. How cute are those headers. Love Ky's expression on the right and Kimber is just full of smiles!!! Love seeing these two grow up!
I am enjoying my new job, it keeps me busy some days and others (like today) are a bit slowers. But it is so much better than my previous job. I am very thankful for this opportunity.
California looked to be like a lot of fun, I am so glad you got to go!!! It looks like it has really helped you get some new ideas for your business. Yay!
How are the wedding plans? I bet Janna is getting more excited by the day that it is getting closer and closer! I hope everything is pulling together just fine without any issues.
Well, I'm gonna go peak around for a bit. TTYL!
8/15/2011 3:42:53 PM - 001079371478
Hi Lisa, I just dropped my and checked out your site. I like your tabs heading at the top and finally fingured out how to add those. I really like the playlist at the bottom of your site, so I log on to Playlist, but now I can't figure out how to add it to my site. Any ideas? HELP Please! Thanks.
8/14/2011 12:35:11 AM - 004027892230
Hi Lisa, thanks for dropping by my site and thank you for your kind comment. You have a nice site and I think your project 365 is a great idea. Greetings from England.
8/11/2011 11:49:04 PM - 002025703401
Where are the California pictures?????????
7/21/2011 1:17:00 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Just wanted to stop by and say hi! Hope things are calming down and you have time to breathe, enjoy some time to yourself and get to do things you enjoy again! Hope it has cool down in your area. Its been in the mid 90's and today 100 degrees but we live near the lake so there is a breeze. It feels like Buffalo's 75 degree days because its so HUMID in the summer in Buffalo. I am going back to visit Joe on the 26th and to pick Marina and her friend Chelsea up. They will stay a few weeks then we are dropping them off and visiting Joe again! I can't wait to see my kids but I'm not looking forward to the HUMID weather!
7/12/2011 11:16:13 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I am not on facebook, so did not know you were sick, hope you are well now! Thanks for always looking at my pics on shooting goobers! I always try to see yours too! I saw the comment from Rhonda about California! Is there a guru meetup going on! I want to go see Jenna, and she only lives 3 hours from me, and I can't even seem to get there! We wanted to meetup, and have invited Henry also since he lives about 45 minutes from Jenna! He says he is in for it if we can fix it up, and go on a photo shoot! I have been so busy this year, but I am getting to meet with Jamie, Kay, and her mom on the 24th! We are going on a whale watching tour that is 3.5 hours long! We are going to see the Orcas, I have never done it before! I can't wait! It is only 64 degrees here today if you can believe that! It has gotten into the 70's once in a while, and was 84 one day this year, and turned right around to the low 70's again, and is going to be in the 60's most all this week! I don't mind though because I don't like it to be too hot! I know you guys got blasted this year with the heat and floods and all! How is that beautiful little Kimber doing? And how is Kyleigh too? They grow so fast don't they! Both of your grand daughters have their dads eyes, different colors but same shape! I think he got it from you! I saw a photo of you somewhere, and your eyes were gorgeous! Just like your son Rider! I will be in touch, I should view some pics instead of just starting to ramble! LOL! Deb xoxox
7/12/2011 5:09:32 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Hi! How are you doing? I hope you are feeling better! Glad you got to see Kimber this week! She is such a doll and growing up so fast! WOW!!!
7/11/2011 12:23:19 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, enjoying your 365 project and can't wait to view your book. Hope you are well and that your family is well too. Sending my best wishes to you.
7/8/2011 11:37:35 PM - 002086548916
Hey Lisa! How are you doing? Its been a while since I have been around, but thought I stop and say hi! I think I read on FB that you were really sick this week, are you feeling better? Do you have any plans for the weekend?
I think Rob and I will chill out at home. The swimming pool at our aprt complex just got new chairs so I might have to go try those out :)
Still looking for work, nothing seems to be really panning out, but that's okay. Its summer and I can spend time outside! I love it!
Take care!
7/8/2011 7:12:37 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Any Christmas in July plans? LOL!!!! ONLY 168 days until Christmas! Hope you are feeling better! Miss you! Love the 4th of July headers! :)
7/8/2011 5:29:58 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa Marie......oh, just 3 mroe weeks, yeah! Watch out Cali, it will never be the same :)
7/1/2011 10:12:04 PM - 002086548916
Hi Lisa! Thanks for coming by, I am glad you like the changes! Sometimes, we all just need a little sprucing up on our site. LOL.
I hope you have a fantastic weekend, and can do fireworks with the girls -- if it is not too dry. We have a firework ban here, but that's okay. It will still be a fun weekend!
6/28/2011 1:32:55 PM - 001010638415
I just love your header!!
6/28/2011 1:44:07 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, I can't believe I haven't been here since May? I have just been catching up on stuff in the yard, and trying to keep up in the gallery while dad was in the care center! He went home about 3 weeks ago last Friday! I still have so many house projects we have to do also! It never ends does it! I am going to get my grandson I hope for the 4th weekend! Having a wing cook off with the neighbors, and their family! The guys love to cook, and have barbeque contests and the family picks! Last time a few weeks ago, it was enchiladas! It turned out a draw! It is always fun, and I make the desserts! I certainly need some fun time this year, after everything that went on! I am going on a whale watching cruise on the 24th of July with Jamie, Kay, and her mom, when they are coming to WA. Can't wait! I love boat excursions, but never go on them anymore, I decided to splurge on myself this time! Hope all is well with you and you did not have too much trouble with all the storms this year! Take care, and don't let those two cutie pie grand girls get you too tired out! Hope your allergies are better too! Deb xoxox

Love the Flags!!
6/11/2011 7:13:44 PM - 002086548916
Your headers are just always the best! I love the flags, that's just awesome!
6/11/2011 5:05:37 AM - 000085599530
Love the flags and faces on the header.....perfect.
5/18/2011 5:48:59 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I love your headers, they are just the most adorable! I love the one with the matching little shorts from the behind also! Thanks for stopping by my site! I wish I had more time for my share sites! I like to leave some comments on pics, but have just been too busy running back and forth lately! I am getting ready to go up to the rehabilitation center they sent dad to this time to try to get him walking a little bit again! I am bringing him some flowers today! The rooms are really clean at this place, and it is really nice, but there are no pics or anything in the patients room for them to look at! They do have a small T.V., but he hardly ever watches it, since they have none at home! Can you believe I grew up without T.V.? When I was in high school Kung Fu with David Carradine came out, and I would hear everyone talking about how cool it was, and I didn't have the nerve to ask what Kung Fu was at that time! LOL!!!! Deb xoxox

love the headers Lisa. I have to agree with Stacey. The booty shot is adorable.
5/10/2011 5:12:15 PM - 000074469281
Oh Lisa, those headers are priceless. I so admire your work! WOW!
5/10/2011 5:01:39 PM - 000040317923
Love the headers, Gigi! Cute booty shot of the little princesses!
5/10/2011 3:59:46 PM - 002029331419
Cute Cute Headers, Gigi!! :0)
5/10/2011 12:30:06 PM - 002086548916
Those headers are cute! cute! cute!!!!
5/8/2011 2:16:05 AM - 003025995884
I was looking to find a web page, any web page, just to see if others could download my photos if I create one (they can), and I stumbled on this. Great page. Great photos. Great composition. Even the music is terrific. I am blown away. Well done!

Hey there GiGi! I was looking at your updated pictures and I thought I was stop by and leave a hello from me and Kimber since we are just chilling today! :]
5/3/2011 3:13:17 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Sorry I have been MIA. Life is so crazy right now with our moves(3 moves in 3.5 weeks with Rob moving from the small Indiana apartment to the bigger family apartment, moving Joe into his 1st apartment in NY since he wants to continue to go to colllege and work here in NY, and then moving our family to IN finally.) I have been going on 36 hours stretches with like 2 hours of sleep and off running again. I will try to catch up as soon as things calm down. Hope all is well with you! Hope you got my email 2 weeks ago you silly girl! You crack me up. I was saying I was stupid when it comes to my photo taken. I wish I didn't have a phobia like that.
I love the new bluebonnet headers! :)
4/29/2011 1:14:59 PM - 002086548916
Hey Lisa, thanks for coming by for a visit! Don't worry, you're not the only one who is not being productive at work, I think a lot of people are starting to loose motivation as it gets closer to summer. You would think companies would give more time off to their employees so they stay motivated and working hard....when we do the same thing every day without a lot of breaks its hard to stay focused! Hang in there, today is Friday!
Any big plans for the weekend? I hope to rent the King's Speech and watch it tonight. Too many people have raved about it, I really want to see it now!
Did you watch the Royal Wedding this morning! Kate is so beautiful and elegant!
Have a great weekend!
4/26/2011 1:24:31 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, I hope you were enjoying those grand daughters this weekend! We had decent weather for a change on this weekend, so it was good for kids who do the easter egg hunts! My grandson told me when he turned 8 last year that he was too old for easter things anymore! Crushed me, but he still loved picking out a chocolate bunny, and I told him to pick which ever one he wanted, and he picked a little 6 inch chocolate rabbit! I thought he would go for the big ones, but not Ethan! He even informed me when we went birthday shopping for him to pick his own lego sets, and he only picked 4 things and then papa Alan, "Don't you want this too", and he said, "No, I think I have enough right now!" He seems so grownup, sometimes I miss the silliest things like dying the eggs with him! At least he is not greedy I guess! I guess I would give him just about whatever he wants as long as it was not too expensive! LOL! I sure wish he wanted a camera! That is what I really want to do with him! Maybe as he grows older he will want one! I can't wait to give him his lego photo book I made for his 9th birthday, but it didn't get here in time, so I will give it to him the next time I see him! I feel like I am rambling now, so will let you go, and I love those darling headers you always have! Deb xoxox
4/24/2011 7:39:36 PM - 002035648808
Happy Easter Lisa. I hope you and your family had a very blessed day. I can't wait to see pics of Little Kyleigh and Kimber in their Easter outfits. I know they both will be just adorable :)
4/21/2011 1:23:35 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, I wanted to thank you for letting me know it was Alicia's 50th birthday! I was glad to wish her a happy birthday! Deb xoxox
4/15/2011 6:51:02 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I LOVE your new header. And Kimber is so adorable. Hope you are feeling better. Just wanted to stop by real quick to say HI. I will be by soon to explore your new work. I thank you for stopping by my sites while I have been MIA. Have a wonderful weekend. xoxoxoxoxo
4/14/2011 5:43:25 PM - 002035648808
Love the headers Lisa....I have to agree with Karen that the pic of Kyleigh is precious. Great job Gigi.
4/14/2011 12:39:06 PM - 001081690819
Only have a second, but had to say I LOVE LOVE LOVE the headers! While the bluebonnet shots are amazing, I have to say the one of Kyleigh on the bike made me catch my breath......SOOOOOO special. Perfect in every way1 I adore those slice-of-life moments like this. Now THAT would be a beautfiul canvas shot. xoxoxo
4/13/2011 3:17:45 PM - 002086548916
Your new header is so adorable. Love Kimber with that little tongue sticking out, she was really wanting that flower! Fun times, Gigi!
3/27/2011 3:46:45 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, Looking at your pages of digi scrapping you have done, I know you will do a fantastic job of the pages!!!!! I hope by next year I might be able to decide to learn some digi scrapping! I just don't have the time of day right now! I will be leaving this monday morning to go over to my parents and am hoping it is my last time to do it for awhile! I love to help out my mom and dad, it is just that I am getting tired of living out of my suitcase! I miss just being home for two weeks in a row! Was it hard to learn to digi scrap? It seems like it would be complicated! My computer skills need a lot to be desired!!! Thanks for the comments on my photos in the shooting goober page! It really does make ones day to get a compliment! Deb xoxox
3/25/2011 9:24:24 PM - 001024320926
Heather, thanks for visiting, you are most welcome anytime! To add a book to your site just add a section, it will have the selection of photobooks in there, once you have add the section then click add photobook and it will bring up all the photobooks you have in your My Shutterfly acct, then add your books. I hope that helped. If you have any trouble email me and I'll be happy to help :) My email address is just above the map, above this comment section :)
3/25/2011 3:55:33 PM - 001024320926
Yep Debbie I am making the page, hoping to get started before too long. If you think there's something I may not have you are welcome to forward it my way :) Hope all is going well with you folks.
3/25/2011 12:26:56 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, Connie said that she thought you were doing the pages for the balloon meet up! If you are let me know so I can send you a few pics to choose from! I will be here until Monday, and then I will be at my parents for a while again! Here's my problem, I thought for sure I had your e-mail address to e-mail the photos, but I don't know it! Mine is debbie_speed@yahoo.com , I hope to hear from you soon, Thanks so much! I sure do miss my share sites, I can hardly keep up with the gallery at the pace I have been trying to keep up with helping out my parents! So hopefully I will be able soon to slow down and have time to actually check out my members photos! Deb xoxox
3/23/2011 4:23:08 PM - 003031522322
How did you get your photobook to show on your page... thats awesome. I am going to go and try to figure it out. Sorry, I'm just searching through share sites, and can't see your map on my page...=(
3/23/2011 1:14:40 AM - 002059624475
I'll miss you the mostest times 100!!
3/15/2011 2:23:09 PM - 002007382181
i love your pumkin pictures there so good. and your kid's get cuter every time i see them.
3/13/2011 5:00:03 PM - 001076975951
Lisa my dear. Hope you are having a good weekend and weather is through with storms and floods. Enough already! Thanks for stopping by my travel site and YES I am excited the cruise is 6 months away. the countdown begins. LOVE your headers. Your entire site rocks and I sure hope to have some new photos soon. I am getting my itch to take out my camera again. Enjoy your Sunday and all my best to you.
3/12/2011 4:26:06 PM - 002063874143
You have a great site!! I love it...
3/11/2011 10:27:30 PM - 000085599530
Hey Lisa....
Thanks for checking out my books....nice to hear from you...
3/11/2011 1:57:39 PM - 002086548916
...um, hey QG...oh, um...huh? wha??...um, err....no, we didn't call you....thank you for visitng! please come again!
3/10/2011 11:48:42 PM - 002025703401
Did I hear my name mentioned?
3/10/2011 8:56:27 PM - 002086548916
Oh yes! Jamie and I have already discussed meeting up! We are going to try see eachother after the family gets checked in at the ship, then I will come off and meet Jamie for lunch...at least an hour with her will be a blast!
How far from San Antonio and Dallas? Maybe that drive isn't so bad when you are on company time, and getting paid milage and gas....sometimes the perks are there. Glad he is liking his new job!
I hope you get to see your g-babies this weekend too, that would be a delight, I just know it! I haven't seen Hannah in about 2 weeks, and I miss that sweet pea....I'm sure I'll get to see her soon.
2 more hours of work then I am going to the gym! yay!
P.s....those pictures are Jamies from the Botanical Gardens in San Diego....but shhh, don't tell her I am using them ;)
3/10/2011 2:54:16 PM - 002086548916
Look at the new header! You are so ready for Spring! I love the gerber daisies on the right...those are my favorites!!!
It is starting to slowly warm up here, can't wait until the 80's...that is going to feel so good! I haven't seen any flowers or treems blooming yet, but I think they will start next week once it really warms up! We would be in the 70's next week! That is a happy sign for sure!
Our cruise is in September, and we will leave out of Galvaston. We are flying to San Antonio and spending a day or two with Rob's dad before the cruise and then we will all drive together to Galvaston...and then after we get back, we'll stay in Houston for a two days with Rob's mom before coming home. It will be a wonderful time, that's for sure! Our cruise will be over Labor Day weekend, so we get to celebrate our 1st anniversary on a cruise!
Thanks for coming by site for a visit!!!
3/9/2011 6:34:16 PM - 002020640084
I love the spring headers and I had fun catching up on your blog today! :)
3/9/2011 6:33:31 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I just voted! I'm so happy you entered that one!!! I love it so much! GOOD LUCK! :)
BTW.... thanks so much for the Durango postcard, for posting the jumping photo of Marina on your blog that you so kindly designed for us, & for checking out my featured garden photo on the Shutter Sisters blog! :)
How are you doing? How is Kyleigh, Kimber, Ryder, Jana, Nick, & Randy doing?
Any travel plans for spring or summer?
3/9/2011 12:07:55 AM - 003084730151
Lisa, I love your photo slides!
3/6/2011 11:17:35 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, It was so great to get home last friday night, and to go through all the mail, and bills, and find a postcard from you, that was so nice of you to think of me on your fun trip! Thanks much! I love all the photos you have on your page of Kyleigh and Kimber, but I am just to tired yet to even comment on anything! I really wanted to say HI!, and am glad you were able to have such a fun vacation for your birthday!!!! I am basically just trying to get around on my sites to say hi to everyone, and catch up in the gallery! I know you are really busy too, but I can't wait to see your pictures of your trip also! I will be back soon to check on them! Have a great week, even if it is at work! Deb xoxox
3/6/2011 2:35:54 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, I'm still in LOVE with your site. YOU ALWAYS INSPIRE ME!
3/3/2011 3:46:06 PM - 002025703401
Congrats to Kyleigh on her win!!!! :0)
3/2/2011 12:32:32 PM - 002059460698
What a beautiful page! I love the headers! Your babies are absolutely gorgeous and you captured them so beautifully...you can even see the happiness sparkling in their little eyes! I've been off the sites for almost a year and am trying to get involved again. We had the oil spill down here and then I accidentally deleted lots of my pages and quotes....I became discouraged and just stopped working with my site. Anyway, I'm trying to get involved again and looking at all of your beautiful pictures is certainly inspiring!
I just noticed the Birthday wishes so "Happy Birthday" from me too!
2/20/2011 2:03:56 PM - 001081690819
Meant to get on here yesterday to leave you a birthday wish......oh well, better late than never! I so wish I could have been celebrating your birthday with you! I can just imagine the shenanigans you girls got up to out there.........BIG FUN, I am sure!!! Want you to know how glad I am to count you among my friends, Lisa!!!
2/20/2011 12:17:27 AM - 000074469281
OH MY Gosh, its quite evident i haven't been here in ages. LOVE LOVE your headers!!!
Wishing you a wonderful birthday. I can hear your laughter throughout the day! Can't wait to hear about it!
2/16/2011 2:46:23 PM - 002086548916
LISA!!! I am so excited to see you in a few days! It just can't get here fast enough. I will probably be packing on Thursday night too, since I won't have time on Friday.
Valentines was so much fun. Rob had flowers delivered to the apartment on Saturday...the pics are on my site now. And we made steaks and potatos on Monday night for dinner. It was so special, but very low key. I am so blessed!
Hope you are having a great day and can get a lot accomplished so you can come and have fun and just relax!
2/16/2011 1:46:13 AM - 002035648808
Hey Lisa....Woohooo girlie...4 more days and I get to see ya all, yeah. I hope everything is going well down there in Texas. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures. Getting the camera geared up and ready to go :)
2/15/2011 12:07:04 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
How are you doing? Hope you got to see your lil punkins today! Any bday plans? You cracked me up on SF Guru Central about the hunters in TX fighting over the deer in my driveway! LOL! I hope the weather is calming down in TX. I bet you have a photoshoot alll set up when the TX wildflowers bloom this spring! I'm going to take a look around before I take the kids out to dinner. I have to pick Marina up from work in like 25 minutes! Talk to you soon! If you are going on a trip this week then have fun. I seen some stuff about Durango here and there but haven't heard what its all about or who is going. If so, have a safe trip! :)
ā„ Happy Valentine's Day! ā„
2/13/2011 4:02:32 PM - 001081690819
Could these headers BE any cuter?!?!? SOOOOO adorable, Lisa!
2/12/2011 1:38:31 AM - 002086548916
The new picture of Kimber is so cute! She sure is smiling a lot these days :) And Kyleigh had a blast in the snow!
2/4/2011 7:44:55 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I am finally getting around to all my share sites! The first two days home were spent catching up on the gallery! I always try to do at least 5 books a day, I know I don't have to, but it is my little quirk! You are going on the train ride are you not? If you are, you are one lucky girl! That would be so amazing, and to be with all your friends on it too! I just got back home last Saturday, and also had a lot of housework to do too! My husband did the laundry while I was gone, but men never seem to see all the little stuff, that turns into big stuff! They have selective vision I think! After two weeks all the floors needed cleaning, bathrooms cleaned, etc. Oh! to have a maid!!!!LOL!! When I get rich, which will never happen!!!!! So until then I can only dream! Our house is one of the older style houses in Everett, so it has two floors besides the finished basement, which is my laundry room and Al's office and my spot where I do all my computer work, and TV watching if there is ever anything good on! I like to watch that show about the pickers that go around looking through peoples trash for treasures! That would be fun I think!!! And of course I usually get Showtime when Dexter's season comes on! So we have a bathroom on every floor which makes three! How fun to keep up with! How is everything with you besides busy!!! I hope you all have a great time on your train ride to Durango, and I better get going because I feel like I am just rambling on! Love to see Jamie and Rhonda singing Johnny Cash, one of my favorite singers in the whole world! I grew up on old country, so I love it, and I can sing every lyric to any of his songs! Catch you later, stay well, and take care! deb xoxox
2/4/2011 6:37:50 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - had to pop in and say hello and take a look at the new pictures.....fabulous. Karen is right - your snow pictures are truly amazing! I am in awe of how you make snow look so attractive (you know it's not my thing!) I hope they have your office stabilized and that you are warm again. Warm hugs!!!!!!
2/3/2011 11:37:09 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa..Just stopping by to say:
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.
2/3/2011 10:07:56 PM - 002029331419
Look at all of your new pictures!! :0)
1/30/2011 10:00:30 PM - 002086548916
Hi Lisa! How are you? It is nice and sunny down there? You know, you did vote for winter on my site...so you didnt miss it. And you have 2 more days to vote if you didn't get a chance. I will be putting a new question up on Tuesday, so come by and check it out!
Can't wait to start the Willette class on Tuesday, I hope it will really help Holly and I get aquanted. I sure did learn a lot about her the other night at the Rodeo, it was so much fun!
Thanks for coming by to check on my site :) I love having visitors! I'll be by this week!
1/29/2011 2:02:57 AM - 001024320926
Jeannine from NY, welcome!! You can comment and visit as much as you'd like :)
1/24/2011 5:27:31 PM - 002086548916
Yippee! I received mail on Saturday! Cute, cute, cute Christmas card!!! Thanks for sending me a card!
1/23/2011 2:35:22 PM - 001081690819
Hey Miss Lisa, I just popped in to see what's new......and girl.......you have a SERIOUS talent for capturing those snow shots! The composition, the mood, the creative views, you have it all, not to mention the perfect light. I think snow shots are SOOOOO difficult to make them look like what you see through the viewfinder. All the glare, and "sameness" just look boring in my shots. Yours are WONDERFUL. You seriously need to make a book of all this loveliness! OK, I'm done singing your praises now.....I'm just sayin'.......
1/21/2011 2:19:21 PM - 002086548916
Hey Lisa! I am glad you are loving the cold and the freezing temps! It will be cold and freezing in Silverton, that is a guarantee!
I haven't done anything for the Willette class yet, I don't think the assignments are supposed to start until February 1. My mom and I didn't get to shoot our overcast pictures because the sun came out, and it is supposed to be sunny for the next week! We might have to come back to chapter 1 in another few weeks and start over.
I want to take my camera out and practice, but the dead trees and grass at the park are not really a pretty sight....Oh well. I'll figure something out!
1/20/2011 6:47:52 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Your winter winter wonderland headers are so beautiful! :)
Thanks again for making the jumping photos of Marina so magical! We love them so much! You are such a sweetheart! I posted them on my sharesite today. :)
1/16/2011 6:05:27 PM - 001038348079
Poppin in to say hello!!! Love you and love what you and Diego have been doing!!! I also wanted to check and see if your playlist was working. I can't get anyones to play.
1/16/2011 4:36:13 PM - 002059624475
Twin, how are ya darlin? Just thought I would stop by and take a good look at your site. I'm a bad Twin, I haven't done that in awhile! I hope you have a good week, we'll be in touch. I love your new pics of Kimber and Kyleigh is growing way too fast, she's amazing :)
1/13/2011 5:37:56 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, The new granddaughter is sure a cute one! Sorry it has taken me so long to get over to your site, but I have been trying to play catchup on all my sites and with the extra house work from not being home, and catching up in the gallery too, has been taking up my share site time, which I hate! I always love to visit my share sites! Despite everything that was going on for me in december, I was able to have a wonderful holiday! I had everyone over for Christmas dinner, and dad was even able to come which was great! After mom's second surgery, the dr. says she is now cancer free!!! Yeah!!! The new year has started out a lot quieter! I got home from my parents 2 weeks ago today, and it was great to be able to spend some quality time with them, even though I did miss home! I just was able to get all of my holiday decorations put away the last two days! Finally, ready to move on to a new year, which seems to be going by incredibly fast! I can't hardly believe that before we know it we will be looking at new spring flowers! I did buy myself something for Christmas! My husband said to just go ahead and get it, it is a new samsung lens for my camera, a 150mm-500mms! It is heavy, but incredibly enough I was able to hand hold it and get those mountain shots that were on the goober site, in 365 days! I know I will need my tripod with it sometimes, but I fight the urge to use it, because I move around to fast to have the patience for it! Here's to a happy new year to you too!!! Deb
1/12/2011 12:35:26 AM - 002025703401
I do like the new headers..... but where is the lake and picnic table picture?
1/11/2011 10:03:52 PM - 002086548916
Loving the new headers!!! The girls are gorgeous, and your winter pictures are just awesome!
1/11/2011 9:11:59 PM - 002029331419
Some really great new headers you have going up on here!! :0)
1/8/2011 2:30:48 AM - 001005918472
Lisa! I hope you remember me, the roadtripusa share site! Life turned upside down since our big adventure and new addition to the family (my handsome baby boy Colsen - now 10 months!) but I'm hoping to get back to Shutterfly World soon. I miss everyone, I miss reading, learning and being part of a community with so much stuff in common. Your photos and get better and better everytime! I love it! Happy 2011!!! Cami
12/29/2010 8:09:36 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I loved your Christmas album! Its so professional! You are so creative and talented! Its such an inspiration! True Christmas magic for sure! :)
12/28/2010 9:44:35 PM - 000031826072
Hi Lisa! I, too, love that top left pic of Kyleigh - perfection! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Did Kyleigh love all her gifts? What did you end up figuring out for Kimber that was cool? Our Christmas was very blessed and we created lots of great memories.
How you doing wrapping up the Willette class? I'm so behind with that, like with everything else right now. It was fun, though. I finally broke down and bought Fotofusion, so now I need to find some time this week while I'm off to try and learn it! I may be calling you for help!
You and the family have a joyous, peaceful and Happy New Year! xxxo
12/27/2010 4:27:04 PM - 002086548916

Merry Christmas Lisa. I hope you and your family are enjoying today and have a wonderful time with little Kyleigh in a few hours, when Santa comes. Can't wait to see her petticoat. I know the pics are going to be awesome. It has been such a gift getting to meet and know you this year. What a blast NM was and our upcoming activities are so exciting. Can't wait to share more adventures with my new Goob Sista's! I look forward to some more of our telephone conversations. Chat at ya later girlie...Love ya ;)

Lisa,
I missed you when I was gone! I can't wait to catch up with everyone! I always think of you most at xmas time since you love it so much. I hope you and your family have a magical Christmas!
Our mother/daughter trip was a dream come true vacation. Everything was perfect. We had so much fun! South Beach Miami, FL is so beautiful. The Lincoln Road Mall is awesome. Have you ever been there? I looked it up now that I'm home and it was designed to be like 5th Avenue in NYC or like Rodeo Drive in LA. It was so amazing! The most beautiful people walk around there. Then the shops and cafes were so neat. Everyone has dogs and the dogs were all dressed up. It was fun to see. The South Beach Miami, FL beach was so blue, clear, clean, & amazing! The 1st day there I got some amazing photos of Marina on the beach. Marina was so impressed with the quality of my 1st new DSLR (Nikon D90) she said they look like professional photos. Its hard to get photos of Marina because she gets embarrassed if people are looking so she will be still for 1 then she starts walking away. Its a challenge and I wish I could get her to do different things and experiment with a photo shoot but like I said she gets embarrassed so I have to snap 1 or 2 and then when we are in another area and there aren't people then she will let me snap a few more. She also gets tense when I take photos of her but I did get a few really pretty ones that I love. Its funny because Marina will take the most beautiful self armshot photos but they are through mirrors or her head is part cut off but she is so relaxed and I wish she was like that when I took photos. I am excited to upload my photos and really look at all of them.
The cruise was action packed with so much fun. The entire trip we would go to bed at like 3AM and wake up like 6AM. We were on the go nonstop and we still didn't see the entire ship. I really wanted to get photos of the ship's different rooms but we ran out of time. I still haven't posted my photos yet from my new camera because my laptop's harddrive is almost at full capacity so I have to do some serious deleting to upload all the new ones. I'm hoping the day after xmas I can have time to delete and then upload all the new photos with my new camera.
Marina loved the dolphin swim in Tortola! It was a blast. Then we both really loved going to the Dominic Republic. The people there are so friendly and warm. It really left an impression on our hearts. The little kids would chase the truck and wave and scream in excitement like we were Santa Claus or a celebrity. We felt so bad that they were so poor without running water, no electricity, & living in little shacks. We were so impressed and inspired by their happy spirits with their living conditions. The people really fell in love with Marina, I think because of her pretty green eyes. We went on these waterfalls and it was along a mountain which was slick and slippery from the rain that morning so these kids would help the tourist out. The one who helped Marina said, "YOU BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE YOU!" It was so cute. The young and old were loving Marina it was so cute. We got alot of photos from there. 6 all on their own. One had his own horse and he was about 5. I got alot of cute photos of them. I wish I could have communicated with some of them. They were so intriquing! One would think that with the 3 or 4 years of Spanish in jr. high school and in high school and the recent 2 years in college of spanish that I could remember and have a simple conversation! NO! I never was good at listening or speaking I was better at reading and writing it! LOL! All of the kids we had seen were just on there own roaming around. Little toddlers and kids not older than 6. We also went to a farm and learned alot there. You really can't leave that place without it leaving an impression. The people were so amazing! Have you ever been there?
Rob is home briefly. He has to leave on Christmas afternoon so I have to take him to the airport. He is sleeping now so I thought I would catch up with you. I had so much to do once I got home for the holidays. I wish I had at least 2 more weeks. Thank god Rob was here for 2 days to help me shop because I didn't even start shopping for my kids. We were in the car for 2 days straight, or waiting in lines, or shopping! YIKES! I am always done shopping the day after Thankgiving. I usually just have to pick up stocking stuff in December or I may have forget that I got 1 of my kids more stuff when I pull it all out and start wrapping so off to the stores in December to even it out. We came home in the wee hours Dec.20 and I had stacks of xmas cards and Shutterfly packages. I was like a kid in a candy store. Then I did 95 of my cards. I hope you got my card in time!
I hope you and your family have the best Christmas ever! I can't wait to see the photos! :)

Hi Lisa lady, I have you a dvd on the way with some (pictures???) and I just wanted to check in and say hugs to you and I know you are excited about the photography trip. It will be wonderful. Talk soon my dear lady!
12/19/2010 1:58:07 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, My dad is in the hospital with pnumonia now! I was woken up at 5:30 this morning to go to the E.R., and he was really sick, since he has congestive heart failure! So I just got home about an hour ago, and am so tired, I am going to bed early so I can go up there in the morning tomorrow! I love to be there with him, and hold his hand, and be supportive for my mom! The Dr. said he would be there until probably Tuesday at least! I don't know what else can happen! He just had cancer taken off his ear last Wednesday, and they had to take skin from his face to reconstruct the hole in the outer part of his ear! That was about a 6 hour day, sitting up there with mom! Sorry to bring bad news during the holiday's, but it seems to help to have my shutterfly friends to talk with! I sure hope you have a great Christmas holiday, and stay well!!!!! Oh, I have to tell you that my favorite Christmas album, ever since we were kids, is the Elvis Christmas album!!! I have to hear it over many times during the holidays! Debbie xoxox
12/13/2010 1:14:08 PM - 001024320926

Ho, Ho, I'm broke!!!! I love this page and I am leaving up today to enjoy the music and pics. Love and hugs to each of you........................Barbj
12/12/2010 6:00:03 PM - 002066991916
What a wonderful spirit of Christmas that you have on this page. Your header photos are always wonderful and beautiful. Have a wonderful holiday Lisa!
12/11/2010 9:00:58 PM - 003073584727
Hi! I'm new to shutterfly and I love your site. I'm wanting to add a Slide guestbook to my site as well, but I can;t get it to appear any larger? Can you tell me how you edited the size on your page?
12/5/2010 11:56:13 PM - 002059624475
Twin, how are you doing? I had to come over and "officially visit" your site. I don't do it near as much as I should!! Sounds like the weather temps are much more bearable for you. How are those 2 precious babies?? You're going to have a great time taking pictures of Kimber and Kyleigh!!
12/5/2010 2:55:11 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa....I thought I would hope over and see what my Texas Goober Girlfriend is up too. It looks like you and Diego are still the happy couple. I love the header pics. Kimber is going to be as photogenic as Kyleigh, you lucky duck you. Your little Punkin and Hummer. I loved your Pumpkin Patch Book. I posted Luke's on the Gallery but not on his site because it is a Christmas Gift. I don't have to worry about the kids seeing it because they don't go to the Gallery unless I invite them. In fact, I posted 4 books to the Gallery last evening, lol! I hope you had a good day yesterday and got to hook up with Kim. We are going to get in gear today, pack for Vegas, as we are leaving for St. Louis as soon as I get home from work tomorrow. Oh, the pictures, speaking of which, I need my LIST. Got to see what you girls have in mind, lol! Have a great Sunday and rest of the work week. Talk at ya later!
12/2/2010 7:17:34 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I had heard you were sick during the holiday! What a bummer!!!!! Glad you are feeling better now! Thanks for stopping by my site, and for the comment, in 5 more days i will be off the computer for a little while, i really don't know! It depends on how long it takes for mom to be able to do things herself again after the surgery on the 7th! I guess it is an all day thing, we have to go to 3 different building for the surgery procedure! That's because they are taking more samples of the lymph nodes before the actual surgery, and we have to wait for those results too! Then off for some kind of wire implant, and then to the actual surgery building! So next Tuesday will be a busy one for me, boy will we be tired out! Then I have to go through my computer withdrawals for a while, since I am staying at my mom's house to take care of her for a while, since dad cannot do it physically anymore! I will miss Alan, my doggies, and my shutterfly! I hate to be away from home, unless it is for vacation! Well I didn't mean to lay all that on you, it just came out! Did you hear Toni got her new camera, I am sure you have! I am so happy for her! I wanted her to get it before her cruise, and kept telling her to just get it and she finally did! Yeah!!! Those Santa photos of the girls were so adorable, I could look at them over and over! Which I have looked much more than once! Well I am trying to get around to some of my sites before I go off line for at least a week I am sure! I am catching up ahead of time on my gallery comments! So I better go before I talk your ear off! Deb xoxox
12/2/2010 3:06:47 PM - 002059400225
Just a swing by to be impressed and maybe get a little initiative -always feel the need after viewing your site to get off my keester and get going. Got a new camera and mostly overwhelmed by the options and thickness of the manual.Thanks loads for the comments you left on my site. The picture that you noticed that looked like a metal roof is actuually the bottom side of a spiral staircase. The white spot is the middle is the sky. Enjoy the day.
12/1/2010 3:48:07 PM - 002020640084
I love the new Santa, Kimber, and Kyleigh headers! Hope you are feeling better! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! :)
Its been a really stressful week. We spent Sat. at the animal hospital with Bella. She was bleeding internally and super sick with vomiting up tarry like vomit with it looked like coffee grounds. It was everywhere and she had diarrea. I was so scared and I looked online and it said it was blood and to get to the hospital. Its upper GI bleeding what we think is due to tearing from gettting into garbage. She has been rebelling since Rob moved away in August and has been getting in the garbage so we thought it was a blockage but none showed on the x-ray. They think its a tear, or a bleeding ulcer, pancratitis, or something else. They gave her anti vomiting meds then gave her fluids. Now she is being treated with meds at home that I have to administer 7 times a day and then feed her chicken and rice 4 times a day! She is improving thank God. If it was a blockage it would cost $3500 plus the $500 hospital visit. To make matters worse she ran off in the dark when Marina took her 2 nights ago. We searched for her all night and thought she either got run over or that she was running away to die. It was so scary. Then at 7am we gave up hope and opened the door and she ran in!
Can you believe I got my new Nikon D90 camera last week and its still in the box because its been so time consuming taking care of a sick dog on top of all my other stuff I have to do. I'm hoping to take it out today. Rob is home for a visit! :)
Rob is cracking up at your xmas music! He said, "Oh my god already?" LOL! :)
11/30/2010 6:43:29 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, sorry that you were under the weather, but I do hope you are feeling better now. Thanksgiving was low key and just had a simple mean with Mom & my brother. Not much is happening here. The rain and cold air is expected this week and tonight the Rockefeller Center tree is lit up. I'll be watching on the comfort of my couch. How are those adorable grandbabies? I sure hope all is well with you and your family. I haven't been on the sites in a couple of days had some chores and projects to work on. Hope to be making my rounds by the end of the week. Thinking of you even though I am not on Shutterfly. Sending good wishes your way. xoxoxox.
11/30/2010 12:26:41 AM - 002053424594
What and awesome photo book. I wish you could make me one :0)
11/28/2010 2:37:12 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, I stopped by to say I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I hope you are over your cold, no fun on the holidays especially! We had our Thanksgiving on Friday because of the snow! It was too icey for my parents and son to be on the roads! So Alan and I took a walk and went to the park, and took a few pics! It was beautiful, even if it was only 3 inches! It was extra pretty because of the trees that still have some of there fall colors on them, and a few flowers still blooming! We had our dinner on Friday, and had a lot of fun! Deb
11/26/2010 12:52:21 PM - 001081690819
Oh my gosh, Lisa, those HEADERS!!!! So much sweetness is giving me a sugar buzz! You have gotten to the professional level with that Diego guy. These photos are SO AMAZING! The strip of Kyleigh and Deigo Funshine include some of the most gorgeous closeups of Miss Kyleigh. Also love the ones of her holding Kimber....delightful. What a happy place this page is! I MUST make a commitment to spend more time on this site...it would be a shame to miss any of these enchanting pictures! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving (also hope you didn't have to work today :-) ! Love this page!!!
K. xoxo
11/25/2010 1:45:13 AM - 000051864591
Lisa...your books are wonderful! I am so overwhelmed as to where to start....ahhh!
11/24/2010 6:39:15 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING. All the best to you and your family. xoxoxoxo
11/22/2010 2:22:11 PM - 002086548916
Hey Lisa! Love your headers! So incredibly cute!!!!! And I just noticed your Pumpkin Patch book, as always...its awesome! your books are always the bomb...ba bomb bomb bomb.
11/21/2010 11:38:49 PM - 002088910291
Fabulous headers, Lisa! Have a WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING!!!!! Everyone in your family!! I wanted to keep on listening to your christmas songs, but Alan want to use the computer for a little while, I guess I will let him!!!! LOL! Deb xoxox
11/18/2010 4:47:01 PM - 002059400225
Stocking cap, an adorable child, and the striking colors of fall - add to that a person behind the lens that knows what they are doing, and you got yourself some great photos. Gotta take one more look -they make me smile. Thanks.
11/16/2010 3:53:55 PM - 002029331419
Fun stuff with those lil'girls......!! Fall is such a fun time! :0) Great shots!!
11/16/2010 2:16:20 PM - 002020640084
I love the headers with Kyleigh and Kimber in their adorable hats! :)
11/14/2010 2:57:39 PM - 002059624475
What a sweet header! Are you having fun with those 2 punkins, or what? Kyleigh's blue eyes really pop!! I've got some pictures of Lane & Jr. playing in the leaves Mike raked up Friday, I think they'll be cute on their site. I just need to get busy and keep working on my pages..............never enough time!! Miss ya, I'm going to go look around a little :)
11/12/2010 2:46:37 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, Thanks for coming by, and wishing me good tidings on my mom's prognosis! I have been slow it feels like about trying to get around to everyones site! It's hard spending time in the gallery, and trying to see everyones pictures on their sites also! I don't know how some of you who work are able to get around as fast as you do! I was so tired out today, I guess it was just the relief of some stress! Miss all you guys, I just wish we could have actually had more time to get to know each other more! It is hard to get to know 15 new people in 2 1/2 days! I think we hardly even got to really talk one on one! Maybe we will one day! Will let you go for now, I love all the darling photos of Kyliegh and Kimber! Deb
11/11/2010 7:25:36 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - just thinking about you and making a quick drive by at lunch. So, so busy at work...sigh. I am lovin' all the Kyleigh/Kinmber/florabella stuff lately - so awesome!
Poor Rico has been neglected already. After taking Dylan's senior pics, I have barely touched him - just been too darn busy with life. I'm going to try to rectify that soon, tho, and give Rico some serious love. I purchased a 50mm 1.4 lens, so I'm going to have Stacey take me out and give me lessons on how to use it without taking out-of-focus pictures...lol.
Gotta run - but have a great weekend!
11/11/2010 3:23:24 PM - 003067442378
Thanks Lisa for your comments on my Bird Photography, I'm still adding to the site. So you had a Kestrel
visiting every year, they are real neat birds, or I should say Falcons.
11/9/2010 2:02:30 AM - 002053424594
Hi Lisa, I am doing great. Can't believe fall is almost over. The picture of the little girl in the hat on your home page has gorgeous eyes! sooo cute! Yes, I am excited for Christmas to come :0) it's my favorite time of the year. How many grand children do you have? i have two boys (as you can tell lol) my youngest is 2 and my oldest is 3. They are a lot of fun! Keep in touch and have a nice night!
11/7/2010 11:32:33 PM - 001023411097
Lisa where are you!!!! I lost one of your site????? These awesome photos just kill me!
11/7/2010 3:15:46 PM - 002033426108
Hey Lisa long time no talk miss you guys a lot since Paul retired I don't seem to have as much free time go figure. but I love him being home and we are sure having a lot of fun. Kyleigh is getting so big and I love the hat pics. If you get a chance check out groups on my sight we took all our kids grandkids and great grandkids to a place in brown county Indiana called Rawhide Ranch and stayed in a big barn done into hotel rooms upstairs and barn for the horses downstairs. We had a ball 700 + pictures worth talk again soon Love Ya Donna
11/5/2010 12:49:05 PM - 002086548916
Good Morning Lisa! I hope that headache is gone and you are waking up ready to take on the day. Maybe you can get a massage this afternoon? That might help...and we all know you deserve some pampering!
11/4/2010 10:50:18 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, Love the new header with the girls. They are so precious!
11/4/2010 4:42:27 PM - 002086548916
Awww, Lisa! You're not feeling well? So sorry to hear that! I know about having killer headaches, so I feel you on that one! I hope today is a better day for you!
11/4/2010 4:25:48 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I sure hope you are feeling better today. Nothing is worse than having a headache and feeling under the weather. Lisa, the Texas heat has not arrived yet in NYC, must have gotten lost somewhere. Hope Jamie recovers from her PVS. I fully understand also about NOT being happy with photos. I always find fault with my pics. I need to let go. ;-) TTYL
11/3/2010 7:02:01 PM - 002029331419
Love the new headers!! :0)
11/2/2010 6:11:36 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE your new header on the home page. Just beautiful!!!! Love Kyleigh in her pink hat. Precious. Your headers are always fantastic.
10/31/2010 6:15:27 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Hope your having a relaxing weekend! I hope things are settling down at work! You have been whipping out photobooks are record speed! I don't know how you do it! I loved Janna's baby shower photobook! I loved Nick's birthday album! I can't believe Kyleigh will be 3 very soon! Any birthday plans for Kyleigh? I bet she is so excited! Little Miss Betty Crocker will be wanting to bake her own bday cake! Did she ask you for a bday gift yet? What is Kyleigh and Kimber going to be for Halloween? I bet Kimber is getting so big already! I can't believe she's a month old already! Does she sleep good through the night? How far away does Janna live? How often do you get to see Kimber? Does Kimber like her bathtime?
When are you leaving for Tennessee? I know you and Randy planned on taking a roadtrip in November but I wasn't sure what week! I bet you are so excited! :)
Hope you all have fun this Halloween! :)
10/26/2010 9:51:19 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, NYC is calling your name. It was great getting to know Jamie & Linda. So much fun.
10/26/2010 2:36:35 PM - 002029331419
HI Lisa! Popping in to see what you have new on your Home page....and Love your header!! All of them punkins! :0) And there's the baby shower book....cute!
So your carving pumpkins with Kyleigh this weekend....so much fun!!
I still have to pick up a few....not to carve...as much as decoration and then PIE!:0)
Can you imagine the chatter going on when Texas met New York yesterday!?!? Had to be wonderful!!
10/26/2010 12:05:20 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, it is I who loves your accent. I love it and so easy on the ear. I'd love to see you in NYC one day soon. TTY tomorrow.
10/22/2010 2:08:35 PM - 001017544077
HI Lisa! I absolutely love the pumpkin shot! I just love pumpkins!! Your site just keeps getting better and better! Ok... I'm putting you in charge of heading up the next Guru Encounter! Think of someplace you would love to go with lots of super cool gals who also love taking pictures!!
10/21/2010 9:38:57 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I love the pumpkins on your header! I just love pumpkins! I should go to a pumpkin farm near here this year and take some pics! Take my grandson, and let him get a pumpkin! I had better hurry if I am going to do it though! I am having him over this weekend I think, but it is suppose to start a storm on Saturday! Cold, windy, and wet, so maybe pumpkin time is a little late this year for me! Hope all is well with you and everything is going well at work, and with your family! I know you are probably busy with the new little Kimber and Kyleigh! I will catch you soon! Deb xoxox
10/17/2010 1:29:50 PM - 002059624475
Twin, so many wonderful things to look at on this page. The Plano Balloon pics are good too!! I'm going to look around now and see whatcha been doin'. I miss ya darlin' Can't wait to see you again. I worked on my balloon page all day yesterday - whew - I'm exhausted - ha!!
10/15/2010 10:42:12 PM - 002007382181
if you think your blizzards are bad then don't come to minnesota! our blizzards are so bad you can't see outside! and your blizzards look like a light snowfall!
10/14/2010 11:35:10 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I haven't been very good at getting to the sites this week! It seemed so hectic ever since that trip, which took a few days to recover from! My eyes are actually back to normal, not great swollen bags of tiredness! It was so fun, but it was quite different sleep wise than I am used to! I need my sleep! I don't know how some of you all went back to work, just in the next day after the trip! I wouldn't have been worth much if it was me! I bet you had loads of work stacked up when you got back too! I just wished we could have all had more time to spend with each other to get to actually know each other a little more, but it is kind of hard with 16 different women, and only actually 2 1/2 days to meet each all in! I'm not quite as outgoing as some, so hold myself back sometimes, and just like to listen to others talk! But it is great to know what each other looks like now when we write our comments, or e-mails, and can hear the different voices! It was a great experience, and good for me! I saw that Kyleigh got her ears pierced! I bet that was an experience! She will look so cute in them! Well I had better go and pay some attention to my Alan, and get my butt off this computer! Catch you later! Deb
10/14/2010 4:03:22 AM - 002035648808
Hi Gigi....how are you and Diego doing? Oh, wait, I know...you are doing fantastic. Your pics of Kimber are over the top as usual and Kyleigh is soooo darn cute. Well, girlie here are the plans for the week-end. Janna and Allen are on fall break and coming in tomorrow evening. Larry is picking Luke up Friday around noon. I am working half a day Friday..I have my hours almost in, yeah! The Annual Fall festival with parade and all will take place on Sat. Luke will get to ride his first little carnival rides...Fall will be at it's peak this week-end. Early but gorgeous and I am afraid on the short time due to the drought. Sat. evening Larry and I have an invite to a get together with our wine tasting friends, lol! That sounds strange doesn't it. Anyway, they are having a fall get together with chili and all! Sunday, I have to play the piano at church. A dear friend lost both of her parents in the last 3 years. They have put a shrine up in honor of her parents who were very service orietned. Wonderful, wonderful folks! They are having a huge dedication and a big dinner after church. I have helped her with all the flowers and she wants me to photograph the event plus play the piano. I played at her daddy's funeral and they loved the songs that he picked out. Yep, her daddy picked the songs out before he died and asked me if I would play them...Chokes me up just thinking about it. He picked out some really nice songs and they are really upbeat. I took care of both of parents when I was the Director of the Nursing home right before they past. Very special memories for me! Then, I will top the week-end off by finishing my legal case....Nap, I say, nap! Just wore myself typing all this..Hope to talk to you in person. Our hours aren't meshing girl. Ihave to keep my phone on vibrate and cannot talk on it my office. We are in a HIM building and it is super protected due to all the PHI floating around and eveyrone talking about do you know where so and so's chart is! Talk to ya soon! Have a great week-end!

Lisa,
I have been meaning to tell you Marina's big 16th bday surprise! I can't believe Rob and I kept it a secret this long and didn't spill the beans. Marina and I are going on a bday celebration cruise in December for her 16th bday. When Joe turned 16 we went on a cruise to celebrate his bday. Then awhile ago we bought gift certificates so that we could celebrate Marina's 16th bday on a cruise as well together. I was hoping the whole family could go together since they had huge deals in December for cruises on Norwegian but Joe and Rob won't be able to go. I wanted to take advantage of the huge deal! I discussed it with Rob and he told me to take Marina on a Mom/daughter cruise then him and Joe will go on a dad/son cruise in Jan or May! It depends on whenever Rob could get off when Joe is off. I guess Rob gets to pick his 2011 vacations in November but since he is low senority at this plant(they didn't do his 14 years they go by start date and who is older at start date) so we aren't sure when he could get off in 2011. Anyways, Joe loves the idea and so did Marina. I'm so excited! I think its only 8 weeks away! The cruise is an Eastern Caribbean cruise that leaves Dec. 12-Dec. 19. It will be so much fun! :)

Lisa,
I left you a few travel quotes! Yesterday we had another little bday celebration for Marina at Dave and Busters with her friend Meghan, her friend Concetta, Joe, & Garrett! It was so much fun! The kids bumped into a bunch of Bills players and asked if they could get phtos with them and the Bills players were more than happy to take photos. At first I was at the table and they ran and got me and the one Bills player waited for Marina and his wife seen her and goes oh there she is and grabbed Marina's camera and took some for Marina and then I took some with my camera. Isn't that so sweet? Joe is the one who spotted them but was so embarrassed because the Bills players were out for a good time with their families and Joe didnt' think anyone should have bugged them. I agree to a point but they seemed really good about it and almost like it made their outing even more special. Everyone left them alone and they were all having such a good time with their family's so it was a brief few minutes of their time signing autographs and taking some photos. They were good sports and had such supportive family's! It was definately the highlight of our Dave and Buster's little 16th bday celebration! :)
How is Kimber doing? How is Jana doing? How much did Kimber weigh when she left the hospital? Did Kyleigh get to see Kimber yet? How did she react? I can't wait to see the photos and hear all about it! Have a great weekend! :)
10/8/2010 6:20:44 PM - 002020640084
I'm back to say thanks for the bday wishes for Marina's 16th birthday you left on my sharesite! We had lots of bday celebrations and more to come! LOL! I'll tell you all about it when I get some free time! You are so thoughtful and sweet! Have a good day! XOXO
10/8/2010 6:03:42 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm glad you liked the sunflower album. It was super sunny and with my crappy camera they didn't come out that well but I wanted Rob to see how tall the sunflowers got. That day we were heading out and I told Marina to stand by the sunflowers while I ran to get the camera. She was in a hurry and then we went to IN that week so by the time we came back they were dead and bent over. Oh....well....like you always say, "ANY PICTURE IS BETTER THAN NO PICTURE" or something close to that saying! LOL!
Anyways, I bet you are exhausted from all the excitement these past 2 weeks. I'm so happy you got to snuggle with Kimber when you got back from your trip! She's so beautiful! I loved all the photos on fb, SF Guru Central, & here! I looked at them so many times. I got interrupted and couldn't comment the other day so I wanted to swing back here to comment.
We had so much fun while Rob was home for the 1st time! I will tell you all about it another day I have so much to do today. The visit went by so fast and we were all sad to see Rob go. When Rob got back to his apartment alone in Indianna he couldn't sleep all night because he missed us so much! It broke my heart! He was here at home in NY and surrounded by all our love and attention then had to go back to an empty apartment 500 miles away from his family! Its really difficult.
Anyways, just stopped by to say hi! I hope you have a wonderful weekend! :)
10/5/2010 1:38:41 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Welcome home! I hope you had tons of fun in NM! I can't wait to see all the photos you took and can't wait to hear all about your trip to NM! I bet you missed Kyleigh, Kimber, and your family so much when you were gone! I wanted to stop by real quick since my honey is just waking up! Its Rob's 1st time home since he moved away in August. Today we are celebrating Marina's 16th bday since Rob won't be here on Marina's real birthday on Thursday! He leaves tomorrow already! His visit went by way to fast! We will be so sad to see him go:(
10/4/2010 9:18:11 PM - 002088910291

LISA, 6 DAYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9/24/2010 5:45:13 AM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa.....well, a little over 24 hours and I will be a MIL. And as you said, us Goobers are the best, lol! 8 days and counting...Can't wait to actually see everyone in person. Exciting times. I really appreciate all the kind, thoughtful comments that you leave on my site. I know how hard it is to get to sites with all that is going on. You are more busy than I am I think, lol! Oh, guess what..there is a young man that I work with in my office. His name is Trevor. He has been peeking at my thank you cards and such that Ihave made Jeff and Mary on SF. He asked if I was a professional photographer and of course I cracked up laughing. Anyway, he and his fiance is expecting Little Lilleth the 1st of Jan. and he wants me to do her pictures. I immediately said of course, and he wanted to know how much it would cost. When I told him free he lit up like a Christmas Tree. He wants me to something with all their ultrasounds. Their Doc gives them about 20 each month. How sweet is that. I might have to pick your brain on that one. He also wants belly pics plus they are going to cast her belly and decorate it (the cast that is). I have never heard of it, but evidentely it is becoming quite popular. There are plaster of paris kits that are used for this very thing. Did I read that Jana is going to have C-section next Wed. What is going on for her to have to have a c-section. Is the baby breech and won't turn? Just worried. I some how missed that conversation. Hard to keep up with you guys :) Well, I am going to sign off. Have a great week-end and will check in from time to time to catch up on the chit chat!
9/21/2010 6:58:20 PM - 001061427203
Thanks for stopping by Kevins site, he is new to the shared site and he left a message for you but put it on his site...this was what he wrote, "Thank you Lisa. I will more than likely reach out. I mostly used Shutterfly for just photo prints, which they do an amazing job. Now it seems they are getting the "Facebook" style site, which I like a lot.
You will LOVE Alaska. If you go, try to do the two weeks if you can. I recommend the land first, where you will travel by train for 6 days and then do the cruise... unbelievable.
My next adventure will be to go to South Africa, but that's not for a few years as that is very expensive but I need to get there"
9/21/2010 5:04:02 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, i am sure iwill text you sometime between now and your goober get together but i wanted to stop by and wish you a amazing time. I am looking forward to meeting Connie next myself :).
Also, at my best friends wedding this past weekend one of her good friends took the pictures and as i was talking to him found out he really loves shutterfly and has started a shared site himself. I asked him if i could share his link with everyone and he loved that, he is not a professional, he is just like us learning as he goes but he has taken some amazing scenery/landscaping images. His site is http://kevinmichael.shutterfly.com/.
9/21/2010 12:01:28 AM - 002059400225
In regard to the header pictures - GREAT colors and textures. Something about little girls and brightly colored shoes that just go togather. Come to think of it seems that girls of all ages love shoes - beats the heck out of getting stickers in the souls. Not sure what I meant by this either so don't spend any time on it. This is always a go place to go a looking - thanks.
9/20/2010 9:24:01 PM - 002029331419
Mad at Gigi....hehe.....
9/18/2010 8:53:31 PM - 000076820331
P.S. The ruffled skirt dress...Kaylee calls that her "chicka boom boom" skirt and does a little dance!
9/18/2010 8:52:30 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, Love all the new pictures you've added to this page! Kyleigh is such a sweetheart!
9/15/2010 6:36:13 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I am blessed to have you as a friend. Sending many good wishes your way. Thanks for thinking of me and my family these past few days. xoxoxoxoxo
9/10/2010 1:59:12 AM - 002088910291
Just got your message, and we are running out the door! Thanks for the send off! See everyone on sfly Monday or Tuesday!!!! Bye, Deb
9/7/2010 7:25:02 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, You are a truly thoughtful and sweet person, God bless you my dear. Thanks for all your birthday wishes. It is appreciated. Sending hugs your way. xoxoxoxoxo
8/30/2010 12:03:42 PM - 002020640084
I had to stop back to tell you this:
By the way, Rob already figured out how to comment on my sharesite. Rob doesn't use the computer and has very little computer skills! My sharesite is keeping him so busy and its helping him cope with not being here in NY with us! I am so grateful for my sharesite! :)
Isn't that so exciting?!!!!
8/30/2010 11:32:38 AM - 002020640084
ITS BEEN A CRAZY 2 WEEKS TO SAY THE LEAST! WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED EVERY OBSTACLE HUMANLY POSSIBLE IN THESE 2 WEEKS!!!! ITS BEEN A NIGHTMARE!
Anyways, Rob left for IN on Sat.! I was so heartbroken and upset to see him go! We have barely ever been apart in 20 years. Rob was gone 2 times for like 2-3 days and I went to visit my brother when he was in Kentucky a few years ago for like 3 days!
Today Marina and I are going to IN to help Rob get situated with his apartment. We planned on leaving Friday to get in the apartment but it didn't work out and turned into a REAL NIGHTMARE! (LONG STORY). Rob had to pack up his car and be in a hotel the past few days. I was so heartbroken! I tried so hard to avoid that situation and it got all messed up. It was so disappointing! Rob and my brother Anthony will be sharing an apartment for now.
I figured it would be better if I got there when Marina and I could help with the apartment. I will be here in NY until we rent out or sell our house. I was just focusing on getting Rob an apartment and getting him situated then I will try to figure out if I want to rent or sell. We really don't have the money to pay for 2 homes in 2 states and to wait for the house to sell. We will most likely rent out our house. I hope and pray that my friends Aunt will be able to rent it. She even has interest in buying it because she going through a divorce but isn't sure when she will get money. She asked if she could rent out our house but at the time I thought we would be able to just put it up for sale and move on with our lives without worrying about if something goes wrong with the house or if someone we rent to destroys it.
Anyways, its my 1st roadtrip with me driving. I only went on the thruway/highway about 20 times in my life so this is going to be a HUGE challenge! I live in the suburbs of Buffalo, NY and to drive to the apartment in Indianna its over an 8 hour drive! I'm hoping and praying we make it there safely! I have to go and get ready. I will be back Friday night. If Marina is bored to tears we will leave on Thursday morning and be home Thursday evening.
I hope Marina likes the area. I found an area where you could walk to little shops and restaurants. Its the only area I found that is somewhat like home. I'm excited to go and explore!
GOOD NEWS...I WILL ALSO BE MOVING CLOSE TO ALICIA. I'M SO EXCITED! We are going to meet up this fall. Right now I am taking it minute by minute so its hard to plan ahead but I'm sure things will be more situated in a few weeks that I can plan for a get together. It will be so much fun. She's such a sweetheart and emailed me info about the covered bridge festival in IN! It made my day! :)
You already know that I'm going to be close to Connie! Then closer to Cheri and Karen. I think I will even be close to Vickie! Alicia said she would love to have a MIDWEST shutterfly meetup! That would be so cool! :)
I hope you had a wonderful weekend with cool breezes and mild temperatures! I can't handle the heat and I feel bad you have had such high temps over the summer.
Have a great week! :)
8/29/2010 11:08:39 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, Love the aquarium picstures. You have to give the detail on the cattle drive. I'm sure that little plaque tells something but i have bad eyes and can't read it! LOLOL Going to look around a little more....
8/29/2010 5:20:20 PM - 001076975951
Love the new header Lisa, Really cool. Glad you like the quotes I shared last week. More to come in the following days. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Yesterday the roads led us to Governor's Island. Some new pictures posted on the travel site. Anyway hope you are feeling well and I look forward to all you have to share from the postcards, digi scrappin and kind and thoughtful comments. Always my best wishes to you Lisa. Have a Happy Sunday. xoxoxoo
8/27/2010 3:38:07 AM - 002020640084
Marina was sitting with me when I read your comment about you singing the Black Eyed Peas and we laughed so hard! I told her that we will be closer to Texas now and we could go visit and that you would be the best tour guide ever! She was so excited! I hope we can travel to Texas someday and see you! It would be so fun!
Hope Ryder's bday was amazing! :)
The hats and photoshoot ideas for your new bundle of joy arriving Oct.1 sounds so precious! I can't wait! I hope Kimber holds off until you are back from New Mexico or arrives before you leave! It will be hard to leave if she's born before the trip, though!
I love the aquarium photos!
I will have to email you this week with all the nightmares we are encountering! I didn't think things could get any worse!
8/26/2010 10:10:59 PM - 000074469281
I'm here!! Can you believe it!! I love the No laughing photos of Kyleigh!! Can she seriously be any cuter!! What a doll. Are those peaches in the visiting your folks? Kyleigh looks like a pro with her camera!!
8/26/2010 2:31:04 PM - 002059400225
Film strip of "No Laughing Young Lady" makes me smile. If only more adults could show the joy of a child there would be a whole lot fewer jerks and a falsh flood of happy. Keep a grinning, snapping, sharing and thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
8/25/2010 12:40:34 AM - 002020640084
I just found your book in the gallery and commented on it! Your Christmas book is truly magical! I love it! :)
8/24/2010 11:20:31 PM - 002020640084
By the way,
your Fredricksburg book is a masterpiece! As soon as I take another break this week I will look it up! If you get a chance please email it to me if you posted it to the gallery! I will get to it as soon as I can. I miss the gallery and visiting sites so much! I can't wait until my life calms down. I really don't know how much longer my body can handle all this running on adrenaline and stress! I have sooo much to fill you in about but I will try to email you as soon as I could!
The Black Eyed Peas concert was so much fun! Hoping to post some of those real soon! :)
The yard sales in early Aug. was fun w/ Mason stopping over and wanting to sell lemonade! I will have to post those photos when I get a chance! :)
8/24/2010 11:13:50 PM - 002020640084
Thanks for stopping by my sharesite! Your comments always soothe my soul and cheer me up! Thanks so much for all your support. You can't imagine how much it helps in this chaotic time in my life! I really don't know what I would do or how I would cope without all my shutterfly family! I truly look forward to any time I need to relax and have a few minutes to jump on the computer to see all the shutterfly love sent my way! It makes me feel so good. I'm so grateful for all my shutterfly friends and that I have met you! Thanks so much for all your support!
We just got back from IN and I'm so exhausted from everything! We had the moving sale Friday and Sat. and we sold so much stuff it was unreal. We were swamped with people. I put it on Craigslist both days which worked out so good. I still have people emailing me through craigslist about items we sold.
Happy Birthday to Rider! What do you have planned for his birthday? I hope its filled with lots of love, family, friends, good food, lots of laughs, & delicious cake! :)
Marina is doing much better! Thanks for asking! She is wise beyond her years! Marina always struggled with Math and failed algebra this year. She could of took the course over next year or took it in summer school. I felt so bad for Marina since this is her last summer here in NY and she would have to sit in school 4 days a week and get up early. I told Marina it was her decision and she chose to do summer school. She is such a responsible kid. Marina worked so hard in summer school so I hope and pray she passed! We are on pins and needles waiting for her exam results! Joe just got a big raise this month at his very 1st job, got his 1st car, made his college schedule, & has been cooking up a storm when we are gone to IN! I am so grateful I have such amazing kids! I'm so proud of them! :)
8/22/2010 8:15:56 PM - 001072456079
Beautiful stuff! I love your site. So much going on and such wonderful pics! Thanks!
8/20/2010 6:03:42 PM - 002067758981
Lisa, love the NOT laughing photos.....lol
Love th Fredericksburg book!!!
8/15/2010 2:14:28 PM - 002059624475
Kyleigh, you're just the cutest!! Twin, you do such a great job. I'll say it again....the Fredricksburg album is the "bomb"! I better do some cleaning up on my site, I'll need room for our NM pictures and I'm sure we'll have tons!!
8/12/2010 11:10:21 AM - 000096883315
That Kyleigh gets cuter every day. She is looking so grown up. Don't you wish we could slow down time for a while? It is so much fun playing with them at this age. Hope you are doing well and taking good care of Diego!
8/11/2010 2:34:05 PM - 002020640084
By the way,
training camp was so much fun! I got a bunch of photos! Marina didn't want to go with us but we took the boys and they all had a blast! :)
8/11/2010 2:32:31 PM - 002020640084
Rob just talked to the people who do the hiring in IN and he has to report on this Friday at 9:30AM to go for a tour! Can you believe that? A 48 hour notice?!!! Its crazy! It looks like we are going to IN in the morning! I hope and pray they give Rob at least 4-6 weeks before he has to report to work. One of Rob's coworkers went to IN but a different plant and they asked if he needed time and he asked for 4 weeks. The other plants usually only give them a few days and they start work! Hopefully he can start Oct. 1 so he can get an apartment. I'm thinking we may have to rent our house so we may all be leaving together. My brother put in his paperwork the same day and he got called as well. I'm happy my brother, sister in law, & 3 nieces will be going. I hope Marina and my niece Kaylee can be in the same high school together. I don't know what they are doing but I know they thought about renting their house out. They have a garage apartment with tenants to they thought of renting out the area they live in. I will keep you updated!
On the bright side....tonight is the Black Eyed Peas concert! I bought tickets a few months ago for my nieces! It will be Kaylee, Kelsey, Joe and Marina all going with me! I'm so excited about that! It will be a big distraction from all the stuff going on!
8/11/2010 2:23:40 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Thanks for all your words of wisdom and advice! Marina seems to be doing so much better this week thank god! We begged her to take her out for the day to go to the beach, the park, zoo, or amusement park but she said we could just go to lunch. Rob and I wanted her to go to the drive in with us but she didn't want to go on the weekend. Then yesterday we took her to lunch and went shopping for school clothes. I love the idea of having Marina take photos of all the places here that she loves! I was thinking of doing something like that but didn't think to have Marina do her own photobook! Now that she is doing better I will suggest it! I worry it may make her really realize everything she will be missing. I'm not sure. She might not be able to handle that until we come back here for a visit.
My computer crashed and I've been without a computer since Friday! It was acting up and on Sat at 6:45AM it crashed! On Monday it went to the shop to get fixed! I'm sneaking on Marina's laptop real quick! We felt like we didn't have any choice but to put the paperwork into the IN plant since PA and OH didn't work out! Yesterday Rob got a call from IN so we will be moving ASAP! I was hoping to try to sell our house but we are so broke and the rents are outrageous in IN! They are 3times to 8 times more expensive than here in my area! I really don't know how we would afford it so I'm thinking we have no choice but to rent out our house! I don't want to do it. Its stinks because we wasted thousands of dollars going to PA, OH, & IN! Then spent a ton of money on repairs for the house and getting it ready to sell! Then money going to Canada for days while Rob was redoing the floors! I can't believe I will be 8.5 hours away from Joe! I can't even think about it! This whole situation is going to be so difficult! All the support and prayers have helped so much since we don't have any support here!
8/10/2010 11:38:38 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, Love the new home page header. Just beautiful. Thanks for stopping by yesterday. It does seem that I will get to meet Jamie & her mom before I meet you & Jean. Never give up we may get a chance to meet someday.
Had a beautiful weekend weather wise this past Saturday & Sunday. It was in the 80's and it was the way I really like it. Have things cooled down a bit in Texas?
Sorry about your car bumping into Nick's. The main thing is that no one was hurt. All else will have some solutions. Cheer up and just say to yourself tomorrow is another day. That is what I say to myself when I'm feeling down or upset about something.
Lisa, I will have to return and visit all you latest photos of Kyleigh and Kimber's new page. Have a great day. Keep cool and in the A.C. Hope you have a good day.
8/9/2010 4:36:02 PM - 002029331419
No Laughing..............well, you know what that does to a lil punkin!! haha!! Nice touch Gigi!!
8/9/2010 4:13:22 PM - 001017544077
Hi Lisa! (Love the name Ella Snaps too). Also thanks for welcoming me as a new guru! I am so excited to join this great group of folks. I love you site and looking at all the pictures. I especially love the one with Grandpa getting lipstick :) I also really like the Map of where your guests are from...think I will add that to my site as well. Looking forward to talking more.
8/7/2010 9:55:32 PM - 000034909909
Love the images, great wedding shots.
8/5/2010 6:00:36 PM - 002059400225
The picture in the above banner of the building with the two angels is an eye catcher. Thinking I was born about two hundred years too late, as the more ancient holds a real fascination for me - love the craftmanship. On the otherhand how previous generations lived could be very hard. Guess I'll just be happy with my AC and indoor plumbing and be in in awe and what they left behind. Keep a snapping and I'll keep a snooping.
8/4/2010 11:13:22 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, Thanks for stopping by my site and all the nice comments you left. I'm so blessed to have you as a friend! Love the pic of Kyleigh and the camera in the header. We're training up the girls the right way! Always love what you're always doing at your site. YOu have the knack! Gonna take a look around. Hope all went well for you today.
8/4/2010 10:19:38 PM - 002063504014
Lisa,
Long time no hear, I know your schedule has changed! I just viewed Starla's wedding album, you did a terrific job of putting all the pictures together, looked like a fun and casual wedding. I hope life is treating you well during the summer months, I will look around some more.

Good MORNING Lisa!!!! Look, its me, trying to get caught up with my shutterfly friends. How the heck are you? I know we keep in touch on FB, which I think is so much easier for communicating, but I wanted to come by and see what kind of new pics you had up, so I am off to explore your pages. Hope you have a simply wonderful day!

7/30/2010 2:39:28 PM - 003014405543
Hi Lisa, i am asking everyone questions for my first photobook and since i love your work i was wondering do i have to use photo shop for a good book and do it help it at all...help please i am so scared lol. toya xoxo
7/29/2010 4:06:38 AM - 002035648808
Hello, Lisa.....wow everytime I come to your site, I am blown away. Your page changes constantly. How do you download your stuff so fast. I am months and months behind on pics. I just really checked out Starla's wedding pics. You did a fantastic job on them by the way. I love the Hawaiin them by the way. The pics at the "folks' are over the top. Little Kyleigh is growing up so darn fast. She is not a toddler anymore Gigi. She is getting to be such a big girl, and so adorable. I love the pic of her with the camera. Luke is starting to think that MeMa has a camera around her neck all the time.
It was the funniest thing on Saturday when I took my best friend, Jean, up to St. Louis with me. We got out of the vehicle. I got out first and Luke did his usual running to me yelling MeMa, MeMa! Jean got out, and he stopped dead in his tracks, studied her for the longest time and said, Papa? Papa? He just had the oddest expression and couldn't figure why Papa looked so differently. We laughed most of the week-end and are still laughing about it. He and his Papa are pretty dange thick! Of course Larry just eats it up! The photoshoot went pretty good, if you take away the 101 degree temps with 90% humidity. Yike! We liked tohave burned up. It was short and sweet and the pics turned out "okay". Mary and Jeff like them so I guess that is all that counts.
Need some prayers sent my way. I hurt my back pretty badly today. I am off for 3 days from work. I drove my self this morning with a hurt back and only could stay for about 2 hours and then my boss carted me off to ER because I couldn't really walk. Both feel went numb and my legs kept trying to buckle. Hopefully the steroids and muscle relaxers will fix me. Got to run around at the Ballon fest to keep up with the Goobs, lol!
Take care and have a great week. Oh, I got about 1/10 of my million pics posted. Come by and check em out. I am only 3 months behind, lol!
7/28/2010 2:34:12 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa!! Great new pictures!! Kyleigh jumping on the bed...now that's one way to entertain them! haha!
Love the time with your Mom...did you put Diego down long enough to help her with the peaches...? Or did she have to do them all on her own? ;0)
Wow...I think that if we could ask the Rhino he'd even say it was Hot there too! LOL!
...and I'm loving the Stockyard pictures....how fun!! Great job on getting your pics up from this past weekend!
7/23/2010 6:24:37 AM - 003039476979

LOVE LOVE the sparkler shots. Very impressive. I need to stop back. I'm behind on all your photos!!
7/14/2010 4:33:59 PM - 001081690819
Oh Lisa, these sparkler shots with Kyleigh are the stuff dreams are made of! I would kill to have some shots like this of Max when he was little. You must make an album out of these. Too, too wonderful not to!!!! Just love them. And I will have to get with you on HOW you did it! I've never tried anything so daring. Love this page, girlfriend! K.
7/13/2010 7:54:02 PM - 000085599530
You re header pics are killer. Those on line lessons paying off for sure. I am sorry about being a slaker on site visits... The kids are wearing me down this summer as I am entertainment director.... Alyssa got a PS3 for her birthday and is now playing video games....bliss for me...Shutterfly time.. Bad mommy ;) Lots left for us in summer.....!!
7/12/2010 8:42:20 PM - 000059716845
Wow, you take the most amazing pics. It is always so fun to see what is new with your family. I just love the fireworks pics. You are amazing!
Cheers, Kari Garis
7/11/2010 6:38:09 AM - 002020640084
Oh....& thanks again for the bday wishes! I loved the cake you made me! I was so excited I checked it out before we left for Canada! That was so sweet of you!
On my bday we found out bad news about my aunt that she's really sick and has cancer but doesn't want anyone to know! I was so shocked and upset to hear the news! I had 2 sad birthdays in a row but then my nieces came to visit & that cheered me up! They are so sweet! My niece Kourtney is talking up a storm now! It was a riot when everyone was singing to me she said Happy Birthday! Can you believe that?!!! I looked in amazement and asked everyone if they heard Kourtney and Joe was standing next to me cracking up and said she did say it! :)
7/11/2010 6:22:39 AM - 002020640084
I love the fireworks headers! Truly magical! I hope to someday have a REAL camera that can take nighttime photos! I did luck out last year with some good fireworks photos, though! This year I didn't go to any firework displays! Joe bought fireworks with his money and blew some off for my bday! LOL! I hate fireworks at homes and regular people blowing them off because its so dangerous! I perfer to watch the experts blow them off! Joe begged me but it makes me so nervous that someone will get hurt that I can't enjoy home blown off fireworks!
I'm so happy you liked the Quilt Garden postcard from IN! :)
Mason had surgery Friday! My brother told me last week it was going to be 3 surgeries & I was so confused! At first my brother said Mason was having his tonsils out, a growth on his ear removed, and a lump in his neck removed! I never heard of 3 surgeries at once and everytime I talked to my brother he was unsure and confused! They just took a growth off his ear and biopsied the lump in his neck but the lump was fine so they left it! Thank God! He called today for his Reenie! That's what he calls Marina! LOL! He said, "Auntie can you wake Reenie up and ask her if she wants to go to the carnival with us!" He's so cute! I felt so bad about his ear but he's fine! Rob said he seen it w/out a bandage and its super swollen! They put 2 inner stitches and 2 outer stitches! :( I hope and pray it heals alright!
Yes....we were in Canada this week while Rob was refinishing the hardwood floors! It was 92 and the real feel temp was 102! I can't handle that kind of heat and humidity! I feel bad for you with the 100 degree temps! Hope your keeping cool!
Have a good day! :)
7/10/2010 8:44:29 PM - 000096883315
I love the cousin pictures! You can see the sparkle in their eyes. Is that mischief? Couldn't be from those adorable faces!
7/7/2010 11:27:18 PM - 001062713509

7/6/2010 3:10:49 PM - 002059624475
Nice header Lisa. I sent you a book that I made for Lilly yesterday. Let me know what you think when you have a chance to look at it. It was Otto's 1st job. I'm making the book for her to give to her on her birthday on Sept. 2nd, when we head down to the wedding :) Hope you're having a good day Twin.

Happy 4th Lisa. I hope you all have wonderful exciting plans for the week-end. Or, you could just try and stay cool. Hot, hot, hot is all I can say about our stinkin weather, lol! Janna, Allen, Patrick (my 16 year old nephew) are going to camp tomorrow (oopps, actually today, lol) for a week. Well, the Goober Fest is coming up quickly. Anxious to get some airline tickets, ugh! I am so excited to get to meet all you wonderful folks. I can't believe Joey is coming. This is going to be just fabulous. How much fun! Have a great week and hug and kisses for Kyleigh. OH, and love the headers :)
7/1/2010 2:37:32 PM - 002028325082

7/1/2010 2:31:24 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa! I'm just coming to give you an official Happy 4th of July...since I'll be traveling over the weekend.
Hanging out with the Sisters is going to be great!! Are you going to have sparklers for Kyleigh? I bet it would be super cool for pictures! I'm not sure what the 'Reunion committee' has in mind for fireworks..so we'll see what I come up with ! Have a most fun weekend!
6/29/2010 7:02:14 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I heard that little Kyleigh was sick, I hope you don't get sick too! How is your class going, I have not heard anything about it lately! I bet you would love our weather right about now! It is in the cool 60's to low 70's! It is so strange to still be using the heat in the mornings into July! It is suppose to maybe even rain a little bit more on the holiday! Oh well, I like this better than 80's and above! I hope you don't cook too much down south! We may be cooking in the next couple of months, who knows! I went to a butterfly house in Seattle, and it did not have very many kinds of butterfly's, but it was fun trying to catch them anyway! I have to find time to post pics sometime here! I can hardly keep up with my site, others sites, and Guru stuff! Besides still having time to do my everyday kind of things, such as clean house , garden, and take photos! The photos of Kyleigh with the flag are very cute, I especially love her little red shoes with the frilly white socks! Catch you later deb
6/29/2010 7:00:06 PM - 001061427203
Thanks for checking out my newest book; I had a lot of fun putting it together, it took me a while to organize but I finally did it, whoohooo. So you ask if I got permission to use those photos......heck no, I did not ask anyone, they would have all certainly said no, but now that most of them have seen it they all laughed and said it was their favorite book :). Well Brady woke up this morning feeling better, thank goodness, Tom was going to sleep in his bedroom next to him all night...he is such a good daddy. Well gotta get home and get the laudry going, gotta get some cloths clean so I can pack for the weekend (heading to Tom's parents in Massachussettes).
6/28/2010 5:57:24 PM - 001076975951
Happy Monday Lisa, Hope you had a great weekend and time for yourself too. Did you have an new adventures? My weekend was low key. Church and visiting my mom yesterday and otherwise didn't go anywhere special. And still no plans for the holiday weekend, how about you? How is cutie pie Kyleigh? Today we are having a HOT one with temps well into the 90's and maybe a shower is expected this afternoon. So any news on the cruise planning with Jamie. I booked my cruise for next September 2011 and I am so excited!!!!! We are cruising Europe again. I NEVER tire of that destination. It is a 12 day cruise and I'll share the info on my travel site later in the week. Otherwise no other news,... Oh yes 1 more thing...Stephanie is going on vacation in 2 weeks to visit a friend in L.A. and they will drive down to San Diego. She got my fever for travel, LOL 
and I hope she returns with tons of great pictures. Oh well just wanted to share the latest and say HI. I'll catch you later my friend.
6/28/2010 1:02:12 PM - 001061427203
hey there, sorry did not text you yesterday, we were in the yard working most of the day and I only caught the highlights on ESPN later in the night. We are heading to Tom's parents for the holiday weekend since Tom's job gave him Monday off...whoohooo, his first day off during the week since he started (he doesn't get any official time off for a entire year...though his employeer is incrediable and really working with him on a few days for the 2 wedding we have). Brady's birthday is Monday July 5th and he is VERY VERY excited about that, we are going to do a little mini party at his grandparents house for his since many of them dont usually get to see him on his birthday; then we are throwing him his big party on July 11th. :).

Great Pics! You have a talent! - Susie, Houston, TX
6/26/2010 7:08:49 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I updated my latest news page with a journal entry of the lastest and craziest relocating news! I added the album on that page of Mason with his 1st crush! You will laugh so hard at those photos! Mason is becoming quite the ladies man! I was in shock! He even was wresling w/ Samantha and kissed her! I couldn't believe it! I got the photo of his 1st kiss! It will be so funny to show him when he's 17 or 18! LOL! :)
Hope the weather cooled down for you! Its a nice 70 degree day! Julie is having 91 degree weather in Kansas today! This is the 1st time our weather & Julies Kansas weather has been way off! When I go to her site we are usually have the same weather! LOL! I had no idea they had similiar weather!
Any plans for the 4th of July?
Oh....I forgot to tell you I found a perfect pinata on the Party City website for Joe's grad party! Its a hundred dollar bill $$$$! I'm so excited! I told you about the popcorn, snocone, & cotton candy rentals! I hope we can get them! It will be so much fun! :)
Hope you enjoy the weekend! :)
6/26/2010 4:35:15 PM - 002035648808
Wow Lisa....Kyleigh is so big looking and just gorgeous. I just really looked a the headers with my reading glasses. And, I took a good look at your iPhone photobook. Are those picnik layout? They are just gorgeous. Janna and I are planning a photoshoot of Luke after his nap this afternoon. It should be great.
I can't wait til NM in October. It will be one week after Jeff and Mary get married :) Luke is doing just great this week-end. We are having a blast with the little guy. I have already taken 400 pics of him. We took him to the St. Louis for a couple hours before driving home with him yesterday. We took him to the childrens part. We had a blast with him. He has only cried one time since we have had him.
I hope all is going well with you. So, what about these stinkin 100 degree temps with humidity through the roof. We are literally buring up here. Only 1 rain in the last 4 weeks, ugh!
Well, I got to run. It is Luke's nap time and the computer is in his room:) Catch ya later :)
6/26/2010 2:01:23 AM - 002020640084
I love the new Independance Day headers! They are amazing! :)
Joe graduated last night! I'm so proud of him! We had a wonderful night & mini celebration at the Cheesecake Factory! His grad party is on July 17. I have so much to do before then!
I'm so happy you enjoyed the story about Mason being in love with an older girl! He's a riot! I posted those photos on my latest news page! We are in for some trouble he's 3 years old and already kissing older girls! LOL!
I feel bad that the weather has been brutally hot there! I can't handle that kind of heat! Do you have central air at home? I would imagine that every home comes w/ central air in Texas! Hope Mother Nature brings you nice cool breezes & some 75-80 degree days! :)
Marina didn't get to see the schools yet. I will tell you more about that. Its a long story! I really should update my latest news page then everyone will know what's going on and I won't have to type the same things over and over! It makes sense, right?!! LOL! Ikeep saying that I will but dont get to it! I love the journals and that i what the purpose of it is for! LOL!
Thanks for stopping by and checking in on me! I miss you & everyone! I tried catching up this week & loved every minute of it! :)
6/22/2010 6:29:26 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Your new header is FABULOUS!!!! I hope your Goober Cruise is within reach and it will be a reality for the Goobers. . Can't wait to hear the details. Thanks for always stoping by to say HI when you have a few extra moments. Rest up Lisa and take it easy.
6/22/2010 3:19:00 PM - 002029331419
Lisa!! Love the 4th of July pics! :0) very cute...and she seemed to be having fun with it! :0)
Of course your two new books, Jason & Starla and the Easter book are Fantastic !!!!!! Both of them are just great!
6/20/2010 5:05:03 AM - 002066991916
Hi Lisa, It is very nice to stop by your site and see if what is new with you. WOW Starla & Jayson wedding are so wonderful. Say Congrats to them.
Sure, maybe we are going to bump in New Mexico if David and I decide to see the Air Balloon Festival. I will let you know.
6/19/2010 12:53:13 AM - 002086360191
Lisa: Wow, what a fun packed site and very popular too. You make people look good or maybe you just know beautiful people. Thanks for visting our cross country bike ride site and leaving a message. Now that I know about your site, I will have to keeping checking in on your work.

6/17/2010 6:57:24 PM - 003038568634
Hey Lisa - What a great site! The pictures are wonderful and I love the way you have organized it all. I'm in awe!!!
6/17/2010 12:42:26 PM - 002034438206
Lisa, Your site is fabulous! That's for stopping by site and leaving a message... it was very nice to hear your thoughts. I'm off to explore your world... Thanks again!
6/16/2010 11:24:23 PM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa!! Love your site every time I come here. Makes me smile!! How is your class going?
I think (hope) we are going to lakes this weekend. Its been rainy and icky ever since Memorial weekend. My sister's birthday party is July 2nd and i thought we were going to the lakes Saturday. My parents get so nervous with everyone throwing fireworks at the same time. So we are staying in town. It is fast approaching. What happened to June? Its slipping by! My mom's birthday is the 26th so i'm assuming we will go to the lakes then, but who knows. My parents are getting fickle in their 'older' age.
Catch ya later!
6/15/2010 11:29:03 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I think you will do very well on your assignment! Just don't worry to much about it! I know it is hard not to sometimes! But just do your best! Diego is very smart! It had some sun today, but it is in the 60's and doesn't seem to want to get to 70 yet, until this weekend! A few more thunder showers on the way the weatherman said, and the snow level is down to 4500 feet!!! That is so unusual for us! Deb
6/13/2010 1:49:44 AM - 001081690819
Oh, I forgot to ask...what is the "Goober" site you referred to in GC?
6/13/2010 1:47:33 AM - 001081690819
Hi Lisa! I get so overwhelmed when I enter your site. I don't know where you find the time to put all these wonderful pages together! Hope you are having a good weekend......as for me, I'm hoping to hear from Max. He PROMISED he'd call. Guess there's no phone service in all those places he is traveling to ha ha. Still doing the weed pulling thig, but I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been so out of touch, I didn't even know you were moving into another office. Is everything going ok on that front? I'll be back to discover more new stuff on your fabulous site! And thanks again for all the help getting mine up and running! You da bomb!
6/13/2010 1:29:59 AM - 001059933021
The startlingly beautiful Kyleigh looks great in many photos. She steals your attention in playful poses and always managing to steal the spotlight from others. Adorable girl! A truly lucky girl indeed!
Lisa, I always love reading your comments with genuine sincerity. Thanks for visiting my site!
6/12/2010 4:21:50 PM - 002035648808
Oh, and watch out NM. It may never be the same after October, lol!
6/12/2010 4:21:23 PM - 002035648808
Wow Lisa...has it been that long since I have stopped by. Surely not. I think you have just been super-duper busy putting up new pics, lol! I love the pics of Starla's wedding. You should be proud of the job that you did. Getting ready to hop in the shower and then Larry and I off to a full-filled afternoon at a winery about 1 1/2 hour from here close to the Mississippi River at St. Genevieve MO. We are meeting a large group of friends from Piedmont there. Ozzie and I are ready for great pics. At least that what He is telling me, lol! Battery is charging as we speak :) I heard rumors that there is great scenary over there. I can't wait to find out for myself. There is going to be a 70's band there that is supposed to be great. It last from 2-6. Larry and I aren't big wine drinkers. I still think it will be a blast. Some of our friends went over early to save us a large pavillion that overlooks a field with buffalo in it. Can't wait to see what is waiting for me to snap pics of. Have a great week-end and give Kyleigh hugs and kisses. The little darling is so cute. Model material I do believe :)
6/10/2010 3:16:43 AM - 001094443285
Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving comments! It is always nice to know that somebody else likes your "stuff", huh? We will be leaving for Daytona on Monday, so we are getting really excited around here! Hope you have a super summer, too!
6/9/2010 2:24:35 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, Wanted to stop by before I head on out. Have a dental cleaning later today. I seen that you stopped on by last night. I'm glad you have been liking my quotes.
Sorry about the high temps you have been experiencing :-( Even I don't like it that hot. My perfect weather forecast is sunshine, a cool breeze, temps in the mid to high 80's and no humidity. Now if I could only bottle that up. And I do love when it rains late in the evening...I don't mind that.
How's the packing coming along? Will you have any help in the new office? Will you still get to see your friends/co-workers on occasion? I bet you have so many great memories of your time in the first office. I'm sure you will still keep in touch.
Any more business trips planned for this year?
Joe is loving his new car. And all is well. I just hate those monthly payments.....why couldn't we have a rich uncle (LOL). I'm sure you would like a rich uncle too Lisa, right?
I have to learn to stop complaining and just thank God Joe is working and able to make those car payments...I need to stop bitchin'.
Stopped by your goober site and love what you have done there. Hope you have many more goober/guru trips and that you have many more adventure and laughs with the ladies. I'll catch you later and sending many best wishes your way. Hope today is less stressful than the past few for you. Take care.
6/8/2010 11:45:24 AM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, Hope all is well today with you. About your little nap on the Dr.'s couch, everyone needs a time out every now and then. Hope you will settle in the new office and all will be fine, although you will miss your co-workers :-( How far away is the office with all your friends/co-workers?
So glad you liked Galveston but too bad about the heat. I can't believe you have been hitting 100Ā°F now that is even too hot for me. I love the 80's and low 90's as long as it is low humidity. Today is going to be in the low 80"s no rain, sunshine and no humidity....now this is perfect. Just the way I like it.
So glad you have liked the quotes, I have a new one today and will go by your quote page to share. And your new site for the Goober Meet Ups is really great. Nice idea of course. And many thanks again for all your comments on my bridal shower photos. I can't wait for John & Gianna's wedding Sept 24!!! I hope to snap away.
Lisa, hope todays weather cools down a bit for you. I'll try to visit this afternoon, I will be out for the better part of the day. Take care and I enjoy "Chit Chatting" with you.
6/8/2010 3:50:01 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa,
I didn't make it to the lakes this weekend. it was rainy anyway. Got lots done at home. How was your weekend? I gotta get my buns to bed. Early morning. Finished my sisters bday book! YEAH! Only been working on it since Jan. I'll post tomorrow.
How did you get your filmstrips to just say the title instead of all the stuff mine has? I really like the way this page is set up - as I have told u before. Oh, I bought a bubble gun today - It says its a bubble machine.
I should save it for my sisters bday!!! I guess i just need to buy more bubbles and batteries. Just what she wants. It would make fun photos and somethin fun for kids.
gotta run. wanted to pop in quick
6/8/2010 2:25:24 AM - 001081690819
Oh, also loved the SF book of Kyleigh in the sunglasses! Too, too cute. Clever idea, girl.

I finally had a minute to look through all of Starla's wedding photos, and GIRRRRLLLLL, I am impressed! You did a fantastic job with the photos. And how lucky you had a high cloud cover...no ugly sun shadows! God was with you all on that one! The girls all looked so pretty in their dresses, and Starla positively glowed. The guys looked so cute in their shorts. I loved it all!
I'm feeling pretty good tonight because I was able to get 6 hours of weeding in today and my yard is starting to show some improvement! It was a gorgeous high pressure day, only 72 degrees. light breeze...perfect for working outside. I could never survive in Texas heat, I'm afraid. But I'm not opposed to visiting in the cooler months :-)
Where are you off to next....I know you never plant your feet anywhere for more than a week or two (lol). I had a blast looking at all the photos you ladies took at your meetup. There was a whole lot of talent went into those photos between the group of you! I love the meetups.
Hope you had a fun weekend. Don't work to hard this week and I'll be seeing you around. K. xoxo

I forgot to tell you I got to see Mason this weekend! He came swimming on Friday & on Sat! :)
6/2/2010 4:43:53 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa.......Kyleigh's pictures are a sure sign that summer is in full swing...and she's having a great time! :0)
6/2/2010 1:43:40 AM - 001062713509
Lisa! I have to say that I love having you as a facebook friend. You crack me up! Glad to see you had a fun trip & that you were thinking about me while you were on it :) ha ha. Keep those pics coming ~ ta ta for now ~ I'll be back soon when I have more time! Have a simply wonderful week.
6/1/2010 10:39:59 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, sorry I didn't get a chance to stop by b4 Memorial weekend. I kind of left unexpected on Thursday - got tons of photos, still haven't had a chance to update my site. Thinking of a separate summer/lake site!!
Sounds like you TX gals had a blast - I have seen a few pics and they are soooooo FUN!
LOVE your headers as usual - Kyleigh in the water is way too precious! You have so many awesome photos!!
6/1/2010 1:44:08 PM - 001081690819
Hey Girlfriend! The ladybug and swimming pictures are some of the cutest yet! I am always enchanted by the honesty of pictures of children engaged in something interesting. I LOVE this little punkin' of yours! I saw the few pictures of the guru get-together, and I can't wait to see the rest. I know you all had a blast!!! Gotta run, now, but I'll be back again! Love the headers on this page!!!
6/1/2010 7:46:12 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Lisa. We think along the same lines...I like your header. Hope you had a happy Memorial Day. I finally got my tribute up, even if it was a bit late. Just stopping by to take a quick peak before I go to bed. I still think Kyleigh with her little lady bug is about the sweetest thing going. (Most kids would have just squished it immediately.)
It sounds like the wedding went really good. I saw it on some site.It sounded like hard work and it sure paid off. what a nice time! It sounds like everyone enjoyed it! I am trying to say hi to my friends before I take off again. I sure wish I had a laptop or some way to communicate when i am at my aunts. Well, I will just have to work extra hard to get caught up when I get back.
5/31/2010 5:03:18 AM - 002035648808
Your headers just take my breath away Lisa. The Veterns have me in tears. God Bless our Troops and all our fallen soilders. I hope your week-end with your shutterfly pals are going great. I can't wait to meet up with you guys in NM in October. It is right around the corner. Jean is helping me with travel arrangements. Yeah! I love the ladybug and pics of Kyleigh swimming. Too darn cute :) Take care and Blessings!
5/29/2010 5:24:55 AM - 002066991916
WOW! Your homepage is truly wonderful. So many beautiful photos and so much fun going on... Kyleigh is growing so fast. Her hands are very cute. Wow she is very brave to play with a ladybug. And your soldier troops! Wooohh! Excellent formation. Awesome Lisa truly amazing.
5/28/2010 6:02:15 PM - 001034435843
have fun meeting up with everyone this weekend!!!!! I am so super duper jealous! but the good kind of jealous! Can't wait to see pics!
5/27/2010 5:39:24 PM - 002065887734
Your 21 Gun Salute photo is so good it is giving me chills. What a wonderful addition for this time of year...or any time! Thank you for adding that photo to remind us of what others have sacrificed for us.
I was stopping by to thank you for your welcome home and nice comments. I don't know what to do with my photos. I have so many. It is taking forever to upload them. Please stop later. I have some incredible hummingbird photos. Some are hilarious...the poor little guy looks like he is going to crash quite often. They are NOT the traditional beautiful photos, but they are what I got! John told me about the speed setting on my camera, so my photos got a bit better after that! LOL! What a photographer I am! Thanks for stopping. Once I get some order, I think all will enjoy the page. Right now, I am just trying to get something up!!!! You are the first to see it! Thank you for stopping, Lisa. Again, thanks for the wonderful photo on your heading.
5/26/2010 5:33:29 PM - 002065887734
I'm back for a small bit of time and wanted to say "hi"! I can't believe all your changes in a month! I love the ladybug photos with her little hands. Love all the other photos I have seen but I will have to stop by several times to catch up. I'm packing for W.Va. on Memorial Day weekend...and doing laundry. I hope to get to see David, if only for a little bit of time. I am having Grandma "withdrawals". Hope you have a super weekend!
5/26/2010 3:08:19 PM - 002029331419
Awww....Lady Bugs!! I love this...those little baby fingers and the Lake Shots!! :0)
5/25/2010 1:38:04 PM - 002086548916
Hey There, Lisa!
Love the sunglasses album, she is just so much fun...even if she doesn't like the camera. Very cute!
Thanks for coming by and commenting on my cardbox. vanessa and I had so much fun making it, we got a lot of laughs out of it! It took us 4 hours to make it, but I am so happy with the way it turned out.
Just one more thing to mark off my list now, yay!
Can't wait to see all the pictures from Starla's wedding. I have seen a few on FB, and it looks like the day was just so much fun and everything that they wanted. She made a beautiful bride!
Talk to you soon! Will come back later for another visit!
5/25/2010 12:53:32 AM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa....how perfect that the week-end turned out so nice for you. It sounds like that the wedding was perfect. I just adore the pics of Kyleigh in the headers. You are so right, little ones playing and laughing are the best gifts that God gives us :) I am certain that Starla's pics are just perfect. What a fun filled week-end for you. And to top it off by getting to meet up with fellow Gurus. I bet Kylegih and Connie's kids will have a blast together. I am anticipating the pics already. Can't wait. I guess I am going to down right agressive about getting to see my Little Luke. I am going to go out a limb and ask his mommy if I can take him on a week-end trip wtih us to a family reunion in June, (holding my breath as I type this). I think he would do okay because he seems pretty used to us and wants his Papa Larry to carry him the whole time we are around. He loves me taking pics of him. Of course I could be very disillusioned and he could scream and cry the whole time, but I doubt it, lol! Mary probably jump at the chance for us to take him, but, Jeff on the other hand is very protective, which I like. Keep your fingers crossed and a couple of prayers wouldn't hurt, lol!
Yeah, Jean and I were sharing "war" (health stories). I have something going on with my cardiovascular system. Too early to know what it is. Pretty sure it isn't a blockage. I am too healthy for that, and the tech and I kinda of snuck a peek at my Nuclear scan, imagine that, lol! But, the chemical stress was a little scary. The Doc doing it mentioned something about some type of electrical problem. This was on Friday and of course my Doc hasn't heard anything yet, yikes. I wish they could figure out what the problem is. It is a new issue that has plagued me for about a month. Sudden onset of dizziness followed by a spike in my blood pressure. Sometimes I wake up with a heart rate of about 150. During the chemical stress my pulse dropped instead of went up like it was supposed to. Weird stuff. Oh, well, maybe if I stick my finger in an electrical outlet it will re-wire everything, lol!
I hope your health is better with the spring allergies and all. They sure can make you feel rought. Well, I am going to consider bed in a few minutes. Have a spectacular week and blessings my friend. And yes, October can't get here fast enough :)
5/25/2010 12:47:37 AM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - I loved your Shutterfly party pics..you are SO creative and inspiring!
The new headers of Kyleigh in the sprinkler are pure joy and delight! Aaaaahhh summertime fun...see why I love it so????
And OMG - your iphone book with Kyleigh and the shades is FABULOUS! VERY artsy and creative...you go!!!!!!
You and Diego have a safe trip to meet up with the girls.....SO fun. How DO you fit it all in??? You lil jet setter, you!
5/24/2010 7:09:42 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, So happy to hear you like the new headers on the travel site. Every so often I have to change things up just to make things look fresh and new. I get bored viewing the same headers on my site.
LOL I need a new getaway so that I can have new headers. By the end of the summer I hope to have my cruise booked and deposit sent in. I shall keep you posted. Lisa, 2011 is right around the corner. Need to book your trip and plan ahead.
I do consider a 4 hour trip traveling...LOL I wish you a smooth road, good weather, happy times and precious memories. Be safe and enjoy. You and Diego will bring back some great photos. Happy trails to you Lisa. Be safe
5/20/2010 6:19:36 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I wanted you to know that I really enjoyed your , Lessons in life, e-mail, everything was so true, I passed it on to some of my friends! Thanks for sharing that with us, it was really nice of you! I even kept it in my e-mails so I can read it once in a while, or pass it to others! Deb
5/20/2010 2:20:39 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Oh my goodness.....those headers are so beautiful! They should be in a magazine! They would look perfect on the cover of the FAMILY FUN magazine! I love them so much! Kyleigh is gorgeous! The one of her looking down is stunning! The one of Kyleigh smiling is so sweet! The one of Kyleigh sneaking up on the sprinkler cracks me up! The headers are pure happiness & joy! :)
How was your Shutterfly party? I'm having mine Saturday.
Did Starla get married last weekend?
Thanks for all your comments on my Bermuda page. I love reading them over & over again & laughing! :)
We had tons of funcamping @ Jellystone in Ohio! Joe couldn't go so that was different. He loves camping! Well he loves traditional camping....but will tolerate the PARIS HILTON STYLE CAMPING! LOL!!! This time we took my 15 year old niece Kaylee & my 13 year old niece Kelsey. IT was their 1st time camping besides going with their brownie troop years ago. I have to post those photos real soon. The girls played pranks on Rob AKA Daniel. They made that nickname up in Florida & now my nieces call him that all the time. LOL! They would sneak & tell the waitresses that it was Daniel's bday & they would sing to Rob at almost every restaurant in Florida & in SC! It was a riot. The kids call it Daniel moments. They said we would have lots of Daniel moments on the camping trip because they were going to pull pranks on him! LOL! We laughed so much...my belly still hurts! The weather was beautiful...high 60's! We got the cabin by the lake it was the perfect spot.
5/20/2010 1:28:04 PM - 001012676233
Amazing Photos!
5/19/2010 12:28:07 AM - 002088910291
Lisa, I love your new headers! The sprinklers sure don't look like they did when we were young! A few whirling metal blades! That is such a cute sprinkler! Looks like she sure likes that!! Yes I did have a field trip on Sunday for my class, it started to rain as soon as we got there! And it poured for about 20 minutes, then it stopped, and we all ran to take photos, before it started again in about 45 minutes, so we went home, I don't like taking Hunter into the rain, he is on the sensitive side! But we only needed about 3-4 pics to share with class, so that was not to hard, i had a hard time choosing which ones to take! I hope teacher likes them! And I did it all on manual!! Even focus, which I prefer anyway! Catch ya later, I have my class tonight in about an hour! Deb
5/18/2010 2:23:51 PM - 002029331419
Great new header pictures Lisa!! :0) Summer fun...for sure!!
5/17/2010 7:33:38 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Glad you like all my new headers. Looking forward to your San Diego book. You always do a great job on your projects.
5/16/2010 10:01:20 PM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa....yes, as a matter of fact I was holding Luke about the time you emailed. Had a wonderful week-end with the kids. We went to Mirranda's college graduation from UMSL and then had a party at Jason and her house afterward. They just moved about 45 minutes out of St. Louis City. They live in a small little town and really like it. They are both country kids at heart and hated city living. Their little house has 2 acres. Jason and Mirranda have discovered the joys of mowing, lol! Mirranda really had the house decorated cute. I can't wait till the 2 of them decide to get married, hmmm! Anyway, Jeff, Mary and Luke arrived at about 5:30 and Grandmama was in hog heaven. I got some really cute pics of him and another little boy named Brock. There is nothing like taking little ones pics. I had a blast. On Sunday, Larry, Janna and I got up early and got ready to drive into St. Louis to go to Mass. The church that we chose to go to was only 5 minutes from Jeff and Mary's. After church we went to their house for Brunch. And of course play with Luke. It was too rainy to go to the zoo and they had some birthday party to go to at 2:30 so we hung out till about 1 and then drove back to Piedmont. A marvelous time was had by all :)
I am so sorry to hear that you have been under the weather this past week. Yuck. We ran into Mary's dad at Mass and he sat by us. He had to leave early due to being ill. He has been sick since Friday evening. It seems that these bugs just hand around all year now and aren't seasonal the way they used to be!
I hope you were able to get some fun time in this week-end even if it was just hanging out on the couch with your Kyleigh! That would make anyone feel better!
Have a great week and feel better soon!
5/14/2010 7:24:15 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I'm so happy you liked my new Bermuda page! Thanks for all your sweet comments! :)
Off to camping in Jellystone in Ohio this weekend! We are bringing my niece Kaylee who is almost 16 & my niece Kelsey who is 13 & its their 1st time camping! We have cabins so it will be fun! I don't know how we will all fit into 1 car! Joe is working this weekend & can't go! :(
You cracked me up about that you hardly drink & if you have 1 your face gets red & you get really happy! I hardly ever drink only usually 1 or 2 a year but this vacation I would have 1 after lunch by the pool! Every day they had really cool looking drinks...how could you resist....did you see how cool they looked on my Bermuda page? Then they would always be so strong it would take hours for me to finish! Then at night we would go to the one bar & get 2 for 1 martinis! They were so strong but they had tons of flavors that sounded amazing but they were wicked! I'm surprise I wasn't tipsy off the smell! LOL! I would give Rob them after I took about 4 or 5 sips in about an hours time! LOL!!! Everyday I begged the bartenders to make my drinks weak but they were so strong! LOL! I had fun it was the 1st time ever having martinis & 1st time having a banana split shot! :)
Have a wonderful weekend! Hope your feeling better! I have been sick all week w/ a cold/allergy/coughing/migraines/sneezing/runny nose/headache/sore throat thing going on & I felt feverish all week! :(
5/13/2010 9:55:04 PM - 001023411097
Lisa I have all my comments made and I am waiting for your training session!!!! hugs bj
5/13/2010 3:32:40 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, i am looking forward to your San Diego book with the new program. It is nice to change things up every now and then. And the list goes on. What is this new photo program? Have fun with the book. Let me know when it si complete.
5/12/2010 6:32:17 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, The class was kind of hard, because we are trying to learn how to set our camera on manual, and learn how to set our apertures, and shutter speeds, and we have to read from page 12 to 56 in our book, which is still in the mail coming to me, by the next class! And there are 25 people in there for only 2 hours, each not really knowing what they are doing, and each with a different kind of camera, so the teacher has only a few minutes, with each person to show you what to do with your settings! I felt like I was in shell shock after I left! I kept thinking how will I know all this by our field trip this sunday! Then we are to take photos there, and have until Tuesday to download our 4 favorite ones we took on the field trip, and put them on a little card like thing, in a certain size format, which I did not understand at all! So, it was not really fun to me, I felt kind of intimidated! Once I figure out how to get my pics onto the little device, in the right size format on my computer, I will feel a thousand times better! It all sounded like greek to me! Enough with the complaining!!!! I hope you have a nice day, Deb
5/11/2010 4:17:07 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I hope you feel better today also! I wanted to thank you also for always checking out my site, and leaving your funny comments, it always brightens my day! Especially when I know you are a very busy person, I don't know how you do it all!!!! Have a great week! Oh, I wonder if anyone else decided to name their cameras? That was such a fun idea! I also love the cool shades book! That is so very cute! Talk to you later, Deb
5/11/2010 1:29:20 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, hope you feel better, do you take anything for those allergies? I am headed out on my lunch time today (had to use a bit of vacation time but its worth it) to collect some of the materials i need for my party this weekend. I am going to try to work off the postcard idea you had and make a face cutout board. I have been creating it on paper all morning. Now i just need to spic and span my house, I hate having anyone see a mess, kind of got that from my mom, but Tom has said he will help Friday with the major cleaning (I am sure he isn't doing the toilet thought....LOL). He is a great duster and vacuumer though....of course with Brady's help.
ps. i noticed that book on Kyleigh with that shades on.....to CUTE, love it
5/11/2010 3:52:45 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Oh...by the way..thanks so much for checking out all my latest books! I'm so glad you enjoyed them! I really love reading all your comments & your enthusiasm! You are such a sweetheart! I'm so lucky to have met you! The comments you leave always brighten my spirit & encourage me! I sit & read your comments over & over & they make me laugh so hard! I love your sense of humor & your sunny disposition! Your site, photos, & photobooks are such an inspiration! Your such a blessing to everyone who you meet! I feel so blessed to have met you! Thanks so much for all you do to inspire me & for all the kindness & laughter you spread! You are amazing! Have a wonderful week! :)
5/11/2010 3:38:08 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Sorry your not feeling well! Hope you get better soon!
I'm also sad to hear that Kyleigh's mom didn't appreciate all your thoughtfulness on Mothers day! You are such a kind hearted woman & the best gigi in Texas & Kyleigh's mom doesn't appreciate how good she has it! That makes me so sad because my kids don't have grandparents that are involved & I would do anything to have that for my kids! My dad has always traveled with business & would see my kids for about 10 minutes every 6 weeks and he is the most involved relative my kids have! Rob's parents passed away years ago! Rob was 16 when his mom died & 29 when his dad died! Joe was 5 & Marina was 3 when my father in law passed away! Then my mom is an alcoholic so she can't be bothered with us now that we aren't giving her money, cars, or sending her on trips! I was also so down & crying yesterday because I called my mom all day long & left messages!I could not get a hold of her & she never called all day! Then last night I found out from my SIL Angela that my mom was home all day with my brother Vinny & her friend! She just ignored the calls & messages! I made her that book & calender that I killed myself trying to get done before my trip to NYC & Bermuda & wasn't even packed but stayed up all night long working on it every night & its just sitting here! NO PHONE CALL OR NOTHING! Marina also called all day & left messages! Can you imagine Kyleigh calling you & leaving message all day while you hear them & ignore them because your w/ drinking buddies! Its terrible! I sent my mom tons of post cards from all our trips & called her & she hasn't even called to see how all our trips were! I'm so disappointed but not surprised..story of my life w/ my disfunctional family!
Anyways, the gifts you gave were from the heart & it was so sweet of you! I know Kyleigh will appreciate those things you do to reach out to her mom when she gets bigger! I would just have Kyleigh color her mom a picture until she gets older & wants to shop for something for her mom! You are such a blessing & so kindhearted! I know how excited you were to give the gifts & by her mom not being appreciative must have been so upseting! You put so much love into the gift! I loved the card w/ Kyleigh's voice & that you put Kyleigh in a I love Mommy or Mommy's girl shirt was so special! Sorry it didn't work out!
5/11/2010 12:57:02 AM - 002035648808
Oooooh, potty training....such fun times, lol! It sounds like Kyleigh is getting the hand of it pretty quickly. I hope you had a marvelous Mother's Day and enjoyed your grilled burgers :) Sounds delicious. I cooked dinner for my mom. No kid visits due to one working and two in the middle of finals week at college. Oh, well, Janna is moving back home for the summer on Friday and we are going to St. Louis for Mirrand's college graduation and getting to see EVERYONE for a change. Yeah..I will warm Ozzie up and I will take tons of pics, imagine that, lol! I hope everyone is doing well and your sneezing is getting better. Probably all the rain, yuck..Have ya all had much rain there? It has turned rather wet here lately, ugh. Oh, well, the flowers that I planted this week-end are already blooming like crazy due to the rain and cool temps. a good start for them.
Have a great week at work and feel better soon:)
5/11/2010 12:19:20 AM - 000074469281
I love your iPhone book - I need to get in Gallery and check out. I love all your photos. Its filled with oodles and oodles of terrific photos!
5/10/2010 8:21:32 PM - 000085599530
Love your zoo photos! You really have to make a book. I have never seen a zoo Shutterfly book that I really liked the included the animals and the family who visited. Ps...thanks for commenting on my spring break 2010 books too...
5/10/2010 7:35:18 PM - 002063504014
Lisa,
My mom lives out of town, but I did send her a funny card and called her to send my love and appreciation.
Thanks for your warm wishes. :o)
5/9/2010 7:12:26 PM - 001034648809

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!
Hope its wonderful!
Marina is cooking dinner for me again! Its will be the 4th time this week! How lucky am I?!!! I am relaxing today& have been trying to catch up on the sites & now I went in the gallery for a little bit! I'm hoping to get to see my mom to give her the book & calender I made her! I can't get a hold of her so I'm not sure what is going on! Enjoy your day! 
5/9/2010 3:13:04 PM - 000034909909
Love all the new images!
5/8/2010 11:01:07 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I wanted to drop by and say have a wonderful Mothers Day, and a great week, talk to you later! Hope you are getting to see little Kyleigh this weekend! Take lots of pics, like I have to tell you to!! LOL! Really liked how you wrote Happy Mothers day at the top of your header, very cool! Deb
5/8/2010 4:23:55 PM - 000085599530
Happy Mother's Day to you!! Did I ever tell you that you are the sweetest silliest girl I know....You just made me go from tears to a smile in the matter of seconds....
5/8/2010 4:18:28 PM - 002063570780
The pictures are really nice --Happy Mothers Day.
5/7/2010 5:01:59 PM - 002063504014
Lisa,
enjoyed the new Zoo pictures, the animal kingdom is a treat to explore. Happy Mothers Day weekend to you.
5/7/2010 3:03:35 PM - 002088910291
I was going to say, when I saw how big the zoo was, I could see how hard it would be to keep up with your sweet little Kyleigh!!! LOL! Just walking around and taking the great pics, would be enough to wear a person out! You were brave to go it alone, with Kyleigh being such a live wire!!
5/7/2010 2:47:00 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, Thanks for stopping by to wish me a happy birthday, and the fun comments on our evening out! I hope you have a great day, and weekend! And don't get to busy, relax with your Diego!!! Catch you later, Deb
5/7/2010 1:58:18 AM - 001062713509
Oh my goodness ~ I gasped when I opened your page ~ it is beautiful & breathtaking! Isn't being a Grandma just the best thing in the world! Looking forward to getting to know you! Deborah

Hi girlie! You totally left me hanging on SGC the old GGCentral! What happened?
Anyways, your comments had me laughing so hard! You are a riot! I love your sense of humor! You are so amazing! Hope your evening is better! :)
5/6/2010 7:24:03 PM - 002059460698
Hi Lisa! I love ALL of your pictures. They're gorgeous. Especially little Kyleigh and the blue Bonnets...adorable! How is "Diego" working? You mentioned that you had a lot to learn about your new camera...looks like you're doing great from all of your awesome pics. I bet Kyleigh really enjoyed the Zoo. Tha's always such a big hit with the kids. My grandsons love the Zoo.
Have a wonderful week! Anita
5/6/2010 11:47:22 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE the zoo photos and the fishing with Poppy album. These are times to cherish and hold dear in you heart and soul. May you have many more of these special times with Kyleigh. Enjoy and have fun for Kyleigh will you young at heart.
5/6/2010 4:25:46 AM - 001003494861
Hi Lisa, I love the work you are generating with your new camera! The headers are gorgeous! What a pretty little girl Kyleigh is growing into! The backlit pictures are wonderful, and the ones of her with the camera are too precious to comment on ...they speak for themselves. RE: FW Zoo...Ummmm, I'll get them up eventually. ( I was out there for a couple of days and blew off more than 2000 pictures - Did you see the ones of Chick Corea at the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival?
http://aphotoalbum777.shutterfly.com/places/1475
I haven't even sorted through all of them yet and I still have a ton of pics from Ohio that I haven't finished either. The zoo is on the list and I have a cheetah shot I think will be killer when I crop it. On top of that I'm doing Shaw AFB in SC for a show this weekend, and then Nashville for a new Chihuly display near the end of the month-and thennnn...I quit my job, pack up my apartment and move to Dallas-Fort Worth. Plan is to be clear of GA no later than July 1st. Want to do traveling gigs, and spend a couple of months a year in TX and OH. I think summer and fall in OH, then winter and spring in TX is like the best deal I could possibly get! LOL, Connie's mad that I won't move up to Indy and do photos with her and Scott. I hope summering in OH, will give me an opportunity to spend some time out there too. (They have a HUGE Chihuly up there! Trying to get Connie to scope it out for me.) Sooooo, a lot going on and a lot up in the air. When I get out there in a couple of months I will absolutely look you up. I really look forward to meeting you and perhaps doing some photos together! Take good care and keep up the good work.

Oh, my Lisa, the pics of Little Kyleigh in the flower field are gorgeous. Of course you can't go wrong anytime Kyleigh is in the picture. Did you ever dream that being a Gigi would be so darn fabulous. It just gives me goose bumps to think about how much we love these little guys. God sure knew what he was doing when he gave us Grandchildren. Thanks for the encouragement to post my book. I am getting a little gun shy. I have someone out there who does not like my work. I know I don't do it for others but it can be a little discouraging. I sometimes feel that my photobooks get stuck in a rut. I notice that they are all similar even though I do try and change them up from time to time. I had a wonderful time at the greenhouse this week-end. I spent several hours there Friday afternoon and again last night. I am editing pics, just getting them downloaded on Picnik is time consuming. I really don't have to do a lot of editing thanks to _______. Got to name the camera, lol! The pics after dark were fun. What a whole new look. It was cool in the greenhouse. The colors of the flowers were so vivid without competition from the sun. We have already worked out a deal for me to get free flowers next spring. I am going to build them a SF SS. Can I transfer the page from my site to a new site? I will do it over the next few weeks but since I have done so much work already, they added next year on to the free flower deal. Sweet. I have been invited to join a local art club and enter my pics in some type of competition. You think I should go for it? I hardly ever print my pics out. I just usually make photobooks. Did I hear you say that you were going to order a canvas. Let me know how that goes. I might order one and enter it in the contest. Well, got to get ready for bed, ugh! 4:30 comes mighty early. Dreaded getting out of bed this am. Take care and blessing for a wonderful week :)
5/3/2010 1:47:39 PM - 002029331419
Someone's been changing things up a little....I like the changes! :0)
5/2/2010 3:36:02 AM - 000074469281
How CUTE are those bubble gun photos. I wonder if i bought one, if my nieces and nephews would let me take it back so i can use for other things. Probably not! It would be fun to shoot my sister with bubbles on her 40th bday!!
Love love the blue bonnets photos w/ Kyleigh. She is so adorable. I could look at those all day!
4/30/2010 1:54:04 PM - 002029331419
Lisa...for worrying about not getting any Bluebonnet pics with Kyleigh...that was wasted worry...Look how fun those pics are!!!...I love that her top matches all the bright colors she is in!! These are great!...another good spring for Texas wildflowers and that Lil" Punkin of yours! :0)
4/30/2010 1:48:20 AM - 001036406489
Lisa!!! I love these pics of the precious little girl in the wildflowers. Wow!!!!! What camera do you use? Thanks for letting me know my sight is not boring - but yours is truly exciting!!! Thank you for sharing!
4/30/2010 12:39:45 AM - 003028899137
OMG THESE ARE GREAT!!!!! Beautiful little girl, GREAT pictures, and awesome photography! will you do mine? lol
4/29/2010 3:43:02 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, have a great time at the zoo. Looking forward to your new photos. Hope the weather is the way you like it. Enjoy and I catch you tomorrow.
4/29/2010 4:16:25 AM - 002088910291
LISA, I LOVE your new pics on your header! I will be back tomorrow to check them out some more, I just wanted to stop real quick to thank you for the congrats!!!! See you in the gallery!! Deb
4/28/2010 6:06:50 PM - 000031826072
LIsa, love, I neglect site hopping again for awhile and look how behind I am......everyone seems to have their camera named except for ME!!!! Dang...I better start thinking! It is so awesome that you have been having so much fun with Diego. Don't worry - he's not THAT much smarter than you - you'll have him all figured out before you know it! My camera fund is coming along VERY slowly, but at least it exists now! One day I, too, will have a little Diego Jr.!!!
Hey, I don't think I told you that the weekend Brandon stayed in Texas in the rain for the race on Monday, he actually won the Fantasy League that weekend. He was so excited. Our friend, Dave, also in the league and in our church lifegroup, accused Brandon of going down to Texas and paying off drivers to get his Fantasy team to win. I'm sure that is what happend.....lol.
OK - so just when I think that Kyleigh, the beautiful, couldn't possibly look more appealing then she has in previous photos, I see the latest in the flowers and with the camera.........I could just stare at that little girl for weeks and never get tired of her charm and beauty. What a doll! I so want to be blessed with a granddaughter JUST LIKE HER one day!
It seems like I've been in my own little world lately...all busy, busy, busy with Jordan's soccer, Jarrett and homework, work, church and now Miracle League is starting up again in Msy.
Anyway, going to take a quick look around and be back later.........hope everything is bright and sunny in Lisa world!
4/27/2010 9:52:52 PM - 001038812531
Hi Lisa, thx for stopping by to visit my sight, we have a mutual friend in common, Joanne !!! Love your site, Kyleigh is a little doll, what fun she must be to photograph.
So nice to connect, have a great summer :)
4/27/2010 9:12:09 PM - 001023411097
Ok you started this...naming cameras now I must have a name too! I just can't stop looking at Kyleight in the flowers. What a blessing! My camera is a companion to an middle age, kinda older lady with fun in Texas everyday....what can I name HIM! It is a he!
4/27/2010 8:54:42 PM - 000074469281
Lisa Lisa!! How are you girly? LOVE your headers of Kyleigh in the Blue Bonnetts! LOVE LOVE!
I thought your name comment for my camera is a good one. Moonie! Seems kind of appropriate as I have had a fascination with shooting the moon. I'll stop back later.
4/27/2010 5:01:07 PM - 001023411097
I have been trying to get on you share site this morning and I could not keep on and I can see you were adding photos! LOVE, LOVE THE PICS OF KYLEIGH IN THE BLUEBONNETS! CUTE, CUTE!
4/27/2010 4:17:46 PM - 001081690819
Lisa, these photos of Kyleigh in the flower field are just so DELICIOUS, I can't stand it! Somehow, she looks so perfect in this setting. She just has the most compelling little face that I never get tired of looking at! Love every single one!!!!
4/25/2010 10:12:20 PM - 001036406489
Lisa, thanks for stopping by my site. I looked at all the sites your mentioned and wowowowowo - they are so amazing. I could look at photos all day. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos. You do a great job! Texas, - seems like would be the perfect place to photograph. I will be travling to Mt. Rushmore, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone in July - looking forward to that landscape. Thanks again.
4/23/2010 10:11:38 PM - 002088910291
LISA,HI, I think my camera is going to be named Hunter! Because that is what he is always doing, hunting for new photos! How do you think that fits him, it is a boy, I am sure! LOL!!! He is a Samsung GX 20 DSLR! Now you know why I need the camera class! Hunter is a mini computer in himself, that is dying to get off the auto pilot mode! LOL! Deb
4/21/2010 7:09:18 PM - 000085599530
Hello Chickly Lala!! I have been meaning to telll you the bubble shots are killer... so cute keepers for sure.
4/20/2010 3:42:11 AM - 002065887734
Hello, Lisa. Just saw your post on my site right now. I am sorry about your trip. I have one for you, also. We were going to this wonderful Horticultural Show...best in the country. John had his tripod & I had charged up batteries. It was awful. A total rip-off. I even asked for our money back. It was a nice show...I guess...if you wanted to buy some pretty petunias (John's description) but nothing like on the internet. I asked to go see that garden first (their internet ad garden) and they didn't even know what I was talking about. They don't even know where that garden is!
So, we got bummed out too! I didn't even get to see David. Lisa was sick & I didn't want to ask her to drive for a visit. She needed her rest. I am glad you got to see Kyleigh. That makes it still a great weekend!
4/20/2010 12:26:28 AM - 002088910291
LISA, I forgot to tell you I love the Fall book you made with Kyleigh, it is absolutely adorable! Great job!
4/20/2010 12:23:45 AM - 002088910291
LISA, HI! I am sorry you couldn't go on your bluebonnet hunt! But at least you salvaged the weekend by coming up with a nice group of them! I do like the idea of naming your camera! I should come up with one for mine! Diego was the perfect choice for yours!!! I hope you are learning how to use all the bells and whistles it has! My class for my camera starts on May 11th! I sure need it because ever since I have gotten it, I keep it on auto pilot!!! But I need to learn something about it!!!!! I did finally a few months ago figure out how to set the date on the thing, but that's about as far as I have gotten! The manual is like reading Greek, about a miniature computer or something!!! I need hands on training! Besides it will be fun, it is only 8 classes, and 3 field trips! I think I am more excited about the field trips to take photos than anything! I hope there is not too much homework! LOL!! Keep Diego happy, and running smoothly! Deb
4/19/2010 7:27:56 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Yes, Joe took us for a ride in the new car yesterday. I must admit it is a smooth ride.
LOL feels like 40 years of marriage, Lisa I can relate. I guess nothing in life comes easy.
Keep on and head forward ....take one day at a time. Lisa, think of the good and happy times. I am glad you liked the card. It is just a small token to let you know I thought of you.
Loving the new colors of you shared site. NICE!!!
4/19/2010 8:26:58 AM - 002065887734
I love the second row you added to your header. Boy, it really shows how tall Kyleigh is getting. She is a doll baby and growing way too fast. But as Grandmas, we want them to grow and be healthy...it's just hard to see them go by so fast!!! I was checking in before bedtime to see if you found any wildflowers on your trip this weekend. I sure hope you did...especially the Blue Bonnets. I'll look a bit to see and then turn in. Will check again later if I don't find anything. I KNOW you found something fun this weekend even if it wasn't flowers! LOL!!!
4/18/2010 10:26:33 PM - 000034909909
Thanks for your comment on viewofthecamera.shutterfly.com great camera and images. I totally love your giving your camera a name, I shall have to tell my "shooting buds".
4/16/2010 8:24:16 PM - 002086548916
hi Lisa! I love the headers!!! Kyleigh is just so cute with those bubbles!
4/16/2010 2:26:44 PM - 000074469281
Is your site still being jumbly. i'll email you too but its been so long that i have actually been here for more thann 2 minutes. LOVE everythng here!! Did you notice the birdy on my background page - its to the right. I will have to use this one next time.
4/16/2010 1:50:07 PM - 002065887734
Kyleigh with the bubbles is incredibly cute! I love her little poses...which really are not poses at all. Good luck on your flower hunt. It's been pretty miserable here. This weird spring is following a weird winter. I am checking iinto the flower tours here, but I think it's too early for the flowers. I LOVE the Bluebonnets, so I sure hope you find a nice field of them somewhere! As a dear Southern friend used to say, "YOu need that!" like it was a necessity. I think you NEED those Bluebonnets. Good luck!
4/15/2010 8:05:40 PM - 000074469281
Cool background. I tried the pink but i really like blue and brown.
4/15/2010 4:35:32 PM - 000074469281
LOVE LOVE your photos you and Diego are producing!! Isn't it soooooooo exciting!
4/13/2010 11:50:44 PM - 000034909909
Howdy,
You are just toooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute, I love that you gave your camera a name, just fantastic.
I bought a GPS (for my trip to Ireland, went 2 wks by myself), I named my SPS Shames (James in US), so you see why I love what you did with the camera.
Speaking of camera, that is great! I know what you mean about lots of camera. I have had my D300 2 years and am still learning. I think you are really doing great, keep up the good work.
Joyce
4/13/2010 1:24:58 PM - 002063570780
Gee I really like Shutterfly you know they have so many really neat things for everybody and your pictures are so much fun those of family and others.
4/13/2010 1:37:07 AM - 000096883315
Blowing bubbles and an adorable Kyleigh, how cute!! I haven't gotten around to all the sites lately (ya'll are so much better at this than I am). Glad to see everyone is clicking away. Hope you are enjoying your spring as much as I am.
4/13/2010 12:56:52 AM - 002035648808
I love the new headers of Kyleigh. She is just a little doll. Hang in there with Diego. Now, Rhonda Pig. (I can't put just P because that is my last initial, and I would butcher her name, lol!) and I have decided that I need to name my new camera. She thought maybe Branson, because she thinks that is where I live, lol! I'll have to break the news to her. Just fyi, I will be joining ya all in NM for the ballon festival next Oct. if all continues to go as well as it is now. The pics that you posted this week-end of Rider and Jana's prom were gorgeous. Our kids had excellent weather for their prom this year. The last few years have been either rainy, cold, or super windy. Sat. was picture perfect and of course I had no one at my house going to the prom :( Sad, sad days it is when you become an empty nester. But on the upbeat side, (it is too beautiful to not be anything else) I had a wonderful week-end with my cases. Got one done, talking to the lawyer at 9 AM during my break which I never get but have to tomorrow! And work is just fabulous and I got to spend 5 hours taking pics yesterday. Please tell me that you too get sore when you take pictures for a long length today. I went to lift weights at the gym after work today, and I was so sore, I coudn't hardly stand myself. I get in some really weird positions to take pics. I probably look like a retard, lol! Oh, well, whatever it takes to get that perfect pic, right. I just love it when you leave all your wonderful comments. It is really good for my confidence. I wish that I could master this pic thing. I got disgusted at myself at the Greenhouse yesterday. Now, granted I had been driving all over the country taking pics for 3 hours. I spent the last two hours there. I would leave it on portrait to take landscape pics. I was just too tired to notice, ugh. Crazy stuff, huh! I will have a re-do though. The coolest, thing, the owner of the Greenhouse wants me to trade her pics for free flowers. I would have taken the pics anyway. She wants me to put together a photo album for her to purchase to use for business. She does a lot of landscaping in town for the locals and would like to have a photo album of her products. Cool! I am going to go after Mother's Day when everything is in full bloom and we are going to set up some pictures with all the cool antiques that she has. She is crazy busy now, but will slow down the week after Mother's Day. This is a good deal for me, because I spend a fortune in flowers every spring. I love annuals and buy about 16 flats to plant every year. I do have more perineals now a days, but there is nothing that compares to the annuals, and unfortunatley for the pocketbook, they don't come back the following summer! I am rather windy today as you can obviously tell. I hope you have a great week and keep on shooting with Diego. I still haven't read my manual, lol! Just wating for my classes :)
4/12/2010 3:21:11 AM - 001003494861
Hi Lisa! Thanks for stopping by, and for your ever so kind comments. As busy as you have been lately, I don't even know how you found the time to stop by! I've impressed with what I see coming from your new camera, especially the prom photos.I've also been loving the pictures of Kyleigh. Both her and the camera love each other. Those memories will last a lifetime. Keep up the good work, and , wherever you are at today, I hope you're javing a great time!
-Michael
4/11/2010 4:14:27 PM - 000034909909
Hi!
I have been really busy, sorry not to get to visit everyone! I do try to keep in tough.
Love the images, you are doing a great job.
4/11/2010 2:52:40 PM - 002059624475
Lisa, how are you this weekend? I've been thinkin' about our terrific weekend. Those memories will hopefully carry me through until Balloon Festival!! I need to get busy on my San Diego pics, get them up on my site, I've just been "booked" since I got back. Caulin & Delaney are here now, they spent the night and we'll be headed to church this a.m. I work for 3 days and then Megan, Lilly & I are off to Sacramento for 4 days. I'll meet them at DIA Thursday morning. I'm so excited to spend time with my godchildren & my Megan & Lilly :) Kyleigh is so cute in her bubble pics, you capture her so well. And now with Diego, you'll be doing even more!! Is Texas heating up? It's suppose to be in the 70's here today. Alright darlin', gotta go, talk to you later twin ;o)
4/9/2010 5:06:34 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, And thanks for the pics you posted on my site! They are great! I am glad to hear you got a new camera! Isn't it fun!! I am like you, afraid to mess up my camera, so just set it on auto, and let it go on it's own! My camera class starts May 11th, so I will learn how to do more with the other settings as well! Deb
4/8/2010 8:04:04 PM - 002088910291
Hi Lisa, It sure looks like you guys all had a blast on your trip! I bet you are almost ready to go on another! It is great to travel, especially with good friends! Love the headers of kyleigh, she is so darling!
4/8/2010 2:37:10 PM - 002029331419
Love the new header pics!!
4/4/2010 9:23:58 PM - 002035648808
Happy Easter Lisa....I hope you and your family has had a very blessed Easter and a wonderful family day. Take care and have a fabulous week :)
4/3/2010 9:48:02 PM - 002059460698
Hi Elle...I'm finally back for a little visit while I'm sitting here at work. My computer at home hasn't been working so I have to grab a few minutes at work whenever I can and do a little visitng. I love all your beautiful spring pictures....It's finally arrived....isn't spring wonderful! I hope you're having a great Holiday weekend!!
4/3/2010 5:45:37 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa....I sure am glad you girls had a fabulous time. Thank you so much for the beautiful postcard. I can't wait to see SD next March. Unless something tragic happens, I will be on an airplane and ready to meet you alll :) I love the changes to your page. It is great. It is always so much fun to stop by. I have been terribly busy lately and show no signs of slowing down anytme soon. I'm missing my SF pals and taking pictures. Maybe next week-end will be a little calmer :) Have a wonderful Easter. I hope you get to see your little Kyleigh and the Easter Bunny visits!
4/2/2010 6:20:24 PM - 000093339400
Hi Lisa! I can't believe it took me so long to get to your site, but here I am! It was so great to meet you last week; you are tons of fun. We'll definitely need to do it again! :)
4/2/2010 5:09:16 PM - 002059624475
Yes, I'm lovin' the PINK scarf!! That's a great picture of you! Has it already been a week - sigh. Happy Friday my friend :)
4/1/2010 5:56:02 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I am glad you liked the magnet. Think of me when you see it. And I want to thank you for adding the travel link. The more the better. Always so glad to see that you have stopped by. Enjoy your Easter. Blessings to you.
4/1/2010 1:28:23 PM - 002086548916
Lisa! I love that picture of you at Coronado! So glad you put it on your home page. Can't wait for the rest of your pictures to load...I can't wait to see what you captured through you lense :)
3/30/2010 10:49:03 PM - 002065887734
Hey, girl. Hope you had a blast! Love your Spring Walk...it's making my day. We have no Spring yet.
3/24/2010 10:06:03 PM - 002020640084
HAVE A SAFE TRIP! I'LL MISS U!!! HAVE FUN! CAN'T WAIT 2 HEAR ALL ABOUT IT! :)
3/22/2010 5:33:20 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa,
The headers on the home page are absoloutely SMASHING. Kyleigh and Easter....doesn't get any better than that mix. After all, only the good Lord could have created an angel like Kyleigh!!!
I just wanted to stop in and wish you and S'Fly gals the bestest trip to San Diego EVER. I can't wait to see the pictures and photobooks.
I just saw your text from yesterday early this morning....so sorry you are still sick with that Junior/Harvick/Kyle flu. I told you how to get better, but you just won't listen to me! Thank goodness my "real" guys J & J did so well at Bristol, because my Fantasy team didn't do so well this weekend. I was looking good until Ambrose and Martin crashed (two out of four of my team!) That darn Dave and his comments on FB cursed me, I tell ya! He will be hearing about THAT!
Anyway, have fun, fun, fun on your trip. Be safe!
3/21/2010 4:48:31 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Stopping in before I head on out to visit my mom for Sunday dinner. Thanks for my package and thinking of me. Have a great week and a great time in California with our Shutterfly friends. Safe travels.
3/18/2010 1:35:12 AM - 001059933021
Amazing shots of Kyleigh in a variety of outfits! Kyleigh is the latest gorgeous Texas angel that captured my heart! She's a beautiful model!
3/17/2010 3:38:35 AM - 000074469281
Oh my gosh Lisa! How ADORABLE is Kyleigh's photo shoot!! I love every single photo. Every single one!! They have such a casual, natural feel to them. You need to make a book of those pics!! Wow!! Makes me want to do this with my niece. I wish it wasn't so ugly outside. Thanks for the inspiration. You have a great photo subject in Kyleigh - love your photos! They made me smile!
3/17/2010 2:57:52 AM - 000074469281
LOVE your headers! Kyleigh is so darling!! I feel like its been forever since i visited!! I'm going to look around!!
3/16/2010 5:45:02 AM - 002065887734
Thank you for adding a spot for me on your page, Lisa. That was nice of you. I usually worry about what to put on...or I end up not putting anything on. I went for broke and just did what I wanted. I hope you enjoy the photos and others also. I was a bit intimidated by all the wonderful photos on that page. There are so many great photographers on Shutterfly it's still mind-boggling to me. So much talent and so many talented people. I had a ball looking at your Easter Egg Hunt. I loved watching the kids go for the eggs! fun, fun, fun!
3/14/2010 7:52:13 PM - 002035648808
Great headers Lisa.....I love all the changes and additions to this page...Signs of spring, yeah!!! Our weather here has crapped out again, ugh! Middle 40's with rain, rain, and more rain! Come on 70's and Spring :)
3/14/2010 7:38:38 PM - 002088910291
HI LISA!!! Just wanted to say that all the easter photos are darling!! Hope you have a fantastic week! And Thank you for stopping by my site this week!
3/14/2010 10:45:07 AM - 000093706714
Gorgeous, gorgeous header shots! LOVE them!

Love your header! We just have a tinybit of green starting to show up from the dirt. Actually I think the flowers are afraid to come up yet. Your photos look so nice and cheerful. Love it!
3/10/2010 5:19:08 PM - 002029331419
Are those headers flowers from your yard?!!?! ....Everything is afraid to come up to soon..we keep getting snow!

How exciting that you are going to San Diego in 2 weeks!!!! You must be so excited! Can't wait to see all the photos!
3/7/2010 12:36:22 PM - 002065887734
Kyleigh looks so tall in her First Snow filmstrip! I think some of it is the jacket, but she looks like she is really growing. Cute, cute snow strip of her and birthday strip. (Just keep her at arms length from older ladies! That was so funny.) Enjoyed looking at her red scooters. I've got to get busy here. You've added a lot. It's always neat to see all your creative stuff. You sure keep busy & it looks great!
3/5/2010 4:38:34 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I am going to email you some photos I took just for you at Disney's Hollywood Studios! I think you will love this person & are a big fan of them! I am going 2 upload them to Shutterfly right now! Talk 2 U soon! :)
3/5/2010 5:24:39 AM - 002066991916

Right now I am fine just busy at work and study online. I am hoping everything is fine with you. Looks Kyleigh growing so fast. I can tell.. She is your favorite subject. Thanks for sharing.

3/3/2010 9:38:06 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, Hi! It seems like I haven't been here for a while, February 22nd, my calendar say's! HA! I actually keep a journal book to write down whose site I have visited, and when! That way I don't miss out on any new things on my share pals sites!! Except when I missed your valentine event, because I did not think of the time changes!!! LOL! I can sure tell how much Kyleigh has grown by the photos of her in the snow, just since I have joined it seems! Absolutely love the photos of her in the snow, and with the phone! Those are just too precious! I am still getting to just know you, so will look around a bit more today!! Of course I know your the one with the handsome sons!! LOL! Ryder and Nick! My son's name is Aaron, and he will be 31 in June! I can't believe it, where does the time go! Oh, and what is Picnic!!??
3/3/2010 4:20:14 PM - 000039334931
Hey there, i know its been a while. Love the snow pics! I've been so busy with work and wedding planning i haven't take any snowy time pics! Thanks for sharing!
3/2/2010 3:35:42 AM - 001059933021
Kyleigh's photographs are fabulously created and all begging to be displayed in your room! Amazingly cute girl!
Thanks for visiting my site!
3/1/2010 12:54:58 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa....Just stopping by for a quick Howdy before heading to work this morning. I hope you had a lovely week-end and got to spend time with little Kyleigh. Have a great work week. I'll catch ya later :)
2/27/2010 2:40:23 AM - 002065887734
Guess I'd better pay attention...I loved that photo, but didn't read much except it was a Spring Tour. (You are up on stuff, girl!) Loved your friends site. Thanks for the "heads up".
2/24/2010 1:09:12 AM - 002065887734
Love the header...especially with Miss Kyleigh and the snow. It is too cute when she's trying to catch the snow by eating it! She's adoreable. I think you got as much snow as we did. I was so glad to see your heat got back on.
The whole big header of the cat are all photos of Patches. I am so happy she got adopted by traditional means!!! She got sick & then when she was better, she was already tame. She did well with the cats here, but needed to be around another human, so I voluteered John to keep her for awhile. He fell in love with her. (I did too. She is a little sweetheart. You know that ferals are NOT adoptable, don't you? They are destroyed as soon as they are taken to a pound or shelter around here. 2 people who have adopted ferals, have come back for more. Their personality is so very sweet. Different than most housecats!!!) The moving cats "in the cold" are Patches, Red (my Tex's identical twin) Lady (mother of many of the colony & front of My Little Feral book), and Corry. I don't know how he fits in. Several people have called him "the watcher cat". I guess there may be a cat in some colonies...not the Alpha male...and he makes sure the others have what they need. (babies get extra food, pregnant mom's get more food...I have seen him do this but didn't know it happened on a regular basis. If that is true, Corry is our "watcher")
When Little Miss Kyleigh gets her poor little tidbit of a birthday present you can tell her it's just for princesses & someone thinks she is a princess. It's Cinderella, but my daughter had to point that out to me. I just liked the colors. I think she is old enough to wear, but if not she will be soon! She seems quite mature for her age. Hope she likes looking at it, if nothing else.
Hope your heat stays on & we are through with winter. My best, BJ
2/21/2010 10:06:58 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa..just making my rounds saying hey to everyone. This working stuff is really cutting in to my SF time :) Still loving it and probably be even more excited when I get my first paycheck next Friday, yeah! Oh, what to start saving for first, new livingroom furniture, vacations in exotic places, or just pay the bills, LOL! The exotic vacations seem like the best idea so far :) Have a great week, kiss and hug Kyleigh lots and I'll catch up with later this week!
2/20/2010 4:41:10 PM - 000076820331
The Texas blizzard was beautiful! We have snow again today in Illinois but it is very wet and melting. Hope you enjoyed your birthday!!
2/20/2010 1:40:14 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
I'm in SC only 5 1/2 more hours until Orlando! WOO HOO!
Wanted 2 stop by 2 say....
Hope your birthday was AMAZING!
2/20/2010 4:17:42 AM - 001024320926
Thanks everyone for all the wonderful birthday wishes!!
2/19/2010 2:37:59 PM - 000074469281
Happy Birthday my Texas friend. Have a GREAT day!! Happy happy birthday!
2/19/2010 1:24:42 PM - 002055694880
Although it has been said many times...many ways....Never like this!......Happy Birthday Hook! I love you!
2/19/2010 11:23:44 AM - 000076820331
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the most special person I can think of! May your day be filled with all kinds of fun things in celebration of you!
2/18/2010 3:42:24 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Happy Early Birthday! (We are leaving tomorrow so I didn't want to miss you)
I sent you a card on Sunday! Hope it arrives on time! Hope all your bday wishes come true! :)
2/16/2010 5:16:44 PM - 002088910291
Lisa, I missed your event for valentines, because I forgot about the time zone difference!!!! Love all the snow pics, you have to take advantage of it since you probably don't get it very often, do you? Deb
2/16/2010 1:00:35 PM - 003019440973
wow, beautiful site. I love love love the first snow pics. I also love how you did the whole sequence, truly inspiring.
2/16/2010 7:59:54 AM - 002065887734
Love Kyleigh in the snow...both holding it in her little hands and trying to eat it as it's falling. I have a wooden area outside where I live that looks almost exactly like your photo on the left. I'm putting it up later & you can see I'm not teasing. It's unreal it looks so similiar. My boots are packed in some storage place, so my feet are getting wet and cold. Now what did my mama tell me about cold, wet feet when I was a little kid.....don't tell on me, ok? Love your header by the way.
Thanks for comments on Grenada. If we could figure out a way to get to see David once a month I would move there in a heartbeat. THose photos of people are my friends. They are not just photos. I visited with them almost every day. I knew their children. I truly loved them & want to get back, if only for a visit. The raw beauty of seeing the Atlantic swirl into the Caribeean is shocking! OMG it was so beautiful to see up high miles up on a cliff. It's not on the tourist list. A friend took us. Here I am going on and on. I need to be on their Board of Tourism.
Most of my pages are coming down. I am finding photos and this is helping me figure out what I am missing. I am a visual person. Did you see the piddly little National Balloon Rallies of years gone by??? Nothing like what you girls had! Wow! Has that grown or what? I'm going to look around. Maybe see some romantic Valentines photos....
2/16/2010 2:32:22 AM - 002035648808
Snow in Texas, aint right :) Thanks for stopping by Lisa and all the wonderful comments on our 10th Anniversay trip and Luke....My hours at work are Monday-Friday, no week-ends or Holiday's. The hours will vary from 7-3:30 and 8-4:30. A lot just depends on the Docs. I suspect that after time they will put me on a salary unstead of hourly wages which is fine with me. They don't like OT and I can barely get done in the 8 hours. I like to work until my job is done. That is what I am used to but I will survive whatever they throw my way. I got thrown out by myself on all the hospital wings today by accident. My boss was supposed to train me, but the hospital had some sort of crisis and she was needed elsewhere. I survived, made myself at home, and got er done! I am going to go and post some Valentine pics. Some are from last week, but I only got one yesterday of Larry and my card and my flowers :) Have a fantastic week and stay warm and safe. Is the snow melting yet? Ready for spring and playing in the dirt planting my flowers :)
2/15/2010 9:30:32 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE all the new headers. Welcome to the snow club. LOL Kyleigh must have loved seeing all this white stuff. Thanks for sharing.
2/14/2010 6:13:42 PM - 000039334931
Love the new pics!!!!!
2/14/2010 3:52:21 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, How have you been since the snow made an appearance to your neck of the woods? Is everyone digging out. How many inches did you get? Anyway be careful and be safe. Happy Valentines Day and many blessings to you.
2/14/2010 2:26:00 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
Many thanks for stopping by not so so long ago, and my apologies for not being a frequent visitor but again, life has been a bit crazy. Seems to be settling and even have had a chance to play with the ol' camera, I have missed it! Hope the snows have not been to horrible, we have had something like 4 storms over the past month, crazy !
Barry
2/14/2010 5:00:51 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...Happy Valentine's Day to you and your family. We had our Valentine's with Luke last week-end, so if I post some pics of him that you have already seen, that is why :) I might have to head South again tomorrow. We are supposed to have some more snow tomorrow evening and I just can't miss work this early into my new job. Thanks for stopping by and checking and the well wishes this week. Still loving my job. It gets better each day. No boredom yet, LOL! I might be praying for boredom in a few months, but I seriously doubt it. Love the idea about Valentine's pictures. I can't wait to see what everyone contributes. It will be fun. I am not getting to see any of my kiddo's for Valentine's Day, sniff, sniff. It will be just Larry, the pups, and myself for Valentine's Day. We'll go to church have a nice dinner and I guess I will have to keep and eye on the stinkin weather and head out if it looks like it might accumulate. They never seem to know what it is going to do around here, ugh! Have a blast with your Kyleigh. I am missing my Luke terribly and Janna too :(
2/11/2010 9:54:20 PM - 002088910291
Hi Lisa, I LOVE your new header on this page!! It is so bouncy and fun, to see your little Kyleigh having so much fun!!! You must be a wonderful grandma to her! This is a great page!!! You sure have a lot of guests on your guestbook, that's cool! I tried to make one of these a couple of times, had it all ready to go, but did not know how to get it to my share page!! Do you have to join slide or something? Maybe you could let me know... need to look around some more! Deb
2/11/2010 7:02:49 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Lisa. Stopped by to say hi before calling it a night...or day. We are having lots more snow than usual & want to get out tomorrow before it gets footprints or dirty. Hope you all are staying away from the snow...or at least the kind that stays around. A snowman every now and then is fun. Took MY Lisa out tonight for her birthday. We had a fun time. David is 8 and did great the first hour or so. His crayons got boring & he got just a little antsy. I was telling him how great he was since that was an adult dinner. He looked at me and said, "Is that what adults do for fun??? Just sit around and talk???" He looked so shocked but I kept my face straight. He was so serious, I didn't want to offend him. Know that your little one had a super time and that you will keep her an arms length from oler ladies. I laughed at that. I could just see it happening before my eyes! She is too cute!
2/10/2010 1:39:18 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa.....sorry your computer isn't fixed yet, ugh! Oh, your picnik is just wonderful. I am so thankful that YOU got me ADDICTED, LOL! I love the editing that you did in your newest pictures. Sorry, but I just had to steal your idea and put my Little Luke at the top of my homepage like you did your Little Punkin! Grandkids are the greatest thing that God came up with in my opinion. What a blessing they bring us :) We had a blast with Luke this week-end! I just had to get his pictures up before I headed to PB to stay with my Uncle Sonny and Aunt Pat Sunday before the dang snow hit. I used to like snow, but it is wearing on my nerves because it is so dang windy and cold, brrrrrrr! My first two days were fabulous. I love my new boss and I really like everyone in my office that I work with. They are very upbeat and positive. All the administration is new and that is a good thing at this particular hospital. They are very dynamic and are expecting great things from me, so they say, LOL! I will certainly try my best not to disappoint them. The day flys by and that is a good thing. It means that my new job will not be boring. Yeah! I am catching on quicker than I thought that I would! It is very fast paced and that is my kind of job. My last State job had some very long boring days and I had to be away from home for 4 days every other week, yuk, and they pay was ick, LOL! I am going to try and limit my computer time in the evenings at first because I think Larry and the pups are missing me, the poor things. Larry and the pups had major Rhonda withdraw when I had to leave Sunday evening so I wouldn't get snowed in and miss my first two days of work, LOL! The poor things! I'll catch with you later in the week. Again, I love your picniking ;)
2/9/2010 12:35:03 AM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Thanks for checking in on Marina! She is finally feeling a little better & should be well enough to go to school tomorrow! :)
Today is Mason's 3rd birthday! I can't believe he's 3 already! I was remincing & looking at old album of his first 18 months! I put them in sepia & added them to my FAMILY PAGE & added some to facebook! Mason so cute he told my brother to give me a photo of him that his mom had taken him to a studio! Mason picked it out himself & my brother mailed it! I got it today! I WAS SOOOO EXCITED!
Yes, I'm excited for all our upcoming adventures! I have so much to do & didn't start yet! YIKES! LOL!!!
Hope you have a SPECTACULAR week filled with lots of laughter & fun! :)
2/8/2010 3:44:48 AM - 002029331419
Hey!!! Look at that Cutie Pie Valentine Girl!!!!
Ahh Kyleigh...your growing up so fast .... your Gigi is doing an awesome job keeping up with you! :0)
2/8/2010 1:23:59 AM - 002066991916
Hellow my dear Lisa- Love your new header photo. Kyleigh is so cute! I am truly impressed!
2/7/2010 8:50:32 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...I hope your week-end was spectacular. Ours sure was, when one Little girl named Janna Marie arrived and then LUke and his daddy on Sat. Thank goodness the roads weren't too bad for them to come. Oh, we had a wonderful visit. I just love the Picnik header of Miss Kyleigh. She looks so grown up these days. I love to see the changes in the little ones but they grow up to stinkin fast to suit me me! Luke is turning in to such a little character. He is marching head on towards two and it is showing. I spent most of the week-end getting pictures of his back-side as he was running the other direction, especially when I had my camera. He kept us all in sticthes most of the week-end. Well, I start my new job tomorrow and I must say, I am rather nervous about it. It has been 11 months since I have worked out of my home and it might as well have been 20 years the way I am so nervous, ugh! Did you get to see your little punkin this week-end? Is shw over all the winter illness that these little ones seemed to be getting? I sure hope so. Luke seemed more healthy this time minus a little runny nose. Have a great week and I will stay in touch as best as I can. I don't know what to expect with my new job just yet!
2/6/2010 10:17:44 PM - 003001453404
Hey Lisa! So I'm holding Haley on my lap right now and she is on the computer with me. As soon as I clicked on your site and the big picture of Kyleigh popped up, Haley got a big ol' smile and was pointing to the computer screen. It was so cute! Anyway, just wanted to stop by and say hi...how's the weather where your at? It's still so cold here and snowy!
2/6/2010 7:01:09 PM - 002059460698
I love the header of Kyleighs "Be My valentine"....she's adorable!! Her pictures with the camera are precious. I'm sure she gives you lots to smile about, and definetely lots of adorable poses to photograph. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
2/6/2010 6:40:43 PM - 000074469281
I just got your message on my site. Now i see what you did. Does the View Photo Book show on my site? I'll stop by later - enjoy your day!
2/6/2010 6:08:35 AM - 000074469281
That is very funny Benny!!
2/6/2010 5:17:53 AM - 001059933021
Lisa, we all need a good laugh and a little more sunshine and not so much gloom and doom!
2/6/2010 4:28:27 AM - 001024320926
Benny that is hilarious :):)
2/4/2010 7:28:01 PM - 001059933021
I love Kyleigh's Be My Valentine photograph! Nicely done!
It's been cold here in SoCal, but we're doing fine. When is global warming going to start? Everyone knows that a cough can develop due to cold weather. If you have a bad cough, take a large dose of laxatives. Then you'll be afraid to cough!
Lisa, thanks for stopping by my site! Happy Valentine's Day!
2/4/2010 3:50:35 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Thank goodness you have a laptop and can still work on your photos.
I stopped by your Postcard page and it is one of my favorites. LOVE IT!!
I hear that Texas is having some bad weather, is it hitting your area? They say more snow for us this Saturday. Makes me so depressed. :-(
Any plans fro this weekend? I'll have to leave you a quote this week. I'll catch you later and have a good day.
2/4/2010 12:16:27 AM - 002065887734
HOW PRECIOUS CAN SHE GET??? Love your photo & love the scrapbooking effects. I have hundreds & hundreds of dollars of paper & embellishments I think are going to go to waste. The stuff you do, looks 3 D & looks like the real thing. Your stuff is so gorgeous I wouldn't mind NOT picking up glue or trimmers again!!! Wanted to say I was not surprised at her in tumbling & gymnastics. she is so outgoing & flexible & a little bundle of enery...we might be seeing her in the Olympics in a few years! (Wouldn't that be neat if she really loved it & did good? Wow. I could say I saw photos of her when she was real little...) Hope you all are doing fine. I am doing so much better. It's more than about time. My best to you all & give the little punkin an extra hug from me. Barb
2/3/2010 7:53:41 PM - 000074469281
PS: Love your Valentine Picnik header of precious Kyleigh!!
2/3/2010 7:52:23 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa - your computer is down at home and my email isn't sending - they said i exceeded the limit in 24 hours! WHAT! Never heard of that before. I'll guess mine will go out by 10:30 tonight - so dumb! I think I'm going to ask my brother to build me a new computer. I'm afraid this will crash soon. I feel so bad I have been horrible visiting sites.
Loved the mail - made my day!! Thank you so much!!!
Talk to u soon!
2/3/2010 1:15:11 AM - 000093706714
Love the new header pic of little Miss Kyleigh...........I am sooooooooo getting the bug to start working with my camera again.
Rene' goes back into the hospital for his bone marrow biopsy tomorrow. I typed you a LONG note the other day and shared some of the things we have been doing to get back a sense of 'normalcy'.......but the dang comment didn't post. And I was too tired to retype it. Anyhooooooooooo.....the reprieve has been nice and I am hoping / praying we are on the last run of his treatments. And then maybe, just maybe....back to REAL LIVING again.
I still have that dang San Diego trip on my mind. Seems awful to go and ask his boss for some vacation time...but believe it or not, after all these months...........WE NEED IT. <smile> Thinking on it...and thinking on it.
I hope you are feeling better too! Gonna run for now.........it's still a little gimpy....but feels great to be on TWO feet again! Big hugs.........cheri
2/2/2010 8:43:50 PM - 002086548916
Hey Lisa! I picked my colors!! They are listed on my guestpage.... :)
2/1/2010 7:47:11 PM - 002088910291
Thank you for adding me to your already busy share site, love to get to know you better this year!! Thanks again!! Debbie Speed
2/1/2010 7:25:20 PM - 000082378991
those headers are GORGEOUS! awe.....
2/1/2010 7:00:33 PM - 002088910291
Hi Lisa, Stumbled on your site, and wanted to say HI!! LOVE the pics of little Kyleigh with the camera!! Looks like she will love photography too!! How precious are those pictures!! Debbie Speed
2/1/2010 5:32:50 PM - 002035648808
Oh, one more thing too. I need to know who to write my check out to. If you could re-send me the email from the other day so that I can check the site out I would appreciate it. I accidently deleted it off my emails. I will try and get this to you this week so be looking for it around Thurs, or Friday :)
2/1/2010 5:30:55 PM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa...I had a blast talking with you girls on FB last night. What a stitch everyone is. Oh, wait, I am you liked to be called Mac, LOL! I love Kyleigh with the camera and the Picnik pictures. I am amazed at the editing capabilities of Picnik. Have you tried it yet? I think I am just a the tip of the iceburg, though with the editing. Stop by my site. On my new Virginia vacation are a few pics of Elvis. We stumbled on a little treat called the Pink Cadillac. I think you might enjoy looking at the pictures if you are an Elvis fan :) Love the music on the page by the way!
2/1/2010 2:11:53 AM - 002059624475
Well girl, do you think this will be the week you and Jamie will have a "price break", and you can buy your San Diego tickets??!! I sure hope so :)
1/31/2010 10:57:23 PM - 002065887734
I got some new photos!!! WhooWee...!!! I saw you were thinking of places to go too. Thinking along the same lines....Wanted to stop by and say I hope today was just wonderful. In fact, I hope it is just perfect! That is so nice the church is having their service at your Grandmother's. I bet she enjoys it so much! The party will be so great! She can have her family, her church friends, her friends, and her nursing home friends. How good can it get! Yes, it will be great to have either a 4 or 5 generation photo...depending on who shows up. She is truly blessed with a loving family. Eat lots of cake for me!
1/31/2010 5:32:19 AM - 003001453404
Hi Lisa! How are you feeling??? Recovered fully now I hope! Sinus infections are never fun. I had one a while back and it lasted like 3 weeks! I was miserable...so how is the weather treating you? We are in Kentucky right now and it's been pretty cold. We got 6 inches of snow so this morning we took Haley out to play a little bit. It's kind of weird...I'm not used to it. I was born and raised in Orange County, CA where the coldest day is like 58 degrees! Lol...it's nice to be somewhere though where you get all 4 seasons. Never had that! So I've been enjoying it but I'll be excited to see some sunshine here soon! =) Hope everything is good with you. Talk to you soon!!!
1/30/2010 1:33:52 AM - 002065887734
Was stopping by for my daily view of your site and the little punkin, and saw you stopped by to say "hi" & hope we are ok weather-wise. We are freezing!!! It is cold! If it's warm in Galveston, I think I'll start hitchhiking south in the am. Don't think we are supposed to get any snow though. Thanks for asking. so glad you are feeling better. I'm finally getting perkier again, thank goodness! Shannons postcard is too cool! Getting some ideas for next year...hmmm

Love the header and anything with Kyleight in it you know. Well tell me all about depth of field! Don't ask me my dear. Hugs and working on books and gallery books also.
1/27/2010 7:35:02 PM - 001003494861
HI Lisa! Thanks for stopping by! Likewise, your pictures of Kyleigh, especially the B/W vignettes in the header are wonderful. The highlights glow like they are on fire! I love how the camera back is an additional light source for her face. Very nicely done. Do you have her repeating, "Aperture controls depth of field, and shutter speed controls the background...", yet ??
1/25/2010 10:26:56 PM - 002065887734
So glad you are starting to feel better. The last two days I have had a bit of energy. A little bit, but that counts! Hope your cough clears up totally! I didn't say anything about my Texas card. I'm not too efficient, so just figured you were tired of Christmas. Kyleigh's camera photo shoot is just priceless!!! She is bound and determined to figure that thing out! the photos are wonderful! Love your header. I'm getting so many ideas & then I think, "Boy, I wish I had had this when David was little..." but I need to keep thinking of things for NOW at his age NOW and not regret what didn't happen in his past! i have photos of him when he was little...just not Shutterfly type photos. I will have to figure out Shutterfly type photos for an 8 year old! Thanks for all your ideas. I did get a Santa hat on a dog and on my daughter, Lisa, from Picknic... so I consider that a success story. I'm going to continue and figure out more things. Think I will go for the premium package & work on it. Would love to do some of the scrap book effects. The ribbons & such on the Valetine photo you did with the two girls is just unbelieveable. I love it!!! Take care and continue to get better. my best to you.
1/25/2010 2:30:55 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE your new header. Just beautiful and I see Kyleigh will be a Shutterfly friend before you know it. Thanks for always sharing.
1/24/2010 3:36:35 PM - 002059624475
Good job Mimi, you're getting her started early. She'll be so good by the time she's our age. We'll just hire her!! ha. Glad you're on the mend, so am I. Going to try church this morning and then if I wear out, it will be football and rest! Really looking forward to March. I can't wait until you and Jamie can get your tickets and I hope you get a good price. There's got to good some good flights/prices out there somewhere darn it! Keep your eyes peeled girl!
1/24/2010 3:09:20 PM - 000034909909
Great job, another photographer coming up, really cute.
1/23/2010 7:46:20 AM - 003001453404
Hey Lisa! Love the new pictures of Kyleigh! She is so adorable. I just wanted to stop by and say hi and see how you were feeling..better I hope! Also, I just wanted to tell you that I just completed my first 2 photo books! I'm so excited! =) Now I can experiment with future ones...thanks for all the inspiration from your site and pictures!!! Talk to you soon!
1/23/2010 5:15:41 AM - 000074469281
I just checked out all your picnik photos and now that I see what all can be done, this inspires me to get the premium package. I want to do it now, but I'll get up early. Thanks for sharing your talents. I'm in love with picnik and i love the ease of it. Well, I'm still figuring it out. Thanks for the inspiration!!
1/23/2010 4:25:24 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, feeling better? My gosh its been forever since I have been here. I like the photos of you opening Jean and Jamie's gifts. And how cute is Miss Kyleigh and the camera - she has the look of serious determination.
I was playing around on picnik but it wouldn't let me save one of my photos. So I'll try again tomorrow. I just wanted to pop in and say hi. I have been so bad at visitiing sites. Sorry...
have a good weekend and feel better.
1/22/2010 6:58:00 AM - 002065887734
JUST STOPPING TO LET YOU KNOW I'M WORRIED ABOUT YOU. HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON. LOTS OF PNEUMONIA UP HERE, SO BE CAREFUL. HOPE YOU MIGHT BE FEELING A BIT BETTER TODAY. SEEMS LIKE IT'S A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME. YOU ARE DUE FOR SOME GOOD DAYS SOON! (YOU'VE PAID YOUR 'SICK DAY DUES' FOR MOST OF THE YEAR ALREADY.)
1/21/2010 9:30:05 PM - 000085599530
Feel good soon sweetie.... My head has been hurting to for the last two days.. yuck! Take care!
1/21/2010 4:33:05 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, hope today is a better day for you. I got an email via facebook from a lady that would like me to share her daughters shared site with everyone. I myself have not met her but she would love for us to stop by and share our thought and input with her. She does the photobooks and may be interested in starting digi scrapping. I mentioned we have a great group here and if she would like assistance we are here. So here's her site can you help spread the word? Thanks :) tmcbridefamily.shutterfly.com

1/20/2010 7:02:22 PM - 002065887734
No photo thoughts, just hope you feel better soon. It's crummy to feel bad. (My daughter Lisa and John have focibly made me go to dr. I've been sick since 12/24 & not at all well yet. I see doc at 3 today. I don't want to go and then just say, "I don't feel good" which is about all I can say.) Hope Kyleigh doesn't get it. Good luck with that and hope you get well real soon. Barb
1/20/2010 5:05:33 AM - 002032428374
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for stopping by our family page (even when I have been terrible about updating it - Marissa has been keeping up with the page much better than I have!) Not enough hours in the day...
Kyleigh is getting so big and beautiful of course! I love all of the Christmas pictures of her.
I hope you get to feeling better soon. Michelle
1/20/2010 3:22:48 AM - 002035648808
I am so sorry you are sick Lisa...what a bummer. You have had a really hard time lately. Do you think that maybe you are picking up Kyleigh's colds and things like we used to when our kids were little? Feel better soon. But, I do have something that might make you smile. I am on my way to DC. We decided to leave a day early and take our time. We stopped at Galinburg. You are not going to believe this, but Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg still have Chirstmas decos everywhere. Both towns and really decked out. Tomorrow, on our way out, we are stopping a huge Christmas Village. I am so excited. I am going to take pictures until they toss me to the curb, LOL! Get some rest, and start feeling better. When do you get your little punkin again. Hopefully she won't come down with something similar, or did she already have it and give it to her Gigi? Take care..ps..I have my laptop with me and will be downloading pics as I go this time :)
1/19/2010 3:40:22 PM - 001038348079
I'm thinking about you and sending you prayers to get to feeling better! I hate it when you are sick! Wow Lisa, I love the new header...it is breathtaking. Is that the 50mm lens? Looks like you two have bonded! Love you!
1/19/2010 3:45:35 AM - 002065887734
Your site is super! Kyleigh at the beach is just adorable. I got picnik to take my photos & now don't know what to do with them. I guess it's just "writers block", you know that happens to us artistic folk. LOL
1/17/2010 7:09:05 AM - 002035648808
Just stopping by to see how you are doing this week-end. You got that tree down yet? LOL! Ugh, fun to put up, but not so fun to take down :( How's Miss Kyleigh doing? Do you have her again this week-end? It is so cool that you are getting her so much these days ;) Take care and I'll catch up with ya later!
1/15/2010 5:46:25 PM - 002020640084
THE WINTER HEADERS ARE STUNNING! THEY LOOK LIKE A MAGAZINE COVER! THE JOURNALING IS THE PERFECT TOUCH! HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND! :)
1/15/2010 3:50:39 PM - 002065887734
Lisa, on way to dr. but wanted to thank you formally for Bass Pro Shop. I ended up making a little, light hearted book of our time there. I messed up on the name when I put it together. It's supposed to be John and Barb in Santa's Workshop. You are the reason we have ANY photos at all this year!!! Thank you so much. (and the little book looks like we had a lot of Christmas! as I told Rhonda, I made my lemonade out of my lemons! thanks.)
1/14/2010 6:14:35 AM - 002066991916
WOW Lisa your header photos
are so excellent especially Kyleigh (THE FUN WITH PICNIC) so wonderful. She is soooo cute. Your scrapbook is so beautiful and creative. Nice job
1/14/2010 2:53:44 AM - 002035648808
Hey Lisa...Well I survived the scope with no complications, thanks be to God. They did find some more erosion on my esophagus and I have developed several polyps in my stomach. They biopsied some of them and bured some of them off. The Dr. told me that normally these are not atypical cells. They are also checking me for H-pylori due to all the irritation in my stomach. He also says that it has given me some mild asthma and lung issues. The only thing that he really recommended is that I get the head of my bed elevated with some bricks or something like that so that the reflux stops doing so much damage. He changed my meds around some and the times I take them. Other than that, I am as healthy as a horse, LOL! I am sure the biopsies will be fine and if I do have H-pylori it is very treatable with antibiotics. So, what's up with Kyleighs mom? I am so glad you are getting to keep her. I am sorry to hear that you are covered up with work and all. I am trying to wean myself away from SF some because I will not be able to be on it hardly at all when I start to work. I wondered what I did before SF came along, LOL! Two more work days and the week-end. Don't feel bad about your tree. We got our decorations down in the house on Sat. and still have outdoor decorations up. Oh, well, they still are pretty :)
1/12/2010 4:40:33 AM - 002035648808
I love the new headers Lisa. The black and white of the lake is awesome. Must be those picnik pics :) Thanks for stopping by and leaving the sweet comments. My new job starts Feb 8, a week after I get back from VA from my DC, VA trip. We will be leaving next Wed. morning for DC. I had to go down today for an employment physical. Tomorrow I am having a scope to make sure that my GERD has not caused any further damage to my esophagus. I must say that I am a tad bit nervous about the scope. This is not my first one, in fact I am supposed to have them at least every two years and I have waited four years between procedures this time. The reason I am so nervous, is right before Christmas, in one of our neighboring communities, a very well known, wonderful lady, had a routine scope done for GERD. The Doc who performed the procedure cut her Pancreas and failed to mention it to her. She and her husband went to Wal-Mart following the procedure and she collapsed with excruiating pain. They rushed her back to the hospital where the procedure was done and then they flew her to St. Louis and she passed away the next day. I already had my procedure set up for tomorrow when this happened. It is not the same hosptial, Dr. , or town, but none the less I am still A NERVOUS WRECK! Larry and I have to leave here at 5:30 A.M. to be there by 6:30 A.M. and I should be in bed, but I am nosing around on everyone's site instead :) I hope you have a great week and I hope your computer issues are resolved. I will be traveling about everyday this week. On Wed. we have to take Janna back to school early. She got a part-time job in the computer lab and she has to go back 4 days early to train:( She wasn't supposed to go back until Sunday. Bummer. Then I have to go back to the hospital on Thursday and have my pre-employement TB Test read. I wish they would let me read it myself, but I didn't dare ask. Don't rock the boat with the new job:) Oh, well, I guess I am getting prepared to travel again. My new job is 50 miles from my house. 100 miles round trip. I am used to it though. To get a decent job you have to travel. At least it is not city driving and it only takes 50 minutes to get there. I'll catch up with you later on. Oh, it sounds like you might be getting Kyleigh more and more. Did you say that her momma only had her and hour and then called for you all to come and get her again? What's up anyway! I am glad you all are getting her so much, though. You are so great with her and she is so happy when she is with you all :)
1/12/2010 3:55:49 AM - 002029331419
Love the new Headers!!
1/11/2010 5:27:43 PM - 003001453404

LISA,
OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS BEEN SO COLD & ICY IN TEXAS! I CAN SEE WHY EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED! ICY ROADS ARE DANGEROUS! WE ARE FULLY EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ICY & SNOWY CONDITIONS! ITS AMAZING HOW PREPARED WE ALWAYS ARE & HOW FAST THE STREETS ARE PLOWED OR SALTED!!! DID YOU GET TO DO ANY THING EXCITING ON YOUR DAY OFF? DID YOU ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND?
1/7/2010 6:54:24 PM - 000074469281
Looky here!! Love your header!! Playing with Picnik I see. I still can't get it to work. I will work on it this weekend. I was looking at another friends photos and I thought she used Photoshop, but i noticed she used the snowflake border and sure enough its Picnik!! An ice-storm. Wow, thats bad! I hate ice. Crazy weather all over. We just got another 5 inches of snow and its windy and cold!!! The owners/managers really need to get their lazy butts up and shovel - we can hardly get out the door. I think i'm going to take a photo! And you should see the drift out my kitchen window. I want to jump out but I think i may sink to the bottom, then what! HELP!! I got so many comments on your card of Miss Kyleigh!! Everyone loves it!!
Gonna run outside quick. I'm crazy!! I need to be better about visiting sites this year! Sucks you can't view pictures though. UGH!
1/7/2010 1:15:37 PM - 000082378991
Fun site! I haven't visited in awhile. Trying to catch up. Hope your holidays were merry & bright! :o)
1/6/2010 11:06:09 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...I love your new headers. They are adorable, especially the Gigi love. Well good news. I have had a job offer. You talk about a long day. It started off with me interviewing with a panel of 11 people. This was for the case management job. There were 3 Social Workers and 7 RN's and one controller present. That interview lasted for 45 minutes. I then had to go to my uncle's house and wait around until 1:00 for my second interview. Thank goodness the second interview was with only the head of the department. This was for the Clinical Documentaion Specialist. It is a brand new job and no one has had it yet. I met with her for about 1 hour. After that, I had to wait around for 45 minutes to meet with the CFO of the hospital to see how the interviews went and to see if I was to meet with the Wound Clinic Coordinator. The CFO had met with the team of 11 people and they were prepared to hire me today. I have that job offer and the CFO is waiting to hear how the second interview went. At least I know I have one of the jobs. I am keeping my fingers crossed because I would love to have the Clinical Documentaion Specialist. It seems a little more flexible and my cup of tea. I have always liked trying new things and am always up for a challange. It is just my personality. Thanks for all the prayers. They are so much appreciated on my end. I have come to realize that the power of prayer is so vital and can do wonderful things. I am so pround to have found so many shutterfly friends.
1/6/2010 4:28:36 PM - 001061427203
Yeah funny I was writing about the same thing as Toni when she kicked my butt off...LOL! I hae been trying to play around with it and love it, but wow it can take a ton of your time up....i am STILL trying to finish Brady's Spring/Summer 2009 book, guess i better stop playing and get finishing while the books are on sale. Hope your enjoying your cold weather down there (ok so i know you would rather have snow mixed in but sorry!). My gram in Florida is freezing right now since they dont have the insulation in there homes like we do up here. Drove home from work yesterday and it was -8 brrrrrrr! We plan on doing some major sledding this weekend with my cousing so hopefully we all dont freeze like a popsicle!!!!

Hi Lisa,
Yes, we have big big big plans for our travels in 2010!!! We are getting married this year May 1st 2010 (http://karlnatalieswedding.shutterfly.com/) and we are going to Australia for our Honeymoon. First stop is Sydney Australia and then after 4 days, were off to Aires Rock for some hiking and breath taking scenery, and then its high tide to Carnes for some awesome snorkeling (one of our number 1 things we want to do). We are really excited and basically packed and ready to go!!!!! I can't believe it's almost time, only a few months left, although there is still so much to do before hand! Thanks for checking out my page!
1/4/2010 9:45:15 AM - 002065887734
Gee, Lisa. You missed it! I had the best layout ever. I changed everything around and you missed it! Sorry, but I had to put it all back the same way. You'll never know....(teasing you since I know you couldn't see anything. It is same old, same old.) Hope your internet/computer gets fixed soon. I had problems with my internet & was about ready to change. Massive problems since Thanksgiving. Weeks of problems. (John does my computer stuff & everything was "ok" by him.) I couldn't keep my connection for more than 12 minutes...sometimes NEVER. John would tell me to do something & I'd still be waiting for my internet 2 songs later. The company was sending out a tech, because I had a "weak signal" & they needed to figure out why. The morning tech was coming to see what was going on, I happened to touch this little black box. None of the 4 wires going into it were plugged in all the way. The connections were not plugged in all the way!!! It's a miracle I had ANY internet. I told John & all he said was, "They were plugged in when I plugged them in." LOL! that's a man for you! I popped the lines into the slots & have been going great since. I cancelled the tech, but didn't tell them I found the problem. Think I need to learn about my computer, what do you think?
1/2/2010 4:19:31 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
HAPPY NEW YEAR! DID YOU DO ANYTHING EXCITING LAST NIGHT OR TODAY? DID YOU HAVE THE DAY OFF? HOPE YOUR FEELING BETTER! DID YOU HAVE CHRISTMAS DINNER AT HOME OR SOMEWHERE ELSE? I KNOW YOU SAID KYLEIGH WAS CRABBY IN THE MORNING BUT SHE WAS SO PRECIOUS LOOKING ALL SLEEPY IN THE MORNING! HOW DID NICK & RIDER ENJOY CHRISTMAS? DID YOU GET TO SEE STARLA FOR THE HOLIDAYS? HOPE CHRISTMAS 2009 WAS TRULY MAGICAL FOR YOU & YOUR FAMILY! :)
1/1/2010 8:59:43 PM - 001025515806
Happy New Year Lisa!!! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful 2010. Love all your Christmas pictures
1/1/2010 7:51:10 AM - 002035648808
Happy New Year Lisa...I hope 2010 is wonderful for you and your lovley family:)
12/31/2009 11:00:33 PM - 002065887734
Just read where you were sick. I'm so sorry. I hope it's not what's going around up here. Hope you feel better soon! (Hope we all feel better soon.)
12/31/2009 10:57:30 PM - 002065887734
Just saw your note about "Texas". My dear lady, I do believe you have paid me the highest possible comment...from a Texan. Thank you! I was in Texas before I was in Kindergarten and still remember my dad and grandpa chasing a tumbleweed to catch it for me. It was wonderful fun for me. They were a bit winded and angry when they finally got back to the car. Yes. 9 members of my family came down with BAD flu Christmas Eve morning. I was almost as sick as when I had Hong Kong flu in early 70's & was put in hospital. It's been awful. We haven't had Christams yet. Total is now up to around 13 or 14 of us and there are only 20 or so of us left alive...so it's hitting the whole bunch. Someone came thru the visitation for mom with the bug. Sure hope they didn't know. Would be awful if they knew they were sick & STILL came. Lisa got it yesterday, so seeing David got pushed off to later...AGAIN. That's ok. I don't feel good enough to enjoy anything anyway. This is the year Christmas passed over the Hanna clan. (and we have been so sick, it's ok)
12/31/2009 7:35:52 PM - 001076975951
HAPPY NEW YEAR & BEST WISHES!!! Have a safe and wonderful NY Eve.
12/31/2009 7:29:13 PM - 000039334931
Hope you are feeling better and ready to start the New Year!!!!! I completely agree about the little stuff!!!
12/31/2009 6:05:18 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...I'm so sorry that you are feeling bad. I am on round two of the yucks. I knew when Jeff came down and had a bad cold and sore throat that it was probably a different virus than mine, and guess what it was. I was getting over my sore throat cold last night and in the middle of the night got sick again. Today I have a horrible HA, slight fever and sneezing like crazy. I am already on Cipro for my kidney, so it must be a virus. I have some tips for sore throats and stuffy sinuses. Try garling with sea salt, crushed Bayer aspirin, and baking soda. It really does work, and those Neli sinus flushes are awesome. I am going to have to break down and do that one again. It is supposed to flush the virus out of your sinus cavity. I had a couple of pharmasists tell me that it works better than anything they have ever seen. Thank you so much for all the comments on my pictures. Luke was a blast this year. Jeff and Mary told us Monday that Jeff and Luke would be back to Piedmont in the next couple of weeks for a visit because they gave each other 24 hours of R&R without the other or Luke around. A weird concept for my generation, but I say hey, anything to get to see my boys again and so soon:) I just hope we are all healthy soon. Janna is recovering quickly from her surgery. We hope it will help her smile. Poor thing:( Larry came down with the sore throat last night. We are supposed to meet up with some friends this evening for some dinner and drinks at the club, but I don't know if we are going to be healthy enough. It was a blast getting to know you this past year on shutterfly. What a neat way to meet life-long friends;) I feel as if I had made several lifelong friends and know more about their families than I know about folks that I have known for 20 plus years:) Here's to a fantastic 2010!
12/31/2009 5:54:43 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I SAW YOUR COMMENT SAYING YOU HAD A FEVER & WERE SICK! HOPE YOUR FEELING BETTER! I'M GLAD YOU GOT A PEEK AT MY NEW SNOW PAGE! ANY NEW YEARS EVE PLANS? I CANNOT BELIEVE 2009 IS ALMOST OVER! WOW!!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE A HEALTHY, HAPPY, STRESSFREE, PEACEFUL, & FUN FILLED NEW YEAR! HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
12/30/2009 7:25:45 PM - 000039334931
Hi, I loved your story about your first year in Nebraska and how you wanted to see the snow. I bet that 26 years went by pretty fast, I feel like the days are going by faster and faster. I canāt believe itās almost 2010! The future has arrived!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!
12/30/2009 12:22:12 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa! I love your headers and the photos of Kyleigh are way too precious. She is a fashion queen!!
I read on GG C that you are having a low down after the holiday. It seems worse for me this year, I'm in a funk! UGH! Seems like the whole month of Dec and even before we are preparing for these two days and they go by way too fast. Then you sit there with all the wrapping paper thrown everywhere wondering where did Christmas go!! Next week will be a new year and I look forward to that.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas w/ Kyleigh and your family. Its fun having kids around. They make things brighter. Seeing things through the eyes of a child is wonderful.
Take care and talk to u soon!
12/29/2009 7:47:32 PM - 002020640084
LISA,

12/29/2009 5:26:50 AM - 002035648808
Love the headers Lisa...and the pictures of the Christmas tree and Little red dress and opening presents are over the top. She is just too precious and in the mail today, I got the nicest suprise. Cards and letters from Lisa and Kyleigh. How exciting is that:) I will have to tell you, Luke was actually looking at his shutterfly page and then I showed him Kyleigh and he went beserk. It was hysterical. I think a long distance romance is in the making, LOL. Seirously though, I have a picture of him looking at the computer and it is so sweet. He was pointing and trying to kiss the screen. I was able to snap a couple of shots but had to keep putting the camera down and keep him from pushing all the keyboard keys. I tell you what, it is nearly impossible to get his picture these days. He is in constant motion. I cracked up when I read your letter about trying to keep up with Kyleigh and taking pictures. It's the truth. You have to be one step ahead and with the little guys it is so hard. We had an absolute blast with Luke even though I was sicker than a dog, as was Jeff and then Luke. Everyone was in a good mood despite our colds and sore throat. Good news, I got a phone call today and I have an interview tomorrow at 2:00 P.M. Keep those prayers going girl. Something is working and it has to be all the prayers. I made it to the final phase and I hope to goodness that they choose me:) After the interview, Janna and I will leave from Poplar Bluff to go to Jonesboro Ark. where Janna will have hopefully her last oral surgery. She is having a tissue graft, poor thing. She has all the crappy genetics on both sides of my family in her mouth. She should have a killer smile when she is done but it has been very draining on her emotionally. She has been dealing with this since 4th grade. All of her friends were done with orthodonics by the time they were in highschool and here she is a freshman in college and she is still having difficulties. On a positive note, though, she got straight A's her first semester. She had to work her tail off to get them and she feels like she deserves everyone of them:) We are really proud of her efforts. Well, I just downloaded about 400 pictures and I hope they all have turned out. I'll catch toward the end of the week. Hope you have a grand week:)

By the way I really like your Christmas Morning and Opening present. I think Kyleigh cannot wait to open her present too lol. She looks so cute on her red dress. Go Lady! Way to go...

I agree with Jean. Your header photos are very beautiful. You are awesome. You really know how to moving around and adding more photos so quickly. By the way I just want to say Thank you so much for your wonderful and sweet Christmas card. Your hand written is so lovely and your message is so sweet. The Kyleigh photos are so beautiful. You made a perfect setting on this card. Thanks again Lisa. Wish you a great 2010.
12/29/2009 2:28:05 AM - 002029331419
Ooo Nice Headers Lisa!! :0)
12/29/2009 12:13:10 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
THE NEW HEADER IS SO MAGICAL OF YOUR 2009 ORNAMENT, YOUR PERFECT LITTLE MODEL KYLEIGH, & THE HUMPTY DUMPTY ORNAMENT! I LOVE IT!:)
12/28/2009 4:23:25 PM - 000096883315
Hi Lisa, that little Kyleigh is such a doll. I really love my grandsons, but I hope I get a girl next time. I've got the tea set all ready! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas. My daughter bought me a new computer, so I have plenty more room for photos and videos and it's so fast. Better watch out! Happy New Year
12/28/2009 12:34:12 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...What a blast we are having with little Luke. We were able to cross, the creek, not so safely I must say at 9:30 P.M. Christmast eve. We got back out again at 11:30 P.M. for MN Mass. It was still not to safe but Larry has a pretty big, tall truck and we didn't go floating down the creek, thanks be to heaven:) Mass was beautiful. Nothing like celebrating the birth of Our Lord Jesus:) My pain is gone for now, but I have a terrible sore throat. Jeff also has a sore throat, and one of our nieces and family couldn't make it to the get together yesterday. I have taken literally hundreds of pictures and guess what, no one has taken the camera away from me yet. Luke still is sick with a cold but in a pretty good mood despite it. Our celebrations have been perfect. We had a wonderful time at my mothers on Christmas Eve, at my Aunt Dianes on Christmas Day and then at my house yesterday. Luke was hysterical. He loves little girls and our 3 year old niece Emma wasn't too impressed. The funniest thing happened. Gracie Sue snapped at little Emma and I really scolded her and was pointing my finger at her, doing the dog whisperer thing, and the next thing we knew, Luke was doing the exact same thing to her and she was listening to him. I wish we could have thought to get it on our video on our camera but we were all so busy rolling in the floor laughing that we couldn't even think. Luke then went to Emma and started hugging and kissing her and she was like oooooh, boy germs. What a cute little pair they were. My sister, Tracy and Roy, took off back to KC yesterday, got 20 miles from their house and had to rent a motel for the night. The roads were a solid sheet of ice and they could not make it the last 20 miles. Thank goodness they made it as far as they did without any incident. We had a scary 20 minutes on Christmas night at my Aunt Dianes house. Lexy's daddy, Josh, was driving in Sedalia, MO. on his way to Christmas with Lexy and Felicia. He had just pulled two cars out of the ditch and had just gotten off the phone with Felicia to tell her not to get out because of the road conditions, and the next thing he knew, his vehicle had flipped. As far as I have heard he had nothing more than a headache but that still worries me because I know it could always be something worse. But, Tracy hasn't called with any bad reports. We ended up with about an hour white Christmas at the house and I got some Pictures:) I am glad that you got little Kyleigh for Christmas without any difficulty from her mommy. I am sorry to hear about your foot. I have had that happen to me awhile. If I were a betting person, I would say that the combination of increased activity and wet weather have inflammed it. Hopefully nothing worse. Stay off of it, keep eating Ibuprofen, and it should get better. If not by about Tues. or Wed. I would say see Doc. I am going top try and journal all of my Christmas activities. Oh, my goodness, a little boy with only his diaper just walked up to me holding a Christmas bear. How cute. I had better get off of here and grab my camera. Talk at ya later:)

Hello Lisa...
I am finally stopping by to say Merry Christmas. I need to get back in the Shutterfly saddle and work the Gallery. I just slowed down a bit to get our Christmas stuff under control. We had a great morning with the kids. They played Beatles Rock Band on the Wii all day and Trinity played princess dress up. Got some good shots of her... I am waiting for them to upload now. Take care and see you on FB.
12/25/2009 11:04:35 PM - 001066325224
Just stopping by to wish you a Merry Christmas!
12/25/2009 3:18:29 AM - 002035648808
Merry Christmas Lisa...I'm not rolling around in the floor yet, LOL! The Toradol shot helped a bunch. But, your getting a Texas Blizzard. We are getting a MO flood. We cannot get to our house. We are stuck at my mom's not prepared to spend the night. So far, we have received 8 inches of rain, yuk. Our house doesn't flood or really anywhere within 1/8 of a mile, but if you have seen my pictures, we have a low water bridge with a small creek that looks like the mississippi right now:( We hope to get home sometime before MN tonite. We got out in Larry's big truck, but cannot get back across. I guess we are going to wait around here, go to Mass at 11:30 P.M. and hope to heavens that we can get back across it. I have tons to do to get ready for our get together Sat. We might have a dusting of snow by tomorrow morning. My best friend Jean, told me awhile ago that her kids probably won't make it down from Kansas tomorrow because of ice and snow. Hopefully they will be able to come sat. They usually spend about 4 or 5 days. Luke, Mary, and Jeff will be down sat. I found out today that Mary has to head back on Sun for a big business meeting but Jeff asked if him and Luke could stay for a couple of days and take them back to St. Louis and of course I said YES, YES, YES! Always a silver lining when you least expect. I can stand being a day behind at the house just knowing that my little Luke will be here for a few days;) I hope you will have little Miss Kyleigh over the Holidays. I know how much that would mean to you guys. Enjoy that "White" Christmas and we will do our best until we can get home. Our Gracie Sue and Chico are there in the house by themselves:O
12/25/2009 2:23:42 AM - 000031826072
Merry Christmas, Lisa! Hey we have a white Christmas here in Kansas - it's blowing and snowing tonight!
12/23/2009 7:03:19 PM - 001076975951
Texas Blizzard, LOL Lisa. Come up east and then we'll talk. I know you personally have experienced blizzards living in Nebraska. Not so much fun when you have to dig out and slip and slide. Enjoy your Texas Blizzard. By the way what's the most snow Texas has ever received?
12/23/2009 4:54:59 AM - 002065887734
I was MeMaw until about 3. One day David said "Grandma" as plain as day & I ignored him. I had grown quite fond of MeMaw. He finally said, "Did you hear what I said? I said Grandma. I can say it now." Lost innocence...Every now and then David will call me "memaw" on purpose & then smile and say, "I know you like that, so sometimes I'll do it to make you happy." What a kid! I want to congratulate Lorri, but don't know who she is. Your site keeps getting better all the time. Love to visit here.
12/23/2009 12:59:57 AM - 002035648808
Oh, I almost forgot, I think I will be Grandmama. Luke's other Grandma is Gigi. She has two other grandsons, 4 and 2. The oldest one called her Gigi when he was about 2 so it stuck. I really don't care what he calls me. MeMa, Grandma, Grandmama, not crazy about Granny just yet, maybe for the great-grandkids. Whatever he calls me will probably stick. The stianed glass windows on my headers are from my church. They were put there in 2001. I think their pretty. A little different look than your older stianed glass windows, but pretty none the less:)
12/23/2009 12:55:51 AM - 002035648808
Hey Lisa...No snow for us this Christmas, just 3 inches of rain tomorrow and Thurs., yuck! I am sorry to hear that your work has you so tied up. That stinks. Oh, well, maybe you can chill and spend time with that cute little Kyleigh. I just wanted to let you know to keep praying about that job. I made it to phase two of hiring process. Evidently the jobs that I want are very popular and tons of people have applied. Well, we'll see what the good Lord decides for me. I just got back from the Dr. Their thinking I have a kidney stone. I have been having some severe left flank pain for the last 4 days. It comes and goes so I really wasn't leaning toward a stone. I have never had a stone before but I heard they were really painful. I don't feel like rolling in the floor screaming yet, so I don't know but they said all tests are pointing toward that. They gave me a shot to relax the ureter and they said it could move if I do have a stone. I sure don't want anything to mess up my Christmas plans. I have been working really hard, baking, cleaning, and such to make sure that everyone has a fabulous time on Sat. Oh, well, hopefully it will turn out okay. Thanks for stopping by today and checking the pictures out. The older I get the more I seem to enjoy the kids pics when they were little. I hope things slow up for ya at work and you get to enjoy the rest of your week:)

Lisa, left a few quotes for you today. Cheers. Have a great weekend.
12/18/2009 6:16:56 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
THANKS SO MUCH FOR ADDING ALL YOUR MAGICAL PHOTOS THIS WEEK! I'M SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED MY NEW PAGE! IT MY 1ST SHUTTERFLY CHRISTMAS I GOT A LITTLE CARRIED AWAY! LOL!
OH, I WANTED TO STOP BY TO SAY I GOT ALL MY PAGES FIXED FOR NOW! :)
12/17/2009 3:29:59 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Lisa. Just wanted to stop by and say thank you. I want to thank you again for Kyleighs card. You commented you liked that page. You better like it! Kyleigh and the Paytons are the page! I added stuff as fillers until the other Shutterfly people add their items. No one has yet! I have grown fond of Miss Kyleigh's scrunched up elf dog and will be leaving it until you see it or the season is over. It's right next to the REAL, non-scrunched dog, so it sort of looks like you're seeing double on a bad night. (I told you the wrong page. It's on the page right next to Home, on the My Little Feral SITE. If you don't see it that's ok. I'm enjoying it...I don't know how it got scrunched & it's sure not the typical photo on Shutterfly!!!) Thank you for all your visiting on my sites, and the kind words. Thank you for your good wishes and prayers. They are appreciated. Barbara Jean
12/16/2009 11:02:01 PM - 000074469281
Oh Lisa, I know. i was cracking up at our emails too. I just am so excited to see what it is!!! Catch ya later!
12/15/2009 9:41:49 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...thanks for stopping by. I got the photobook done and I think I can breath again. I am just waiting to get it critqued before I order it later today. I don't know if I have the job yet. I was asked to apply and am waiting to hear if I get it. Please say a prayer. I think this will be right up my alley. Thanks, Rhonda
12/15/2009 7:09:15 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I THOUGHT OF YOU THIS WHOLE WEEKEND! WE WENT TO THE CHRISTMAS TREE FARM AND CUT DOWN OUR TREE! WE HAD THE TIME OF OUR LIVES! IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WINTER DAY! THE SNOW WAS GLITTENING SO BRIGHT AND PRETTY ON EVERYTHING! IT WAS LIKE A MOVIE!(THE SNOW USUALLY GETS DIRTY RIGHT AWAY WHEN THEY PLOW BUT IT WAS SO WHITE & PRETTY IN THE COUNTRY AND AT THE TREE FARM) ANYWAYS, I WILL POST THEM WHEN I GET A CHANCE! HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND! :)
DID YOU GET THE LITTLE SURPRISE YET?
12/15/2009 4:53:30 AM - 002035648808
Oh, I almost forgot....the template that Luke's first Christmas is on is a free one from Scrapblog.com. It is a wonderful easy to use site. Once you find the free ones, everytime you go back to your created cards, it will take you to the freebies..Free is always nice:) All of the greeting cards from my page are from there. And you can play around an personlize them too:)
12/15/2009 4:07:53 AM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa....Sorry I haven't been by in awhile.. We have been running like crazy, but a wonderful crazy. It sure was good to see Luke Friday. I didn't get home until 11:30 P.M. from St. Louis. On Saturday, I had a funeral to go too. One of my dear church friends and mentor passed away after a 2 year battle with Kidney Cancer. That evening we had a Christmas party to go too. We met up with some friends that we haven't seen in many years. We kind of got out of the circuit with these frineds once we had kids. While the kids were in school we spent most of our time in a gym, scouts, etc. We had a blast at the party. It was like 27 years hadn't passed at all. We played some really fun games. It was so hysterical. Everyone's hearing seems to be impaired and I didn't bring my reading glasses and had to borrow one of our groomsmen's glasses. The game we played was a timed game that required reading and we would throw the glasses back and forth..There were two gentlemen there that were in our wedding 32 years ago. How fun is that. After arriving home at 1:00 A.M. I had to drag myself out of bed and play the piano at church. Larry and I spent the afternoon trying to finish wrapping all the Christmas presents and then had to rush to my mom's for one of our good friends birthday party. I spent today trying to clean house and then we went and finished Christmas shopping and bought all of my stuff to start baking with in a town about 50 miles away. And on top of that I have been staying up late trying to get a 27 years of Christmas of Grandkids for my mom for Christmas. I guess I kind of let Joey talk me into it, lol. She mentioned that I should do a photobook with all of my Santa pictures in it and I got to thinking and shucks, I just couldn't say no:) I almost have all the pictures downloaded and have got the book picked out and kind of started. I would love to journal but I really don't have the time or patient for much of that right now. And, I am looking at getting a job outside of my home. A job opened up in a woundcare clinic with great pay and benefits, and I was asked to put my name in the hat since wounds are my specialty. I am ready to get back out and make a little more money so I can do the traveling that I want to, lol! If I get lucky and get this job I won't start until Feb. because of an upcoming trip to DC and Massanutten VA. You asked about the weather. Well girl, you have had more snow than we have had. All we have had is rain, 50 mile an hour winds, frigid cold weather, a warm up with more cold weather and high winds on the way tomorrow. AT least we haven't had an ice storm. I could use a little snow only if the roads don't get too bad. I have 25 folks coming for Christmas on the 26th and I have so much work to do to get ready, but I'm having a blast planning and getting ready for it. One of these days I will have to post the Nutcracker and girls week-end on my site. I barely have time to read my e-mails right now. I am so glad that you get to spend so much time with Kyleigh. I know it must be hard having her for a week and then now seeing her for a week. I just hope that Jeff and Mary keep doing as well as they seem to be doing and go ahead and get married after Jeff gets out of Paramedic school next fall. I would feel better once I see a committment there. I couldn't bear the thought of not seeing my Little Luke if something happened to them. Well, that's what's up in my world. I appreciate all the sweet comments on my site. I am going have to go and see what you got going on here. I know I will love whatever I find. I always do, and then I think, well maybe I ought to try that, LOL! I want to do a journal entry soon and get everything caught up but I seem to let it take up a lot of time and my time is running short. I'll catch up with ya later. I hope your Chirstmas Season continues to be full of blessings and that you have more speical times with your little punkin and your boys and hubby:)
12/13/2009 10:08:27 PM - 001034648809
Thanks Lisa!! Love the pics you took of Kage on Friday!
12/13/2009 12:27:16 AM - 000074469281
I think I'm going to watch Elf or Christmas Vacation after supper
12/13/2009 12:10:33 AM - 000074469281
Hi Lisa, It's Seven Swans a Swimming in the 12 Days of Christmas...
12/12/2009 9:17:05 PM - 000074469281
I can't wait to see photos of all of you around the tree. I always try to do that Christmas Eve when everyone is home. I found out Sunday that Jack gets confirmed May 21st which is the night of the 5k Marathon. They moved it to Friday night because there are so many people at the regular one and nearly 4,000 at just the 5k. So needless to say I was very bummed when I read that online. I can't miss Jack's confirmation - don't know why it has to be on a Friday night - thats not a holy day. I'm his Godmother!! I know there will be other events and I'll keep puling along - maybe by 2011 - I'll be even stronger. I even asked my brother-in-law if he'd walk/run with me and he said Yes. It is disappointing, but nothing I can do about it. I haven't even told my family yet. Grrrr!!
12/12/2009 7:15:46 PM - 002071387328
Lisa, love the pictures of Kyleigh posting her xmas wishes!
12/12/2009 6:46:04 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, thanks for stopping by this afternoon. Would love to add picture of Brady and Santa if i could get them in the same picture..LOL. We may actually head over to the Bass Store in a little while to see if we have any success! The weather here is really cold,as of 1:30 we have a high of 23 degrees! Suppose to be fridgit all weekend and them warm to the 30's for the week. I am already counting down the days to April when we head back to Florida to pick my gram up!!! Oh and i also added my tree pic to your christmas page :)
Did you see the snowman pretzels i did with Brady this am?
12/12/2009 6:00:50 AM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa....even though Kyleigh wouldn't sit in Santa's lap by herself the pictures are too precious. Boy did I get a pleasant suprise today. I went to St. Louis for one last shopping trip before Christmas. I still had to hook up with Jeff to do his Christmas shopping. Mary had something she had to do and Jeff and to pick up Luke from the sitter after he got out of school, and dang it the little darling had to spend the evening at the mall with us:) He was in such a good mood, cut up, laughed gave Grandmama tons of kisses and hugs, and was the star of the evenig. Such a contrast from one week ago! I even got brave and left Jeff looking for a piar of tennis shoes and took my little darling to see Santa. And wouldn't you know it? It was shutterlfy sponsered. They were giving out free gift certificates with your picture puchases. I had several complete strangers asking what was shutterfly and I felt like a sales rep explaining it too them. One of the mothers is a graphic design artist and has been looking for something like shutterfly to do her digital layouts and was delighted to hear that she could do them with shutterfly. She took down info and said that she was going straight home, getting on her internet and going to the site! It tickled me pink! Luke was about like Kyleigh, not excited about Santa at all. He did sit in his lap and got a picture of him about to cry. I told Jeff that I have one of him just about identical at that age. Jeff said that he can usually get Luke to smile when getting his picture made. Oh, well, just me and Luke seeing Santa was really neat. And, I was suprised with a free massage before going to the mall by "The Russian", ahhhhh, so relaxing! I think it was even better this week if that is possible! A massage and Little Luke for 4 hours, it doesn't get any better, does it:) The only downer for the day was my lack of camera in hand. If I would have had any idea that I would see my baby at the mall for that long I could have taken some great pictures. He was so comical and entertaining! He waved at all the pretty girls, flirted, it was hysterical. And to see Jeff watching him with such love, well, it brings tears to my eyes just talking about it:) Oh, and I got about 100 smooches from Luke today, I guess he was making up for last week! Have a great week-end. Kyleigh's red dress is just over the top cute!
12/11/2009 4:57:30 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I FOUND SOMETHING SILLY ON EBAY FOR YOU! I HAD THE SELLER SHIP IT TO YOU DIRECTLY! ITS TINY AND WILL PUT A SMILE ON YOUR FACE! WHEN I SEEN IT I HAD TO BID ON IT! IT COMING FROM Hogansville, Georgia! YOU SHOULD GET IT TOMORROW OR SATURDAY! :)
BY THE WAY, THE TEXAS "BLIZZARD CRACKS ME UP"! I KNOW YOU WERE IN YOUR GLORY! :)
12/11/2009 4:28:38 AM - 000074469281
Hey did you have that Texas blizzard? How far are you from Houston?
12/11/2009 4:26:59 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Texas friend!! I feel so out of the loop not being able to visit but I'm here now. I got most of my gifts wrapped. I'm waiting for a couple of last minute ones. How FUN are Shannon's postcard pictures! Neat idea - i wonder where she got that idea from?? LOL - You are filled w/ such grand ideas.
Ho Ho Ho wishing you & your family a great Christmas. I promise to be back befoe. How fun that Starla is going on her cruise Saturday.
Talk to u later. Santa Joey has more stops to make tonight.
How are YOU?
12/10/2009 3:57:42 AM - 001024320926
Barb no worries!!! I love that you visited, come see me any time :) I will go back and check out your page again. I say the picture where he's practically running from Santa at the bottom. I looked at them all :)
12/10/2009 3:50:37 AM - 002065887734
Thanks for your card! It is so cute. I just found it. If tonight proved anything, I'm the goober even though I didn't go on the trip. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your whole family. Love, Barb
12/10/2009 12:28:17 AM - 002065887734
Hi, Lisa. Thanks for stopping. (I'm trying to get of one Home. Did you notice? ha!" I pulled out the stops. All of family photos so my mom could see. I love them too. Like how many gingerbread houses and churches do you need...sometimes ALL of them. Next time you're by my site look at the bottom right. (Don't think I'm making any more changes.) David went to Santa to help a younger child go. They even did one photo together. I pulled a photo out from that session. David's almost running to get away from Santa and a look of relief on his face. Not your traditional photo, but it's so cute. (He's age 8 now & getting 'grown-up'.) Don't think he wanted any of his friends to see him. OH, by the way. Shutterfly was doing the Santa! They offered a computer flashcard and a $20.00 Shutterfly gift card for $32.00. Or just 2 photos for a little less. Lisa, my daughter was so excited about the Shutterfly deal. bye for now. This is off the subject, but I don't think any of you guys are goobers. It just looks like a group of good friends having a great time! No goobers around, just fun times!!!
12/9/2009 4:09:29 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, got the pictures posted for you. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK
12/9/2009 4:09:28 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, got the pictures posted for you. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK, I can not begin to tell you how many compliments i have gotten for this creative idea. I just keep telling people i simply stole the idea and ran with it...LOL!
12/8/2009 8:42:44 PM - 002029331419
Lisa !! I'm loving the new dress and trying to get a picture of Kyleigh & Santa together!! :0) Keep trying, you never know which one she'll be ok with!
12/7/2009 5:59:45 PM - 001061427203
I had to stop back and tell you i love that picture of you with the big cowboy hat and camera!
12/7/2009 4:17:03 PM - 002035648808
Either I was dreaming early this morning or the news said that we might have a Blizzard mid-week! And I don't have my Chirstmas shopping done. When we get snow around here we come to a complete standstill due to the curvey roads! It will get us further in the Christmas spirit however:)
12/7/2009 3:07:16 PM - 001061427203
LIsa, thanks so much for allowing me to steal your postcard idea, it was a blast and an awesome way to get pictures of people that dont normally want their picture taken.
I have to say i was cracking up looking through your "snow" pictures that you have labeled Blizzard. This is pretty funny, i know to you guys down in the southern hemisphere it probably was a blizzard, but when we get his with our first blizzard this year and have anywhere b/w 10-20 inches dumped on us in a 1 day span i will have to take a ton of pics and send them your way...you will get a kick out of it...LOL
I love those photos of Kyleigh with Santa, we headed to our Bass store as well, Brady had a ton of fun with all the toys to play with but when it came to sittting with santa....no way jose'. He will stand and wave to him and talk to him without a problem, but sitting on his lap and gettng a picture is off limited!
I will stop by later as i want to comment on some of the pictures you have, they are so cute!

Hi Lisa...I thought I would stop by and let you knwo what's been going on with Little Lexy. We were rushing into the Fox Theatre on Friday evening for the Nutcracker. Janna told me that I had a missed message from my sister Tracy. I had her read it to me as all of us were rushing in before they shut the doors on us! The message was that Lexy had another major seizure while in the tub and slipped under the water and aspirated. Her dad was with her, immediately pulled her from under the water and administered CPR. She spent the night in the hospital and is doing well for the moment. I didn't get the last part of the story until after the Nutcracker and almost worried myself sick that something bad would still happen with the little angel. As soon as the Nutcracker was over and we said our goodbyes to the boys and Mirranda and Mary, I called Tracy to get the scoop. Lexy is home and fine. Tracy and her family is very grateful for God and his army of angels watching out for our Little Lexy. Please let everyone you know to keep praying for this little darling. Who would have thought in their wildest dreams that she could come close to drowning with her dad or mom right with there with her when she was in the tub. This is such scary stuff. Then to top it off, I got home at 12:30 A.M. Sunday morning, and the CD Of pics of Lexy that I have been waiting for 2 weeks had finally arrived in the mail this Saturday. I downloaded it after chuch today and the pictures are remarkable. They sent 205 absolutely precious pictures. It just breaks my heart doing a photbook for them because I am scared that she won't have many future photobooks. I become so emotional just looking at her pictures that I don't know if I will be able to complete the book. I so want to get it done and in my hands before Christmas, because I want her dad Josh to have it to take to Afghanistan in April. And if this is not enough to worry about, Luke has been running a 103 temperature all week-end and cannot get in to see the Dr. until Tues. Jeff and Mary said that he has never really recovered from the H1N1 that hit him on Oct. 27. I don't know how pushy to get with them about getting him to the Dr. before Tues. I kept mentioning secondary infections and such, but don't know how hard to push! It is so frustrating! I am afraid he has pneumonia. He is taking 4 and 5 hour naps and this is not my Little Luke. He wouldn't come to me or Janna at all Friday when we saw the little guy! He was not sick at all during his first year of life and we got so used to him being so healthy. Any and all prayers for Little Luke and Lexy would be much appreciated! Thank you so much!

Hi from Long Island NY
I love taking pictures of nature and flowers. I see you enjoy beautiful flowers and her name is Kyleigh.
I visited Texas back in 1980, when my daughter was stationed in Fort Worth in the Air Force. We went down to San Antonio and saw the Alamo and The River Walk. Wonderful time.
Wishing you and yours a Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year
Bobbi
12/4/2009 2:53:31 PM - 002055694880
Just wait...here in a few hours you will really have some BLIZZARD photos to take. I think today.....Maybe tomorrow. That may put off our lunch. Can't risk you driving down the roads to get to me.....NOt worth it. Hopefully not in our area tho....but I hope it does cause I love snow. YOu knw what I mean! Back to work now!
12/4/2009 12:25:23 PM - 000093706714
Lisa...........these header shots of Kyleigh writing her Santa letter ARE THE BEST! They really made me feel the good ole Christmas spirit. What a beautiful site to wake up to..................Hugs honey!
12/4/2009 5:05:17 AM - 002035648808
Lisa....I have a news flash...There is a Santa Parade at downtown St. Charles on Sat. at 1:30 P.M. They have 40 different Santas:) I can't wait. I hope to get tons of pictures!
12/4/2009 2:26:47 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...I hope that everything is okay after your BIG Texas Blizzard...I hope you get more tomorrow. It might stick some since it has been in the 30's there today:) Thanks for all the comments on my site. I always love to hear from you. You crack me up and love the way you make everyone smile:) I added some Christams Tree Pictures to your Christmas Page. I am soooo excited about this week-end! And to top it off, I will get to see my baby boy! Luke, that is:) The Santa express sounds like a blast. I have heard of it before. I didn't realize it was in your part of the country. How cool is that. I would love to take Luke on something like this someday. Luke, Jeff, and Mary are going to go to tree farm with all of Mary's family and cut their Christmas tree this Saturday! We will be getting massages at that time, and I don't really think that we were invited anyway! Oh sigh, but as long as I get to see my Little Luke after that I will be a happy Grandmama! And I am looking forward to some great photo ops on Friday evening's dinner and The Nutcracker. It is not often that I get all my three children together at the same time. I think the last time was Luke's Baptism back in the Spring and all the pictures I took had Mary's brother in it which was fine, but I didn't realize at the time that I missed a great opportunity for tons of brother, brother, sister shots. Well, by golly, not tomorrow night. They will probably take my camera away from me and throw it in the trash by the end of the evening. Of course I will get Mirranda and Mary in some of the pictures, but will shoot my three at every opportunity without becoming to obnoxious:) I might even get in the spirit and have someone take my picture with the kids and of course Jean and I's picture is mandatory:) I met your sister Rhonda last night. I met her early on when I first developed my sharsite page and only found her again last night. She seems like an awesome ng lady. And her middle name is Sue just like mine! We both agreed that this is the first time that either one of us has ever known someone with Rhonda Sue as a name. I was cracking up because I kept seeing the same pictures of you on her and Starla's site. It was like, duh, they are related somehow. Then Rhonda told me today that you were her sister. Now, I just have to figure out how Starla is related. I had something really strange happen yesterday and today. I received emails from my dad's two brothers. I haven't seen one in 18 years and haven't heard from him in about five years, I haven't seen my other uncle since my dads funeral five years ago. It was so neat. They have always lived in the Wyoming area and we never really got to travel there but a couple of times when I was a kid! I sent them my sharesite so they could catch up our lives since they last saw us. How cool is that. I knew that all the time I was spending on my sharesite would come in handy someday and how awesome is it that my family will get a peek into our lives:) Have a blast with your Kyleigh this week-end, and I think you should wear your pajama's too:) Take tons of pictures and post them right away, hahah:)

Lisa, I'm so glad you like your shirt. You needed a souvenier from Pueblo and I couldn't resist when I saw this shirt. I got the green light from Jean, the columbine is our state flower and hummingbirds are loved around here. I hope you had a nice day, good weather, good chow, a nice nap and whatever else you like to do!! Jean & I are having a terrific time :)
11/26/2009 3:26:59 PM - 002035648808

Hi Lisa, I hope you are well and happy! What is your new lens like?
11/25/2009 4:48:48 AM - 002035648808
Hey Lisa..Thanks for stopping by. The snow is from two years ago in Feb. We haven't had any bad weather yet, but is is only supposed to in the low 40's on Turkey Day! Brrrr! I love snow but hate ice storms...We seem to be getting more of those the past few winters. We did have 6 inches of sleet followed by six inces of snow this past winter and several roofs collapsed. We only lost part of our barn roof, thank goodness. A nice 6 inches of wet snow where the roads are easy to clean is great, especaily for Christmas:) Have a great Thanksgiving:)
11/24/2009 3:50:42 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, welcome home. Hope you had a fabulous weekend. looking forward to the photos. Have a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

11/18/2009 4:15:40 AM - 002035648808
Well, I just scrolled up and saw Autumn days with Kyleigh..how precious is this book..she is so darn cute, I love all the pages..I couldn't pick a favorite if I had too:) Now where is that featured book, let me see.....
11/18/2009 4:12:35 AM - 002035648808
Congrats on your newest featured book! Way to go Lisa...Well let me tell you girl...How you kept from taking the pharmasit out (or the whole pharmacy staff for that matter) is beyond me..I certainly would pursue this..Like letting your doc know what happened, and probably getting a hold of some top guns that run the Wal-Mart pharmacy's...Of course my medical background doesn't help with my low opinion of this horirific blunder...Kyleigh was really put at risk over this..I am so upset that I am still shaking! If something happend like this to one of mine I would be beside myself and would probably kick some butt..I hope Kyleigh is okay now and was able to celebrate her birthday...I don't recall you mentioning this in your comment on my page..The good thing about her birthday is that you could celebrate it next month and she probably wouldn't know the difference, but I know that you all would. I so hope you got to do something with that precious little baby...On a positive note, I don't where my brain is:) I had my sister download Lexy's pics off her computer to my shutterfly accout...Dah! I am about a day late and a dollar short....I actually am starting to get pictures to work with that don't look like a jigsaw puzzle when I post them..and by 11:30 tonite, I will have about 200 in my possesion, yeah:) Well, I am going to get off of here and find that book of yours and check it out! I am glad that you have already fallen in love with little Lexy, wait till you see some of the gorgeous pics of this little angel..she it the sweetest little thing:)
11/18/2009 12:18:03 AM - 001024320926
Thanks Toni!!
11/17/2009 6:32:20 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SHUTTERFLY PARTY BOOK GETTING FEATURED!!! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU! :)
11/17/2009 4:33:48 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
THE TRIP TO TOUR THE COLLEGE WHAT NOT WHAT I EXPECTED AT ALL! I HAD NO IDEA THEY DIDN'T HAVE DORM ROOMS!!! YOU HAVE TO GET AN APARTMENT! THEN THE AREA WAS SO MOUNTAINOUS! THE STREETS WERE SO STEEP, CRAZY CURVES, VERY DARK, QUICK TURNS AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL, SOME PARTS HAD NO GUARD RAILS SO YOU CAN GO RIGHT OFF THE HILL!!! VERY SCARY!!! MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING FOR I THINK 24 YEARS AND HE WAS PETRIFIED AND THE WEATHER WAS PERFECT!!! CAN YOU IMAGINE WITH ICE, SNOW, FOG, OR RAIN?!!! I TRULY HOPE JOE DOESN'T GO THERE! I DON'T KNOW HOW HE WOULD BE ABLE TO PAY FOR AN APARTMENT ON HIS OWN! WE CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY ALL OUR BILLS AND PAY FOR A COMPLETE APARTMENT AND EVERYTHING FOR JOE AS WELL! MY FRIEND ROSIE'S SON JOE R. GOES TO THAT COLLEGE TO OUR SURPRISE! WE FOUND OUT ABOUT 10 DAYS BEFORE WE LEFT THAT IT WAS THE SAME COLLEGE! I HAD NO IDEA JOE R. WAS LIVING IN AN APARTMENT! HE LUCKED OUT THOUGH WITH 2 OF HIS HOMETOWN FRIENDS WENT AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY ALL CHIP IN FOR THE APARTMENT, GAS, ELECTRIC, FOOD, ETC. ITS STILL A VERY LONELY TIME BEING ON YOUR OWN AND NOT IN A DORM! I CAN'T IMAGINE JOE BEING COMPLETELY ON HIS OWN AND BY HIMSELF IN AN APARTMENT!!! NOT WHAT I PLANNED FOR MY SON! I CAN'T IMAGINE ANYONE DOING WELL LIVING IN A STRANGE STATE NOT KNOWING ANYONE AND TRYING TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES AND GOING TO SCHOOL!
11/17/2009 4:25:12 PM - 002020640084

Did little Kyleigh get to have her birthday party today? She has been on my mind. I have playing that she is feeling better today:)
11/14/2009 1:32:10 PM - 000064583745
Pumpkin Patch book is too cute! Kyleigh is just adorable! Love it!
11/13/2009 6:27:31 PM - 002084766435
Thank you so much for the kind words:) My Share site is a work in progress,but I'm learning!
Your page/pics are great! I ahve to add a Funny Face album..too cute!
11/13/2009 6:24:54 PM - 002035648808
wow...RSV at 2 years or is she three now. Thank goodness she didn't get at an ealier age...I will keep the little punkin in my prayers!
11/13/2009 6:23:45 PM - 002035648808
Lexi is such a little doll....She has been through so much in her 20 months of life that it would make you cry if you knew her. I fell in love with her the first 30 minutes that I met her. She is so full of life, and it scares me to think that one of awful seizures could make her autistic, brain damaged, or worse! I think all of my kids are pretty cute too.....
11/13/2009 6:20:24 PM - 002035648808
Howdy Lisa...I am so glad Kyleigh is feeling better...I am still waiting on those pictures for Lexi.. But I did get 200 of Luke's first year photo shoot...I still see that you are cruising around my site:) Give your a littel punkin a hug from Piedmont:)
11/13/2009 12:18:22 PM - 002067758981
Kyleigh is soooooo cute!! Pretty in orange. Hope she's feeling better.
11/13/2009 1:02:57 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa!! Too fun that you & Julie will meet in Houston!! Way fun. If I ever fly into Texas, I'll let you know so we can do a photo-op too!! Is Kyleigh still sick? I'm so sorry. I feel like I'm behind - are you going to Hawaii?? SUPER FUN Lisa!!
I just wanted to pop in quick. The GG C is hot lately as we are bumping people off, or I am!! LOL
Talk to u soon. I feel we talk every day via email but its nice to visit your site. I so love your Party pics - you should do a book too!! I LOVE LOVE the cardboard cut-out. I couldn't picture what you were talking about, obviously!! I do hope we get the chance again - it's such a great opportunity!
11/11/2009 11:32:48 PM - 002058326073
And Kyleigh looks like her grandma in those shots in the marquee section. No denying her that is for sure.
11/11/2009 11:31:10 PM - 002058326073
By the way, I love the door decorations. Wish I could find something like that around here.
11/11/2009 11:26:52 PM - 002058326073
Hi Stranger,
Sorry I haven't got to check in lately. I know it has been awhile. Life has been crazy. Work has picked up, Dillon got his license (I need nerve pills LOL) and I have been working on getting the new baseball site designed, not Shutterfly but the other one. Just wanted to drop by and say HI and tell you the pictures of Kyleigh are PRECIOUS. I just love them.
Michele

Lisa, In honor of Veterans Day here is a quote for you.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them. ~John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Have a good day my friend.
11/11/2009 6:38:12 AM - 002066991916
Hi Lisa- I just stop by just to say that I am doing fine! You are very sweet of you to think of me all the time. I just came back from the trip after five days vacation in Yosemite National Park. I posted some of the photos that I took from Yosemite. When you get a chance you are very welcome to visit my site. See yaaahh around Sfly.

I hope little Kyleigh is doing better today. Did you take her to the doctor or was she feeling better? Watch the little punkin...This flu can act crazy! Take care and God bless!
11/11/2009 12:07:03 AM - 002035648808
Thanks so much for the message. I just opened up my email and the first one I read was yours. I thought has Lisa gone crazy. What in the world does she mean by feautred and low and behold underneath your email was one from Rachel. I don't know what it means to be featured but I think I like it. It was so special hearing from you first:)
11/10/2009 2:56:07 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Sorry to hear that Kyleigh is not feeling well. I hope she'll be feeling better in no time. See if the doctor can give you some meds to make her feel better.
I'm working on my book and yes it will be from my cruise. Thanks again for thinking of me.
The Hawaii cruise is going to be a blast!!! Now you'll need a countdown clock. I'm so excited for you. Is Randy coming too? What ship are you sailing on? In the spring I too will look around for a 2011 cruise. Alaska can be your next goal.
The Bat Mizthav was very nice. The ceremony was about 2 hours and then we went to celebrate with a D.J. and food and lots of fun. There were about 150 people. This was my first bat Mitzvah. Pretty cool.
We are having great weather for a November day we were in the 60's yesterday and today another nice day. As for Thanksgiving we are going to my mom's house. She also invited Joe's uncle who is not married and lives alone and also a neighbor from the block who's family has passed away or lives far away. he too is in his 60's and never married. So they won't be alone my Mom invited them. Plus my brother will be there..he lives with my mom anyway.
What are your plans? Are you going to visit your family Mom & Dad and your siblings? Is Kyleigh going too?
I hope she is feeling better by the time I visit here again. take care.
11/10/2009 4:59:33 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
SORRY I WAS BUMPING YOU ON RHONDA'S SITE! I BURST OUT LAUGHING WHEN I WENT BACK 2 THE HOME PAGE AND SEEN THAT! LOL!!! IT USUALLY HAPPENS 2 ME WHEN I'M MAKING A SUPER LONG COMMENT ON SOMEONES SITE! LOL!!!
OH, I HOPE KYLEIGHS FEVER GOES AWAY SOON! POOR BABY! SO SAD WHEN THEY ARE LITTLE AND SICK! HOPE YOUR LIL PUNKIN GETS WELL SOON! :)
11/10/2009 4:54:51 AM - 002035648808
Poor LIttle Kyleigh..I am so sorry to hear the little punkin is sick... How horrible that her birthday had to be cancelled. Maybe she will be better by next wknd. I hope and pray that she doesn't have the H1N1 flu. Watch her close Gigi...I know you will, but this flu scares me to death with the little ones. It acts really strange this flu..You think the little ones are better and then the next day they get really sick again..I hear about this over and over from friends who have sick grandkids. This happened to Luke too..Thank goodness he recovered without any complications..Thanks to everyones prayers..I will keep Little Kyleigh in my prayers and add her to our church prayer chain:) Take care of the little darling and please keep me posted about her condition! Now go give that little punkin a kiss on the forehead:)
11/10/2009 4:48:42 AM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...I left you some comments on my page and then I decided to jump over here to leave some comments here. Tell Rider thanks...I wrote a comment on Janna's page to Rider telling him that if him and his Jana doesn't work out that maybe we could introduce him and my Janna on Shutterfly! Just kidding Rider:) You will be amazed when I get Jeff's page done one of these days. Him and Rider are so much alike that it is scary. Same outfits, facial hair at Rider's age, same Billabong sock hats, etc. It is remarkable. Thanks for all the sweet comments..Now I will have to rush back to my site get on Janna's page and erase the comment about Rider or I could be toast! LOL! I should leave it there to see how long it takes her to notice it:)
11/9/2009 11:23:02 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I LOVE THE SAY CHEESE HEADERS OF YOUR LIL PUNKIN! :)
I JUST ADDED SOME OF MY SHUTTERFLY PARTY PHOTOS ON MY CELEBRATIONS PAGE!
HAVE A GOODNIGHT! :)
11/9/2009 10:02:20 PM - 001059933021
You have so many awesome photographs on your site, but best of all, I love Kyleigh's photos (top photos) at her very cutest!
Thank you again for the kind words you said about my family! Thank you and have a nice day!
11/8/2009 5:36:20 PM - 000074469281
I love the header of Kyleigh. How ADORABLE is she!! I missed her bday....when was it? Happy happy birthday to Miss Kyleigh!!
11/8/2009 3:57:43 PM - 001023411097
LOVE THE HEADER AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLEIGH! She has really started growing up and I know you don't want to hear that. She is so cute and of course you always capture the cute faces of Kyleigh! I must look around and see what yu saw at the Christmas Store. Hugs BarbaraJ
11/7/2009 11:45:05 PM - 002035648808
Happy Birthday Kyleigh! Cute, cute pictures of your little darling!
11/7/2009 4:28:15 PM - 001003494861
Hi Lisa, I know it hasnt' been THAT long since I've been to the site, but Kyleigh looks like she's grown a foot or two since the last time I've seen her pics. The Longhorn photos are great! Wow, does she have personality! Your Pumpkin Patch book is a treasure. I'll forward it to my daughter, Avalon LOVES the Pumpkin Patch. Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your kind comments. (I am so far behind on editing I'll never catch up)
11/7/2009 4:14:36 PM - 000031826072
Kyleigh's birthday photos are so beautiful...she's more of a little stunner every single day. Sweet little punkin! She is looking soooo grown-up lately, tho! yikes!
11/7/2009 1:33:44 PM - 000078500249
Lisa, I simply love the pumpkin patch photo album! Kids are such fun when exploring! You have beautiful photos. I suppose I had better take that photography class I've put off for way too long!
11/7/2009 6:53:28 AM - 002066991916
Hi Lisa- I am fine! I am on my vacation with David here in Yosemite National Park and we are going to stay till November 10. I love Kyleigh Birthday photos. She looks so adorable. I know it is too late to say: Belated Happy Birthday to her. Great shot!
11/7/2009 3:54:51 AM - 002020640084

Happy birthday Kyliegh... I love her hair cut...Looks like the one Trinity gave herself
11/7/2009 3:04:41 AM - 000093706714
Happy Birthday Kyliegh! (Does she know she has an entire fan base out in the SF community???) Enjoy her visit and hope the weather at the zoo is MAR-VE-LOUS! Missing you...........
11/7/2009 2:06:22 AM - 000076820331
A blessing from above she is indeed! Not to mention she is as cute as a button! Thanks for stopping by my site. I love texting with you so I understand you can't do both constant! LOL. I got my surprise from Starla and I love it! What a sweetie! You girls are so good to me. I am blessed! Hope you don't get burried by all the hunting stuff!! I'll be checking in on you!
11/6/2009 11:21:15 PM - 002055694880
Hey there H. I know that you are coming to visit on the 14 i got the text. I am really glad. Thanks for stopping by my site!!!!! I like the changes and plan to continue to upload more photos! WOO HOO!
11/6/2009 3:08:13 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Just wanted to stop by before I head on out. Glad you liked the quotes i've been sharing. And love that new header. Sending all my best wishes for a great Birthday to Kyleigh and enjoy the zoo.. Have a great weekend.
11/6/2009 1:53:12 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I love the new header! Kyleigh looks so grown up! I didn't realize she wasn't two yet. I enjoy texting with you although I feel like I neglect leaving comments here for you. :) I am so glad you enjoyed your package from Illinois! It was fun to get together and send. Glad you like dthe pin. I bought it when I did the race in Chicago and just didn't get it sent right away. :( Sorry to hear that Boo at the Zoo didn't work out. You'll go next year. Gonna take a look for some Halloween pics. Thanks so much fro being such a great friend to me!
11/5/2009 8:46:22 PM - 002035648808
Oh my, the headers of Kyleigh are too dang cute. You have such a little poser in your Kyleigh. I bet it makes her Gigi so proud. Her and Luke would be quite a pair:) I am in to stealing favorite songs from my buddies sites. Don't be suprised if you hear something on your site on my site:)
11/5/2009 2:49:56 PM - 002055694880
Hey there H! I love the Kyleigh headers! I know a little girl that has a birthday coming up and it sure would help aunt Starla if she knew what Kyleigh wwanted or needed!!! Is she into books or is she into music ......what stage is she in right now?? Let me know before I head that way on Saturday. I am thinking about taking off of work tomorrow so I may do some shopping!! Let me know k!
11/5/2009 12:45:25 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, LOVE the new header with Kyleigh. Just beautiful. So adorable with her fall colors.
11/5/2009 6:35:40 AM - 002065887734
Just looked again. All the photos are darling. I had a teacher who made that first face whenever she was deciding if she liked your work or not. (or my mom, not grandma, deciding if my skirt was too short in the late 60's...Twiggy and all. Guess you can guess I'm in my 50's for sure now.)
11/5/2009 6:32:27 AM - 002065887734
Thanks for letting me know it was a 'jaw thing'. I knew you'd give her some candy corn or something if she was really crying. Those photos belong in the allstar photo site...wherever that may be! Love the new header. She is just photo candy for the rest of us. She attracts the camera, so she'll have lots and lots to look at when shes older. What a sweetie pie.
11/5/2009 3:18:10 AM - 002025703401
I really do like Kyleigh's new hair cut! :)
11/5/2009 1:35:33 AM - 002029331419
Love the new headers of Kyleigh!! Cute! CUTE! Cute!!!! Li'l Punkin almost 2 !! wow!!
11/3/2009 9:56:02 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Hope your day has gone well and you are catching up at work, home and S/F too. I have left you several quotes today. Hope you like them.
11/3/2009 7:06:39 PM - 001024320926
Thanks Barbara, she was having so much fun with that pumpkin top. She wasn't crying in the last photo, she was doing that thing you know when you eat something sour and your jaw tings, that's what she was doing :) She had me rolling on the porch :)
11/3/2009 3:48:00 AM - 002065887734
Back again. I can't even feel sorry for the last photo of Kyleigh crying. I usually do NOT like to see children crying. She is so cute in the whole set of photos, I just enjoy the scene. Told my mom about it today & I got a grin!!! Thank you for that! Know you're busy, so I have a question or two, when you have time. Know you're catching up right now.
11/2/2009 3:43:41 PM - 002065887734
I still absolutely love the 'Kyleigh' tastes the pumpkin! It's one of my favorite continuing secne photos EVER! Bet she had a ball for Halloween! Lisa, my girl, was a lot like Kyleigh. I just wasn't creative enough to do fun, fun shots...way back in 'the olden days' we sort or just pointed and shot. p.s. your i.d. photo is new isn't it? Anyway, I like it.
11/2/2009 3:08:52 AM - 000074469281
Hey i noticed that the filmstrips above are gone, whatcha doing??
11/2/2009 3:07:28 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa, hope you had a fun Halloween. Was Kyleigh with you?
I like your new picture. i like seeing your big smile!!!

That header of Kyleigh is so adorable...love the 'tude displayed in the far right pic. So funny. Makes me smile! Sometimes I miss Jordan at that age and sometimes I'm glad she's not there anymore!!!!!Anyway, I can't wait to see all the San Fran pics. I love that place - went there a few years ago to visit a girlfriend and we had such a blast.
The whole family is getting very excited about our Jamaica trip...it's been a long time since I've been on a tropical vaca and this will be our first family trip as a blended family. I'm really looking forward to it.
Happy Halloween!!!!!!
10/30/2009 1:50:13 AM - 000074469281

THAT WAS SO CUTE THAT YOU SAID IN YOUR COMMENT FOR MASON'S HALLOWEEN BOOK I POSTED THAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT HIM IN SF BECAUSE THEY HAD A MASON'S CAFE! TOO CUTE!!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR CHECKING OUT MY BOOK AND LEAVING SUCH A PRECIOUS COMMENT! IT TICKLED ME PINK! :)
DID YOU GET YOUR SHUTTERFLY PARTY PACK? I GOT MINE TODAY AND I WAS SO EXCITED!!! ON MONDAY I MAILED OUT LETTERS EXPLAINING ABOUT THE PARTY THAT THERE ISN'T ANYTHING TO PURCHASE.... YOU GET FREE STUFF.... NO STRINGS ATTACHED! I WAS SO WORRIED BECAUSE I ONLY HEARD FROM MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND SUSAN AND NO ONE ELSE RSVPed! SUSAN RSVPED YES BUT FORGOT SHE GETTING HER CARPETS INSTALLED! SHE LIVES AN HOUR AWAY! UP UNTIL 2 HOURS AGO I STILL DIDN'T HAVE ANYONE YET!!! NOW MY COUSIN STEPHANIE RSVPed THAT SHE CAN COME AND MY SISTER IN LAW CALLED AND SAID SHE CAN COME! HOPEFULLY NO ONE WILL GET SICK! I STILL HOPE MORE PEOPLE CAN COME! I DID HEAR FROM MY 1 FRIEND TODAY AS WELL AND SHE'S CHECKING HER SCHEDULE AND MIGHT BE ABLE TO COME! EVERYONE SAID THEY DON'T EVER LOOK AT THEIR EMAILS! EXACTLY WHAT I FEARED WOULD HAPPEN! I SHOULD HAVE SENT THE EXPLANATION THE SAME DAY I EMAILED EVERYONE 10 DAYS AGO! THERE IS STILL HOPE FOR MORE GUESTS TO COME! I JUST WISH I KNEW IF THEY COULD NOT COME OR WEREN'T INTERESTED SO I COULD INVITE MORE PEOPLE! I WANT TO SHARE THE WEALTH AND GOODIES! LOL!!! I DON'T WANT THEM TO GO TO WASTE! I HAVE 2 OUT OF TOWN COUSINS WHO INTRODUCED ME TO SHUTTERFLY AND I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE THEM EACH CODES SO THEY DON'T GO TO WASTE! IT WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW NOW SO I COULD GIVE THEM THE CODES AND THEY COULD WORK ON THE BOOKS NOW! WELL THE 1 SISTER MAKES THE BOOKS AND I COULD TELL HER TO QUICKLY SHOW HER SISTER AND THEY COULD BOTH MAKE A BOOK EACH INSTEAD OF THE CODES GOING TO WASTE! I HAVE LOCAL COUSINS, FRIENDS, & NEIGHBORS THAT I STILL WOULD LIKE TO INVITE BUT LIKE I SAID I DON'T KNOW WHO IS COMING YET BESIDES MY COUSIN STEPHANIE & MY SISTER IN LAW ANGELA! I TOLD MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND THAT I CAN MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO SHOW HER AND HER DAUGHTER IN LAW BETH IF THEY CAN'T MAKE IT! I INVITED MY DAD BUT HE NEVER RSVP OR MENTIONED ANYTHING AND I ASKED MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND SUSAN AND SHE SAID HE WOULD BE GOING OUT OF TOWN THAT WEEKEND! I PLAN ON SHOWING HIM AS WELL STILL! THAT MEANS I HAVE 5 CODES TAKEN! NOW I JUST NEED TO HEAR FROM THE OTHER 9 PEOPLE!
HAVE YOU HEARD FROM ALOT OF PEOPLE? ARE THEY CONFUSED OR THINK ITS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE AND CAUTIOUS ABOUT IT? DID ANYONE OF THEM EVER HEAR OF HOUSEPARTY? I HAVEN'T AND NO ONE I TALKED TO EVER HEARD OF IT!
YOU MUST BE SO TIRED FROM YOUR TRIP! GET SOME REST! I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PHOTOS! :)

10/27/2009 5:18:14 AM - 002065887734
I keep coming back to see that last photo of Kyleigh tasting the pumpkin. She might be crying from as much disappointment as the taste. It looks so delicious!!! That whole series of photos with the pumpkin top is too precious to be believed.
10/27/2009 1:55:00 AM - 001038348079

Lisa, LOVE your header! I'm taking it that she didn't like the taste of pumpkin. :( Does she eat candy corn yet? :) She is just such a cutie! I love the cheer outfit.

Lisa, Glad to hear Nick's birthday went well. Friday was nasty here and the weather was horrible. So we ordered in and didn't go out to dinner. We will celebrate a week late. But she did love the gift Victoria gave her. tickets to see Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig on Broadway. they LOVED IT!!! The play was excellent and enjoyed them, and Stephanie got Jackman's and Craig's signature. that is so cool.
Hope your day is going well my friend. take care Lisa.

Wow! What wonderful pics!!! That festival looks like so much fun! Did y'all go up in a balloon? I've always wanted to do that. How was it?! :)
10/19/2009 4:03:58 PM - 000078500249
Lisa,
I love your site! You have such "fun" pictures. Kaleigh looks like she had a blast at the pumpkin patch! I love your pictures of your trip to New Mexico. I had my trip to NM in August. I still haven't made it to a balloon fest yet, but after seeing your pictures, it is now definitely on my list for next year! Have a great week!
10/19/2009 5:56:10 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED THE PUMPKIN PATCH PHOTO I PUT UP ON FACEBOOK TODAY! I HAD SO MUCH FUN I DRAGGED MY HUSBAND THERE TODAY! LOL!! HOPEFULLY I CAN ADD THEM TO MY SITE THIS WEEK! I ADDED SOME OF OUR FALL CAMPING ONES FROM LAST WEEKS CAMPING TRIP TO OHIO! I JUST CHECKED OUT RHONDA'S PUMPKIN PATCH ALBUM AND I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!! TOO CUTE! HAVE A HAPPY DAY! :)
10/19/2009 2:06:15 AM - 002035648808
Howdy from Piedmont.....I really appreciate your sweet messages while I was away. Thank goodness my hubby has recovered and is doing well, in spite of my absence during his illness. Men can survive if they have to without us nursning them:) LOL! I absolutely love your changes on this page. It looks like you guys had a spectacular time. Your talent inspires and amazes me. I got home last night at around 5:00 p.m. and was up to 2:00 a.m. working on Little Luke's album. I am having a blast learning how to do the digital scrapbooking thing. Janna was home for the week-end and was actually impressed with what I have done so far. I have had to make some adjustments to the pages because alot of them don't want to fit on what shutterfly has to offer on page layouts. I am slowly figuring it out. Thanks for your input. I'll have to e-mail my changes and additions to the book. I figure I'll barely get it done and ordered in time for Christmas. I had to laugh at my self the other day. I just figured out that I am not ordering any of my photo books that I make for myself. All I have in the house is the one that I made Janna! LOL! I can't wait until I can meet all of you guys. It looks like you all like to have a good time. I love to laugh and cut up. Well, I am going to sign off and look around your amazing site some more. Have a great week:)
10/17/2009 6:32:40 AM - 001038348079

Missing you all.........until next visit

Thanks for the comment on Luke's pictures. I can tell you enjoy Kyleigh as much as I enjoy my grandsons. I am so thrilled to be a part of their lives. It is so much easier being granny than mommy!

Yes, #48 - no doubt the Champion AGAIN. Ok, I'm done bragging for today. Hope your day is going great, chick! Thanks for the promo congrats for Jordan - she's excited - you would think she got voted President...so cute.
10/12/2009 6:02:43 PM - 002064713216

10/11/2009 11:27:43 PM - 000076820331
I am looking at this page for the third time since you've posted. It's just breath taking and so full of FUN! LOVE IT!
10/11/2009 3:31:44 PM - 001023411097
Lisa I love you new Picture! I glad it has your name by it!!! Where is that pretty smile?
10/10/2009 9:58:36 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, There is so much fun on this page! The color of the balloons! Some of those scarecrows I think I recognize! Funny Faces - crack me up! You never cease to amaze and inspire me!
10/10/2009 2:10:07 PM - 002059624475
Ok, I'm browsing. I love the picture of you, Jamie & Jean with the scarecrow dolls - too cute!! Jean has talked about how much fun you all had. I'm so glad you all got to make this happen and I know Jean had a great time driving around, seeing 66, eating good treats, etc., etc. Now I'm off to read the "novel" everyone says you wrote about your weekend - just teasing ;-)
10/10/2009 5:39:36 AM - 002066991916
So wonderful photos that you took from Albuquerque! I trully enjoy watching all the balloons on this page. Especially your photos with Jean, Jamie and her Mom are absolutely beautiful.
10/10/2009 3:22:36 AM - 000074469281
LOVE LOVE the Route 66 pictures. That is such a cute little diner. I see you got a photo of Elvis and the jute-box! I am so happy you got one of the sundaes (sp?) and that bananna split! HOLY COW! They should have asked you all to share w/ them. Looks like there was more whipped cream than anything else. YUM! What a fun time. Was that giirl embarassed you were taking photos or was she just in awe at how big it was. I wonder if they ate it all! Good thing they ordered one. Loved these pictures. I'll have to stop back and look at more!!
10/10/2009 1:01:16 AM - 000031826072
Fabulous!!!!!!!!!! The Route 66 signs are a scream and I adore the airport ambush pictures. Of course, the Balloon pics are totally marvelous. You all look so cute holding the little scarecrows.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for the colorful postcard and the awesome fridge magnet. You are incredibly sweet and thoughtful.
I've missed you and are glad you are back from the big adventure. Fun, fun, fun. I soooo approve of good girl fun! The only thing that I almost forgot about from years ago when I went to the Balloon Fiesta........getting up at 4 amish....UGH!!!!!! That part kills me, being Ms. Non-Morning person. I salute you ladies. I'm so delighted to hear that you had such a smashign time.
10/9/2009 6:18:07 PM - 001023411097
LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!! Great shots and what fun. Love Route 66 and the Indians, and I love our shutterfly pals more....
10/9/2009 5:32:03 PM - 000096883315
Sometimes, I think we should offer popcorn to go along with our albums. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed every one of them. I especially liked the outdoor sculptures at the museum. The settings fit them perfectly.
10/9/2009 4:33:39 AM - 002020640084
LISA,

At least I have a birthday party this weekend for Luke, he is going to be 2, so that will keep me happy til fall really comes and I get to take fall and Halloween pictues. I'll be checking in looking for balloons.
10/7/2009 11:01:44 AM - 002020640084

10/6/2009 4:21:39 PM - 002035648808
Hi Lisa...Thanks for adding the pictures to my Holiday page. They are great. I appreciate all the support you give on your sweet comments:) I would love to hook up with some of the shutterfly girls and take a trip sometime. I love trips and traveling:) The colors here started to turn just yesterday after a brief cold-snap that we just had. I must get out and get some pics for my page:O I hope to get some good foliage shots on the way to Florida in the Chattanooga, TN area and again on the way back from Florida. I booked us to stay overnight in Chattanooga on the way back just so that I would have a chance to get the photos. I will probably drive my mom crazy with having to stop, jump out, and get a picture. My husband won't usually stop, but I will be driving my mom and she will have no choice since I am behind the wheel:) lol!
10/4/2009 10:26:12 PM - 001023411097
I can't type much on this new puter. So I will make this short. I can't wait to see your pics. I love to come back every day and see your autum fun page.
10/4/2009 4:22:52 PM - 002035648808
Wow Lisa... I can't believe that you are getting to go to the hot air balloon festival. I hope you had a blast. I have been busy getting ready for company on Sat. the 3rd. I had to be out of town for work 3 days. So needless to say, I didn't get my shutterfly fix and had no idea what everyone has been up too:) It is neat that you are getting to meet shutterfly pals. Have you ever met these ladies before or is this your first time? Jeff, Mary, Luke and Mary's parents, Luke's other set of proud grandparents came to visit yesterday. This is the first time that Mary's parents have been to our neck of the woods. They live in the city and were quite surprised I think of how we are basically in the middle of no-where. Dan, Mary's father, got a big kick out of catching a 25 lb. catfish out of our back pond. He had never even been fishing until Jeff came into their lives 2 1/2 years ago. The biggest fish he ever had caught up until yesterday was a small crappie. I will be posting some pics of the event soon. I am getting ready to take my mom to Florida for a girls only vacation this coming Thursday. Hope to get some more Florida shots and some fall colors on the drive from MO to FL. Have a fabulous week! Love the updates to your site. I am still looking around, but I thought I would leave you a note before I became to involved:)
10/3/2009 1:23:45 AM - 002020640084

Lisa, I'm glad you are back. I know it was a tough weekend. Funerals are never 'fun'. I hope you hear Aunt Katherine's laughter whereever you go. I often times here my Uncle's. Or when he would come in the door he'd say 'There's Joooooooeeeeeeeey'. He had an infectious smile too. I agree, the Sfly community support is overwhelming!
Thank you so much for your kind words regarding my Cancer Walk. I still get emotional when I think I did this! It was quite moving! Cancer sucks!
Talk to u soon.
9/28/2009 1:54:46 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It sounds like she was a wonderful lady. I seems you have some wonderful memories of her also. May the memory of her laugh echo in your mind on the days you miss her most!
9/27/2009 2:40:38 PM - 001030486501
I haven't been around in a while...but I wanted to let you know I am very sorry about your Aunt. Thinking of you and your family.
Andrea
9/27/2009 12:53:30 PM - 001063913611
LIsa, my thoughts and prayers are with you in this sad time.
9/26/2009 3:30:08 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
JUST WANTED TO SAY I'M THINKING OF YOU! HOPE YOUR SURROUNDED BY EVERYONE YOU LOVE IN THIS DIFFICULT TIME! TAKE CARE!
9/25/2009 4:02:05 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
Many thanks for stopping by recently and am very sorry to hear about your aunt. Wonderful to see the photographs of her.
Barry
9/25/2009 6:34:30 AM - 002066991916
Lisa I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt Katherine. I know it is very hard to lose someone who we really love and close to our heart. My prayers be with you and your family. God bless you!
9/25/2009 5:57:30 AM - 002035648808
Lisa, I am so sorry to hear about your Aunt Katherine. I love the pictures that you were able to get on your last visit. You will cherish those forever. I lost my dad five years when he was 72. It is still hard to think that you cannot just drop by and say hey! My prayers and thoughts will be with you and your family during this difficult time. Also, thanks so much for your help with Little Luke's book. I have already done some editing and I like the results:)
9/24/2009 7:17:42 PM - 000074469281
Lisa my dear, I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Katherine. I'm glad you displayed a film strip of your last visit with her. I can hear the laughter coming off the pictures. Her garden looks lovely. It is so hard to lose someone we care deeply about. She is now free of pain and suffering. Its kind of odd how we were talking about funerals yesterday.
Hang in there!
xo
9/24/2009 6:41:45 PM - 002017307623
Lisa, I was stopping into say hello today and to apologize for being MIA the last few weeks, but now I want to offer my thoughts and prayers for you loss. I know she will be missed!
9/24/2009 5:09:28 PM - 002059624475
Lisa, my deepest sympathy. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers today. Sounds like she was wonderful!!
9/24/2009 4:57:03 PM - 001043414385
Lisa, hate to hear of your loss, she sounds like a wonderful lady. I will be thinking of you! Take care. Love all the changes to your site since I have been here!
9/24/2009 3:08:11 PM - 002029331419
Lisa Lady...sent you an email - but you know I'm thinking of you and your family!
9/24/2009 2:38:01 PM - 002020640084

I HOPE LOOKING AT PICTURES BRINGS YOU SO MANY FOND MEMORIES WHEN YOU ARE SAD AND MISS YOUR AUNT! YOUR MOM MUST BE SO HEARTBROKEN TO LOSE HER ONLY SISTER! YOUR MOM'S LUCKY TO HAVE YOU, YOUR SIBLINGS, HER GRANDCHILDREN, AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN TO GIVE HER THE SUPPORT SHE NEEDS RIGHT NOW! TAKE CARE LISA, I'LL BE THINKING OF YOU!
9/24/2009 2:05:15 AM - 002020640084
LISA,

I'M JUST CHECKING OUT THE BUFFALO ZOO MEMBERSHIP AGAIN AND I LOOKED AT THE FORT WORTH ZOO AND I DON'T THINK YOUR ZOO MEMBERSHIPS LET YOU VISIT OTHER SELECTED ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS FOR FREE OR 50% OFF! OUR ZOO USED TO HAVE OVER 100 SELECTED ZOOS AND AQUARIUMS THAT YOU COULD GO TO FOR FREE IF YOU SHOWED YOUR BUFFALO ZOO PASS! NOW ABOUT 15 OF THEM YOU GET 50% OFF AND THE REST ARE FREE! ITS SO COOL! YOUR ZOO IN FORT WORTH MEMBERSHIPS YOU GET FREE PARKING EVERYTIME AND OURS DOESN'T DO THAT! IT SAYS YOUR PASS IS PAID FOR IN JUST 4 VISITS! IF ITS CLOSE TO YOU LIKE OURS IS ITS STILL A GREAT DEAL! OUR ZOO IS ONLY 15 MINUTES AWAY! I THINK IF IT WAS UP TO MASON HE WOULD WANT TO LIVE THERE! LOL!!!

Hey Lisa! Just popping in to say hi! It was 85 today!! I haven't ran my air as much as I have all week as this summer! Crazy weather. Is it still hot HOT in Texas? When is your NM trip? Don't forget to take pictures.
Abby had a soccer game this afternoon and its so cute how those little girls run and kick the ball. Abby is really good - I'm a proud Aunt!! And of course I took photos!!! Then i went out to lunch w/ my parents and had a burrito -it was the 'little' size. I should have taken a picture. It was HUGE! I'm still full. i just had ice-cream for supper - wasn't hungry for much else. Ice-cream is good for supper, isn't it!
Have a good week. :)
9/19/2009 9:39:39 PM - 001056488359
Hi Lisa!!, Thank you so much for visiting my site and the wonderful comment about my pictures. I love your sunflower pictures. Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers! Enjoy your weekend!

LISA,
WE WENT TO THE DOCTORS LAST NIGHT TO SEE IF JOE DIDN'T HAVE STREP THROAT BUT HE DIDN'T THANK GOD! HE'S STILL NOT FEELING GREAT SO HOPEFULLY TOMORROW HE WILL FEEL BETTER! WE ARE LEAVING IN 3 HOURS AND I'M TAKING A QUICK BREAK! EVEN THOUGH I UPLOAD PHOTOS TO SHUTTERFLY I STILL WANT BACK UP AND PICK MY FAVORITES AND HAVE THEM PUT ON A CD AT TARGET! I JUST GOT THE CD'S AND HAD TO QUICKLY CHECK THEM SO I COULD CLEAR MY MEMORY CARD! I WISH WE COULD STAY LONGER! DID I TELL YOU THAT WE DIDN'T FIND OUT UNTIL THE OTHER DAY THAT THE ONE FRIEND WHO SAID HE COULD GO HAS TO BE BACK SUNDAY BY 3 BECAUSE HE HAS BILLS TICKETS! IT TAKES 3 HOURS TO GET HOME SO NOW WE HAVE TO LEAVE BY 11:30 AND I PAID FOR LATE CHECK OUT FOR BOTH CABINS SO WE DIDN'T HAVE TO CHECK OUT EARLY! NOW THAT WAS A WASTE OF MONEY AND NOW ITS LIKE WE REALLY ONLY HAVE SATURDAY!
ANYWAYS, ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND! :)
9/18/2009 1:22:40 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Happy Friday!
Didn't have much time yesterday to make my visits on the sites. Went for my haircut and a few errands. Thanks for stopping by. Glad you picked a team did you also pick a second team besides Eric & Lisa? I think you will like the show it goes to so many countries and you see the beauty and sometimes the poor conditions that people have to live in. That is sad.
Yep, Mom is still heartbroken over my dad and it has been a year and a half. I try to do my best to cheer her up. She is also going through a phase that even photos make her cry. I hope as time goes bu she will learn to let go just a bit.
Yes Stephanie and Stefan sent in a tape to the Amazing race that 2nd season but then just did not try again. Maybe someday. Does your sister Stephanie live near Starla?
Since you still have rain is it affecting your internet service? Yesterday it was dreary and cloudy until the afternoon. We hit only 69°F and I could feel the chill. Weathermen say it will warm up a bit in the coming days. We'll see if the get it right.
I'll try to stop by later, and find a quote too. In the meantime enjoy your day.
9/18/2009 2:54:48 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa! How's Patrick's interview?? I'm still trying tio find the time to make my home page like yours. Or at least try. Does your sister have a site? I was on Jean or Rhonda's and i thought i saw you said that?
Have a good night and catch u later.
9/18/2009 1:13:48 AM - 002064737240
Hi Lisa, Thanks again for taking the time to look at my site, and share with everyone. It turns out the only thing I like better than taking pics, is knowing that others can and are enjoying them as much as I do. Now I also have a better idea of how to upgrade my site, so thank you, thank you, thank you.
9/17/2009 6:24:11 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I FORGOT TO TELL YOU I SENT YOU A CARD IN THE MAIL! IT SHOULD BE THERE TODAY! MY HUSBAND RAN TO THE STORE LAST WEEK AND WAS SUPPOSE TO SEND IT BUT FORGOT ALL ABOUT IT! I DISCOVERED IT DAYS LATER! I THINK WE MAILED IT ON MONDAY! YOU SHOULD GET IT TODAY OR TOMORROW!
MY GARDEN BOOK CAME IN AND ITS SO BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE IT! :)
HOPE YOUR HAVING A GOOD DAY!
WE LEAVE TOMORROW FOR CAMPING! JOE GOT SICK YESTERDAY AND DIDN'T GO TO SCHOOL TODAY! HOPING HE WILL BE BETTER BY TOMORROW! I WILL TRY TO COME BACK TONIGHT IF NOT HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND! HOPE ITS NOT TOO HOT FOR YOU! DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS?
HOPING TO GET TONS OF COOL PHOTOS FROM OUR LITTLE CAMPING ADVENTURE! :)
9/17/2009 1:23:03 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thanks for your comments regarding my journal entry for 9/11. I'm still mad and just want to get all those responsible for this terror act. Plus I am so angry when I hear on the news that there is still evil in this country plotting and the acts of evil one can bring to a fellow human being. Like the story in the news about that man arrested in Colorado who wanted to put bombs in our subway system. What I want to do to him I can't say on these sites. Sorry for the rant....it just makes me angry. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
Anyway, I hope you are doing well and I have another quote for you today. Take care..catch you later.
9/17/2009 1:54:15 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT'S IN MY HAND! THE CD OF THE JCPENNEYS PHOTO SHOOT! MY OLD BOSS SANDY CALLED ME AND SAID THE CD WAS THERE! LUCKILY THEY HAD A PHOTOSHOOT THAT RAN LATE OR I WOULD HAVE MISSED THEM BY 2 MINUTES! I'M SO RELIEVED I HAVE THE CD FINALLY! I BET IT WAS IN THE STUDIO THE ENTIRE TIME!
I'M THRILLED THAT YOU ENJOYED THAT STORY! YOU ARE SO RIGHT THAT KIND DEEDS AND KIND WORDS CAN MEAN SO MUCH TO A STRANGER! YOUR SUCH A SWEETHEART TO TEACH YOUR BOYS THOSE LESSONS IN LIFE! :)
THE ALBUM OF MASON AND HUNTER PLAYING IS MY FAVORITES FROM THAT DAY! WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FEED THE CHICKENS AND DUCKS AND THEY SPOTTED THE PILE OF DIRT! FORGET ABOUT FEEDING CHICKENS AND DUCKS WHEN THERE IS A PILE OF DIRT WAITING TO BE PLAYED IN! LOL!!! I'M SO HAPPY I CAPTURED THOSE PRICELESS MOMENTS! THAT WAS THE BEST THEY GOT ALONG WAS ON THAT DIRT PILE! HUNTER IS 4 AND GOT RIGHT TO THE TOP AND SAID, "I'M A HERO"! THEN MASON STRUGGLED TO GET UP AND HUNTER SAID, "I'LL HELP YOU, I'M A HERO!" ISN'T THAT THE CUTEST THING? THERE'S HOPE THAT THEY CAN BE FRIENDS SOMEDAY! LOL!!!
9/16/2009 4:52:59 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
BY THE WAY IF YOU GET A CHANCE THIS WEEK CHECK OUT MY LATEST JOURNAL ENTRY! WE WERE BLESSED AND SURPRISED BY AN AMAZING ACT OF KINDNESS OF STRANGERS ON MONDAY! I'M IN A HURRY OR I WOULD EXPLAIN! ITS A HEARTWARMING STORY OR DEED THAT I THINK YOU WILL ENJOY! :)
9/16/2009 4:49:38 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
GLAD YOU ENJOYED THE SAFARI PHOTOS! THE ELEPHANTS TAKING A SWIM WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE DAY! MY FAVORITE PHOTO OF THE ELEPHANTS IS THEM WALKING IN A LINE HOLDING ON TO EACH OTHERS TAILS WITH THERE TRUCKS! ISN'T THAT SO AMAZING!
YES, IT IS A PLUS THAT WE WILL HAVE MORE ROOM IN THE CARS BECAUSE YOU DO NEED SO MUCH TO CAMP! THANK GOD WE HAVE CABINS WITH BATHROOMS, KITCHENS, ETC! I KNOW ITS NOT REAL CAMPING LIKE JOE WOULD SAY! HE'S VERY UPSET WE AREN'T TENT CAMPING! OH, WELL! I'M GLAD WE DON'T HAVE TO LUG TENTS THIS CAMPING TRIP! WOO HOO!
KOHL'S HAD SOME REALLY BEAUTIFUL XMAS STUFF THIS YEAR!
HAVE A GOOD DAY! :)
9/16/2009 2:43:38 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa,
I'm glad you liked the quotes I've shared and all the amazing facts Toni has been sharing. I love reading and learning them too. Feel free to share if you know of any also. I look forward to the Mark twain quotes.
Now to about The Amazing Race. It will begin on Sunday, September 27 on CBS after the football game. It is a pair of teams with relationships. For instance it could be spouses, or a child & parent, etc. The bios are on the CBS TV website. They travel around the world and have tasks to do and there are road blocks also. You get to see the way the relationships are tested and how people cope under pressure. At the end of the leg the last team to arrive at the pit stop is eliminated and can't run anymore. This is my favorite "reality show" and it has won the EMMY award and is up for it again.
My guess is as good as yours. I am choosing from their bios who I think will make it all the way. For example one team has traveled to over 50 countries so I thought that would be a plus for them. At the end of the race the team that comes in first wins one million dollars. Along the way there are mishaps, missed clues, fights and just silly mistakes. Give it a try. I'll have to DVR the first few episodes since I will be away. I think you like the traveling part of this race/game.
9/16/2009 7:17:07 AM - 002064737240
Hi Lisa, thanks for the compliments, I am still pretty new on here, so my site will probably get more organized eventually. Feel free to link anywhere. Your site is very nice.
9/16/2009 3:28:39 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I FORGOT TO MENTION, MY HUSBAND AND I RAN SOME ERRANDS AND MY HUSBAND WAS LOST IN THE NEW CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS IN KOHL'S! THEY HAD THE COOLEST ORNAMENTS! A BUNCH REMINDED ME OF YOU! THEY HAD A TON OF TEXAS ORNAMENTS, COWBOYS, COWGIRLS, & COWBOY BOOTS! THEY WERE AWESOME! THEN THEY HAD CHICAGO, NY, THE EIFFEL TOWER, ETC. THEY WERE JUST PUTTING UP TREES WHEN WE WERE THERE AND THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL! :)
9/16/2009 3:24:49 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I LOVED THE BOOK YOU EMAILED ME I JUST DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO COMMENT ON IT YET! IT GOT FEATURED WHICH I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT BECAUSE THAT BOOK TOTALLY DESERVED IT! I LOVED THE HATS AS WELL! OH, MY GOODNESS HOW PRECIOUS WAS THAT LITTLE BUNDLE OF JOY! :)
ANYWAYS, I LOOKED AT THE WEATHER FOR THIS WEEKEND IN AURORA OHIO AND ITS GOING TO BE HIGHS OF 72-75 THE ENTIRE WEEKEND AND SUN/PARTLY CLOUDY! ITS THE PERFECT WEATHER FOR ME! I'M REALLY EXCITED!
YES, TENNESSEE WOULD BE AMAZING IN THE FALL! WE WENT CHRISTMAS WEEK AND THEN IN MAY ANOTHER YEAR! THE YEAR WE WENT IN MAY THEY HAD FLOODING AND WE LEFT EARLY! I WILL HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT STORY ANOTHER DAY! I'M GOING TO TRY TO GO TO BED BEFORE 2-3AM TONIGHT! LOL!!!
NOW I ADDED THE AFRICAN LION SAFARI PHOTOS ON MY NEW RECENT PHOTOS PAGE! THEY ARE REALLY COOL PHOTOS! THE ONES OF THE SAFARI WERE TAKEN THROUGH THE BUS WINDOWS BUT ARE PRETTY WILD ANYWAYS! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! :)
9/15/2009 6:00:12 PM - 000064583745

Love your site - so much too look at - I'll be back when I have more time!
9/15/2009 2:04:22 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Making a quick stop before I run to do my errands. Thanks for sending me the links to the gallery photo books. They were beautiful!! I really loved viewing them. Not to worry that you'll be busy @ work and can't make it to the sites. You have to do what you have to do. And I know work comes first.
Glad Miss Kyleigh was by you and be as sweet as always. So precious.
Hope you get to post photos of your latest stitching projects. I'd like to see them.
As the cruise gets closer the excitement builds. can't wait to share my photos and travel experience. Have a great day Lisa.
9/15/2009 3:04:30 AM - 002020640084
LISA,

ANY PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND?
9/15/2009 3:01:02 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
TODAY WAS SO FRUSTRATING! I RENTED 2 CABINS TO GO CAMPING ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO AND TODAY I FOUND OUT SOME OF THE JOE AND MARINA'S FRIENDS CAN'T GO! WE ARE GOING CAMPING IN JELLYSTONE IN OHIO FOR THIS WEEKEND! THE KIDS WERE BRINGING A BUNCH OF FRIENDS SO I RENTED 2 CABINS AND NOW ONLY 2 OUT OF THE 5 CAN GO! THEN I PAID FOR LATE CHECK OUT AND COME TO FIND OUT THE 1 FRIEND HAS TO BE HOME FOR THE BILLS GAME SO I PAID FOR LATE CHECK IN FOR NOTHING AND NOW WE ALL WOULD FIT IN 1 CABIN SINCE 3 PEOPLE CAN'T GO BUT ITS TOO LATE TO CANCEL THE 1 CABIN! WHEN I RENTED THEM I WANTED SEPT. 18-20 AND THEY SAID THEY WERE BOOKED! THEN I BOOKED IT FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEKEND ONLY TO FIND OUT JOE AND HIS FRIEND NICK HAD TICKETS TO THE BILLS SUNDAY AFTERNOON GAME SO I CALLED BACK RIGHT AWAY AND THEY CHANGED IT WITHOUT CHARGING ME FEES! NOW THIS WEEKEND IS STILL SCREWED UP!
THEN I GO TO PICK UP THE SENIOR PORTRAITS, CD, & XMAS CARDS AND THE CD'S MISSING! WHAT A NIGHTMARE! NOW THEY ARE REORDERING IT AND I PRAY IT COMES IN TIME! THEY SAID THIS THURSDAY! IT TOOK A HALF HOUR TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT I DESPERATELY NEED THE CD! I RENTED THE TUX AND DID ALL THAT RUNNING AROUND SO I COULD HAVE THE CD SO MY SON'S PHOTO WILL BE IN THE YEARBOOK! I WAS SO FRUSTRATED BECAUSE SANDY(MY OLD BOSS DID NOT WANT TO LOOK FOR IT) SHE WAS LIKE OH, IT WILL COME IN MAYBE IN THE NEXT DELIVERY! I TOLD HER I NEED IT FOR THE SENIOR PICTURES THATS THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT IT! THEN SHE SAYS JUST GIVE THE SCHOOL A PICTURE THAT WILL BE FINE! I SAID I BOUGHT THE CD SO I CAN HAVE THEM RETOUCHED SINCE JCPENNEYS DOESN'T DO IT! THEN I SAID I ONLY BOUGHT B/W & SEPIA AND I DIDN'T ORDER COLOR OR CLOSE UPS! AFTER 30 MINUTES SHE FINALLY CALLS THE COMPANY AND THEY ARE SENDING IT BY THURSDAY! I GUARANTEE IT AT THE STUDIO SHE WAS TOO LAZY TO LOOK! ITS A 45 MINUTE DRIVE SO ITS A ROYAL PAIN IN THE BUTT TO KEEP RUNNING THERE TO SEE IF IT CAME IN!
ANYWAYS, HAVE A GOODNIGHT! :)
9/15/2009 1:49:29 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa,
I'm not doing very well w/ Fall decor. I think i need to take Joanne's advice and take photos in stores of displays!!! It is a cool idea. I really like your header. I do like fall, but am just not ready for it. I went to the lakes Sunday to help my dad pack things up, take bedding off, etc. Its kind of sad even though I didn't get afamily pic. Still grumbling about that and if anyone of them jokes about 'hey where's the family picture'! I'll kick em where the sun don't shine!!
My mom is the worst about pictures but come on - I just wanted ONE. Poopers! It was so beautiful at lakes Sunday - lake was crystal clear!! Perfect day!
I like that photo Toni added to your map.
Isn't that sad about Patrick Swayze? So sad. He had an awful cancer. None are 'good'.
Slowly making my rounds visiting and its going slow!!
Hope u have been well. Talk to u soon.
9/14/2009 10:42:57 PM - 000085599530
I cant believe how big your "little Pumpkin" has gotten ...after seeing the Pumpkin patch book again ... wow
9/14/2009 6:42:55 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU LOVED THE POSTCARDS! IT WAS A THRILL TO SEE THEM POSTED ON YOU POSTCARD PAGE! I LEFT YOU COMMENTS OVER THERE! :)
I ALSO LOVED THAT KYLEIGH SAID, "YOU OK?" WHEN YOU COUGHED LAST NIGHT! WHAT A LITTLE SWEETHEART! I LEFT A COMMENT ON KYLEIGHS PAGE! :)
THAT STINKS THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE INTERNET ALL WEEKEND FROM THE RAIN! OURS ACTS UP WHEN WE HAVE RAIN OR SNOW! ITS SO FRUSTRATING!
HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR WEEKEND!
9/14/2009 5:38:34 PM - 002010581426
Lisa,
Just starting to Shutterfly around a few moments at a time and wanted to say, I love your fall pictures.....you didn't take those this year did you? Our leaves are just starting to turn...will be back!
Vicki ~ AngelView

POOR LITTLE HONEY HAD A STYE IN HIS EYE THAT LOOKED SO PAINFUL BUT YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW HE RAN NONSTOP ALL DAY! THIS WAS THE 1ST TIME WE HAD WENT TO GODFREYS POND AND WE FELL IN LOVE WITH IT!

SUSAN'S SON AND DAUGHTER IN LAW HAVE A MEMBERSHIP FOR THE PARK! WE LOVE IT SO MUCH WE WANT TO JOIN! THEN CAMPING IS ONLY $12 A WEEKEND! ISN'T THAT AWESOME?
MASON AND HUNTER(MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND SUSAN'S 4 YEAR OLD GRANDSON) MET FOR THE FIRST TIME! AT FIRST THEY PLAYED TOGETHER VERY WELL! HUNTER BROUGHT 2 TRUCKS AND LET MASON USE 1! THEN THEY WENT AND FEED THE BIRDS TOGETHER AND GOT ALONG WELL! ONCE THEY GOT BACK AND MASON DISCOVERED HIS FRISBEE IT WAS TOTAL CHAOS! LOL!! MASON WOULD WHIP THE FRISBEE AND THEN HUNTER WOULD RUN FOR IT AND MASON WOULD HAVE A FIT AND SCREAM, "THAT MY FRISBEE"! LITTLE STINKER! WE TRIED TO GET HIM TO SHARE BUT HE WAS NOT HAVING IT AND WOULD ROLL ON THE GROUND THROWING A FIT!
9/13/2009 3:05:04 PM - 002067758981

9/12/2009 9:25:06 PM - 001076975951
Hi there Lisa, Glad you liked the boat picture from the home page. That was taken Labor day when we went into Manhattan Battery park looking at the Hudson River with New Jersey across the way.
Sorry that when it rains the internet service gets all messed up. What a bummer:-(.
Yes I hope to come across open market on the streets of Europe...I have so many ideas for photos and can't wait to add them to my site and then eventually make a book. It's true 2 weeks from today I would be on the ship sailing away....I have to try to relax, enjoy and soak everything in.
And once I return you too will have a bunch of new photos from N.M. :-) Balloons and Jamie, Linda & Jean...it will be so much fun.
Have a wonderful weekend and I'm glad you enjoyed all the quotes....more to come next week. :-) By the way we too have rain here in NYC.
9/12/2009 7:59:25 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, love all your pumpkins and fall decor pics. I need to get on the bandwagon and get fall photos. I just saw your comment on my site. Yeah!! When is NM?
I'm leaving shortly to take photos of my horse friend - I guess there is some parade and she asked me to take pics. Its humid out so not looking forward to that. I like how your page is set up. I keep playing w/ mine. Catch you later.

Lisa, Hope you are another hair closer to a Alaska date and then I'll be looking for your countdown clock. And you too will be away for a few days while I'm in Europe. You have the balloon festival in NM. So when I return you'll have a bunch of new photos to share with us.

9/11/2009 12:36:17 AM - 000074469281
Lisa Lisa!! How are youuuuuuuuuuu?? Boy I miss visiting Share Sites and I too have not spent time in Gallery like I should be. I need to get back in the groove soon. We did have a good Labor Day weekend. How about you? Nice weather for once. I got to see the most amazing sunset ever. My pics don't do it justice. And we were ALL together Sunday night for dinner and I wanted a family photo. What a perfect oportunity! But of course some were pissy and it didn't work out which miffed me bad! All I wanted was ONE picture for my summer book; which I just finished. I haven't posted yet. They were big poopy heads - so i took tons of photos of them at dinner and at the bon-fire. Why r people/family so difficult? Ugh!
Hey, love your headers - I LOVE fall pictures. I need to really change my site up.

Sorry Shannon, I didn't mean to do that. Lisa, Love the new headers on this home page. Perfect. Hope you are well today. How is the new doctor working out? Well as the days get closer my excitement grows. We fly exactly 2 weeks from today. I can't believe how quickly my vacation will go by too. You plan and plan and save and save and then those 2 weeks just fly by. I am going to make the most of my cruise and enjoy me time. Forget all my worries and relax. Have a great day.

ahhhhh, just had this nice long message and Joanne kicked me off....LOL. Anyways sorry for not being around much, been busy at work and with the holidays approaching and possible vacation it has been busy at home as well. The weather is starting to cool off her, but we have had NO rain so that is is great since it has rained ALL summer. I am heading to my moms after work as she is watching Brady today, so hopefully we will find out more about our vacaation. We have been waiting on the Chemo clinic in Florida to ok my Grams treatment to be transfered there. Her doctor gave her the thumbs up to head south for the the winter but the Moffit Clinic where here treatments are being transfered to has not gotten back to us. Now we are afraid she may not be able to go until Nov, ugh! I have my fingers crossed we can go in Oct.

LISA,
I GOT THE POSTCARD YOU SENT MASON! THANKS SO MUCH! THAT IS SOOO ADORABLE! I KNOW HE WILL LOVE IT! THAT WAS SO SWEET! :)
WOW! YOU GOT YOUR LIL PUNKIN LAST NIGHT, THAT'S SO WONDERFUL! HOW CUTE THAT SHE CAME IN AND DECLARED EVERYTHING SHE SEEN HERS BY SAYING, "MINE"! WHAT A DOLL! SHE MISSED HER GIGI SO MUCH AND GAVE TONS OF LOVE! DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THAT!
I HAVE TO TELL YOU A FUNNY STORY REAL QUICK! THIS WEEKEND WHEN MASON WAS AT MY MOM'S HE DISCOVERED THE NEW BOOK I MADE MY MOM(THE ONE THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FOR GRANDPARENTS DAY ON SEPT.13 THAT I GAVE HER EARLY) WELL MASON LOVED IT SO MUCH AND SAID, "NANA, CAN I TAKE THIS TO MY HOUSE, TO MOMMA'S HOUSE?" MY MOM SAID, "NO AUNTIE MADE THAT FOR NANA AND YOU CAN LOOK AT IT HERE" THEN MASON SAID, "BUT NANA, I NEED THIS" HE BEGGED MY MOM AND TRIED TO CON THE BOOK FROM HER! ISN'T THAT SO FUNNY! THEN OUR FRIEND ROSIE STOPPED THERE WITH HER DAUGHTER JASANKA MARINA AND THEY WANTED TO LOOK AT THE BOOK AND MASON SAID, "AUNTIE MADE THIS BOOK AND I NEED TO TAKE IT TO MY HOUSE" THEN HE WOULDN'T LET THEM TAKE THE BOOK HE HAD TO TURN THE PAGES FOR THEM! ISN'T THAT A RIOT! MASON TAKES RIGHT AFTER HIS AUNTIE BECAUSE HE LOVES LOOKING AT PHOTOS! I LOVE THAT LITTLE GUY! :)
KYLEIGH AND MASON ARE AT SUCH A FUN AGE RIGHT NOW! THE STUFF THEY SAY AND DO IS SO FUNNY! :)

Good morning Lisa, Thanks a bunch for the B'day wishes. You are so thoughtful and sweet. XOXOXOX Thanks for thinking of me. I hope you had a wonderful weeekend and the weather wasn't too hot down in TX. We had perfect weather and I had a nice dinner with family. I did post a few photos on my gallery site.

9/7/2009 11:40:22 PM - 002020640084
TODAY WE WANTED TO EITHER GO TO AFRICAN LION SAFARI OR TO THE BUFFALO ZOO! THE ZOO WAS ONLY $1 TO GET IN TODAY SO WE DECIDED WE WOULD GO TO THE ZOO! WE WERE GETTING READY AND I CHECKED THE ZOO WEBSITE AND IT SAID YOU HAD TO BUY TICKETS AT TOPS(A LOCAL GROCERY STORE CHAIN IN OUR AREA) WELL WE CALLED TOPS AND THE TICKETS WERE SOLD OUT! GOOD THING I CHECKED THE WEBSITE AND THEN WE CALLED TOPS BEFORE HEADING OUT!
WE MAY GO TO THE AFRICAN LION SAFARI IN ONTARIO THIS WEEK! I'M SO EXCITED! WE HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN AT LEAST 7 YEARS! ITS SO MUCH FUN! THE ONLY BAD THING IS THE KIDS DON'T WANT TO GO WITH US! :(
9/7/2009 11:35:24 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
OH, I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT PARKING AT THE BILLS PRESEASON GAME IS $30 NOW!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! THEN THERE WERE LOTS THAT WERE ABOUT A 1/2 BLOCK AWAY FOR $25 AND THEN A BLOCK AWAY IT WAS $15! WE WENT TO THE ONE THAT WAS A BLOCK AWAY AND STILL GOT RIPPED OFF PAYING $15 TO PARK FOR A PRESEASON GAME!
LISA, THE RACES SOUND LIKE SO MUCH FUN!
YES, IT SEEMED LIKE FOREVER THAT THEY WERE IN DIFFERENT SCHOOLS! THE CRAZY THING IS THEY TAKE DIFFERENT BUSES! IN THE MORNING JOE GOES TO A DIFFERENT SCHOOL FOR AUTO TECH AND MARINA GOES TO EAST SENIOR HIGH THE ENTIRE DAY SO I CAN SEE THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE DIFFERENT BUSES BUT WHEN SCHOOLS DONE THEY ARE BOTH COMING HOME FROM THE SAME SCHOOL! CRAZY!
THANKS FOR EMAILING ME THE PHOTOS FROM THE THE TRADES! I LOVE EVERYTHING! KYLEIGH WILL BE SO FASCINATED WITH THE DECORATIONS THIS YEAR!
9/6/2009 2:14:26 AM - 002020640084

9/6/2009 12:54:15 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
THE BILLS PRESEASON GAME WAS FUN! THE WEATHER WAS BEAUTIFUL! WE LOST AGAINST DETROIT BUT ITS ONLY A PRESEASON GAME! THEY FIRED THE OFFENSE COORDINATOR! POOR GUY! ANYWAYS, HOPEFULLY THE NEW GUY WILL BE BETTER! :)
I RUSHED OVER TO SEE MASON TODAY BEFORE THEY LEFT AND I WAS TOO LATE! :(
I JUST NOTICED THE GALLERY MEMBER ON YOUR GUEST BOOK'S NAME IS MARINA LIKE MY DAUGHTERS ISN'T THAT SO NEAT! SPEAKING OF MARINA'S TODAY OUR FRIEND ROSIE AND HER DAUGHTER JASANKA MARINA(NAMED MARINA AFTER MY MARINA) WAS OVER MY MOM'S TODAY! JASANKA MARINA TURNED 2 IN MAY! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! I TOOK SOME PICTURES OF HER THAT I WILL HAVE TO POST ON MY SITE! ROSIE ASKED ME TO BE HER COACH WHEN SHE GAVE BIRTH TO JASANKA MARINA IT WAS SO AMAZING! :)
9/5/2009 4:51:08 PM - 001023411097
Hey lady we are busy taking hummingbird photo, they are really hard to take. I want to wish you and your family a great weekend and I will talk as soon as I get back on my puter. Hugs barbara
9/5/2009 5:24:35 AM - 002066991916
I just want to stop by just to say hi! I just want to let you know that everything is fine with me. Forgive me Liza if I didn't get a chance lately to look around your site. So much going on after I came back from my trip last August 15. Next week on September 8 my classes begin to study about 'Administrative Assistant' Plus my birthday is coming on September 9 but I have to go to work on that day so I am not so sure if I can feel the spirit of my birthday. But I am sure we have a small party at work and maybe my husband is going to surprise me when I get home after work. Oh by the way I like your 'Exploring Texas ' the Zoo 2008 especially your aquarium. For me that is really beautiful. Great job Liza!
9/4/2009 8:13:47 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, thanks for the b'day wishes. I still have no plans for my actual b'day which is Monday/ most like a dinner out. Sunday we will go visit my Mom & brother have Sunday dinner there. Traditional Italian dinner, sauce, spaghetti, meatballs etc. And as for tomorrow maybe the mall to buy a few last minute vacation items plus a luggage for Stephanie.Yes Mom is happy the surgery will be done next month so that she can see clearly. I'm glad for the most part the girls at the office are working out. A big help I bet. Darn that internet when it doesn't work we say to ourselves how did we live without it 10 years 15 years ago. We are so addicted to it and one thing I refuse to do is bring a computer on vacation. That is the time to get away from it all. I never understood that concept.Thanks for the kind words about my Autumn book last year. If I can find new ways to take photos I'd love to make a new book. I just don't want to do the same thing so I'm going to see if I can come up with some new approach to the Autumn season. Are you thinking of making a Autumn/Halloween book? Have a great evening Lisa and enjoy the weekend. And many thanks for the B'day wishes.
9/4/2009 3:53:36 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Just wanted to wish you a wonderful LABOR DAY weekend. have fun and snap away. I'm leaving you another quote for today. I'll try to stop by later.
9/4/2009 12:34:12 PM - 002055694880
Look at me!! I have five minutes at work and the internet is finally working. I have had no internet at work or at home hardly!!!! The only time my internet works at home is at 4:30 in the morning when everyone else is still in bed!! Well I am gonna have to start putting the carts out. Have a great day! Wanted to tell you hi!
9/4/2009 8:37:08 AM - 002070316626
Hello, and thank you for your comments on my site and for the careing of my family, I have been working a lot lately,but take some pictures in between. The family is also doing god. Love your pictures her,have you traveled in the balloon? I hope to try one some day :-).. Have a wounderful day
9/4/2009 4:06:33 AM - 002020640084

9/3/2009 3:46:38 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
TODAY WAS THE 1ST DAY OF SCHOOL! I WAS SAD TO SEE THEM GO! JOE IS A SENIOR AND MARINA IS A FRESHMAN! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I'M HAPPY THEY ARE IN THE SAME SCHOOL! TODAY JOE DIDN'T HAVE TO START UNTIL 10AM BECAUSE HE GOES TO 2 SCHOOLS(1 REGULAR THEN 1 SCHOOL FOR AUTO TECH) WELL THE 1 SCHOOL DOESN'T START UNTIL AFTER LABOR DAY! ANYWAYS, I HAD TO PICK UP JOE'S BEST FRIEND NICK AND DROPPED THE 2 OF THEM OFF! I WHIPPED OUT THE CAMERA AND ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW SO I COULD TRY TO SNEAK SO QUICKLY WHIPPED OUT THE CAMERA AND ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW! JOE'S SEEN ME AND GOES, "OH MY GOD MOM PUT AWAY THE CAMERA! OH MY GOD HOW EMBARRASSING!" IT WAS SOOO FUNNY!!!
9/3/2009 2:11:26 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, My mom has her date for her next surgery Oct. 13. She can't wait to have it done. We had lunch together but didn't want to go out. So we just spent the afternoon together and had lunch at her home..
I'm glad Kyleigh is feeling better. :-) I am also happy that you like all the quotes. I'll share a few more this afternoon. And I too like receiving gallery projects from you. So when I see one that I think is very pretty i think of you. I'll be by later, have to run out this morning. Be back soon.
9/2/2009 11:49:01 PM - 002020640084
CONTINUED.....
ANYWAYS, EVERYTIME I SEE MASON I ENJOY EVERY SECOND BECAUSE I KNOW IT MAY BE THE LAST TIME I SEE HIM! ITS SO HEARTBREAKING! ITS SO SAD BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE AUNT AND UNCLE RIGHTS ONLY GRANDPARENT RIGHTS IN NY STATE! MASON IS USED AS A PAWN TO GET WHAT THEY WANT! IF YOU DON'T DO WHAT THEY WANT NO MATTER HOW UNREASONABLE IT IS, THEN YOU ARE BLACKMAILED WITH NOT SEEING MASON! ITS BEEN SO STRESSFUL! BEFORE THIS HAPPENED WHEN I WAS BABYSITTING 3 TIMES A WEEK I HAD PLANS ON DEC. 23 AND THE DAY BEFORE JESSIE FLIPPED OUT AND SAID IF I DIDN'T BABYSIT ON DEC. 23 I WOULD NEVER BABY SIT MASON AGAIN! NOW MIND YOU THIS WAS THE DAY BEFORE AND SHE NEVER ASKED UNTIL DEC. 22! THIS WAS ON A SATURDAY AND AT THAT TIME I DIDN'T WATCH MASON ON SATURDAYS! THIS WAS BEFORE THE 5 MONTH SEPERATION! I HAD TO DEAL WITH SO MUCH CRAZINESS TO BE INVOLVED IN HIS LIFE! YOU WOULD THINK SOMEONE WOULD APPRECIATE A FREE BABYSITTER WHO PICKS YOUR BABY UP AND DROPS HIM OFF WITH NEW WARDROBE, NEW TOYS, RATTLES, BLANKETS, PHOTOS, BABY FOOD, WIPES, DIAPERS, ETC. 3 TIMES A WEEK!
9/2/2009 11:38:30 PM - 002020640084
SORRY, LONG STORY BUT WHEN MY BROTHER WAS GOING TO COURT JESSIE(MASON'S MOM) DID EVERYTHING HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO DELAY THE RULING! EVEN ILLEGAL THINGS! ITS SO SAD BECAUSE SHE WAS TAKING REVENGE ON MY BROTHER BUT SHE HURT MASON THE MOST! SHE DEPRIVED HIM OF SO MUCH LOVE FOR ALL THOSE MONTHS! I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD EVER SEE MASON AGAIN! I FELT LIKE SOMEONE KIDNAPPED HIM AND I DIDN'T KNOW IF I WOULD EVER SEE HIM AGAIN! JESSIE(MASON'S MOM) EVEN SENT ALL OUR BIRTHDAY GIFTS BACK FROM OUR ENTIRE FAMILY! WE ALL BOUGHT BONDS AND SENT CARDS AND SHE PUT RETURN TO SENDER ON ALL OF THEM! BY THE TIME WE GOT TO SEE MASON WE WERE PURE STRANGERS! AT THE TIME MASON WAS 15 MONTHS OLD AND WE HADN'T SEEN HIM SINCE HE WAS 10 MONTHS OLD! THEN MARINA CAME UP AND HE TOUCHED HER FACE LIKE AS IF TO SAY, HEY, I REMEMBER YOU! IT MAKES ME CRY EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT! MASON WAS SO ATTACHED TO US BEFOR THE SEPERATION! IT WAS SO HEARTBREAKING FOR HIM TO LOOK AT US LIKE STRANGERS WHEN WE WERE REUNITED FOR THE 1ST TIME AFTER 5 MONTHS! THERE IS SO MUCH TO THE STORY BUT I HAVE TO GO! I JUST GAVE YOU A REALLY QUICK IDEA OF THE SITUATION BUT BELIEVE ME ITS SO MUCH MORE CRAZIER THAN THIS! ITS SO SAD BECAUSE I WAS MORE INVOLVED IN MASONS LIFE AND CARED FOR HIM MORE THAN ANY FAMILY MEMBER AND BECAUSE JESSIE GOT IN AN ARGUEMENT WITH MY BROTHER SHE TRIED TO PUNISH MY BROTHER AND TOLD HIM, "NOW BECAUSE OF YOU YOUR SISTER WILL NEVER BABYSIT AGAIN & YOUR FAMILY WILL NEVER SEE MASON AGAIN!"
SOMETHING JESSIE ASSURED MY HUSBAND AND I THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN JESSIE AND MY BROTHER I WOULD ALWAYS BE A PART OF MASON'S LIFE! WE BOUGHT 95% OF HIS CLOTHES! WE BOUGHT THE MAJORITY TOYS, BOOKS, BLANKETS, BASSINET, BEDDING, ETC. WE WOULD BUY DIAPERS, WIPES, JUICE, ETC. I PAID FOR ALL HIS PHOTOSHOOT! NOT ONLY FOR JESSIE, MY FAMILY BUT HER ENTIRE FAMILY AS WELL!
9/2/2009 11:25:54 PM - 002020640084
I DIDN'T WANT TO GET BUMPED! LOL!
ANYWAYS, MASON LIVES VERY CLOSE AND I USE TO TAKE CARE OF HIM 3 DAYS A WEEK! THEN HIS MOM GOT MAD AT MY BROTHER VINNY(MASON'S DAD) AND SHE WOULD NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SEE HIM! IT TOOK 5 MONTHS FOR THE COURTS TO ALLOW MY BROTHER VISITATION FOR A FEW HOURS AT MY HOUSE ON SATURDAYS! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW PAINFUL THAT WAS TO NOT SEE MASON OR HEAR HIS VOICE FROM DEC. 2007 -MAY 2008! THE VISITATION BATTLE LASTED 1.5 YEARS! NOW MY BROTHER GETS MASON ON FRIDAY NIGHTS AND HALF OF SAT! NOW I DON'T REALLY GET TO SEE MASON THAT MUCH! ITS REALLY HARD BUT I TRY TO KEEP BUSY OR I WOULD LOSE MY MIND!
9/2/2009 11:20:48 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
HOW FUNNY I WAS SENDING YOU A REPLY TO YOUR EMAIL AND I CHECKED ON MY SITE AND YOU LEFT A MESSAGE! TOO FUNNY! THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE REMINDER! I HAVE BEEN SIDETRACKED! LONG STORY, THAT I TRIED TO QUICKLY EXPLAIN IN THE EMAIL! ALL GOOD THINGS! JUST BEING BUSY WITH SURPRISE INVITES, OUR FRIENDS ARE IN TOWN FROM MICHIGAN & SCHOOL APPROACHING CRAZINESS! NEVER DID LAST MINUTE SCHOOL SHOPPING! WHAT A NIGHTMARE!
THE CANTON STORE SOUNDS FUN!
9/2/2009 1:15:47 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Stopping by making a short visit. I'm on my way to take my Mom to the eye doctor. Have to make arrangements for the surgery on her other eye plus a follow up on the eye that did have surgery. Don't know if I'll be back in time to visit all the sites.Yes i love all the quotes Michelle is leaving too. You have got a section full of wonderful quotes and expressions. And the timing does seem to fit it.S&V went to see that Woodstock movie this weekend. I haven't been to the movies in about 3 months or so. Waiting for something worthwhile to see. Movie here aren't cheap. I'd put the money into my "VACATION FUND". LOL Lisa, I've been meaning to ask you, how is your aunt feeling? I continue to send my best wishes for her.I'll try to catch you this afternoon if I make it back in time. Otherwise I'll just visit tomorrow and leave you a quote then, have a wonderful day.
9/1/2009 3:36:42 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Still no documents...am I still wait for the postman everyday. Glad that Kyleigh is feeling better & that you spent time with her this weekend. I didn't go anywhere. It did rain Friday, saturday and Sunday till noon. S&V went to the movies, but I just stayed home. When Joe got home from work we went out to dinner nearby.
Glad you like all the quotes. I'll be sharing more with you. Have a good day and I'll catch you later .
9/1/2009 2:30:10 PM - 002035648808
Lisa,
What a fabulous site. Toni told me about how wonderful it is. Thanks so much for all of the comments on my pics. I am just getting started with all of this and am looking to learning from pros like you and Toni. I am going to Cape today to visit my daughter. I usually get on Shutterfly around 8 or 9 in the evening. I will look at your site then and get some tremendous ideas before we go on our camping trip to Minnesota this Friday.
9/1/2009 12:47:51 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I LOVE THE ALBUM OF KYLEIGH AND THE SHARESITE KIDDOS!!! I LAUGHED SO HARD AND IT TICKLE ME PINK EVERY TIME I THINK OF IT!
I'M HAPPY TO HEAR KYLEIGH IS FEELING BETTER!
THIS WEEKEND WE WENT TO MY NIECE KAYLEE'S 15TH BDAY PARTY! MY BROTHER ANTHONY'S DAUGHTER! HE HAS 3 GIRLS KAYLEE 15, KELSEY 12, & KOURTNEY IS 5 MONTHS OLD! ITS SO SWEET TO SEE HOW MUCH KAYLEE AND KELSEY TAKE CARE OF THEIR BABY SISTER KOURTNEY!
ANYWAYS, YOUR TOO CUTE ABOUT APOLOGIZING FOR BUMPING ME! TOO FUNNY!
TODAY I'M HAVING THE KIDS PHOTOS TAKEN! JOE'S SENIOR PORTRAITS! I HAVE TO DRIVE MY FRIEND TO THE DOCTORS BECAUSE SHE HAS TO GET HER CATHEDER OUT FROM HER SURGERY THIS WEEK(LIPOSUCTION)! YES, I WAS VERY SURPRISED! I HAD NO IDEA! LOL!!!
DID A TON OF SCHOOL SHOPPING YESTERDAY! JOE GOT HIS HAIRCUT & MARINA GOT HER EYEBROWS DONE!
HOPEFULLY THE PHOTOS WILL COME OUT GOOD! THE KIDS AREN'T TOO THRILLED ABOUT IT AT ALL!
HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY! :)
9/1/2009 4:21:42 AM - 001023411097
Hey Lisa, I just love looking at all the photo and I get so many ideas from your site. Kiss little Kyleigh. I know she has your heart in her little hands. Hope she is better. bj
8/31/2009 11:48:58 PM - 000074469281
Lisa, I like your ideas. Will have to play around w/ it. Oh, I changed one of the boats on my header to Joey Girl. I thought I'd try it!
later - glad Kyleigh is feeling better. Still haven't eaten. I can't get myself off this darn computer.
Thx for ideas!!
8/31/2009 11:26:23 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, I know I've texted you, just wondering how that little punkin is doing? I hope she's feeling much better! She is so lucky to have a wonderfull Gigi like you to take care of her. God bless you both!
8/31/2009 10:37:04 PM - 002077860514

I'LL BE ON THE LOOKOUT! I'M SO EXCITED! THANKS LISA YOUR SUCH A SWEETHEART! :)
8/30/2009 5:57:51 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
MY HUSBAND SENT OUT THE POSTCARDS YESTERDAY FOR YOU AND 1 FOR KYLEIGH! :)
I JUST SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING AT YOUR POSTCARD PAGE AGAIN! I LEFT SOME COMMENTS THERE & ON THE 2009 ALBUM!
HAVE FUN WITH YOUR LIL PUNKIN TODAY! :)
8/30/2009 2:42:07 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa! Remember me!!! Ah haha!! Gosh, it feels like forever. I feel so behind on everyone. :( Sounds like Toni is getting same weather as we are in good ol' Fargo. Nobody wanted to go to the lakes - we'd be crammed in trailer like sardines trying to stay warm. I did want to go as next weekend will be the last. How can summer go by so fast. You guys have really been hit hard w/ the heat or is that how it usually is? I don't like stepping outside and all my air gets sucked out!!
That is HILARIOUS Kyleigh was kissing the screen of my nieces & nephew. I seriusly need some revamping to my site. I'm dreadfully board with it.
So glad Kyleigh is doing better. Madeline gets that too. Its so sore for little ones. Is it from their diapers? Madeline NEEDS to be trained. SHE will get a diaper when she needs changing. Sometimes we think she pooped and she says 'no i just farted'. Its so funny hearing their sweet voices say fart. And of course they think thats funny as heck!!
Ok doll, gotta run. Finally made it here!! Now I gotta snoop around!
8/29/2009 8:19:56 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
TOMORROW IS GOING TO BE A HIGH OF 57 DEGREES AND LOW OF 45 DEGREES! YIKES! I GUESS THAT SNOW BRUSH WILL COME IN HANDY SOONER THAN I THOUGHT! LOL!!!
YOU ARE SUCH A DOLL! I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR THE SURPRISE! THAT WAS SO NICE YOU SEND JOE AND MARINA ONE! I DID YOURS AND KYLEIGHS YESTERDAY BUT DIDN'T GET THEM IN THE MAIL! I WILL DROP THEM IN THE MAILBOX TOMORROW!
I'M SO HAPPY KYLEIGH IS GETTING BETTER!
I AM HEADING OFF TO MY NIECE KAYLEE'S 15TH BDAY PARTY! I HOPE I GET A BUNCH OF PHOTOS OF MY 3 NIECES!(MY BROTHER ANTHONY'S GIRLS)
OUR FRIENDS FROM LANSING MICHIGAN JUST GOT IN TOWN THIS MORNING! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM! I'M SO EXCITED! :)
ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR LIL PUNKIN! :)
8/28/2009 2:16:25 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, How is Kyleigh doing? Is she feeling any better today? Will she be spending time with you this weekend? I hope you'll have good news to share that she is doing okay. I hope to have a quote for you later today. take care.
8/28/2009 1:04:58 AM - 000031826072
Oh no - I just read about poor little Kyleigh. Hope she feels better soon. Poor little sweetie. Infections are so miserable.
Thanks so much for loading up all the wonderful pictures and your fabulous Summer Camping photobook on my Shutterfly Friends page. I've been meaning to create one forever, since I love all of yours so much, but just hadn't gotten around to it. Better late than never, I guess.
Hope you have a great Friday and that Kyleigh feels better very soon.
8/27/2009 3:29:03 PM - 002055694880
I wanted to see how Kyleigh was today. I bet she is doing better.
I know that there is ton going on for you right now....but don't worry it will all get better. Everyone of us.....s/f friends and family are praying for you and Kyleigh and family. Things will look up. You bring so much joy to so many...why wouldn't we want to retkurn the favor?!!
I hope the rest of your day goes better and ends fantastic!!! Talk to ya later!
8/27/2009 1:31:02 PM - 001076975951
Lisa,
I'm sorry to hear about Kyleigh. :-( Darn that infection. I will be by later to read your journal.
I'm glad you like all the quotes...I have 2 more for you today.
Lisa, Please don't worry if you can't make it to the sites every day, I know family and work comes first. I feel the same way if I am unable to visit for a day or two I do think about all my S/F friends. I even talk about you and Barb, Jean, Joey, etc. to my girls as if we've know each other for years. I talk about all your joys and woes and my girls ask how are you S/F friends doing today. So I too think about you even on those days I am unable to explore everyone's sites.
Lisa, I hope Kyleigh gets better soon. She has a wonderful Gigi who loves and cares for her. She is lucky to have you. Many blessings.
8/27/2009 5:08:07 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I'M SO SORRY YOU HAD A ROUGH DAY YESTERDAY! POOR KYLEIGH! I HOPE SHE GETS BETTER REAL SOON! I LEFT YOU A NOTE ON KYLEIGH'S PAGE!
I'M SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED LOOKING AT MY NIAGARA FALLS BOOK TODAY!
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT YOUR CHRISTMAS BOOK AND HE LOVES THAT IDEA! I THINK I WILL DO OUR CHRISTMAS MEMORIES AND INSPIRATIONS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR MY KIDS! I THINK THAT THEY WILL GET A KICK OUT OF IT! ITS ASHAME WE DON'T HAVE ANY CHILDHOOD PHOTOS EXCEPT FOR ABOUT 20 OF THEM BETWEEN US BUT WE ARE THINKING OF CREATIVE WAYS TO MAKE IT WORK! I HAVE MY BABY BOOK AND IT HAS A TON OF PHOTOS FROM XMAS! THEY ARE SO ADORABLE! :)
MY FRIEND GOT A FREE 8X8 BOOK AND GAVE IT TO ME! SHE TOLD ME 1 DAY BEFORE IT EXPIRED SO I MADE A GARDEN BOOK! ITS SO PRETTY! :)
8/26/2009 9:23:20 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
BY THE WAY, YOU SAID TO BE ON THE LOOKOUT ON THE 19TH BUT I HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING! IS IT ON MY SHARESITE OR MAIL?
8/26/2009 9:16:22 PM - 002020640084

Hi Lisa,
How was Rider's Birthday dinner? Everyone have a good time?
As of today I have 31 days till my cruise. The to do list is getting bigger and bigger. For one thing Stephanie needs a new luggage so we'll have to buy one next week. maybe there will be a labor day sale. I have to hold my mail & newspapers, make an appointment for my haircut,etc. The countdown begins.....

So glad you appreciate my back to school pictures! You should have seen the kids when I came to a dead stop in the middle of the road to take pictures of the sign and the front of the school building... They would have crawled into the floor board if I would have let them unbuckle! One day they will get it! For now, I guess I will just continue to "tourture" them! LOL
8/25/2009 10:00:08 PM - 002017307623
Cracking up at the flying pigs! Thanks for making me smile!

Lisa, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Rider.......and many more. He is still a young little chicken, LOL. Do you stop and wonder where the time went? And now he too is a daddy with precious Kyleigh. Have a wonderful dinner and celebration. take a few photos of this special day.
LOL moms you have got to love them. My mom loves the Sundays we all come over to visit and spend time with her. Do you get to see your mom often, does she live nearby or closer to your sisters & brothers?
No documents yet but a postcard from Jean...Loved it. Lisa thanks for the link to the bird photo book. It was beautiful and so well put together with all the journaling. I really liked it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Lisa,
How are you doing today? I bet you are still busy at work between interviews, surgery and getting the new office ready do you have time to scratch your head? Just take it nice and easy.
Yes dinner at my mom's was good and Joe and the girls always come with me. That is our time to spend with her. Especially now that the girls work that is the only time my mom gets to see Stephanie & Victoria. So those afternoons are special to her. I'll try to leave a quote later today. Enjoy and take care.
8/25/2009 5:19:48 AM - 002066991916

Hi there! Everything is well with me! I am very busy lately since when I came back from my trip. I just went to Philippines by myself because my husband has a work. David going to send me to go to school and I am going to study about 'Administrative Assistant' plus I am going to take a class to study about the 'Web Designer and Photography'. It is very early for me if I retire and make own business. Once again 'Thank you for thinking about me. You are my Mom at Shutterfly.

Lisa, No big plans this weekend.....lots of rain. Dinner at mom's tomorrow. we had 100 year old trees topple over in Central Park due to the storms we received the other night. Big clean up here.
Take care.
8/22/2009 2:34:25 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa,
Sorry that you are at work on a Saturday and that you are on call this weekend. Joe knows exactly how you feel. He too is at work today. This is the field of health care. Are new doctors joining your office? How many doctors will be in practice there? I hope you will find a person that clicks with you and the rest of the co-workers to fill that position. That would be 1 less person unemployed.
The beaches here in NYC have been closed due to Hurricane Bill heading north. He will miss us which is good but the sweells are dangerous and tbtb closed the beaches. We did have lightening last night. Rain is on and off this weekend. No plans for today.
Good luck with all the scanning of your Granny's photos...It is going to take a lot of time. How is your aunt feeling? Have you seen her this week?
Lisa, I know how you feel about the car and phone. You want to squeeze in those extra few months before going out and spending the money on the new car, phone, TV, etc.
I hope you do get to spend some time this weekend to yourself and doing the things that make you happy. Enjoy.
8/21/2009 3:47:53 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I JUST SPENT SOME TIME VIEWING YOUR SHOWCASE PAGE!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
HOPE YOU HAVE A HAPPY DAY! :)
8/21/2009 2:29:04 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
SORRY! SOMETIMES I WILL BE WRITING A LONG COMMENT AND IT WILL CLICK ME OFF! ANYWAYS, MY DAD FOUGHT IN THE VIETNAM WAR BUT HAS NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT IN HIS LIFE TO ANYONE! I WOULD LOVE TO REDO IT FOR HIM BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE TO TRAUMATIC! THE PHOTOS ARE SO AMAZING! I HAD 1 SOMEHOW IN MY POSSESSION AND I USED IT IN HIS THANK YOU CARDS I MADE WITH SHUTTERFLY! I WANTED TO PUT IT ON HIS CAKE BUT DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD UPSET MY DAD OR BRING BACK BAD MEMORIES! I HAD IT AT THE PARTY AND SHOWED SOME OF MY COUSINS, MY DAD'S GIRLFRIEND, AND HIS FRIENDS AND THEY LOVED IT! MY DAD WAS SO HANDSOME AND FIT! I COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW SMALL HIS WAIST WAS AND HE SAID IT WAS A SIZE 26 WHEN HE WENT IN THE SERVICE! I THINK MY DAD WAS 17 (IF THAT'S POSSIBLE) WHEN HE JOINED AND MY GRAM HAD TO SIGN FOR HIM AT THE TIME! CRAZY!
8/21/2009 2:22:50 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
WOW! THAT'S EXCITING THAT YOU MAY BE GETTING A NEW CAMERA! WHAT KIND OF CAMERA ARE YOU HOPING TO BUY?
ANY PLANS FOR RIDER'S 20TH BDAY?
I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BRING KYLEIGH TO THE GRAPEVINE FOR THE OFFICE XMAS BASH!!! WHAT FUN! I LOVE THAT YOU LOVE CHRISTMAS SO MUCH! IT MAKES ME WANT TO ENJOY IT MORE INSTEAD OF BEING STRESSED OUT! I THINK I SHOULD TRY TO BRING THE JOY AND SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS BACK IN MY LIFE! DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE THE HOLIDAYS BUT THERE IS JUST SO MUCH TO DO AND IT SEEMS EVERY YEAR IT GETS EVEN MORE CHAOTIC! ONE OF OUR BEST CHRISTMAS WEEKS IS WHEN WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP TO TENNESSEE! IT WAS SO PEACEFUL, MAGICAL, & FILLED WITH SO MUCH LAUGHTER AND JOY! I WOULD LOVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN SOMEDAY! THIS WEEK I WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW SPECIAL THAT WAS TO LEAVE ALL THE STRESS AND CHAOS IN BUFFALO AND HAVE PEACE AND QUIET WITH MY HUSBAND AND KIDS THIS CHRISTMAS!
ANYWAYS, I'M SO GLAD THE MEANING OF THE ROMEO CLUB TICKLED YOU PINK! IT TICKLES ME PINK THINKING ABOUT IT! MY DAD AND THE REST OF THE ROMEO CLUB HAVE BREAKFAST ONCE A WEEK! I HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE ROMEO CLUB STOOD FOR AND NEVER REALLY INQUIRED! THEN IT CAME ABOUT 1 DAY AND I THOUGHT THAT WAS SO FUNNY!
ROMEO= REAL OLD MEN EATING OUT
THEN MY DAD TELLS HIS GIRLFRIEND ALL THE TIME THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE ALZHEIMER'S HE HAS SOMETIMERS! LOL!!! YES, I HOPE THAT MY DAD AND HIS GIRLFRIEND TAKE TONS OF PHOTOS ON THEIR ADVENTURE TO ATLANTIC CITY NEXT WEEK!
MY DAD ASKED ME ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO COME AND PICK UP BOXES OF OUR CHILDHOOD PHOTOS AND I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE! ANYWAYS, I WAS STOPPED THERE THE OTHER DAY AND HE GAVE ME THE BOXES BUT ALL OUR CHILDHOOD PHOTOS WERE GONE! ONLY MY BABY BOOK, 2 PAGES THAT WERE STUCK IN MY BABY BOOK THAT HAD ABOUT A DOZEN OF PHOTOS WHEN I WAS ABOUT 3, THEN JUST PHOTOS OF MY DAD! I WAS REALLY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I WILL NEVER SEE THOSE PHOTOS AGAIN IN LIFE! I AM HEARTBROKEN! ITS SO SAD!!! ANYWAYS, I GUESS I SHOULD BE GRATEFUL THAT I AT LEAST COULD CREATE A BOOK OF ME WHEN I WAS A BABY! THEN THERE WAS MY DAD'S ENTIRE VIETNAM ALBUM!!! ITS SO AWESOME! I ASKED IF I CAN TAKE IT TO SCAN AND MAKE MY KIDS A BOOK! I WILL TELL YOU IN NEXT COMMENT! :)
8/20/2009 11:08:48 PM - 002017307623
Hi! Thanks for stopping by my site earlier today! I appreciate the sweet things you said. I am loving getting to know a whole new group of fellow shutterfliers! Congrats on having your book featured this week. Mine was also. I was so shocked when I found out. I am sure you were as excited as I was! What a treat for us both. I love your site. And I love that you are a fellow "southerner" with ya'lls and all! Love it!
8/20/2009 12:26:22 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, How are you doing today? I'm so glad that Kyleigh will be able to attend the Christmas Party...you must be so happy about that. She'll be the star of the party. Joe bought a new car last October because my other car was 14 years old and it was starting to give me trouble. There were days it took a half a dozen tries to get the car started. And with the winter coming Joe said we need a car that starts. I guess if it has to be traded in then you should do it. Cars like people get old and banged up here and there. I was sorry to let go of my car, but now I happy with my new car.
I'll have a new quote for you today. Good luck with all the interviews I hope you find a person who will fit in perfectly with the other co-workers. Will this current office remain pen or is the entire staff moving to the new location? How long does it take you to get to work? Hope to catch you later. Have a good day.
8/19/2009 7:36:02 PM - 002020640084
JUST CHECKED OUT YOUR CO-WORKERS PAGE! I WANTED TO SEE THE NEW PHOTOS YOU ADDED FROM YOUR OFFICE AND LOVED THEM! THEN TO MY SURPRISE WERE PHOTOS OF BEAUTIFUL MANDY, HER NEW GORGEOUS BUNDLE OF JOY, AND HER HANDSOME HUSBAND! CONGRATULATIONS MANDY! I LOVE ALL THE PHOTOS! :)

I WAS SO DELIRIOUS MAKING THAT BOOK THAT I THOUGHT I INCLUDED THE PHOTO OF JASON LUNGING AT MARINA AND HER RUNNING FOR DEAR LIFE!

THAT PHOTO CRACKED UP A BUNCH OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO VIEWED IT SO I GUESS THE FIGURED OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON BY THE FEAR SIGNS AND SEEING JASON! WAY 2 MUCH FUN!
NOW MY DAD AND HIS GIRLFRIEND ARE GOING TO ATLANTIC CITY NEXT WEEK AND I SENT AN EMAIL OF MY LATEST BOOK AND TOLD THEM TO TRY TO GET EVERY DETAIL SO I CAN MAKE THEM A BOOK OF THEIR TRIP! HOPEFULLY THEY WILL VIEW THE BOOK! I HAVE BEEN ASKING MY DAD SINCE MARCH TO CHECK OUT MY SHARESITE AND I MENTIONED IT THIS MONTH AND HE SAID, "GEEZ, YOU HAVE A LOT OF PICTURES ON THERE!" THAT WAS IT AND CHANGED THE SUBJECT! NICE RIGHT! NEVER EVEN TOLD ME HE VIEWED IT! OH WELL! AT LEAST HE LOVES THE PHOTOBOOKS I MAKE HIM AND GIVE HIM IN PERSON! HIS FRIENDS CALL ME AND TELL ME HOW MUCH THEY LOVE THE BOOKS AND THAT MY DAD BRINGS THEM TO THE ROMEO CLUB EACH WEEK TO SHOW THEM OFF! I THINK I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE ROMEO CLUB! IT STANDS FOR

Lisa, Mom's appt went well and she will find out the results in about a week or so. How is your aunt doing? I shall keep her in my prayers.
Scanning old photos takes a lot of time...but slow and steady and you'll get the job done. I so love all the old photos and learning the lives of family members of days gone by. It is worth preserving the family history. Just take your time. I'll visit your sister's site sometime this week.
I'm glad you like all the quotes..and I'll share a few more with you tomorrow. Hope you are keeping cool in the A.C. Have a good day and be well.
BTW, how is the interview process coming along @ work?
8/18/2009 6:20:35 PM - 002029331419
OOOOO I like seeing the Alaskan Report!! Great idea! :0)
8/18/2009 1:57:26 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
OH I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT YOUR AUNT SUFFERING FROM CANCER! ITS SO HARD TO SEE SOMEONE YOU LOVE SUFFERING AND IN PAIN! I WILL ALSO KEEP YOUR AUNT IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
I LOVED THE NEW SHARESITE YOUR SISTER RHONDA STARTED UP! THE PHOTOS FROM THE PAST ARE BEAUTIFUL! I CANNOT BELIEVE THE AMAZING PHOTOS THAT YOUR FAMILY TOOK BACK THEN! AMAZING PHOTOS!!! NO WONDER WHERE YOU GOT YOUR SHUTTER BUG FROM! LOL!!! I LEFT COMMENTS ON A BUNCH IN THE ONE ALBUM! :)
I'M SO GLAD YOU AND YOUR SISTER HAD FUN REMINISCING ABOUT THE PAST! :)
8/17/2009 11:39:36 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about your aunt and her suffering from cancer. I'll say an extra prayer for her and I pray that an angel will be watching over her. Too bad your granny won't have her photo taken anymore:-( Family should be remembered in every stage.
No documents till today but I look forward to my mailman's delivery...I'll keep you posted. Tomorrow I may not be on the sites...have to take my mom for her yearly mammo...she is getting squished. Blessing to your aunt and I hope her sufferings can be eased by her loved ones visiting and their love.

I just checked through your camping photos! It loooks like so much FUN. But where were you; behind the camera I see!! Yeah, I bet it does feel good to have anothet book done. It turned out so nice too. I just love summer. I get my best shots outside, especially by the lake.
Off to check out other pages.
8/17/2009 2:35:52 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa! I have missed you!! Hope you had a nice weekend. I did go to the lakes; but didn't want to as I knew it was going to rain. And it rained & rained!! Nothing better than sitting in a tin can and listening to the rain fall harder and harder. Lots of family bonding!!!
They had a Halloween in August where the kids could get all dressed up and go to camper to camper saying trick or treat. A whole bunch came even though it was pouring rain. Something fun and different to do and who knew it was my sister Traci's idea (the one w/ 3 kids)! We left early today. I'm going to browse your site.
Oh, we had some very sticky, hot, humid days last week. The kind that sucks all your air out of you. Now its cooler - its been a weird summer.
Talk to u soon!
8/16/2009 9:11:57 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, Stopped in for a minute to look. I love the Summer Camp book! You have been such a busy girl this summer! I have sat around getting better as much as you have been running this summer! There's always next summer! Thanks for stopping into my quite neglected site! I'm alwasy so glad to see you were there and to get your text messages! You gave me a heart attack at reading your journal! I didn't know that you had an accident! I am so glad that you are alright! You are so right that it could have been worse! Hope you really are alright. i checked oiut Kyleigh's page, you've added some really cute pictures of her everywhere. She is such a sweetheart! I can understand needing to spend more time with her! I head back to work tomorrow and Iam not sure what I will do without seeing Kaylee as often I have been. I asked her yesterday what she was going to do when "Oma" went back to work and she said "No Oma". Ashlee said they are going to be bored! Not sure why, it's not like I was total entertainment, just a person and a place to hang! :) I'll let you know how I do back at work this week! P.S. I forgot to tell you that they didn't have to "drain me" this week! woohoo!
8/16/2009 9:03:22 PM - 002020640084
LISA,

Happy Sunday Lisa, Hope you and your family are well and it isn't too hot down in Texas. I am glad you have been enjoying all the quotes. I'll have some new ones for you tomorrow.Victoria so far is doing well at work. Still learning the ins and outs. I didn't know your office was hiring 2 more people. Is the office moving to a bigger location? Good luck finding the right person for the job. One more person hired is one less person who is unemployed.So glad you liked Al B's photos...they are so beautiful. He does nice work without every taking a class. Plus he loves to travel and that is an added plus in my book. Enjoy your Sunday and take care.
8/15/2009 2:34:03 PM - 002055694880
Ok so Jamie invited me on FB so I signed up....confusing tho. I am fixing to get dressed and head to Grandmas. Not looking forward to it. I took Dad's cake over to him early this morning and the girls woke him up and they had cake for breakfast!! I let it slide this time....:) they enjoyed it. Anyway I have a long story to tell you I think I am gonna email ya with it tho. It is way to long to text plus I can type faster!!!
8/14/2009 2:06:26 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, HAPPY FRIDAY!!! Yes Victoria is glad to back at work and making money. One less thing to worry about. Loved your camping weekend book very nicely done.
Glad you liked the headers on my travel site. Those photos belong to my husband's co worker who is into travel and photography. My kind of man...LOL So the credit had to go to Al B. He has been to South America, Europe, and all over the US.
I hope that as time goes by and Christmas party comes along little Kyleigh can come with you. Don't give up hope yet. Glad you liked my quotes too. I'll have to search for another one to share with you.
Enjoy your day.
8/14/2009 2:05:19 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I WAS BUSY DOING SOMETHING AND THOUGHT OF THIS AND HAD TO SHARE IT WITH YOU! I HAVE BEEN TAKING YOUR ADVICE ABOUT SNEAKING PHOTOS OF MY SON SINCE HE HATES HIS PHOTO TAKEN AND ITS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL! IN THE PAST I WOULD SAY JOE I WANT TO TAKE YOUR PICTURE AND AS SOON AS I WOULD GIVE HIM THE HEADS UP HE WOULD PUT HIS HANDS OVER HIS FACE AS I SNAPPED THE PICTURE! ANYWAYS, YESTERDAY JOE WANTED TO LOOK AT THE RECENT TRAINING PHOTOS AND WAS SHOCKED WHEN HE DISCOVERED THE PHOTOS! JOE GOES, "OH MY GOD MOM YOU TOOK PICTURES OF ME BY THE TREE! YOUR SUCH A CREEPER!" ISN'T THAT A RIOT!!! HEY, I'VE BEEN CALLED WORSE THINGS BEFORE AND ITS TOTALLY WORTH IT IF I CAN GET SOME PHOTOS BEFORE HE IS MARRIED! LOL!!!!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR SNEAKING PHOTOS TIPS!!!! NOW I CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A BOOK FOR JOE THAT HE WILL ACTUALLY ENJOY! :)
8/14/2009 1:41:54 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
BY THE WAY, YOUR CAMPING BOOK WAS AMAZING!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! WE WERE HOPING TO STILL GO CAMPING! WE WANTED TO GO IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS AND BRING A BUNCH OF MY KIDS FRIENDS BUT NOW THAT SUMMER SCHOOL IS DONE TODAY BUT NOW FOOTBALL TRAINING HAS STARTED! MY SON'S KNEE IS STILL MESSED UP SO HE CAN'T PLAY FOR HIS SENIOR YEAR :(
ANYWAYS, MY DAUGHTER THINKS MAYBE WE SHOULD PLAN FOR A WEEKEND IN SEPTEMBER! I LOVE CAMPING WHEN THE WEATHER IS BETWEEN 60-75 DEGREES SO WE MAY PLAN ON THAT! MY CAMPING BOOK I MADE WAS FROM PHOTOS IN 2007 I WILL HAVE TO POST THAT REAL SOON! MOST OF THE PHOTOS MY DAUGHTER TOOK AND SHE DID A WONDERFUL JOB! YOUR CAMPING BOOK TOTALLY ROCKS AND IS SUCH AN INSPIRATION! I REALLY WANT TO GO CAMPING TO CAPTURE EVERY DETAIL :) MY BOOK IS FUN BUT SINCE DISCOVERING SHUTTERFLY I NOW LOVE NATURE PHOTOS AND I THINK MY DAUGHTER AND I COULD DO A MUCH BETTER JOB TAKING PHOTOS THIS TIME AROUND! LOL!!!!

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO INDIANA AND ITS SO NICE TO KNOW THAT CONNIE AND JOSH LIVE THERE! MY FATHER AND BROTHER WON'T RELOCATE SO IT WILL JUST BE US! I'M HOPING THAT MY SON GETS TO FINISH HIS SENIOR YEAR HERE! IF NOT, HIS BEST FRIEND NICK'S (WHO STAYS AT OUR HOUSE EVERY WEEKEND, EVERY SCHOOL VACATION, AND ALL SUMMER FOR THE PAST 5 OR MORE YEARS) MOM WILL LET MY SON LIVE WITH THEM TO FINISH OUT THE YEAR! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WITHOUT MY SON AND HIS FRIENDS, IT WOULD BE SO HARD FOR ME! MY HEARTBREAKS THINKING ABOUT IT BUT IF WE HAVE TO MOVE DURING THIS SCHOOL YEAR THEN I KNOW IT WILL BE IN MY SON'S BEST INTEREST TO STAY WITH HIS FRIEND'S FAMILY! MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE LIVED HERE OUR ENTIRE LIVES! MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN IN THE SAME SCHOOL DISTRICT WITH ALL THE SAME FRIENDS HER ENTIRE LIFE SO IT WILL BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT IF WE HAVE TO MOVE! I ALWAYS WANTED TO MOVE AWAY BECAUSE I HATE ALL THE SNOW! THE SNOW IS SOOO MUCH WORK! ITS SO COLD HERE FOR SOOO LONG! WE GET SNOW FROM OCTOBER UNTIL MAY! ITS CRAZY!
YES, I DID POST MY MOM'S PHOTOBOOK I MADE FOR HER GRANDPARENTS DAY GIFT IN THE GALLERY THE OTHER DAY!
ANYWAYS, I WENT TO THE BILLS TRAINING CAMP YESTERDAY AND I'M UPLOADING PHOTOS RIGHT NOW! WE TOOK 6 OF MY SON'S FRIENDS WITH US! ALL 4 OF US WENT AND THEN 6 OF JOE'S FRIENDS! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I AM HEADING OFF TO GO TO MY MOM'S BECAUSE ITS HER BDAY TODAY BUT I WILL TRY TO POST THEM ON MY SHARE SITE! THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIP ON SNEAKING PHOTOS I ACT LIKE I'M TAKING PHOTOS OF SOMETHING AND WHEN MY SON'S NOT PAYING ATTENTION I SNAP PHOTOS! THEY MAY NOT BE PERFECT BUT THEY ARE BETTER THAN NOT HAVING PHOTOS! JOE EVEN GOT IN SOME GROUP SHOTS! I'M SO HAPPY! I THINK I WILL DO A TRAINING CAMP BOOK FOR HIM! JOE WOULD LOVE IT! I MADE SOME SHUTTERFLY BDAY CARDS WITH THE PROFESSIONAL BILLS PLAYERS LAST NIGHT! I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THEM! THIS WAY WHEN HIS FRIENDS BDAYS ROLL AROUND I'M NOT RUNNING AT THE LAST MINUTE TO GET A BDAY CARD PLUS THEY WILL THINK ITS REALLY COOL TO HAVE THE PLAYERS ON THE BDAY CARD!!! I ALSO MADE NOTE CARDS WITH A BILLS PLAYER ON THEM SO THAT WE CAN USE FOR BDAY CARDS AS WELL! I HAD A $10 COUPON AND THE NOTECARDS WERE FREE SHIPPING SO I REALLY GOT THE 12 NOTECARDS FOR FREE!!! :)
8/13/2009 1:42:57 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I'm glad you have gotten use to your new cell phone. I myself have a simple phone no camera no special features. But I love APPLE and my computer is a MAC. So enjoy it. Our friends from S. Africa had a I-phone and while they were here they used it all week for getting around and posting photos for their friends and family back home. it was COOL!!
I have another quote for you Lisa.
8/13/2009 2:25:47 AM - 002055694880
I looked around at the camping photos. Don't have mine uploaded yet. I need to try since the internet is workin right now. I am glad that you are ok to. Don't know if I can take much more craziness!!
8/13/2009 1:24:36 AM - 001023411097
Hey having a hard time staying on the sites tonight!
Lisa OMG - your are right Joey. Drink Coffee wash your face with cold water and take ice cubes with you on the road. I'm glad you are OK! You need to sleep good. I'm worried now...bj
8/13/2009 1:08:50 AM - 001023411097

LISA!! OMG - I just read about your morning on GG C. Holy Crap girl. Thank God you are ok. You really must be over-working. I'll stop back soon and check new pics. Header is great - but so sad it is under water.. I haven't even been to my own site in a couple days!
Hang in there.
8/12/2009 2:43:57 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa!! Nice new header! Your camping pictures are great...I love all of the big smiles! Don't see one of you smiling..yet...must be on Starla's site! Huge Fish!! 80O
8/12/2009 1:51:25 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Love the new header. It is sad to read that it was under water after the storms. Mother Nature can be cruel at times. Thanks again for the postcards....I love them and I'm beginning to have a nice collection. I have a quote for you today.
8/12/2009 6:12:14 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I LOVE THE HEADERS AND THE CAMPING PHOTOS! I LEFT YOU SOME COMMENTS ON THE ALBUM PHOTOS! I'M SO HAPPY YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY WENT CAMPING YOU ALL LAUGHED ABOUT THE GOOD OLE DAYS! :)
WOW! THAT FISH IS HUGE! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT WAS 20 POUNDS! AMAZING!
I'M SO GLAD YOUR GETTING EXCITED ABOUT XMAS AND THAT YOU MAY PUT UP ANOTHER TREE! KYLEIGH WILL BE SO CUTE WITH SANTA THIS YEAR! IT WILL BE SO FUN TO SEE HER REACTION!
WE MAY HAVE TO RELOCATE TO INDIANA NEXT YEAR FOR MY HUSBAND'S WORK! MY HUSBAND LOST HIS JOB BUT THE COMPANY MAY BE HIRING IN INDIANA IN 2010! MY HUSBAND, FATHER, AND BROTHER ALL WORKED FOR THE SAME COMPANY AND ALL LOST THEIR JOBS! MY FATHER WORKED AT THE COMPANY FOR 36 YEARS, MY HUSBAND WORKED THERE FOR 12 YEARS, AND MY BROTHER WORKED THERE FOR 10 YEARS AND THEY ALL LOST THEIR JOBS! MY DAD WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION FOR 6 YEARS! MY FATHER ONLY NEEDED 2 MORE YEARS TO OFFICIALLY RETIRE! CRAZY!
ANYWAYS, I'M SO HAPPY YOU HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND! I WILL CHECK OUT YOUR NEW OFFICE PHOTOS TOMORROW! :)
8/11/2009 2:53:11 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Glad to hear that you and your family had a wonderful although HOT camping trip. And look what you got out of it...family time and a Bluecat fish for dinner. Nice.Victoria so far is liking the new job and it was a one day training in Conn. and 1 day training in NYC (another office building) and of course a day to day learning experience. The weekend was okay and I have no plans for this weekend as of yet.My mom is doing well and will probably have the other eye surgery after my vacation. Then she will go house hunting. So it seems the autumn will be a busy time for her and me too.I loved the postcard...what a wonderful surprise. Thanks a bunch Lisa. Have a wonderful day and stay cool.
8/10/2009 9:46:03 PM - 000084870684
Hi Lisa, just want to say hi and thank you for visiting my site hope to hear from you again and you have a great site have a good evening.
8/10/2009 5:54:28 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, how was the camping trip? Did you have nice weather or was it too hot? Today is the first day all summer we hit 90Ā°F in NYC. How is little Kyleigh? Did she go camping with you? Anyway I hope to have a new quote for you tomorrow. Keep cool and stay well. catch you later.
8/9/2009 3:39:26 AM - 001023411097
Are you camping in an Air condition room! I can't believe this heat. Maybe you are in the cool mountains with rushing streams and snow on the mountain tops! See you Sunday. Hugs bj
8/8/2009 12:40:44 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
I HOPE YOUR CAMPING ADVENTURE IS AMAZING! HOPEFULLY THE WEATHER WILL COOL DOWN! WOW! 104 DEGREE TEMP THAT'S HOT HOT HOT!!!! I LOVE READING YOUR JOURNAL ENTRIES AND I'M SO GLAD IT IS AN OUTLET TO WRITE & EXPRESS YOURSELF! YOUR JOURNAL ENTRIES ARE SO MUCH FUN TO READ!
I LOVE THE DALLAS COWBOY 18TH BDAY STORY!!!! WHAT FUN!!! I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKE THE TRAINING CAMP PAGES! WE ARE HOPEFULLY ALL GOING TO GO THIS WEEK! WE WENT TO NIAGARA FALLS AGAIN YESTERDAY AND HAD FUN! MY SON DIDN'T GO WITH US, IT WAS JUST THE 3 OF US! I LOVE YOUR EXPLORING TEXAS PAGE AND LEFT A COMMENT OVER THERE! CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PHOTOS FROM YOUR CAMPING ADVENTURE! :)
8/7/2009 3:05:03 AM - 001076975951
Good evening Lisa, Busy bee you are at work...but that's a good thing. Today Victoria had to go to New Haven, CT. She had to go for a training day. It was a 2 hour train ride. All is well she got there and the woman who hired her picked her up and gave her a tour of the TV station. She also met the top boss. She said that everyone is really nice and thoughtful. Having kind and thoughtful co-workers is an important part of work.
Hope you get all your work done during the morning and you can go home early for the weekend.
I read your message about how you love to TEXT. I am out of the loop since I don't text. I was out to dinner once with Joe and the girls. The table right next to us had a family of 4 and each and every member was texting and I thought this was totally rude and uncalled for. Do you know how many families don't have dinner together and that one time you go out with your family you don't have the courtsey to speak to each other. That made my blood boil when I saw that they were there sitting together and didn't say one word to each other. Time with family is precious and there was this family wasting time texting. It just made me mad!!
I'll have another quote for you tomorrow. Glad you liked todays quote. Even Toni liked it. :-) Catch you tomorrow. Good night.
8/6/2009 3:33:53 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I FORGOT TO MENTION I LOVE THE CHARLIE WATERS STORY! WHAT A GUY TO SPEND THE TIME WITH YOU WHEN YOU SNUCK IN THE HOSPITAL TO SEE HIM!
THANKS FOR YOUR RECENT COMMENTS ON MY BOOKS POSTED IN THE GALLERY! YOUR KINDNESS AND SWEET COMMENTS IT MADE MY DAY! :)
8/6/2009 3:25:24 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I JUST DISCOVERED YOUR FAMILY PAGE AND LOVED IT! I DON'T KNOW HOW I MISSED IT?!!! I LEFT YOU A COMMENT THERE!
I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED THE BUTTERFLIES AND BEES I ADDED TO YOUR SHOWCASE PAGE!
I TOTALLY FORGOT I STARTED A HOLIDAY PAGE AND ADDED SOME REALLY ADORABLE PHOTOS OF MY NEPHEW MASON'S 1ST XMAS SEASON! I KNOW YOU LOVE XMAS SO I THOUGHT YOU WOULD ENJOY THE ONES I ADDED ON THE HEADERS! THAT PAGE IS A WORK IN PROGRESS! I WILL HAVE TO FOCUS ON THAT ONE THIS MONTH! LOL!!!
WOW! SPEAKING OF CHRISTMAS ITS ONLY 4 AND HALF MONTHS AWAY! LOL!!!
ANYWAYS, I HOPE YOUR GETTING READY FOR CAMPING THIS WEEKEND! I BET YOU WILL HAVE A BLAST EVEN THOUGH IT MAY BE REALLY HOT! YOU CAN RELAX IN THE POOL ALL DAY LONG!
ANY PLANS FOR RYDER'S BDAY?
8/6/2009 3:02:01 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Hope you are well today. I have some new photos from my exploration on my gallery site. Feel free to stop by. I also have a quote for you today.
8/5/2009 11:46:54 PM - 002020640084
LISA,

I'M SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED THE BILLS TRAINING CAMP PHOTOS & THE NIAGARA FALLS PHOTOS! THANKS FOR YOUR SWEET COMMENT ON MY NEWEST BOOK I POSTED! MY DAD LOVED IT AND YOUR ARE SO RIGHT IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT! IT WAS A HUGE HIT AT THE PARTY! :)
8/5/2009 8:40:37 PM - 002058326073
Hi Lisa. Got your message on the ball site and no, I haven't yet started a "personal" page. Wish I had known you were going to be in Oklahoma. I would have loved to have hooked up somewhere on the highway to meet you and grab a bite to eat. Next time you are in Oklahoma be sure to let me know and if you have time when can meet in person. I love your sunflower pictures. You know we went to Kansas City this past weekened for our last baseball tournament and I was so disappointed. I was so looking forward to getting some interesting pictures (something other than baseball) and most looking forward to "sunflowers". I didn't see one _ _ _ _ sunflower, and they call Kansas the "Sunflower State". WHATEVER!!!! Keep in touch. And here is my personal email in case I don't respond to messages on the baseball site; mrchambers@cox.net
TTYS,
Michele
8/5/2009 7:46:19 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thanks for stopping by. Glad that you liked my wedding picture over @ Barb's site. I like yours too. Boy were we young chickens back then...LOL It is hot here today but it is more humid than anything else. We are in the mid 80's. So far Victoria likes her job and the co workers are nice. She is still in the training phase and I hope she likes this place as much as she liked her other job.
I understand completely about losing a phone, book, whatever and then a person doesn't have the heart and the common sense of returning it to its rightful owner. Makes me what to scream and call that person a bad name. :-( Don't worry the Man upstairs is watching and he/she will not get to enjoy it much. I'm glad you are getting use to your new phone and may it bring you years of good use.
I hope you camping trip will have tons of laughter and joy. Keep the camera handy for any LOL moments that may arise. Will Kyleigh come along too? I'll catch up with you tomorrow...have a great day.
8/5/2009 4:17:40 AM - 001023411097
I'm back, I also made a comment and you need to write more stories like that. WOW
8/5/2009 4:00:10 AM - 001023411097
OK, I have not look around and I'm reading your comments. I need to know what magical day so I will be back. bj
8/4/2009 11:59:08 PM - 000074469281
Lisa I had to laugh at your comment on GGC. Sounds like you'll have a fun weekend camping in the sweltering heat and going skinny dipping. I see another book coming. HA
My niece just called and said she gets to stay overnight. She's going to her brothers baseball game first so won't be here til 8:45ish!! Her mom (my sister) is so paranoid - she drives me CRAzY! Literally. Hopefully it will be nice in morning so we can walk to a playground. Her mom willl probably be here at 9am!!
Talk to u soon! Or probably tomorrow.
8/4/2009 10:11:31 PM - 002055694880
Regan will stand in time out and yell..."I"M READY TO GET OUT! I"M DONE! I"M READY TO GET OUT! She is something else. K'Lee and her are playing now......
8/4/2009 9:19:49 PM - 002020640084
LISA,

8/4/2009 8:57:08 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
IT WAS THE STRANGEST THING I WAS TELLING YOU ABOUT THE FAINT RAINBOW PHOTOS OVER THE NIAGARA FALLS THAT I WAS EXCITED ABOUT AND I ADDED MY COMMENT AND LOOKED UP AND I DISCOVERED YOUR RAINBOW PHOTOS! THEY ARE SPECTACULAR! I LEFT YOU SOME COMMENTS ON THOSE! MINE ARE NOTHING AS BRILLIANT AND BEAUTIFUL BUT ITS EXCITING BECAUSE ITS OVER THE FALLS! I WILL HAVE TO UPLOAD THEM TOMORROW AND POST THEM!
I FINALLY POSTED THE BOOK I MADE FOR MY DAD'S BDAY THE OTHER DAY! I FINISHED IT IN MAY AND ACTUALLY WAITED UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO GIVE IT TO HIM AT HIS SURPRISE PARTY! IT WAS THE 1ST SHUTTERFLY GIFT I WAITED TO GIVE ON SOMEONE'S ACTUAL BDAY! I GET TOO EXCITED WHEN THEY COME IN I IMMEDIATELY DRIVE OVER TO WHOEVER I'M GIVING IT TO RIGHT THEN AND THERE! I'M SUCH A MANIAC THAT I DON'T EVEN WRAP IT I'M SO EXCITED! THE SECOND I COME HOME & GET THE MAIL I DRIVE OFF TO GIVE THE GIFT TO THE PERSON! THIS TIME I WAITED PATIENTLY! LOL!! THEN I TRIED LAST MONTH TO POST IT AND THE TEXT WAS MYSTERIOUSLY IN ANOTHER FONT. MY QUOTES AND SAYINGS WERE RUINED BECAUSE THEY WERE CUT OFF HALF WAY! ANYWAYS, I FINALLY POSTED THAT BOOK AND I WILL POST THE 3 I MADE THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK! I HAVE TO LOOK THEM OVER BEFORE I POST THEM BECAUSE I WAS SO DELIRIOUS MAKING THEM! LOL!!!
WHEN IS MANDY DUE? IS IT HER 1ST BABY? I LOVE THOSE SONOGRAM PHOTOS! HOW PRECIOUS! :)
YES, LISA WHAT DID YOUR LIL PUNKING DO TO HAVE TO STAY IN TIME OUT? MY LITTLE MISCHIEF MAKER MASON IS TOO FUNNY! MASON WAS MISBEHAVING FOR MY DAD AND MY BROTHER AND EVERYTHING THEY SAID NOT TO DO HE DID IT. THEN MY BROTHER SAID YOUR GOING TO GO IN TIME OUT AND MASON SAID, "I DON'T CARE"! WHAT A STINKER! HE IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A GOOD PHOTO BECAUSE HE IS ALWAYS GETTING INTO MISCHIEF AND RUNNING AROUND!
HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD EVENING! :)
8/4/2009 7:59:10 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Thanks for visiting...thanks a bunch for adding some more photos to my Share page & Travel America. That was lovely and I love the pictures. By the way I added a few more to the showcase page. I did take a few photos on my exploration but have yet to upload...mostly likely before the weekend I'll add them to my site. Have a great day.
8/4/2009 2:02:40 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Love the new header with Kyleigh's photos...way too cute. I think I'll have a quick look around before I head on out....it is going to be warm & sunny. I think it is a sin to be indoors when the weather is nice. I am even take my camera. have a great day.
8/4/2009 3:48:44 AM - 001024320926
Jean I thought of you when I saw that clock :)
8/4/2009 3:11:12 AM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa!! Look at that cool clock! I know where you were at 11:25 Sat morning! LOL Awww i just love these old clocks in towns _ They are soo cool!! And I even know who Blake Shelton is! I read your Journal...fantastic day!!
Your Lil' Punkin steals the show...even in the time out corner!! LOL!
8/4/2009 1:25:31 AM - 000074469281
Oh your phone! What a pain in the rear. Someone finds it and decides to keep it?!! How did u know it was found? What an a hole!
How's the iphobe working? I heard a lot love them once you know what you are doing. Then I suppose u had to enter in all your ph numbers. Nightmare!
8/4/2009 1:22:04 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa!! Here I am....The headers of Kyleigh had me laughing out loud. What a cutie, What did she do?? Your trip to OK sounds fun, but lots of driving. Good to see your friend though. I don't do well in stiffling heat either. It's been really mild/cool this summer & I can't believe its almost over. UGH! I heard you guys have been swelering hot. How far are you from Bandera TX?
Yeah, I think a lot of mine are duplicates on my Guestmap too. I hate when I can't find someone to thank them. It says its easy to delete duplicates, but when I tried it didn't work.
My foot seems better. I'll have someone check it tomorrow again. It doesn't hurt. It just hurt that one day I put my other shoe on. Not necessarily hurt, but it felt super tight. It was from the walking. I went at it full force, not realizing I could get hurt as this is VERY new to me. So i was good last week. I feel like I'm repeating myself.
Did u have Kyleigh all weekend? Did she go to OK w/ her traveling GiGi?
Talk to u later, i know I'm missing something.
8/4/2009 12:30:54 AM - 002020640084
LISA,
OH, I LOVE THE HEADER PHOTOS OF YOUR LIL PUNKIN IN TIME OUT! WHAT A RIOT! I LAUGHED SO HARD! WHAT A LITTLE DOLL BABY!
OH, I STARTED AND FINISHED ALL THREE BOOKS IN ABOUT 4 DAYS! I MADE MY MOMS BOOK FOR GRANDPARENTS DAY, A NIAGARA FALLS BOOK FROM PHOTOS I TOOK LAST WEEK, AND A CAMPING BOOK FROM PHOTOS OF MAY 2007! THE CAMPING BOOK I USED THE STORYBOOK TOOL AND IT WAS A BREEZE TO DO! THE NIAGARA FALLS ONE WAS INSPIRED BY YOUR TEXAS FAIR BOOK AND JOEY'S 4TH OF JULY BOOK! MY MOM'S BOOK I MADE FOR GRANDPARENTS DAY WHICH IS THIS SEPT. 13. I MODIFIED QUOTES THAT I USED FOR MY DAD'S BOOK I MADE FOR HIS BDAY! I FINALLY POSTED MY DAD'S BOOK TODAY THAT I GAVE HIM FOR HIS BDAY THAT I MADE IN THE END OF MAY! MY DAD'S BOOK IS ALL B/W PHOTOS AND I MODIFIED QUOTES IF I THOUGHT THEY WERE MEANINGFUL AND IT WAS FATHER, SON, OR DAUGHTER QUOTE THEN I MADE IT INTO GRANDFATHER, GRANDSON, OR GRANDDAUGHTER SAYING! I GUESS IF ITS MODIFIED ITS NOT A QUOTE ANYMORE! LOL! ANYWAYS, MY MOMS BOOK CAME OUT REALLY PRETTY! SHE LOVES HER GRANDCHILDREN, MY GARDENS, & BUTTERFLIES SO I COMBINED THEM WITH SOME FAMILY QUOTES & MY MODIFIED SAYINGS! I LOVE IT! I WILL POST THAT THIS WEEK OR NEXT WEEK!
HOW WAS YOUR VISIT WITH YOUR FRIEND IN OK? I LOVE THE DIAMOND SHOP SIGN! :)

Hi Lisa,
This is Victoria. Thank you for the message. I'm very excited about getting a job and look forward to all the tasks I'll be asked to do. The position is National Sales Assistant. The company owns tv stations and magazines, so it's a field I'm interested in. Thanks again.

7/28/2009 1:12:58 PM - 000093706714
Hey Lisa...glad you got to see 'My King'. It was truly a very special day and we had so much fun. I posted the story to go along with the event......including a very unfortunate mishap with home hair coloring. I don't recommend it! hehehehe
I viewed the images from the Stockyard today and read about the temps while traveling. Sorry. As much as I love the heat, it gets to me sometimes as well.
And girlfriend, you are the reigning queen in site visits. I seriously don't know how you manage it all......but you do a great job! When I think of the Energizer Bunny........I see your picture right next to it! Love seeing your giggles wherever I go.
I lost Jonathan & Corynn's album pages............long story....but I am off to recreate.
Have a great day!

Hey Lisa,
Just a quickie. I was laughing so hard at your stories. They are great and its awesome we still have or minds to remember them. You should do a wedding book and tell stories of how Nick tried to escape and was yelling everyones names. I can't stand the kind of heat where it takes our breath away. Thats disgusting!!
Isn't that dance video hilarious and so awesome!! LOVE IT. I'm glad Starla is doing ok. Tell her hi.
Hey, we both have 60 people who signed our guest map. I think some are duplicates on mine though.
I caught a bird this morning. I just changed my Pic of week. I was going to leave my sisters picture up one more week as it cracks me up. Reagan said 'Mommy that lady is riding a noodle'!! That comment makes me laugh everytime I think of it. I told my sister her pic is making all kinds of comments but do u think she could leave a comment. Whatever.
Night girl, and have a good Tuesday!!
7/27/2009 5:42:20 PM - 002020640084
LISA,
I DIDN'T GET MANY PHOTOS EITHER DUE TO THE HOT WEATHER & EXTREME HUMIDITY AND I WASN'T FEELING WELL. IT TOOK 2.5 HOURS TO GET TO THE FESTIVAL SO I WOKE UP AROUND 630AM TO GET READY! THEN WE TOOK OFF AROUND 8:30 AND GOT THERE AROUND 11 AND WE NEVER STOPPED TO EAT OR GO TO THE BATHROOM! I HAVE BEEN SICK WITH MY SINUS & ALLERGY PROBLEMS AND I THINK I HAVE A KIDNEY STONE SO I WAS SO SICK THE ENTIRE DAY! I THOUGHT ONCE WE ATE, HAD A DRINK AND I TOOK SINUS MEDICINE I WOULD FEEL BETTER BUT I DIDN'T! I'M SO DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PHOTOS WHEN I FIRST GOT THERE BUT I WAS SO DIZZY AND SHAKY THAT I THOUGHT I WOULD TAKE PHOTOS LATER WHEN I FELT BETTER BUT IT DIDN'T HAPPEN! ANYWAYS, I GOT SOME THAT I WILL POST THIS WEEK! THAT STINKS THAT THE HEAT GOT TO YOU THIS WEEK AS WELL AND YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO GET AS MANY PHOTOS AS YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED! HOPEFULLY YOU WILL GO BACK WHEN ITS NOT SO HOT AND BE ABLE TO SPEND MORE TIME!
7/27/2009 2:06:50 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Sorry to hear you have been under the weather, but I hope you are feeling better today. So glad you had some time with Kyleigh...that is wonderful. I'll try to visit later today just making a few quick site hoppings before I go out. have a good day.
7/26/2009 6:18:04 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
Hope you are having a great weekend. I am home for at least one weekend before heading off on some more travels, it will settle come the end of August, although I do like going on trips. Thanks for stopping by recently.

7/25/2009 10:21:20 PM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa. I think you said you had to work out of town today. I'm just home catching up on stuff ie: sharesites!! Talk to u soon and hope u got a photo-op out of your work day. I haven't taken a picture since the 13th! OH MY! I haven't been to the lakes thats where I get most of my pics. Thanks for the words of encouragement on my blog. Means so much. I don't go there every day but when I do its such a nice surprise to read your comments.
talk to u soon.
7/25/2009 3:19:20 PM - 002058326073
Hi Lisa, As always I love your pictures. I have been stopping by regularly but haven't taken the time to leave a message, sorry. I just checked our high school baseball site this morning and saw where you had messaged me so didn't want you to think I was being rude and ignoring you. LOL Once school ball was over I stopped checking that site as frequently. My son has been on a traveling competitive team this summer and we have been in Kansas and Texas playing ball. I started another site for that team but I am ashamed to say I just haven't kept up with it. It got so terribly hot that the last thing I wanted was a camera pressed against my face. So this summer I have enjoyed just "watching" the ball games and not worrying so much about the pictures I get. We are playing in Kansas City next week and that will wrap up our summer season. Maybe I will have time to enjoy my camera for something other than "baseball". ha..ha.. Hope all is well your way.

thank you, that means a lot. iv got a 6mp sony cybershot, i had it for about five years. not the best quality, but i keep it in my pocket... so a lot of my pictures wouldve never been taken if i had something nicer. but of course, id love a nikon.

Hi Lisa, I just wanted to stop by and wish you a wonderful weekend. Is this the weekend you have to go for classes? Do you have to go with other co-workers?
I know Joe has to take some classes soon for work to get credits. Afterall the medical field is always changing and hopefully improving.
Check out your quote page I'll be leaving you a new quote for the day. Have a great day and take care.

I can't wait to see your books on Vancouver & San Diego once they are done. I'm sure they will be beautiful. Plus don't you have another trip coming up soon?
Victoria is still waiting the company is doing a background check on her. I never heard of that before, is this something new to do background checks?
I hope to have a quote for you tomorrow. Have a great evening.

Hi Lisa, Howdy and hope that all is well today with you. Did your brother have surgery? I hope he is doing well. Just want to say a quick hello and I'll visit later today. Have a great day.
7/21/2009 4:08:57 AM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - Quick drive by to tell you that you are more than welcome to download the picture of the cake. My friend, Cathy, gets credit for it and she is the hostess with the mostest! Will stop by again soon..it's late and I'm tired!
7/21/2009 1:39:51 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, I forgot to ask how your brother is doing? My friend had gallbladder surgery a couple years ago. He was in sooooo much pain for several weeks before. He couldn't sleep. I guess he was back at work a few days later.
Hope your brother is doing better. How was it to have Miss Sunshine this weekend?
Later girl!
7/20/2009 10:22:47 PM - 002055694880
Hey H! How are you? I am going to stand on the other side of the room when I am done with this oh and I am not going to answer the phone when you call either!!LOL!! Ready....I didn't go take my test. Yeah Yeah I know.....I have until Aug 24 before I absolutely have to take it....Hey this my only day off this week and I needed it after this weekend with my cousin!!! I also had fifteen loads of laundry...so there. Is that good enough excuses? If not.....well......:)~ It won't be hard. I'll make it. Thank you for sharing those pics with me. I loved them!
7/20/2009 10:18:06 PM - 000074469281
Hi Lisa (H). I recognize that flower. Its a petunia if you don't get them in TX. LOL
I have to say your comment about my Pic of the Week had me laughing out loud. She looks pretty good for her age - haha (I'm being mean - like she'll ever see this) I think that shot made her look younger!! It just cracks me up - I mean how perfect, she's holding the noodle beween legs and jumping in lake!!
7/20/2009 9:44:06 PM - 002020640084

7/20/2009 2:32:26 PM - 001076975951
Greetings from the Big Apple Lisa.....
Glad you had a wonderful weekend with Kyleigh. I think the potty training is easier with girls. Did it take a long time when your boys were toddlers? I remember with my girls it was fairly easy and didn't take too long.
Thanks for always asking about Victoria and keeping her in your prayers.
The Traveling Shutterfly Gals will have tons of photos to share for months to come. Lisa, what kind of pictures do you want me to share? I will have photos from my weekend on my gallery site hopefully by tomorrow. Have a wonderful day and I do my best to visit later today.
7/20/2009 1:16:46 PM - 000034909909
Great job on your images and on the site, love it, sure wish I had more time to spend visiting etc.. Are you and Barb related? that is really neat to see you both in the image.

Hi Lisa, I just have a quick minute then I'll stop back later. Henry has another site at:

He has a Hummingbird nest not to far from where he lives and is taking photos of their growth. It is so neat. Its on his last page. Everyone can check it out. I'll try to send an email to everyone.
Later and enjoy your Sunday!

7/17/2009 3:37:41 AM - 000074469281
I'm being nosy, but who is Wade and I take it he had surgery? Hope all is ok. Did Starla have a test? I hate tests? I haven't been in Gallery or on Sharesites as much as I'd like to have been. It was a super busy day, but good. I blogged about it! It's a LONG one. Thanks to u and Starla for 'following' me. I'm new to this blogging thing.
I sent you something via snail mail. You should have received by now. probably got lost. :(
I know, Toni's site really has blossomed!! She's not one to fart around!!! LOL!
Well, my dear, I'm going to bed. Hi everyone, I'll get to your sites soon. I'm staying home this weekend.
nighty night!
7/16/2009 10:21:08 PM - 001024320926
Bet he does now.....unfortunately lots of patients make that mistake :( At least the pharmacy is open.
I did not eat those pickles!! I thought I was going to die from eating the one that I did eat.....part of my lip never recovered!!
7/16/2009 9:52:42 PM - 002055694880
And Mom said that those pickles were like kerosene!!! But that ya'll ate every bit of them...
7/16/2009 9:50:49 PM - 002055694880
I came here earlier to tell you about Wade and went to another page. When I got home....Mom was telling me that his oxygen that they could get not get it back where it should be. They got home about an hour ago. I think it hurts alot worse than he thout it would. I think he is fine now. K'Lee made it a point to tell me that he was going to the bathroom when they left. Becky left to go to town and get his pain meds cause he would not let her stop on the way home....HE DIDNT" NEED 'EM!!! He does now...................
7/16/2009 4:03:36 PM - 002020640084
LISA,

7/16/2009 1:57:16 PM - 001076975951
Lisa my dear, Happy Thursday. I hope you are well. Thanks for answering my link question. I can always count on you. Have a great day.
7/15/2009 9:20:50 PM - 002020640084
Lisa,
Wow!!! This sharesite is so amazing! I love it!!!! Thanks for stopping by to see mine! Your so right that my photobooks would look so much better on a different page on my site. I only played with the site 2 times since I quickly started it in March. I never did anything like this before so now I'm inspired to work on it! I love the back in the day photos!!!I want to add a page like that this summer and the family pages are really cool! Thanks so much for your help, support, and inspiration!!!
7/15/2009 2:00:29 PM - 000074469281
Lisa, how are things with you?? I noticed your question on GG C. About Bookmarks. Cheri started a thread on that but I don't think Rachel saw it. She was out yesterday. I have had the same problem and the only way I can add a bookmark is by going to the Other Websites tab which does seem backwards. Maybe we will hear more today.
Have a good one.
7/15/2009 1:18:30 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I forget to tell you the job interview lead to a face to face interview yesterday. The woman that Victoria spoke to works out of Conn. But they have offices in NYC too and that led to the face to face with 3 execs at the company. I hope and pray they liked what they saw and heard from Victoria. Now we wait.....which is painful.

Lisa, How are you doing? Thanks for the comments on my zoo photos. I hope to go to the Bronx zoo before the summer ends. Of course I'll share my photos. Hope to see lions and tigers. Have a wonderful day my friend.

I know that I will do fine....especially when boss lady is standing behind me giving me the anwers! LOL! Not to all of them just the ones that I think do not relate to what I do and have nothing to do with me just something you are supposed to know. She only had to help me with one....something about pathogens and something else....who knows.
Wade has his surgery on Thursday. Depending on how it comes out..he may be off two weeks or six weeks. If they can blow him up and pull through holes two weeks if they have to cut then six weeks. Said the dr is also going to look at his liver while he is in there. Something about a fatty liver. He does not seem worried about it. Becky is real nonchalant....I think he will feel much better.

Hey there Lisa! I just read yours and Starla's comment on my article and thank you so much for your support. It truly is inspiring & overwhelming receiving all this support on my new journey. You both made my spirit soar! Now I believe more than ever w/ all this extra Sfly support that I can achieve an impossible dream. What was I thinking when I thought I want to do the Marathon! Crazy! Actually that thought never even crossed my mind, I just got bit with the Marathon bug this past May and I knew I could do it if I had support from Dr's, trainers, family and all u wonderful people. I am getting mushy again but big hugs to u and I so appreciate you and all u do!

The test is going to be long and drawn out and horrible. The only thing that is good about it is if I go to office and don't do it from home....I get paid. I was there two hours today and did four lessons. I passed all those quizzes and there is no telling how many more there are....it doesn't say.
7/14/2009 1:35:05 PM - 002055694880
Hey H! Off to clean a house...the babysitting is OVER!!! And then I am going to go take my managers test......hope it's not hard! I'll let you know how I do.

Thanks for visiting our site! We are from Texas, too. I absolutely LOVE the bluebonnet photobook - too cute! I wish they would bloom longer. We seem to miss the photo opportunity every year.
7/13/2009 8:28:11 PM - 002066991916
AWESOME!!! I love your header flags, those are cool. Especially your poise on the header photo that is very beautiful. By the way Lisa thank you for down loading Kyleigh photo on my 'Shutter Share site' I really like her photo. She looks so adorable. Maybe in the month of November I am going to Texas to visit my brother-in-law & mother-in-law at 'Thanks giving' and we may bumps there. Thanks again!
7/13/2009 1:59:46 PM - 001076975951

Hey Lisa. I'm trying to make my rounds. Your moon photos look fantastic. Mine still look like little blobs. I didn't crop them closer. Maybe i should try that. Are you all meeting up in NM? Take lots of pics for me!! I read your post on Cheri's site. You bumped me off twice! Thats ok - still luv ya. I read a little about Kyleigh, I understand how that can get u down. Will u see her Sunday?
Keep your head up and know I'mthinking of u.
cyber hugs to you!!
:)
7/10/2009 6:22:43 PM - 002029331419
Lisa!!! You are too funny...but that Horsefly is HUGE!! LOL! I don't see a shoe...but that doesn't mean he's not wearing one!! ha ha And I like your Moon pics! Even with the sky not completely dark...what a pretty blue! I like them!! I need to find some of our desert NM specialities around here for you guys.....might give you the heeebeee jeeebeees ... but that's ok! ha!
I love that you have your camera out and your snapping away! Good practice for your next upcoming trip!! :0) I'll be practicing from now until then too! :0)
7/10/2009 2:19:11 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, How are you holding up today. Victoria had a phone interview today so she is hoping that this leads to the face to face interview. Hope you enjoy your weekend with your hubby and make the most of it. I'm sharing a quote with you too so check out your quote page. :-) Catch you later.
7/10/2009 1:52:26 PM - 002055694880
Love the new moon photos to. They are great! I took some last nite and the moon was soooo orange. Awesome!!
7/10/2009 1:51:23 PM - 002055694880

Gosh what an incredible first page !! Love the sunflowers, love the family pics and yet again the Texas Bluebonnets pics are simply awesome. I am still in and out of town but could not resist stopping by to say hi !

Lisa, they went to San Marcos to float the River. Well I guess that would be New Braunsfels.....however you spell it. They were supposed to be renting a van and then drive down there. There is a few people going.
7/9/2009 2:17:12 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, How are you feeling today? I want to thank you for the comments about my July 4th pictures and the quote too.
I viewed the tulip photo book and I love it!!!! It was a book that I love viewing...you know me all too well. Thanks for sending me the link.
Yes as of now we have plans to go tho the Central Park Zoo. Can you believe we have never been there? Let's hope it doesn't rain. I shall of course take lots of photos to share with me S/F friends.
Please take care we care about you & don't want you to be sad and down. XOXOXO
7/9/2009 4:53:13 AM - 001003494861
Hi Lisa, Thanks for stopping by and leaving such nice comments...and apparently telling everyone else!! I was stunned that so many people stopped by and mentioned your name. Thanks again. Fireworks are just a lot of fun to photograph. They aren't too hard to shoot and, as you know, the results can be really surprising. I'm glad you enjoyed them. Just think: Manual exposure, f11@ 4 sec, ISO 200(on my camera), a sturdy tripod and lots of memory on your card.
Just starting to work on the pictures from the boys first trip...and trying to get ready for the second! I hope to have some posted soon. Hope all is well, but it sounds like things could be better for you. I'll keep you in thought and prayer. Talk to you soon. -Michael
7/9/2009 1:56:08 AM - 001059933021
Heartfelt thanks...for adding my name to your list of outstanding members.
7/8/2009 6:27:06 PM - 001024320926
That's a great song Julie, I'm still singing it :)
7/7/2009 4:04:09 AM - 000031826072
Hey Sweetness - I hate hearing that you are having problems of any kind.......we don't know how to act when our Lisa is not her bright, sunny sunshiney self. Computer problems are so annoying. I, too, am so jealous that Barb got to meet you in person. I want a big 'ole Texas hug. Take care of yourself chickie - all will be better soon - I promise. Now sing along with me, you are beautiful my sweet, sweet song....."
7/7/2009 2:50:55 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa dahling, sorry to hear about your comp probs and Miss Kyleigh. Hope all is ok. Sorry you Monday was pretty chittty too. Hang in there and know I'm thinking of u!
Big ol hugs to u!
I LOVE your header! So cool. Take care chickie!
7/7/2009 1:50:11 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, Love the pictures of you and Barb together. I am so jealous she got to meet you in person. :) I want to meet this wonderful person named Lisa "Gigi". Some day I'm coming to Texas! LOVE the header! I am so proud to be American!
7/7/2009 1:16:02 AM - 001024320926
Connie between the internet and Kyleigh (long story) I'm not having such a good day :( I'll try to call tomorrow, just not up to good social skills tonight, sorry :(
7/7/2009 1:14:41 AM - 001024320926
Kay Mastro, I tried to get to your site but it didn't work for me. If you stop by again help me out with your address, I would love to visit you and check out your site!!
7/6/2009 7:34:50 PM - 001038348079
Hey there....Where are you? Do I need to get on a plane and come find you? Or I could call the Police to do a welfare check.
7/6/2009 2:58:54 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, GREAT HEADER, WOW!!! I love it. Hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. I'll have some new photos on my gallery site by tomorrow. And I'll have a new quote for you too on your Quote Page.
7/6/2009 2:12:35 PM - 002055694880
Hey H. I'm sorry that you are having so many computer problems. I feel your pain. Not to long ago I was having them! LOL!
It really sucks when you have an addiction (to Shutterfly) and then start having withdraws because it is something you can do nothing about. Hang in there. Make your phone calls like we talked about and find out information.....Hang in there!
7/6/2009 2:03:20 AM - 002049843840
I feel so sorry for Roddick, he came so close to winning and it was against Federer. "Rodg" was talking about how he knew how Andy felt because he lost to Nadal last year in a really close match......well Mr. Federer that was like pooring salt into a wound, you have won Wimbledon like 50 times......he makes me sick.
Jamie so what if were sports goobers.....we know what real entertainment is don't we Lisa :)
7/5/2009 9:49:08 PM - 002025703401
I'm home and you two are sports goobers (groupies)....
7/5/2009 7:00:49 PM - 001024320926
Roddick lost to Federer, it was an awesome match that I hated to see Federer win :( Roddick looked so good, the best he's ever played, the best. Some day he'll win Wimbledon and you'll be to hear me screaming for miles.
7/5/2009 4:51:04 AM - 002049843840
Hey I totally understand.....when I first started watching baseball and my Braves were losing, they had runners on base and was waiting for the big hit to put them ahead....I would literally get up and leave the room because I was so nervous I couldn't watch....I'm not as bad now, I just get upset and turn the channel.....or yell at the tv, that always works ya know!!!
7/5/2009 4:33:34 AM - 001024320926
I think being a sports nut is much like riding the big ol scary rides at Six Flags or jumping out of planes. I get that emotionally involved!!! Except if something goes wrong I don't fall to my death as a result!! :):)
7/5/2009 2:33:11 AM - 002049843840
Left you a message on my page, should have put it here.....but by the time I thought of it, it was to long for me to rewrite.....just call me lazy.
Hope your having a great and relaxing weekend!!
GO RODDICK!!!!!! I have confidence he can take care of Federer....say goodbye to my fingernails....LOL
7/4/2009 3:46:08 AM - 001024320926
Goooo Roddick Gooooo!!! He can beat Federer I know he can!!
7/4/2009 1:02:56 AM - 002049843840
Yeah!!!! Finally another final, although it will be against Federer. Believe me I will be watching and praying. Roddick makes me so nervous sometimes.....he is such a cutie isn't he?
Didn't go to the lake, to hot. Just hanging here, maybe we will do some shopping. Still recovering from my vacation. What about you?? Are you recovered yet?
7/3/2009 4:30:37 PM - 001024320926
Goooooo Roddick!!!
7/3/2009 12:53:20 AM - 002049843840
Hey Lisa, you gonna watch Roddick play tomorrow? I'm so glad I'm off of work to watch him, hopefully he will actually win (he usually loses when I watch). :)
Hope you have a great weekend! Do you have any plans? We are going to the lake tomorrow, after tennis of course....LOL!
7/2/2009 9:37:53 PM - 000074469281
Lisa is the sweetest person and she would make a great Cyber host. Jean told me that Lisa suggested she'd be next in line!! (haha - i don't know for sure!)

When are you going to Vancouver? Traveling lady!!
I just checked out your Galeveston photos. Love them and it looks like such a blast. I made a comment on one of the seashells - kind of a joke for Starla! I love Kyleigh in everyone's shoes. She's so cute and Starla's girls are oh so cute too!!
6/24/2009 10:27:19 PM - 002025703401
I think your memory is going.... Where did you get the less than a month?
And travel is the cure for insanity..... brought on by relatives, coworkers, and real life..... :)
Safe Travels and Have Fun in Vancouver!!!
6/24/2009 10:16:30 PM - 001024320926
Hey someone is only a month 'O' less than me!! Guys I thought that travel was the cure not the cause :)
6/24/2009 7:58:04 PM - 001076975951

6/18/2009 6:59:40 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Love the sunflowers. Beautiful and FIY the sunflower is Victoria's favorite flower. Great addition to this page.
6/18/2009 4:48:47 PM - 001024320926
That flower was about 2 foot over my head :) it took everything I had to get the camera to see it. I know they aren't great but those flowers were so incredible, I was blown away :)
6/18/2009 2:37:12 PM - 002029331419
Look at that great Sunflower!! And a buddy on it too!:0)
6/17/2009 10:14:29 PM - 000074469281

6/17/2009 4:38:42 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa - thanks for the great comments as always! I worked on that camping page til after midnight! I didn't start til 10:30 - it looks kind of crowded! Talk to u soon...have a good day!
6/17/2009 4:35:24 PM - 000093706714
Hey Lisa! Thanks for the Michigan locations. We have visited a few of them...but as soon as my guardian gives me the green light for moving around and getting out more, I will suggest to him that we do some local traveling! Hugs!
6/17/2009 3:43:23 PM - 001024320926
That is a great quote!! I love it :) :)
Jean I knew they were lilys but I didn't know what kind :) I like their coloring, that's what made me get back out of the car and look at them closer, then get the camera out for a picture. Your story about the dog makes me think of my Shanta daisies. I had a beautiful bunch of daisies that came up every year and every I would get mad as heck at our dog for ruining them. I went to the feed store and bought an organic powder that helped :) It had peppers in it, I sprinkled it all over the ground behind and around my daisies. About 10 minutes later Claude, our dog, was whining and crying in the front yard, he had a face full of powder. He left my flowers alone after that :) :)
6/17/2009 3:14:54 PM - 002029331419
LOL!!! Joanne.... That's a great quote!!
Lisa - your Tiger Lilys are really pretty !! I remember my Mom's growing by the house - she was so excited when they were about to bloom....then the dog would lay on them because it was nice a cool - she'd be soo mad!! ha ha!!
6/17/2009 2:31:18 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, Before I head on out I want to leave you with a quote;
Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead
Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
6/17/2009 11:52:06 AM - 002055694880

6/16/2009 12:34:34 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, remember me? Feels like forever. I thought your moon pics turned out great. Glad Dave didn't see mine (yet)! They are beyond horrible, but oh well - we are trying. Hey I heard you wanted to sell your son this weekend?? Was he not being a good boy! I'm gonna go check out more of your site. Sure wish the managers would stop by - my screen door is not sliding easily at all. My Gerbera Daisies got more flowers when I got home yesterday. They are so pretty!!
6/15/2009 11:45:05 PM - 001061427203
ok i am so proud of myself, i sat down long enough tonight to get the fridge picture uploaded and onto your site. Galveston again huh, well have a great time, who wouldn't want to go back to the beach. I think i actaully have a weekend of just me. I cant not remember the last time that happened. Tom is going to his parents for a few days and i am staying home to clean. I dont even care if i clean all day, i have the entire place to myself......whooohooooo. Not i am sure a few hours after they leave i will be missing them to death, but them i will remember i can sleep past 6am, oooooohhhhhhh how nice that will be :)
6/15/2009 8:11:19 PM - 002055694880
Hey there H! JUST IN CASE we get seperated or sumthin I got three different maps!!

Then I got individual streets and then the writen directions...well the printed text ones...you know what I mean! WOO I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Excited!! Already packing!
6/15/2009 7:32:58 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I just added my botanical garden photo book to your site. thanks for including me.
P.S. Lisa I want to share some news. Victoria just received a call for an interview this Wednesday. It is at the office where she use to intern during one semester in college. It is The Mayor's Office of TV, Film & Broadcasting. She loved it there when she worked at the office. And she loved the people too. I want to thank you for always keeping Victoria in your prayers. I do appreciate it very much.
6/15/2009 4:38:44 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Stopping by to say Hello. Hope you weekend was good. Sorry about the HOT weather.. My husband hates the hot and humid weather. He loves the temps to be in the 60's. I like 70's to mid 80's. Mother Nature can be mean at times. How is Miss Kyleigh?
Have a good day and I'll visit tomorrow ...I'm going to have a quick lunch and then have to head out. Enjoy your Monday.
6/15/2009 1:26:21 PM - 002058326073
Lisa, I love the new picture of Kyliegh on the header section. My son is a teenager now "in every sense of the word" and sure miss those days when he was so precious and happy with such simple things. ha.ha. My friends assure me I will get through this time in his life. I am sure one of us will survive but the question is which one of us. He is as strong-minded as I was at that age. I have always heard you pay for your raising. I was so sure that our relationship was good enough we would never go through this "teenage" time. Although supportive while in front of my son Grandma (my mom) just laughs and says "I told you someday when you had children you would know how it felt". ha..ha.. At least somebody is laughing. But what do I know because to hear my son you would think I am a dinasour. LOL
6/14/2009 11:06:43 PM - 000031826072
Sorry to hear it's been so hot down there - I know you don't care for that. It was absoloutely PERFECT here yesterday - sunny with just a slight breeze about in the lower 80's. Unfortunately, it was so beautiful that I basked in the sun a bit too much and got sunburned, so I'm dowsing myself in aloe vera gel today. Today is cloudy and rainy and 77 so I've been stayng inside nursing the sunburn and cleaning house. Hope it cools down a bit for you, girl!
6/14/2009 1:08:15 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, How is your weekend going so far. I will be adding new photos to my gallery site later today. We went to the rose garden @ the NY botanical garden yesterday. Mother Nature rained on us, after thinking we would see some sunshine. I guess not. And I'll add my fridge photo too.
6/12/2009 8:36:43 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I have been in and out all day. Just want to stop by a wish you a wonderful weekend. What is on the agenda for your weekend? I'm sorry about all the bad weather you have received and hope it stops raining. Enjoy and I'll catch you tomorrow.
6/12/2009 8:15:29 PM - 002071387328
Hi Lisa! Not much success with the moon I see, but keep trying! If your camera has a program mode try some of the settings I gave. Thanks for your lovely words on my journal, I was feeling a bit sorry for myself when I wrote that entry, but you have made me realise I am not alone in those thoughts. Have a wonderful weekend!
6/12/2009 1:31:06 PM - 001024320926
You should see the trinity where I cross coming to work............very flooded. Still have power lines down in this area.
6/12/2009 1:14:00 PM - 002055694880
Hey H! Do you know when I was talking to you yesterday it was just a pouring. And then I seen on the news where it flooded because of the pump breaking by the trinity river......scary stuff!
6/12/2009 3:07:18 AM - 001024320926
For sure Joey, let's try with the advice Dave gave us :)
6/12/2009 2:49:06 AM - 000074469281
Oh my gosh, u changed things around. I'm behind on the sites. hey your moon pics are pretty good - sure beat mine. I do have the AV & TV setting on my camera that you all were talking about on Jamie's site. I guess we can practice practice.
6/11/2009 11:46:36 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I will add my fridge photo next week so keep an eye out for it. You are having storms too. We have had an entire week of rain. Enough is enough!!
6/11/2009 11:17:43 PM - 002073432243

6/11/2009 5:56:45 PM - 001024320926
Bad storms here today, our office just lost electric. I'm on a laptop so it didn't hurt me.
6/11/2009 1:29:45 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, I added a Share page on my travel site. I would love to have you share a photo book or any group of photos you like.... any topic you want. Have a great evening. By the way where do I add my fridge photo when I do upload it?
6/10/2009 10:44:26 PM - 002020781938
Thanks yeah it got featured I was soooooo happy I ran in and woke up Stewy at like 6am and told him - I dont think he was very impressed! Yeah Stewy loves dressing Isabelle up in Sports clothing! She is such a good little girl! :)
6/10/2009 9:20:53 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Still cold and deary here in the Big apple.. This is not June weather, but mother nature better make up for it in the coming weeks. Yes I did like Up but from now on I'll be more selective when I go to the movies. Blue ray I hear that has excellent quality and my hubby wants to upgrade. men and their gadgets...Someday.
No word yet for Victoria still waiting for calls. the search continues. I just am glad she lives at home and doesn't have rent and major bills to worry about. The movie guesses were correct and I'm heading to your movie page next.
have a good evening and I shall return tomorrow.
6/10/2009 1:18:30 PM - 002055694880
HAHAHA Joey it is Jeff Gordon....no Jr. Yes he is still racing unfortunatley!!! I am not a big fan of his. Hey H! I am off to go do windows. Uploading is going. I figured that since only forty was taking a while I would just put them all on there and last time I checked there was 190 left to go out of 240. So we are going slowly but surely. Check ya later homie!
6/10/2009 2:13:19 AM - 000074469281
Guess what Jeff Gordan Jr. is on Regis & Kelly!! I'm so out of touch w/ Nascar - is he still racing? I guess if I pd attention to what he was saying, i might know!!
6/9/2009 11:02:40 PM - 001024320926
Aunt Bea can handle it LOL!!!
6/9/2009 10:54:31 PM - 000074469281

Hello, what a wounderful site, I like your pictures, and your words through the site is fantastic, have a nice day, thanks also for your coments on my site, have a nice day
6/9/2009 1:11:53 AM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa......How are you? You and all the gang make me feel like a slacker when I get busy and aren't around as much as some of you lately! And as soon as I tune out for awhile you and Joey and Starla have all kinds of new fabulous photobooks!!!!! Woohoo! Absloutely love the two latest of Kyleigh - that baby girl is soooooo adorable and the latest books are perfection - simple and beautiful. I have been busy getting into my summer mode. Looks like your Galveston trip was awesome - it was a poor excuse not to be home watchng Jimmie whip up on your boys, tho! JIMMIE IS THE CHAMPION!!! Gotta love a winner.....Ok so he slipped at the end last weekend, but I never got to gloat over his victory the weekend before, so i have to now.... Thanks so much for stopping by so faithfully and all the inspirational comments...you ROCK. I am getting back logged on all the photobooks I need to do...it gets so hard for me this time of year because I'm a summer girl and long to be out basking in the sun and boating around the lake. But I'll get to some new books before too much longer. Hope you have a glorious week!
6/8/2009 3:12:01 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa. I bet it is hard to have Kyleigh leave on Sundays. You two share a special bond. I see there's another person you are trying to track down. Good luck!!
Talk to u Monday. I'm exhausted...
6/7/2009 9:27:24 PM - 001076975951
Lisa here is a quote for you: Conscience keeps more people awake than coffee. I don't know who said it...But I like it.
6/7/2009 7:23:54 PM - 001024320926
Caryn Ruthier Please email me at lisajrfan@yahoo.com, the guestmap doesn't reveal your email address to me. I would love to visit your site and I would love to help you in any way that I can. I hope you get this message.
6/6/2009 2:19:10 PM - 000074469281
Good morning Sunshine
6/5/2009 5:15:05 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, me again! I had to laugh because i saw your comment on Dave's site telling him about Barry's site. I told him the exact thing in an email. Great minds think alike.
I love Gerbre (sp?) Daisies too. Thought i better take pictures before they die. I took a trick from you and shot from the underneath. Turned out kind of cool - i'm a work in progress.
Catch ya later
6/5/2009 5:01:05 PM - 000074469281
How frustrating Shannon!!
Hey Lisa, I haven't given my sister her book, yet. I received it the day it was featured and I hope I can wait until her bday!!
Thanks for your comments!
6/5/2009 4:52:57 PM - 001061427203
Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i have shutterfly and my email provider disagreeing on whose issue it is. My email provider is telling me they dont block anything and they see not issues and that it is a problem on Shutterfly's end. The first lady i spoke with at Shutterfly was a pain in my ass...not helpful what soooooooooo ever....worst than those nicel non speaking english gentlemen i spoke about earlier. I told her i wanted to speak with someone else and she connected me to the main office.....not sure what i was to begin with. Anyways i spoke with an absolutely wonderful man from shutterfly (David Pilter...or something like that), he spoke english and at my level. We even had a few laughs over the phone.......but in the end no luck, still not working :(. He told me the main tech would be in tomorrow (which is today) and he would look at my account and see if he could find the problem. He has said they have had some issues with my email provider in the past....so no resolution and glad the weekend is coming...thanks for the little laugh, your comment was cracking me up
We are heading out on the boat tomorrow, hopefully with my dad if he can find the time...he finds it difficult to relax, though i think my step mom almost has him talked into it.
have a great weekend
Shannon
6/5/2009 3:39:00 PM - 000074469281
Hi ya Lisa. Thanks for the comment on my book. You always have such kind words. Have a great day and talk to u soon.
6/4/2009 5:38:00 PM - 001076975951
Lisa,, Did your meeting go well this morning? And how is the scrub nurse search coming along? Do you have a person in mind from the interviews? Hope all goes well.
6/4/2009 10:11:28 AM - 002055694880
H!!! Fabulous new books. I really like them both. They are so simple. No words but express so much with that little girls face. Fabulous!
6/4/2009 3:47:19 AM - 002025703401
I like your new books! Finally had a chance to look. Travel fever is making me crazy.....
6/3/2009 11:45:35 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Yes I read the instructions to the Christmas cards and how to post them. I will give it a try this year. Thanks for the 411 and if I need help I know you'll be there to help.
6/3/2009 9:47:00 PM - 001024320926
You're absolutely right!! There are not cures for this condition, only regular treatments.
6/3/2009 9:30:25 PM - 002025703401
Salt air, fresh mountain air, city smog, or any other air seems to calm the fever. But the cure only lasts about 24 hours, then the fever returns.......
6/3/2009 8:16:21 PM - 001024320926
Raging fever and the only treatment is a trip to the beach on the 20th :)
6/3/2009 5:57:32 PM - 002029331419
Yah Know Lisa... Posting those great pics of your trip..just last weekend has just stirred up that Travel Fever Virus - and it's a spreading amongst the TFC something crazy.....
6/3/2009 4:23:17 PM - 001024320926
Jamie's working on the plan!!!
6/3/2009 3:09:15 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa! Just wanted to drop in and wish you a fabulous day. I'll b back later!!
6/3/2009 1:12:22 PM - 001024320926
Been to Corpus but not Port Aransas, I really want to go to Padre Island, my travel book says it's amazing :) :)
6/3/2009 11:48:31 AM - 002025703401
Hey Lisa! Have you ever been to the Corpus and Port Aransas area?
6/3/2009 2:39:46 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I am good. Thanks for checking in! I really like the header of Kyleigh at the ocean! Future bikini model! Hope you're recovering from your travels! You have been one busy girl lately!!! Going to look around a little. Have a good week!
6/3/2009 12:35:20 AM - 002025703401

6/1/2009 11:05:50 PM - 001024320926
Jamie, I'm tired, just a tic sunburned and my legs are killing me but I had a great time :) We rented those 4 seater bikes with a canopy and drove up and down the seawall, it was hilarious and I loved it!! Can't wait to post the pictures!!

Hey social director Snaps, I hope you made it back safe with out getting put in jail for taking photos of places or things. hee hee hee....I'd of never arrested you...I'd of probably stopped traffic for you! ( I was the nice copper) LOL. Not a good night here...Will is working ot and Alyssa woke up barfing a few min ago. I had to change the bed, clean up barf, and give her a bath. Lucky me....I guess I should get to bed in case the little one wakes up sick again...you know Mom's and Grandma's get no sleep when their little one is sick.
One cool thing...I saw TWO Woody wood peckers out there tonight...TWO huge birds....I can't wait to get that lens. I hope i'm not INSANE for getting it. I almost feel bad for buying it for myself! Ok, I'll email you tomorrow....

Hey Lisa, sorry I missed you before you left. Thats funny you said you were on the computer but were supposed to be packing! Hope you had a fun weekend!
5/29/2009 9:35:37 PM - 002058326073
Hi Lisa, thanks for taking the time to get back with me and to view my site. Your kind words are appreciated. You ask me about the camera I am using. It is a Nikon D80. It was a Christmas gift from my mother. Christmas was VERY GOOD this year at mom's house. Something I have wanted for many years. I felt like a little girl again because I was so excited with my "christmas surprise". Our summer season starts tonight so check back again soon for new pictures. I am hoping to start another site with something unrelated to sports. Your site inspires me. Thanks and hope you have a great weekend and enjoy your trip. I will be anxious to see what new photos you add.

5/29/2009 5:04:05 PM - 000074469281

Lisa, Just making my morning visit to wish you a HAPPY FRIDAY...I'm heading over to the Postcard Page....I love visiting there. I'll be by later to talk some more.
5/29/2009 12:01:32 AM - 001061427203
Lisa, wow you little travel bug...LOL! Have tons of fun in Galveston, i have had the first hand opportuity to see damage hurricanes have done to areas in florida and wow it is not pretty. My gram lives not too awfully far from Port Charlette, FL that was hit some years back and we drove through town about 8 months after and it still looked like it had just happend....very sad.
Thank you for the well wishes and just hearing positives has been a relief. We are dealing right now but hopefully the situation will get betterp; its just sad that SO many people are going through the same thing. We have to just keep our heads up and hope for the best.
Oh meant to tell you last week, Brady is done swim lessons for now. We will probably start up again in the fall/winter. I would hate to be inside when we only have a few months of nice weather here.
5/28/2009 10:46:11 PM - 002058326073
The old saying of a "picture is worth a million words" sounds like a cliche' but so true of your header picture.
I checked on your site today and saw where you had a note saying you didn't know how to get back with me. You can reach me at mrchambers@cox.net or can go to my photo site www.sapulpachieftainbaseball.shutterfly.com
Thanks for sharing the great pictures.

5/27/2009 11:24:26 PM - 000040317923
Thank you for your sweet comments on my Julie/Brandon photos, Lisa. Everyone should have photo subjects as patient, cooperative and gracious (and goergous) as they are.
I love the header photo here - and am just in love with all of your fantastic quotes. I'm a quote girl myself - gotta go run and find a pen so I can do some "quotelifting". Have a great day! Stacey
5/27/2009 11:21:34 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, I LOVE MY SURPRISE!!! You are just the BEST! I can't wait to show Kaylee her picture ON YOUR HOME PAGE! She loves to look at "her" Shutterfly page with all her pictures. How do you like her hair? Her hair gets so full of static when she is in the house. We get to laughing at how crazy it will start looking. I took some more pictures of "Kaylee's house" I guess I better post them huh? That's bad that "Gigi" beat "Oma". :) Stacey will see now she really did come to the right place for help. Stacey, I also came to Lisa to jump start my site. She has been my biggest inspiration since the day I first saw her site. Now she has become a wonderful friend to me!!!!
5/27/2009 6:44:59 PM - 000031826072
Your new header is heartwarming....love, love, love it!!!!!!!! Those that are serving our country deserve so much credit and love!
5/27/2009 6:28:12 PM - 001024320926
Stacey I would love to help you. You can email me at lisajrfan@yahoo.com or email me using shutterfly. Just let me know. Thanks so much for stopping by :)
Lisa
5/27/2009 6:26:38 PM - 001024320926
Jamie, that's a blank check...right? Can you cash a triple post dated, two party slightly suspicious check?
5/27/2009 6:22:20 PM - 002025703401
Stacey came to the right place... Lisa is crazy but nice and helpful... :) (Lisa - I expect my check to be in the mail!)

Lisa, your header is AMAZING. What a wonderful tribute to these men. You have a heart of gold. Sorry you had a headache yesterday. I didn't even make it around to the sites yesterday and hardly the Gallery. I'm working on a book..
I'll have to stop back later and visit your fun site more. Hope you are feeling better today. Do u have a new book in Gallery? I thought I saw somewhere that you had one out, but couldn't find. Have a good one, girl. Hope your weekend was good too!
5/27/2009 1:01:46 PM - 001024320926
Sure Gina I'll do that at lunch today :)

Lisa, I LOVE all your Memorial Day Service photos. Thanks so much for sharing. IKaylee and I got our TEXAS postcards today. How very thoughtful of you! I can't wait to show her, her "mail". She loves to get "mail". Sometimes we have to give her the advertisements because she loves "mail" so much. You are just the "BESTEST". I'll be back later to look again.
5/26/2009 11:00:28 PM - 001023411097
Lisa, I love your header and your Memorial day photos of the Memorial to our soldiers. Love Kyleigh! I have not even been on my computer until now. I will look around and hope you had a great weekend. I will get to everyone tomorrow. bj
5/26/2009 10:35:24 PM - 002020781938

5/26/2009 6:51:13 PM - 002029331419
Lisa...what a great header! I left a few comments...but you did a really great job of photojournaling your day! I also liked that you took close pictures of the men that are our honored Veteran's!
5/26/2009 12:30:27 PM - 002055694880
I think I am going to visit Jamie's site and look for that photo!!! Hey H! How are you this morning. Thank you for checking out my book. I was in the mood yesterday and away i went. I really like it. I am so glad that you came and ate lunch with us. Granny really loved it. Sorry about you getting stuck in that wreck but Atleast you got another photo out of it! :) Have a great day. Going to look for that photo.
5/26/2009 2:24:06 AM - 001024320926
LOL!!! Some body make it stop, LOL!! What's her number? I need to talk to her :) LOL!!
5/26/2009 1:43:18 AM - 002025703401
Hi Guys!
Jean - I think my friend Kay may have gotten a shot of me in the backyard helping my Dad chop down some dead shrubs. I was wearing shorts and my leopard print rubber boots. I may have to hurt her...
5/26/2009 1:27:25 AM - 001061427203
hey girlie, been a fun and busy weekend, will try to catch up tomorrow afternoon, have a morning meeting so i wont be on the computer until later :)
5/25/2009 8:25:04 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa. Just stopping in quick. Just got home. Had gorgeous weather Fri-Sun but Monday became kind of crummy. Lots of photos to upload! Talk to u soon.
5/25/2009 3:43:18 PM - 002055694880
Hey H!!! Camping was a blast. We had so much fun and the kids were so good! I like it when they behave :) So I have some photos on my site on the home page and on the friends page...plenty more to come. We did not get rained on. Which I am glad we came home early because we did get rain at the house on Sunday afternoon. Come see me!
5/24/2009 9:35:45 PM - 000076820331
What a fun Gigi traveling the country side taking pictures, hamging out. I can't wait to see them posted!!
5/24/2009 3:00:04 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I am happy that you received my postcard. I will check out the Postcard Gallery at the end of the week this way you will have the chance to scan and upload it. Glad to have my postcard added to your collection. Catch you tomorrow if i get a few moments of free time.
5/23/2009 10:37:15 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, Thanks for stopping in. I hope your long weekend is off to a good start. I did not get one thing accomplished so far today that I wanted to accomplish. It was one of those days I woke up and had a big schedule of yard work and all of the sudden it unraveled like a ball of yarn! My husband had trouble with his truck, I played Taxi. Needed to change the oil in my truck...... Did some errands, (not on my schedule). I had planned to run out to Ashlee's with some outfits I bought for Kaylee. When I got out there Kaylee wanted to "walk a Grinny's house". That means she wanted to walk over two blocks to my Mom's house (Granny). So at this point I said "WHY NOT I had no schedule anymore!!! So we "walked a Grinny's house". Granny loved it! :) We're going to dinner with our friends Ronnie & Priscilla shortly. I'm chalking it up for a day. I guess God didn't think I needed to work that hard today! So I didn't! (I don't feel bad about it today, maybe another day!) LOL Have a great weekend!!!!!!
5/22/2009 10:45:49 PM - 002029331419
Lisa - I want to see your flags on this site! :0) I think I'll get hubby to Veterans park on Monday...I'm pretty sure that's where the parade ends! I stopped by there earlier this week, did I already tell you? There were balloons in the sky and most plants had blooms on them...and for a small park by a Library.. I thought it was pretty nice. And benches to sit on! Ohh...a new baby giraffe at the zoo here in ABQ! I sure want to go to the zoo before it gets to hot..lots of new babies! I think our baseball game tonight might get rained out...hope not...but maybe. It's to cool and wet to paint - maybe I'll get to tomorrow. Be safe, have fun with Kyleigh and I'll be popping on and off through the weekend!
If Jamie came close to losing her shorts helping her dad yesterday - I'd sure keep my camera handy this weekend with her working in the yard! ha ha
5/22/2009 5:04:56 PM - 001024320926
Jean that's hilarious..............I see Grandpa has a sinus infection :) :) Hilarious!!
5/22/2009 5:03:52 PM - 001024320926
LOL!! Sorry I missed it but it's a wonderful accomplishment on your part.........getting smaller not dropping your pants!!!
5/22/2009 4:46:38 PM - 002025703401
I almost lost my shorts last night helping Dad move the new gas grill into his truck. Mom gave me some smaller one's to take home, so all the big ones are going in the charity bag... :) Ha!
5/22/2009 4:22:39 PM - 002029331419
Well now that whole scene would be funny! Jamie shooting video of Linda stalking butterflies and the Linda trying to catch a shot of Jamie who is now a shadow of her old self - but is probably pretty sly about when her picture is taken! LOL! I have miles of video of my Grandpa looking into the video camera to see 'if the film is running' and we mostly see his nose and chin! Ha!
5/21/2009 5:54:08 PM - 002025703401
As a matter of fact, Mom also cuts our heads off too!!! Notice, I'm leaning in most pictures of me now days. Mom sees a background she likes and points the camera there. Well, then you have to lean into her shot...
Since she got her digital camera in Feb, she is getting better. At least with taking flower pictures. Would like to have a video of her stalking butterfies...
5/21/2009 3:46:41 PM - 001024320926
Jamie you had me LOL over the finger in the picture statement. I went thru my mom's pictures a few years back and there were a hundred of those in her collection. My Granny was also famous for cutting your head and feet off. Well Granny that's a beautiful picture of my torso :) :)
Jean has one on her site that Granny took and she has one that someone took of her and her husband where the lighthouse is cut off :)
5/21/2009 2:07:18 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thanks for sharing your pictures on my showcase sharing page. LOVE THE PHOTOS!!!! Next week a new topic for the Share A Photo(S) game. I'll keep you posted.

Lisa!! I know that Balloon!! I know it! It's one that I recognize from my pictures at Fiesta last year! Yeah! I know it...It's the one that has hot air, a pilot and a gondola (basket)!! Not really...but made you look huh!! :0) LOL!!
Really though....It is so fun to look up in the sky and see one just floating on by! :) I'm soo excited for you!! I see them almost every morning around here - and I still NEVER get tired of watching them! And your fast!!! Getting them on tonight! Do you have Kyleigh tonight? All weekend?
5/21/2009 3:19:54 AM - 002025703401
Balloon Pictures = Cool
One way or another, we are going to a balloon festival this year!!! Years ago when I was a kid, one landed across the street in a pasture. Mom took pictures, but in those days every other picture had her finger or the camera strap...:0) Went with my friends to the NASA Festival back during my film days, but need to return with my digital...
5/20/2009 5:47:19 PM - 001024320926

Lisa, what is the story behind the trip being called off? Is it for all the girls at your office or just you? Sorry to hear this news. Look on the bright side, you have your passport and can travel anywhere you want. the bug has bitten you.
5/19/2009 3:04:12 PM - 001061427203

I did see you comment on several of my pics, thanks, its always fun to read others expressions:). The pic of me holding the New York City thing in the pic was actaully my subway map, i bought it about 8 years ago and am suprised it is still in 1 piece..hee hee. However, when i manage to get my butt to our local postoffice i do have one that will be showing up in your mailbox soon :).

5/18/2009 6:24:12 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, I have been to the Pancake Feed we have every year. I haven't gone since I was little simply because it is so busy. But it is something fun to do if you want to stand in line for an hour or more. I guess its not as bad if you go first thing when it opens. The pancakes are good but my dads are better! You can come for Sunday breakfast!! I'll stop back later...
5/18/2009 5:12:14 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, OMG, the time your in NY I will actaully be in Indianapolis for my friends wedding. Hope you have tons of fun, i have been several times so if you have any questions let me know.
We had a great time this past weekend, the weather was awesome one the fog cleared around 10:30; sunny and about 75. We took the Ferry ride which i had not done before, which was great......and FREE. Not sure if you have ever heard of the Naked Cowboy....he is in the news now and then....well we saw him as well.l Ran into a few things we had not yet done or seen in NYC before. Hoping to get the pics on tonight as my family is waiting for them as well....already got a email from my aunt this am asking where they were!
Sorry about the race, i wasn't able to view any of it and haven't even read the news yet to find anything out....so i hear (from you of course) that your man is now a bully as well....LOL!
Thanks for the mail, it was great, and Brady loved the elephant on the front of the postcard. Thanks a bunch, you are such a ray of sunshine :)
5/18/2009 2:00:25 AM - 000076820331
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
5/18/2009 2:00:05 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I like the Memorial Day film strip. I love the American Flag and what it stands for too! On my site on my "Dad's page", the bronze statue and the brick wall with my Dad's name on it are part of a Veteran's Memorial on the plaza in Mountainhome Ark. My Dad helped raised the money for that memorial and others throughtout the state of Arkansas. The raised over 2 million dollars towards memorials as that one. My Dad was very proud of his country and those who served. He was described as a "Veteran's Vetran" when introduced. HE WAS MY HERO!!!
5/17/2009 1:14:23 AM - 000074469281
Hey there Lisa. Hope you are having a good weekend. I already forgot what I was going to say - thanks for visiting my site. I'll have to go back to my site and figure out what I wanted to say. i'm losing it! Love the American flag. I should do that. YOU have so many great ideas. I'll be back!
Joey
5/15/2009 1:24:06 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE the American flag. BEAUTIFUL. And Lisa wonderful travel quote. Thanks.
5/14/2009 8:01:43 PM - 001024320926
The only time I bring the flag in is when it's raining. I love the American flag :) I stand with my right hand over my heart for the national anthem too :)

Lisa....Love the Memorial!! Your flags were nice too! I love Memorial Day weekend and each morning I get our flag out! Love it! Thank You Troops!! Love Ya!! All ya all's
5/14/2009 1:23:11 AM - 002055694880
Did I tell you that I love this book. I've seen it on your photobook page but I just love it.
5/14/2009 1:22:36 AM - 002055694880
Hello Lisa. Since everyone else is calling you that I guess I should to. How was your day? Mine was long and long. Had a huge house to clean after I went to a mtg after I worked all day. Man I'm tired!
5/13/2009 6:54:08 PM - 000074469281
Hey lisa. Everytime I see Miss Kyleigh blowing her nose, it brings a huge smile to my face. Thanks for the comments throughout my site. I just whipped up the Mother's Day collage - Madeline cracked me ip in her get-up. Anyway, I'll stop back again soon. Love your site!! Your message above is perfect. have a great day Miss Guru
5/13/2009 6:26:45 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, great new profile picture and Kyleigh looks so much like you. She is a mini Lisa. Love your home page from the header to all the slideshows. Just BEAUTIFUL!!!
5/13/2009 2:49:50 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I really like the new profile pic of you and Kyleigh. She is such a cutie! I think her and Kaylee would have a great time together! Me & you too!
5/13/2009 1:40:18 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, Found your new pictures....very nice. :-) Thanks for the fork in the road quote... Very funny. Should I go left or right, I am not sure.
Lisa, I must tell you that 2 pages that are a must visit for me on your site are the Showcase and the Postcard pages. I visit them every week and every time I get a thrill seeing them Just FABULOUS!!!!
5/13/2009 1:30:40 AM - 001061427203
so i checked out all your new photos but i coudn't seem to find the one with you posing with that nice officer....lol!

Fun Pics from your trip into town...and you all did 'clean up pretty good! ;0) Don't ya think Jamie? LOL! I commented on a few of the pictures....but just didn't see any of those paparazzi that was following you around that day!?! You did get one with that nice fellow with the "purty badge & good fittin hat" right? ....nahhhh I didn't think so!!! LOL!!
5/12/2009 5:31:29 PM - 000074469281

5/10/2009 11:02:35 PM - 002025703401
Read your journal - try not to get arrested taking pictures!!
Vancouver List - Stanley Park, Granville Island, Aquarium, Gastown, Chinatown, Old Spaghetti Factory, Boathouse Restaurant, Queen Elizabeth Park, Capilano Suspension Bridge. If you have time, ferry to Victoria and Butchart Gardens (the most beautiful gardens we have ever visited) or a day trip to Whistler, site of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
5/10/2009 7:33:23 PM - 001061427203

Vancouver restaurant - www.boathouserestaurants.ca
The English Bay location is across the street from a park where everyone comes out to watch the sunset. Beautiful! I had dungeness crab and Mom had stuffed salmon. Also, excellent clam chowder to start.
5/9/2009 12:19:29 AM - 002055694880
Hey H! Happy Mother's Day to you as well. Can't stay long have to go to Denton. Transporting Sam. Celulitice not sure if I spelled that right but the infection may be in his bone. Can't catch a break. Got a hole in my net!
5/8/2009 9:39:10 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Very good you knew all 3 movies. Thanks for playing along. And I do appreciate all the good wishes and prayers that Victoria will soon be employed. Your good vibes are being felt. Loved your quote too. Catch you tomorrow.
5/8/2009 12:39:40 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I'll have the anniversary photos on my gallery site this afternoon. Stop on by.
5/7/2009 2:57:18 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, thanks for sharing on the fun & games page. The food looks yummy.
5/7/2009 1:45:32 AM - 001061427203
ahhh, work is draining me. i am so sorry i haven't been around in a few days, trying to really hunker down at work....which is the usual time i browse sites :). I promise tomorrow i will set a side a few minutes to catch up :). However i will first head over the important page before heading to bed........LOL
5/7/2009 12:57:15 AM - 002025703401
Lisa - I am TexasJam on CC. Jamie
5/6/2009 8:31:27 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I'll be looking for you once you sign up at Cruise Critic. I think you like it there. And don't forget the Photo threads you'll really get a kick out of it.
5/6/2009 3:05:47 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Once again you are correct on the movie game. Well done. Hope you are doing well today as is you family. I'll catch you later have to go for an oil change.
5/5/2009 8:44:43 PM - 002025703401
Lisa, just wanted to check-in and say Hi! I am supposed to be working... ;) Jamie
5/4/2009 7:47:16 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa! Ya know...I sure can spend a lot of time checking out your site....because I never have enough time to write what I want to before I need to go! :0) Is that a good thing!?! ha ha What are those flowers on a stem...the white ones that look like an umbrella? Yeah...those?!
Sorry to hear that your electricity was knocked out! And..training camp for the Cowboys! So Sad!! Wow....!
We even got rain on Saturday!! But it's clear and sunny and should get to be about 90 by the end of the week!...I'll try and pass a little on down to you ok?
5/3/2009 4:04:52 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I guess you were living like an Amish family for some hours. It kind of can be romantic with some candles and darkness. Glad your lights are back.
5/1/2009 11:05:51 PM - 002055694880
Hey H! The funeral was a sucess today. It was nice to see his daughter that came from Arizona. And all my other cousins. The service was nice and the rain held off. SEE ya
5/1/2009 9:38:47 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, My first film was TUCK EVERLASTING. Have you ever ever heard of it? It was a family and fantasy film. Music is really beautiful.
5/1/2009 8:43:23 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Doing some cleaning up and rearranging on my site and saw that you left a message on my Slideshow Page. Yes before you know it i will be adding my cruise photos. And then as soon as I add them I'll let you know. Enjoy your weekend. Wishing you sunny days and snapshot moments.
5/1/2009 3:39:16 PM - 002006650227
Hi! Thanks for visiting my site and leaving such sweet comments. :) Joey seems great, I'm just starting to meet people on here. I love all of your pictures, you are a great photographer! Nice to meet you!
4/30/2009 9:37:31 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - I forgot to mention how much those Elvis/Kyleigh pics crack me up....too funny. Love 'em! Yep, I'm trying to save for a new camera, but it might be awhile - I have so many other things that are screaming for my $$ right now! But in the meantime, I'm looking for lots of tips on the best DSLR to get, so if you have strong opinions - I'd love to hear 'em, both from you and all the other Guru's and S/F peeps! Hope you are having an awesome day, girlie!
4/30/2009 7:28:19 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thanks for the newest quote. I always enjoy seeing what quote you have left for me. I enjoy reading them over and over again. And the flowers you added to the Fun & Games page are AWESOME!!!! I love them all. Next week or so I'll add a new topic. See you later.
4/30/2009 1:36:46 PM - 002055694880
Hey H! Have about thirty minutes before I have to leave to clean. So I am looking around. I saw the bad photo section on Jean's page and that is tooo funny. Does everyone know that the one with the head and feet cut off is YOU! :) They do now LOL! Can you hear me laughin?!? Anyway...gonna squeeze in two houses today before the funeral tomorrow. Holler later!
4/29/2009 7:21:24 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa...Kyleigh n Elvis....LOL!! How Cute!! And she is really concentrating on those ABCD Blocks! The Bluebird contest looks like a lot of fun for the family! I had to laugh at the sitting on the curb for lunch pictures....when we were in Boston and stopped for lunch at Quincy Square...not a table anywhere...so we found a little hall and just sat on the floor and relaxed and ate lunch! I think we looked a little out of place...but oh well! Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, right? LOL!And I have to say....MY how Your Garden Is Growing!! :0)
4/29/2009 3:47:16 AM - 001034648809
HI LISA!!!! I'm so glad you had fun with us at the Relay! Hope you join us next year!
4/29/2009 1:06:19 AM - 002055694880
HI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4/28/2009 7:17:59 PM - 001076975951
Hi there Lisa, Been out most of the day.. Taking some photos and hope to have them posted later today maybe tomorrow. We got lucky today another warm and sunny day..
4/28/2009 4:42:25 PM - 000074469281
Love the Bluebird festival pictures - and you even saw Elvis!! Woo-hoo! Kyleigh is so cute. Love the one of her blowing her nose!! What a litle pumpkin!
4/28/2009 3:48:54 AM - 000031826072
The Blubebird festival looked very cool. Ride 'em Cowgirl Kyleigh! Lofve the new pics of Miss K playing, too! I just wanna grab her and kidnap her home with me (bet everyone does....such a little sweetie pie.) I just smile BIG everytime I see a picture of her.
4/27/2009 1:34:12 AM - 001038348079
I know you have to be so tired...long wknd! Poor thing! I can't wait to see ALL the pictures! I took a daisy picture for you today! (Cuz I know its your fav) LOL buddy....I need to go study! Wed is the day i'm teaching the body safety class (4 classes) at Alyssa's school. (first time i've taught it)
4/27/2009 12:44:20 AM - 002059624475
Lisa, you've been a workin'. Nice touch with Kayleigh's photos and I love the "Hoppy" for your Easter strip. I love looking @ your site. I get great inspiration :)
4/26/2009 8:25:54 PM - 001077603962

Lisa, Tomorrow is your RFL! I will be thinking of you and your team with it's "heavy hearts". Please give Lorri a big hug for me I truly know that ache in her heart. God has surrounded her with good people! XO
4/24/2009 12:50:41 AM - 002010581426

I LOVE the fingerprints! Brings back lots of memories. And how cute was Kyleigh at Easter!!!

PS - new game is up
4/23/2009 2:07:37 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I look forward to your new quote this week. I'll be searching for one to add to your site. New movie clue up today and I am off to see your clues. Hope I get it today.
4/23/2009 1:09:24 AM - 002055694880
Hey H I'm here. I have time tonight but not because the kids are being good. Regan went down to see Aunt B and the wind caught the screen door and SMACKED her in the forehead. Well she has been asleep from crying so hard since about 7. It is now 8 and I am NOT waking her up. Gonna take a look around.
4/22/2009 8:09:14 PM - 000085599530
Hi Lisa... You are the best in making the site rounds. I am so bad at it. Thanks for stopping by. I am loving my new camera..stop by again and check out my flower page. Also Disney was great. Read carefully on my page....I gave thanks to a very special person too. You sweetie in the pink swing is the best!
4/22/2009 5:27:50 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, This weekend I am going to see State of fair with Ben Affleck & Russell Crowe. Seeing a movie and then discussing it on the sites sounds really like a cool idea. I just checkout your Showcase page, and Lisa...I LOVE IT!!! Great job on sharing those snapshots from all the fellow Shutterfly members. I always visit that page. It is a wonderful place to stop in and visit.
4/21/2009 8:01:17 PM - 001038348079
Love the new swing pictures...So adaorable! (speaking of adorable. Mason is being silly right now and making me laugh!) LoL just checking in....can't stay got a monkey on my lap.
4/21/2009 7:49:20 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, my shutterfly pal, Guessing one movie is good. You are a pro at that game. I'm the one who gets stumped from time to time. Glad that Shannon joined in too. Jean she is a hoot and always glad to have her on board. How is your day going? Keeping out of trouble. I'll be by tomorrow. Have a great afternoon.
4/21/2009 1:14:44 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I LOVE the swinging pictures of Kyleigh in the header. She is so adorable!
4/20/2009 11:06:30 PM - 002055694880
Hey 'H'! How's it going? I love the photos of Kyleigh in the swing. They are wonderful and her expressions are fabulous. Thought I would get on here and let you konw we got away last nite. It's the little things in life that brings us the most joy! Gotta love kids. (and grandkids although I don't hope to have any any time soon. ) Talk to ya later!
4/20/2009 6:00:59 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa! Wow - you finished a new book! It's awesome! I'll have to go find it in Gallery and comment on it there, too. So Kyleigh was in a wedding this weekend or just attended? Either way, bet she stole the show.
I totally agree that the race was disappointing this weekend! My two guys didn't do nearly as well as I had hoped, either! Brandon is now in some Fantasy Nascar league, so we was happy because he has to pick several drivers (besides his guys) and they all placed in the top 10 this weekend. this means he's currently #1 in his fantasy league.
I've been a bad girl on the Jessica class - still haven't even started yet. My eye was hurting and kind of messed up all last week, so I had to limit my computer time. Sigh. Hate that! It looks really good, tho, so I'm anxious to get started.
Hope you had a great weekend! Talk to you soon, bud!
4/20/2009 4:44:13 PM - 000040317923
Hi Lisa - thank you so much for stopping by my site and for your sweet compliments on my pics. I am really working on improving - I did my stepdaughters prom pics this week-end - what good practice. Next week-end Julie is letting me practice on her and her daughter before prom - can't wait! You're a fantastic photographer yourself - what beautiful books you create! Have a beautiful day!
4/20/2009 5:49:24 AM - 001003494861
Hey Lisa,
It turned out that she was not in labor, but doing the B/H contraction thing. You'd think as long as I've been doing the medical thing that Id have been a little less naive! Oh well, excitement got the better of me :-)
I'll post you all something as soon as I know. In the meanwhile, I've been working on the photos I did while in Texas. I'll try and finish up the bluebonnet pictures with your granddaughter in the next day or two.
4/19/2009 3:21:09 PM - 002059624475
Lisa, I'm glad you got to see my progress on Lilly's page, thanks for the encouragement! Your pics of Hannah are precious and it looks like Easter was a good time for everyone!
4/19/2009 4:21:41 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, can't wait to see which dress Ms. Kyleigh wore to the wedding this weekend. What a bargin, couldn't pass that up!
4/18/2009 9:15:16 PM - 001043414385
Lisa I feel like I haven't been on here in forever, as always love the site and thanks for stopping by my site. I just love the 4D U/S pics on my little McKenna. Hopeyou are doing well, I am so crazy busy with baseball season and planning a baby shower that I am going bonkers. We get home every night about 9-10pm and I am so so tired but loving it. Stay in touch!
4/18/2009 3:00:44 PM - 002055694880
LOVE THE BOOK! That is so neat. Love the background color and the black around the pictures. You do such a beautiful job on your books. Really lovely.
4/18/2009 12:34:48 PM - 001038348079
Darn, I just wrote you a message and it disappered. What a wonderful book. I knew you had been working on something. I'll go to the gallery later. Yep I added more flowers. (my second fav thing to take) Hey, did you see that nasty snake? I could air mail him to you since you like them? Did you know they like worms?
4/18/2009 12:32:40 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, I love your "All My Favorites" book! I always learn so much about what a wonderful person you are with your pictures and books. I told the girls at work that I have never met you but I feel like I have known you for years. I am so glad I got to "meet" you!
4/17/2009 2:13:23 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa! Oh Wow...what a great Favorite Book!! And just going through it - twice! I learned a bit more about you - and that's just one of the very cool things that this Shutterfly world is about! I really loved that the pictures and your captions are the center point of the book - they just welcome you in and tell ya all about it! :0) Love it!
4/17/2009 1:45:17 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE your new photo book My Favorites. Outstanding. Loved the photos, the layout and both covers. You really put together an amazing book. Thanks for sharing it.
4/17/2009 2:01:38 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, Stopping in to say Hi! I've been so busy that I haven't had much time to visit my shutterfly friends. We had a great Easter and I do have a few Easter Egg hunt I'll post. We had a nice sunny day in Illinois! I hope your Easter was just as nice. I love your Easter egg hunt pictures. Your little Kyleigh is absolutly adorable, Love the girly girl dress! Are those little cousins "hunting" with her? Gotta stop in and visit Starla or everybody is gonna give up on me. :-(
4/16/2009 3:53:12 PM - 002055694880
Hey Lisa..home sick with Regan again! Strept throat this time...poor thing. I edited what we talked about! LOL! Gonna look around.
4/16/2009 3:38:22 PM - 001038348079
You are so popular...look how many hits you have had on your site. (You are Ms Shutterfly!!) hee hee....LOL...
4/16/2009 3:32:27 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Hope all is well today. Thanks for that new quote. Your quotes have such special touches to the page. Thanks for adding it. Very much appreciated!!!
4/15/2009 6:22:29 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Glad you liked the springtime poem I added to my travel site. And thank you for the quote you added to my photography site. Nicely done. I can count on you to always share a quote or two that is meaningful and true. I'm going to check out the movie game. And yes Lisa you got today's movie correct.
4/15/2009 3:37:36 PM - 002029331419
Hey Kyleigh's Gigi! What fun Easter pics!! Her dress is so cute! All the kiddos in their Easter clothes! Isn't it great that we have these days when families all get together! Fantastic!
4/15/2009 12:41:48 AM - 000031826072
I'm with you, Lisa - I keep laughing everytime I see the Jordyn sleeping thru pancakes picture...he was definitely ready to kill me, which made it even more fun! Why sure, I'd be honored if you wish to put a couple of my pics on your showcase page. You pick and just grab 'em from my site. You guys are driving me nuts adding all these great pages...I just can't keep up - one of these days I need to get around to some kind of showcase or feature page - such a cool idea! I just enrolled in the basic digi scrapping class on JessicaSprague.com. Is that the one you took? It's self paced and I haven't had time to start it yet, but it sounds like lots of fun.
4/14/2009 9:17:52 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, You are correct on both films today. Breach was a very good film and to think that it is true is scary. To know that the Russians knew so many secrets during the Cold war is terrible. And all the actors in this film were excellent. And yes the second film was hairspray. Travolta is not a very attractive woman. Glad to hear you are keeping busy it is a good thing.
4/14/2009 9:17:40 PM - 001076975951

4/14/2009 4:35:03 PM - 000031826072
Hi Lisa! Sounds like you had a good Easter. I saw the Easter pics of Kyleigh - so, so cute. What an adorable little dress! Lil cutie! Yes, you may call me Ms. Spears - glad you liked my little fun wig pics - Jarrett and I had fun taking them. I wish I had gotten photos of my Mom and Sister in the wig - but I didn't have my camera at Kim's house. I loved the picture of Jordyn sleeping, too, but he was NOT happy when he saw it...cranky 19 years olds!!!! HeHeHe
4/14/2009 12:53:54 AM - 001038348079
Hey my best buddy...came to look at your photos and I just feel terrible....I will be back tomorrow when I feel better!! Got a fast look at Kyleigh's dress....BEAUTIFUL....i'll spend more time tomorrow looking at each!
4/13/2009 11:54:49 PM - 002055694880
Hey Lisa! I just looked at all of the film strip from Easter. Kyleigh is just the sweetest!
4/11/2009 3:39:37 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thank you for the Congrats on my niece's engagement. We are all so happy and excited for her wedding next year. I'll make a book for her. And I read you kind comment about the loss of Gerald, my daughter's co-worker. May he rest in peace. 29 Years old is way too soon to die. He will not be forgotten. You kind words bring me comfort.

Dearest Lisa - I can assure you that when the table dancing commences YOU will be up on the table dancing with Cheri and I, so you will be way to busy to provide photography and cheering duties. I agree with Cheri...those nose blowing pics of Kyleigh are tooooo cute. It is amazing how cute she can look even blowing her little nose. They just don't get any cuter than that little one!
4/9/2009 11:31:00 PM - 002055694880
Hey Lisa! Did something really cool today. You sort of already know some of it but there's more. You will have to wait until I have a free minute....after supper bath dishes and putting everyone to bed!
Have some pretty scary stuff going on all around us to..there are fires in Marietta OK and Saint Jo and Bowie. The sky is brown from all the smoke that is in the sky and with the winds blowing 25 mph it doesn't help matters any.
No I never found any flowers. There are about 6 in one field. And tha's it. Talk to you later
4/9/2009 9:02:49 PM - 001099993350
What a stunning header Lisa, so playful !! This really does reflect your site.
Thank you for including my pics on your showcase page, I am honored.
Barry

Hey Lisa...I have landed & EATEN so I am now able to send a little S/L love! I am LOVING the new shots of Kyleigh blowing her nose.........you gotta feel for all our little ones...no task will go unrecorded! hehehehehehe She is such a cutie pie. I need a little girl dontcha think? Can you send some of that MY way? (If it weren't for Corynn, I would still be surrounded by way to much male testerone!) I will be checking in later. Have a good day. Cheri
4/9/2009 2:07:09 AM - 000031826072
Hey Ms. Lisa - The weather here is back to more spring-like finally. It was beautiful today - in the 70's and sunny. I guess you can put your crow down the garbage disposal until this weekend. My photoshop class is all over already - I learned a little, but still have tons to learn. Are you still working on your scrapbook class? Can't wait to see what you come up with for a book on the bluebonnets and Ms. Kyleigh - it'll be magnificant, of course! We're going to a Mercy Me concert Friday night.,...looking forward to it - love them! Hope your week is going well. Mine has been all Mondays so far, if you know what I mean!
4/8/2009 7:02:25 PM - 001061427203
Lisa, we did go swimming last night, no pictures but i did add three mini videos to my site. They are under Brady's page if you want to check them out. And i promise, since you finished your plate of crow i will stop emailing, i did add one more for good measure today....at least until he wins the next race...LOL. Oh and the weather you asked about...well we could have a snow ball fight right now, yup STILL snowing here, my mom and some family are on there way to Florida, they haven't been gone 2 hours and she has called me 2x's already gloating!!!!!
4/8/2009 6:30:34 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thanks for the Socrates quote....I like it. And the quote by Sir Thomas Brown, Two goods one. Thank you for adding them to my sites. Glad you liked my new page of Family photos. Oldies but goodies.
4/8/2009 6:26:29 PM - 002029331419
'Blowing my Nose' pics....cute, cute, cute!! I just love that she is so used to having Gigi's camera around that Kyleigh just does her thing and keeps you on your toes!! :0)
4/8/2009 3:37:45 AM - 001023411097
Lisa, Your site is great. I love of course little Kyleigh in the bluebonnets. We missed most of the bluebonnets because of sickness in our family. I did get a few shots in HA! I think Kyleigh loves the camera and of course the bluebonnets. What a cute little one. Like the book and the pics of her blowing her nose. What fun she must be. We are retired on Lake Livingston, Tx and loving it. Will be back to visit soon. Barb
4/8/2009 2:45:27 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I LOVE the I can blow my nose photos! CUTE, CUTE! You've done good Gigi! Yes, I'll trade you a little snow this time of year. It's getting old now. :( We had sunshine today and it was so wonderful to see! I want to post Kaylee's Thank You card at my site on Kaylee's page so you can take a look at it, but I can't figure out how to do that. HELP!
4/8/2009 1:41:16 AM - 002033426108
Hey Lisa love the new book good to hear from you and I can't believe the bluebonnets one of my favorites from our visit to Texas.... Leaving soon on our annual Mushroom Hunting trip to Ky. and to ride 4-wheelers can't wait one of my favorite places to shoot scenery. Talk to you soon hope all is well and again Love the book "The Wonder and Magic of You" Love Donna
4/7/2009 2:19:17 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I love the pictures of Kyleigh in the bluebonnets. Is that what you were doing when you went outside on Saturday? I'm jealous! We got 3 inches of snow overnight in Illinois. I still love everything about your site! Iam so glad I found you!
4/7/2009 2:17:13 AM - 002005651632
your site is WONDERFUL!!! i love it. u take pics of everything..

4/6/2009 2:52:07 PM - 000074469281
Hi LISA, how sweet is Kyleigh in the Blue bonnets. LOVE those photos. Thanks for visiting my memory page - i too love old pictures and i just found another huge box at my parents. So i'll have to start going through that. such amazing history. have a fabulous day. :)

4/5/2009 6:55:24 PM - 002055694880
Beautiful header. Those pictures of her in the bluebonnets are beautiful!! Looks like Kyleigh had fun. Looks like she tried to eat one! I love the header and the photos!
4/5/2009 1:39:14 AM - 000031826072
Hey Weepy! I hope you saved some tissue for tomorrow after the race. Kyle and Junior may need some, too. Did you get Kyleigh out in those bluebonnets today or what? I couldn't be happier that God sent me you, too - what a blessing!
4/4/2009 2:58:18 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - I think I forgot to mentin that I did an expanded version of my Bucket List book and added table dancing (for you and Cheri since you are my fav students.) I posted the new version on my site!
4/3/2009 1:38:39 AM - 001061427203
Lisa, my mom called tonight asking who you were and wanted to say thanks for the compliment, i explain and she immediatly said, "Oh, tell her i posted more old pics, so stop by and check them out if you get a chance". So thats my message i was suppose to deliver!!! Not sure why she couldn't do it, her fingers sure aren't broken....LOL!
Love the Bonnets, need to get your little darling out there in the middle of them for some cute pics:-)
May not be around to much tomorrow. Boss is out of the office so i am taking advantage....sshhhhhh...dont tell, and then we are taking Brady to Disney Live on stage tomorrow night. If i dont talk to you have a great Friday.
Shannon
4/3/2009 1:34:04 AM - 001099993350
Fabulous header Lisa, I was in Texas a couple of weeks ago on a business trip and I had never seen so many bluebonnets. You captured them beautifully.
Barry
4/3/2009 12:15:56 AM - 002055694880
You've been busy! I love the bright spring colors. I like this time of year the weather is beautiful and everything is turning green and the flowers are turning colors. How bout that...
4/2/2009 11:35:03 PM - 001038348079
Love your Bluebonnets. I fit in time to take a few pics today also. (who knows when i'll get them uploaded. hahaha) Missed chatting with you today Shutter Snaps!!! I'll do better tomorrow!!!
4/2/2009 11:07:31 PM - 000076820331
Lisa, You went totally SPRING! I love it. The bluebonnets are beautiful! I'm so ready for summer. It looks like we're going to get some snow in Illinois on Monday and Tuesday. :-( Oh well, that's Illinois!
4/2/2009 9:10:54 PM - 002055694880
Love the bluebonnets. It is so rare that you see any anymore. They are so beautiful!
4/2/2009 7:46:22 PM - 002029331419
Love the new Bluebonnets!!!!!! Our catus doesn't start blooming until June! ah ha ha! JK!
4/1/2009 2:10:57 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Love the S.D photos and I also look forward to your new quote to share on my site. I have a new movie clue for today. See if you know todays film.
4/1/2009 1:38:34 PM - 002055694880
I have a photo thought. If you could capture what a two year old is thinking when she is cussing like a SAILOR. It is easy to capture the look on MY face.
3/31/2009 11:53:08 PM - 001003494861
Hi Lisa! Welcome back. Nice SD pics too! I hope you don't mind but I did some ship spotting commentary on the Navy Yard pics. Thanks for stopping by my page and leaving the nice thoughts. When I do Texas next week I hope to come back with a TON of photos. Woohoo! Camera season is finally starting back up!
3/31/2009 5:34:30 PM - 000031826072
Hey welcome back! Sounds like San Diego was fabulous! And here I was having a spring blizzard while you were enjoying the sunshine. The good news is I finally DO feel much better! Can't wait to see all the San Diego pics and glad to have you back!
3/31/2009 1:51:21 AM - 002059624475
Isn't San Diego great? Man I hope I can get as good with my shutterfly site as you and Jean are!!! I better step it up a notch. Beautiful flowers and aren't grandchildren just the best? :)
3/31/2009 12:49:25 AM - 002029331419
Love the new post card! Isn't it cool to know that you were right there!?! :0) New Movie for you!
3/31/2009 12:14:43 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I love the funshine photos! I don't have one single picture of a rainbow! You must have a beautiful flower garden too. Your site is sparking some more creativity. I LOVE IT!
3/30/2009 7:18:49 PM - 000074469281
Glad to hear you are back from San Diego and am glad all went well. Can't wait to see photos. I'm doing ok, Shutterfly is a good distraction between the flooding and my Uncle. Now we are getting a flipping blizzard tomorrow. Good golly!
I love your Funshine photos. Incredible photos of the rainbows. You could do a rainbow book. Thanks for putting a smile on my face!
3/30/2009 6:53:48 PM - 001024320926
Joanne I cried when I talked to her on the phone, we sang the ABC's and it crushed me not to hold her. She is my little punkin, I love her so :)
3/30/2009 6:36:08 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Welcome home> Glad that you had a wonderful time in S.D. It seems that time away always goes by too quickly. Tomorrow I'll have 2 for Tuesday for the movie game. Hope I can stump you. You can also try to guess today's game. No guess as of now. I await for the new photos to be added to your site. I bet you missed little Kyleigh. Take care
3/30/2009 6:32:04 PM - 000085599530
Hey Lisa...just checking in. I have never been to San Diego. I am up north in the Sacramento area. Did you do much sight seeing? I love your rainbow shots and your new headers are grand too.
3/28/2009 7:29:06 PM - 000031826072
OMG...your new header pictures are incredible, Lisa. How sweet is the one with Kyleigh holding on to Rider's leg? And your rainbow snaps are absoloutely beautiful! You are such an inspiration. I am missing you while you are in San Diego, but can't wait to see all the fabulous pics. Spring had sprung in Kansas and today we have a snow and ice storm! Go figure. I finally got my new Bucket List photobook posted..it was funj to do and brought back a lt of good memories. Oh and you are the BEST wishing me a happy princess Bday every day this week....what a great pal!
3/28/2009 2:23:03 PM - 001030486501
Just wanted to stop by and say hello! Love your new pictures. I've added a panorama page to my site, just for fun. I LOVE that function, but I haven't found anyone that can print them. I see you like chocolate chip cookies. My favorite recipe is "All-Time Favorite Choc Chip Cookies" from Southern Living Mag (Sept 2008). Try them, sooooooooo easy!

3/28/2009 3:20:36 AM - 002059624475
Lisa, I was checking on my members and your name doesn't come up. Could you tell me how I complete the process so that we're both able to "shutterfly?"
3/27/2009 10:26:06 PM - 002055694880
Well after texting with you today I learned something new about you and I love it. I love to fly. There is just something about it. Well we are all missing you. I want to call you but I want you to enjoy the time you get. Visit with you more when you return home.
3/26/2009 7:52:09 PM - 001061427203

Just had a chance to check out your family page...what a delight! Love all of the Kyleigh photos around...what a lil'punkin! :0) Going to see Hannah tonight...gotta hold that baby...it's been A WEEK!! ha ha
3/26/2009 3:53:42 AM - 001038348079
I feel so bad that I don't visit every day...Love the new Iris pictures...(I don't have any yet) When do you leave us again? Going to miss my buddy!! Ok, gotta visit Jean real fast before I go to bed.
3/25/2009 11:53:52 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa
Thank you for posting one of my favorite tulip photographs. I remember looking at all those flowers and smiling at how they seemed to be pointing at something, of course the sun, but it was as though they were mesmerized by something in the distance.
It always feel good and welcoming when I visit your site, the children especially.
Barry
3/25/2009 9:45:51 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, yeah I'm high and dry as is my sister and parents, so far. We woke up to a winter storm! Ugh! I feel so bad for those who aren't high and dry. Sorry about your hubby. Talk to u soon.
3/25/2009 2:35:57 PM - 002029331419

Good morning Lisa, I have a new movie posted and today it is an easy one. Come on by.
3/25/2009 12:49:18 PM - 001024320926
Welcome aboard Alicia. I have sent you an email and am looking forward to hearing from you :) Can't wait to visit your site again.
3/25/2009 3:35:59 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I was so excited to see that you saw I was here! My name is Alicia. (I also have a Granddaughter named "Kaylee"). She just turned two. I did request to be a member of your site. I worked on my site a little bit last night and added some pictures. I have a long way to go but I had fun! I did not see that you've visited my site. When you visit you will see that I am a "newby" at this. :) I am really looking forward to being friends here with you! And most of all looking at the neat things you do here! :)
Alicia
3/24/2009 2:09:38 AM - 001024320926

Lisa
3/24/2009 12:55:43 AM - 000076820331
Lisa, I came to shutterfly yesterday for the first time. I found your site and WOW it is truly an inspiration to me. I hope I can learn some "tricks of the trade" to make mine half as good as yours! Any tips you have to offer I would take you up on! I really enjoyed visiting. I felt like part of the family when I left!
3/23/2009 6:40:48 PM - 000085599530
You have to be the busy person on Shutterfly. How do you do it!! I feel so behind because we were all sick the last two weeks... Working on catching up ....
3/23/2009 3:26:49 PM - 001076975951
Good day my pal, Love that new photo of the tulips courtsey Of Barry. Nice addition to your home page.
Lisa check out this site: http://www.philridesacrossamerica.com/about_ride.html
Phil from the Amazing race is riding across America to raise funds for M.S.
Glad you got to watch the race last night.
3/22/2009 3:05:16 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, Glad that you are playing the Movie game and once again you guessed it. Return To me. I have another new film posted. Glad you had a nice day and took some photos. I want to try to take some today. Maybe after church and dinner at my Mom's.
3/22/2009 3:18:46 AM - 001061427203
Ok, guess what, i did it, yuppers all done. I finally posted Brady's book i have been working on. Hope you like.
Shannon
3/21/2009 11:02:01 PM - 002055694880
Lisa, I sure enjoy looking at your site. It inspires me to continue with mine. I took pictures of them building the porch. Hope to post those pics soon. Got all excited to day when I got home and Nick was here I just knew you were here to surprise me. One surprise is better than none.
3/17/2009 5:56:31 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, LOVE that latest quote you posted on my site. GREAT addition to my quote page. Thank you.
3/17/2009 2:12:57 PM - 001005918472
Hi lisa, thank you so much for stopping by! Thank you for you kind words, your share site is amazing and makes me feel very shy with mine... ;) I have a lot to learn!!! We are currently in Brazil, and you can visit our new site at www.brazil09.shutterfly.com . Internet here is not so good.. so I will probably upload the rest of the pictures once I get back to the US.
=) Cami
3/17/2009 4:29:40 AM - 001038348079
Popped in just for a sec. Wanted to say hello to my fav Shutterfly bud. Going to hit the bed. 0030 here. ugh....Got the kids play group in the a.m.
3/17/2009 1:57:31 AM - 001003494861
Hi Lisa,
Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. I just got back into town this evening. I'm hoping to put some stuff up from my kids and grandkids a little later this week...but, I foresee much PShop in my near future. I'm thinking about hitting Callaway Gardens later this week or early next, hoping the azaleas are in bloom. Talk to you soon. BTW, I love the new photobook. They just get better and better.
3/16/2009 11:16:05 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, your TP comment made me laugh. I guess mine says soft and squishy. Remember that commercial that said "please don't squish the Charmin'! I love snow pictures too and today was actually nice. It's just a mess w/ the dirty snow and snow melting. I am feeling better, thank you. Hope you are too. Your music makes me type fast!! LOL
3/16/2009 10:05:43 PM - 000031826072
OMG...you had me laughing again over your last little rant about teenagers...I can soooo relate. They are wonderful people, but have a bad case of "It's ALL about me" and "everyone else is here to make me happy" syndrome. And yes, I survived just fine without all of their current luxuries, that they seem to feel are the bare minimum requirements! So, as you can see, you can easily get ME started on a big rant...especially after this weekend..both Jordan and Jordyn has stretched my patience to the max! I'm still feeling yucky...hope all is well with you!
3/16/2009 3:48:04 PM - 001061427203
hey, here's the kicker yes my mom is a nurse, however she has never been to texas, been to a few other places like aruba and jamaca for conferences. She is a stay at home mom now since she had double knee surgeries a few years back.
3/16/2009 3:15:58 AM - 001030486501
Hi Lisa, thanks for visiting my site! You're welcome to add me to yours. I love the wonder of you book. Isn't shutterfly great?
3/16/2009 12:06:43 AM - 001038348079
Hey there...wow...LOVE the new book...I can't believe I havn't visited in awhile.. I miss you buddy...we've hardly talked the past couple days. hope you aren't in jail from killin your dog. (kidding) LOL...Nothing new here....i'm uploading some pictures of the kids that I took today. (I bet you will be doing the same shortly)
3/15/2009 11:13:08 PM - 001061427203
Hey Lisa, had a great visit with the inlaws, due to limited computer time though have lots of emails and such to get caught up on. The person on my header you asked about is my mom.
Shannon
3/15/2009 8:59:16 PM - 001099993350
Lisa,
You are always welcome to any of my pics, simply let me which one(s) and if there is something else you prefer, let me know and I will hunt through my collection ! Rainy here but hoping for some bright skies to get that camera clicking. Hope you are well.
Barry
3/15/2009 5:51:51 PM - 001076975951
Hi there Lisa, Hope you are having a nice weekend. Thanks for the quote. I like it. Now here is one I'll share with you. ~
If you don't get everything you want, think of the things you don't get that you don't want. ~Oscar Wilde
Love Kyleigh's book. Truly beautiful.

3/12/2009 10:44:55 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, CONGRATS on having your book as the main feature on Gallery Home Page. You go girl - you fill us all w/ that infectious gift of yours. How exciting!!
3/12/2009 1:35:53 PM - 000093706714
Hey what happened....I wrote you a note in all southern speak and the posting didn't come thru! That is hysterical. Guess S/F didn't understand the language. Oh my. Ok...I will keep it in English this time (but am bummed that it didn't go thru).....congrats on being the main feature in the gallery! This is one of my favs of miss kyleigh poo!
3/12/2009 1:33:16 PM - 000093706714
3/11/2009 10:39:51 PM - 001024320926
Cheri, boy do I speak southern, I could dail it up a notch but I'm not sure ya'll would understand me :)
3/11/2009 12:51:36 PM - 000093706714
Hey G.G.....I told ya that everytime I come to your site, I notice something new. Today's 'new find' is the header for your guest site map! You speak Southern! hehehehe Love it...maybe that is why we communicate so well together! Have a great day girl.
3/9/2009 11:16:49 PM - 002010581426
Hi Lisa!
Just wanted to stop by and tell you thanks for your very gracious comments on my new shutterfly site. I agree with your statement about finally finding some people to share with!
Vicki (AngelView)

Hi Lisa! Just wanted to say thank you for all the nice comments you left. We are extremely excited, nervous, anxious, ready, etc lol for McKenna to get here! I'm glad everyone gets to keep up with me through Mom. And no worries. There will be PLENTY more pics haha
You have a wonderful site by the way!!! It's really nice!!! Well have a nice day :)
3/7/2009 3:22:13 AM - 001025515806
Thank you for checking on me. I just started my class. I have not done my first assignment. I am planning on taking my photos tomorrow. My assignment is exposures. I am so happy and excited.
3/5/2009 6:49:51 PM - 000031826072
Hey, I already congratulated you on FB, but wanted to mention it here too - congrats on becoming a Shutterfly Guru -you are going to be such a fabulous addition and already fit right in with the attitude and passion of all the other great Gurus! Way to go, Lisa!
3/5/2009 6:47:13 PM - 000031826072
I'm so glad to hear that your tooth is finally feeling better! Good deal!
I got stuck at work last night and would have been late to Photoshop class, plus I started feeling really rough yesterday afternoon so I skipped Photoshop class last night. I hated to do it, but hopefully, my friend, Stacey, will fill me in on what I missed.
It sounds like the Jessisa Sprague class is going well, although challenging. Is it a digi-scrap class or what? I need to find a good digi-scrap instructional after I finish Photoshop class. I know what you mean on having to go over and over on some of this stuff before it sinks in...I have the same issue!
Just saw the new book..simply incredible! I just love seeing all the different versions of this book - all incredible and yours is certainly no exception! Great job! Kyleigh is so beautiful - those beautiful, big eyes just melt your heart (even mine from afar so I can imagine what they do to YOU!)
3/5/2009 5:02:04 PM - 000064383827
Lisa,
Thanks for stopping by my site. I'm so excited to have you as a Shutterfly Guru as I see your incouraging comments EVERYWHERE! That is so awesome. I've been extremely busy so I'm trying to make my rounds. Hope you have a great day!
3/5/2009 2:25:48 PM - 001024320926
Hey fellow Shutterflyers Connie may not be around much today because Alyssa fell and hurt her teeth last night, she had a rough night too. They are going to the dentist today. Hope all goes well for her.
3/5/2009 12:14:25 AM - 001038348079
You must be studying your scrap class hard!! You are very quiet!!! (Jean, thanks for the compliment) Miss you when you are busy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thought i'd make the rounds real fast!!
3/3/2009 4:23:32 PM - 002029331419
Hey Lisa! Love the scrapbook page! Connie is very Creative! I can't wait for the flowers to finally bloom out here - the trees are killing me- achoo! So you go by Gigi?? Too Cute! Your going to love San Diego!
3/2/2009 7:20:09 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better. Well talking about spring we received another dose of winter today. 12" of snow. I want spring ....no more snow. I'm making homemade chicken soup for tonight. With the cold weather and snow it will be a perfect meal I think.
2/28/2009 3:20:52 PM - 001038348079
You are TOO funny. You just had to think of a name for me...hahahaha....Good one Guru Snaps...hahahaha...
2/28/2009 2:15:00 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, Sorry to hear that you have been feeling under the weather still. OUCH a root canal. Do take care and hope by the end of the weekend all your aches and pains will be gone.
2/28/2009 1:31:39 AM - 001038348079

Have a great week.

2/21/2009 2:11:12 AM - 001031312785
Hope you had a great birthday Lisa! Love your site - always new pictures and fun things to check out. You collect old camera's? That's great! I have a one that my sister-in-law gave me and I think I could get addicted to collecting them pretty easily. Take Care Kim
2/20/2009 4:17:45 PM - 001071401309
Hey Lisa,
Thanks for visiting me and leaving your kind words. I love seeing you on Facebook too. It is a FUN place to be! I have been keeping busy with work...(guess it's not really work when you love it)..but busy taking pictures. I am getting ready to shoot a Rehearsal, wedding and reception next month..so that will be keeping me really busy, along with studio work! Trying to keep warm, looking forward to spring. Your daffodils pics are beautiful...I want some!!!!!!
Have a great weekend and keep snapping!!!!
2/20/2009 4:37:29 AM - 001003494861
Woohoo! In just before midnight! Happy Birthday! The header flowers are beautiful. I love the soft effect, it really looks good.
Thanks so much for all the nice things you leave on my site. And thanks for the one up on the weather too. My daughter wants me to move out that way next year. We'll see! Looking forward to more of your work! Happy Birthday, and many more!
-Michael
2/20/2009 1:16:36 AM - 001038348079
Missed you today too. Hope you had a WONDERFUL birthday!!! Ok, now for your birthday song. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LISA...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!" AND MANY MOOOOOORRRREEEEE!!!!
2/19/2009 7:49:18 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa - Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm having withdrawals myself - my internet is down at home and I can't get on FB at work, so I was getting the shakes last night! Your Nascar page is so awesome...Brandon saw it the other day when I pulled it up and thought it was too cool. Love, love, love the new header...bright and vibrant - just beautiful (much like the photographer.) I went to my first photoshop class last night and the instructor didn't show! Bummer. Now I have to wait until next week. I haven't had time to get my pics from Girl's Day posted on either FB or Shutterfly...I feel soooo behind!!!! Arggh!!!! Hope your week is going great!
2/19/2009 7:16:01 PM - 000093706714
Ok...so I hung around and visited your site after meaning to just pop in and share B'day wishes! Lisa..your SHARE SITE is wonderful. GREAT JOB!
1) Little Flower - Big Accomplishment: Congratulations
2) Pick up the camera and just shoot it: Love the advice. I am trying not to be overly critical of my work along this journey of learning. I have to remind myself....keep it fun and keep IT about what IT is about....capturing memories of my family and loved ones.
3) Rider's Short Hair Cut: ME TOO. I so wish Jonathan would let his grow...just a little! Thought I was the only mom wishing their child would GROW their hair. hehehehe
4) And that Kyleigh........I can just never get enough of her. By coicidence, every time I returned to your home page, the album page was on her covered in birthday icing. Cracked me up. What a cutie pie!
2/19/2009 6:59:08 PM - 000093706714
Hey Birthday Girl........
Dropped you a line on FB but wanted to check you out in our favorite place (SF) and I am glad I did. WONDERFUL header shots and just the shot of springtime I needed! (Dang old cold weather!)
Sending you a big helping hand (not) to lift you off the floor! (Remember...I get entertained VERY EASILY!)
TONS OF GOOD WISHES TO YOU ON YOUR SPECIAL DAY! And yes, I would catch you if you were to tumble off the table.....well, maybe! hehehehehe
2/19/2009 6:30:44 PM - 000074469281
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Love your birthday flowers on your header. wishing you a great day. no falling off chairs - only dancing on tables allowed!
2/19/2009 3:37:22 PM - 001076975951
Howdy Lisa, How are things going today? Glad you like my new photos did some rearranging here and there. Thanks for replying to my forum page too. Always nice to read your thoughts and ideas.
Yes my daughters always cruise with us. We always take vacation as a family even though my daughters are in their twenties I wouldn't wan to leave them behind. Plus they too are hooked on cruising. LOL when you have a taste on something special you don't want to give it up.
Lisa, you should check out Amazing Race. It is my favorite "Reality Show" although I only watch on occasion Dancing With the Stars, American Idol and Project Runway. They travel to so many places and have to do some many exciting tasks like bungee jumping in Switzerland. There is sometimes conflicts and backstabbing. Give it a try. Let me know what you think.
Anyway enjoy your day.
2/19/2009 12:49:10 AM - 000074469281
Lisa, you crack me up. i was trying to find something 'unique' for my header. You wouldn't believe how many pictures i took of those kisses. i think everyone has a love for chocolate, i for sure do. take care and chat later almost bday girl. woo-hoo!
2/18/2009 5:05:56 PM - 001038348079
Gotta get ready to take Alyssa to preK. Then run to the store then come home and work on my book....Wanna beat that dead line...(Still need to take several pictures (outside) not sure if the rain will stop though...talk to you after bit.
2/18/2009 2:10:00 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa,
thanks for always visiting my site. I may be slow getting back, but i'm not too far behind. Thanks for your kind comment on my ME book - i copied Ann's idea. i was hesitant, too, in posting, but what the hell. Kind of fun to do. talk to u soon - hope u are feeling better after chair incident. :)
2/17/2009 10:16:14 PM - 000085599530
I LOVE your headers.... I am so ready for spring and daffodils are my favorite flowers! Thanks for your wonderful thoughts on my book about ME. I didnt know if I should have posted it, but Joey talked me into it. I am glad that others see it a creative light as I did.
2/17/2009 5:36:12 PM - 001003494861
Thanks for stopping by! I haven't been out much lately, but I took a look at those header flowers and think I'm going to go looking. Those those translucent daffodils are beautiful. When I lived up north, the first sign of spring was a single purple/white crocus that would pop up through the snow next to my driveway. After 4+ months of unadulterated gray, the splash of color was magical...and certainly better than the antidepressants we were all on by then! :-)
2/17/2009 2:49:32 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa, How are you feeling today. Hope you had a nice weekend. Oh my I love those new pictures what a great header. BEAUTIFUL!!! Yes I long for spring with temps in the 70's. Sunny day and a light cool breeze. Your photos remind me only a few more weeks. I love the photos so colorful and vivid. Thanks for sharing with us and thanks for stopping by my sites. You know my 2 favorite subjects ~ travel & nature. And of course children and cute little puppies. :-)
Take care and I'll be by real soon. I too want to get out there and take some new photos.
2/17/2009 1:51:22 AM - 001038348079
What pretty pretty flowers....I wish we had them here....I can wait alittle longer.....Pretty pretty pictures....
2/16/2009 8:24:57 PM - 002029331419
Hi Lisa! So glad you stopped by and liked my B&W of Hannah! Hey... I got my playlist created...but .. How did you get it on your website? I'm stumped! Thanks bunches!
And you are really getting us anxious with those daffidols!! Beautiful!
2/16/2009 2:06:53 PM - 001061427203

Making sure you check out the free book (buy one get one free) from Designerdigitals for shutterfly books....emailed you and put a post on my scrap page.
2/15/2009 3:17:32 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa, sorry I have been MIA - I'm trying to make my rounds visiting sites. I read that you still aren't feeling well. Is it from surgery? I'm sorry to hear this. Love your header - love is in the air. Hope you had a good Valentine's.
2/14/2009 4:09:25 PM - 001076975951
Lisa my pal, sorry to hear that you are still not feeling 100%. It's a bummer when you are not feeling well and I hope you recover very soon. Lisa, I LOVE the valentine's header. Really wonderful.
I just want to send my best wishes to you for a speedy recover and a HAPPY VALENTINE's day. Take care.
2/14/2009 3:27:18 PM - 001038348079
How are you feeling? Better I hope...(Will's over at his dad's working so I'm able to work on here alittle..thought i'd do a Valentines scrap page of the kids. Hollar at me when you get up and around.
2/12/2009 3:39:45 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, I hope you are feeling better today. You stated that you were a bit under the weather a few days ago. Thanks for stopping by both my shared site. Glad you like the photos that were added. How are things going? Not much on my end. I'll stop by again before the weekend.
2/11/2009 7:16:15 PM - 001024320926
Thanks for the heads up Ann:)
2/10/2009 8:40:48 PM - 001061427203
Hey Lisa forgot to ask you what you thought of the shot out! Hope you were able to catch the race as i know you did not feel well...than again it gave you a good reason to just lounge and watch for a while. Twins are Thursday cant wait, i may have to get out of work early.
shannon
2/10/2009 3:44:19 PM - 001025515806

Good morning Lisa, How are you today. I see that you checked out my collage page. Yes that is my younger daughter at work. It was taken recently. I need to snap away and take some new photos. How is your family doing? Well I'll check back with you tomorrow. Have a great day. I guess you sent some warm weather because this weekend we will hit the 50's on Saturday & Sunday. YEEEPEEE!!!
2/5/2009 1:15:00 AM - 001038348079
Checking to see if you got the music on yet.....

Thanks for visiting my site. I have been so greatful at the pics that Connie has taken for me, they are absolutely beautiful. I am still showing them off everywhere I go. I have enjoyed looking at your pics and can't wait for updates. Hope to hear from you soon.
2/2/2009 11:24:20 PM - 000074469281
Lisa, I am so sorry I haven't visited your site in awhile, much less many others. I have had technical issues and having to be sending that back and forth - major pain. I'm glad you are doing better since Friday. How sweet you went to your grandma's 90th birthday! Your new collage page is awesome. I have to start changing some things on mine. Love your sons pages. Your header is GORGEOUS. U should make a photobook using those photos!!
Thats funny you took a photo of the Boss. I think I have part of it still on TIVO. I should do the same for my next Year In Review Book. I thought Jennifer Hudson did amazing singing - she's been through way too much in her young life! Talk to you soon and I apologize to u and everyone its taking forever to visit your sites
2/2/2009 6:02:41 PM - 001071401309
P.S. Thanks for adding me to your Facebook...LOVE THAT!
2/2/2009 6:01:38 PM - 001071401309
Hey Lisa,
Just checking in to see what's new!:) I love the page Elle's Diner. I may have to "borrow" that idea. Fabulous!!!! As much as I cook around my home, I could fill up the page in no time! HAHA!!!! Thanks for the comment on my Indiana Snow Days...believe me, in the beginning the snow was pretty...now it is really getting old! FAST! I gotta run...have tons of errands! Keep in touch and keeping adding fun memories!!!!
Take Care!
2/1/2009 4:40:11 PM - 001076975951
Lisa as always it is a real treat to come and visit here. You always have a wonderful addition to your site. Keep up the amazing job.
1/31/2009 7:34:15 PM - 001066325224
Lisa,
Thanks so much for stopping by the Terrapin Times. I always enjoy hearing from you. Your site looks great and I love the new additions since I visited last. Kyleigh is adorable and you can tell she is the light of your life. Keep snapping away, as it is fun to watch her grow. My boys truly enjoyed the trip to Disney World and we are collecting all of the ornaments also. So many fun memories! Keep in touch. ~ Diana
1/30/2009 12:46:43 AM - 001038348079
P.S. love the new header pictures!! Very pretty!
1/30/2009 12:46:04 AM - 001038348079
Hey Shutterfly pal, thought i'd tell you--I think if all the shutterfly friends voted...You'd be voted the most favorite! It is ALWAYS so nice to see your comments. I'm very greatful for you! Love your new photobook...YOU GO GIRL!!!
1/29/2009 8:28:26 PM - 001061427203
great header photos! glad you are all safe down there....obvisiously you are not one that has lost power, thats a good thing....and you did not have to break out the spatula....if i knew your address i would send you a scrapper just so you could show off to your friends....LOL! Up here we have been hit with some prettty bad weather even on our accounts. 12 inches just yesterday alone, we are now at over 120 inches for the year, probably will get close to our record of 200 inches for the year. We had Brady outside last night with us building a snowman man, at one point i heard him yelling "mom", so i turned around and he says, "mom, me stuck!". Yup the snow was so deep in the yard it was up past his belly and he couldn't move!
Shannon
ps. thanks for the comments on the scrapbook, that page is one of my favorites as well.
1/26/2009 11:04:53 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa, I love seeing you on FB, too! As a matter of fact, the weather you described heading for Texas is in Kansas too...in fact I'm getting ready to leave the office and the freezing sleet is just cranking up...could be a long drive home tonight! Be careful and stay warm! What a great idea to try to get some cool freeze pics..I need to see if I can do that myself! Be careful out there!
1/26/2009 4:52:58 AM - 001003494861
Thanks for visiting my site again! I really value, not just the kind words, but ideas you have floated for highlighting some of the pictures. I experimented a bit with the collage/featured page idea, but I wasn't really satisfied with the look. But, even as I'm typing this, I think I may have an idea I want to try! BTW, I hope you won't mind if I place a link to you page on mine also?
And, may I just say that I am really impressed with the 'coziness' of your site. It's very warm and comfortable, has a ton of personality and is just a lot of fun to wander through. A lot of memories here. It's late and I have to jump back into the fray in the morning so let me say again: Thanks for spending time looking at my photos and inviting me to view your art also. I look forward to seeing more. -Michael
1/25/2009 8:44:01 PM - 001071401309
Hey Lisa,
Wow...what a week! Between trying to get my studio all set up and running, editing those 300 plus glamour shots and having to take pictures at church activities..I am just now getting a chance to check out your site. I always find more and more new things every time I visit. You are awesome at adding and updating! Thanks for visiting with me and leaving the sweet comments about my new Love page. I look forward to your visits!! Have a great week!
1/25/2009 2:26:30 PM - 001099993350
What a warm site Lisa, thank you so much for your constant support ! Have a wonderful week.
Barry
1/24/2009 8:12:16 PM - 001038348079
I bet you are snappin pics of your g-baby today!!! Can't wait to see them!!! just read Julie's comment below that she is going to start digi scrappin....hook her up w/ me...I've learned a lot in the last 4 wks. (I can give her a few of my fav free and not so free sites to visit) hahaha....a few of them are on my scrapbook page.
I've spent all day cleaning up my pictures in photoshop. Getting ready to head out to Olive Garden and the mall. Chat with you tonight or tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
1/24/2009 7:36:33 PM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa, thanks for popping in this morning. I really have appreciated all your kind comments and support with Lt. Dan. It's been a busy week. It's great to be able to keep up a couple of different ways (like Facebook and Shutterfly.) So the new diffuser sounds like it will be very fun to play with - cool! I'm getting read to install Photoshop and take a class with my friend, Stacey and then finally dip my toe into the digi-scrapping world. Should be fun to play around with, though. I took a kickboxing class with Jordan this morning and then we had to go buy a prom dress. The prom dresses sure are different from when I was in school! Hope you are feeling better and have a terrific weekend!
1/23/2009 7:24:17 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, How are you feeling. Thanks for your kind and thoughtful comments. It is always great to read what you have to say. Good luck on your new photo book. What topic is it? Enjoy and take care.
1/23/2009 4:24:05 AM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa - sorry to hear you have been a bit down today. hope all is ok. drop me an email if you wish to vent: j6618@msn.com
Thank you for helping spread the word about the challenge. You are awesome. What a great Shutterfly contributer you are!
Remember if you want to vent, i'm an email away. Joey
1/22/2009 4:00:28 PM - 001038348079
You always leave the sweetest comments! Thanks so much for the last one! I know i've told you but i'm soo soo sooo glad you are back and feeling better!!! Shutterfly wasn't the same w/o you!!!!!!
1/21/2009 6:14:30 PM - 000085599530
Hey there...
Thanks for your sweet words on my Trinity's book. You can see by the pictures what a big personality she has... Happy or sad...you can’t ignore her. Looking forward to new books from you too... Ann

Hey Lisa,
Thanks for the comment on my book - you are too kind. I'm a little worried about this one as i kept getting an error sign when i'd go to preview - saying i had errors on the pages with text. I guess it is a bug as it also happened to Rachel. i hope it prints ok. I was getting frustrated. Must have checked it 10x before I sent to Rachel. Fun to do and i wanted it done before Feb 2nd, as the books are on sale. i still don't know everything about my camera. I need to read up on it more. My nephew and sister have the same one, he uses it all the time for mini videos! talk to u later and thank you again.
1/20/2009 5:00:23 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, My dear Shutterfly friend how are you doing. Thanks for visiting my site and answering my forum question. Great answers. It is always nice seeing your comments. I did add just a few more recent pics to my page. Hope you like them. I'm trying to keep warm since it is in the 20° today. Brr I can't wait for spring.
1/19/2009 5:28:30 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for putting one of my pics on your site again, what an honor ! I remember standing on that waterfall (strange eh !) and being amazed at the thickness of the ice; water was still flowing deep inside. I could have stood there for hours looking at all the different patterns the way the ice was frozen, alas, tooooo cold !
1/19/2009 1:24:50 AM - 000074469281
Lisa, I think any of your books would be worth submitting. I am not sure how many you can enter. I can't enter as I'm a Guru - so we are supposed to pass the word on. You mentioned you are doing a Year In Review book - me too! How crazy is that. It has been real challenging because I'm trying to use a 16 page collage and it is so hard picking pictures - it amazes me how much the kids have grown in a year. Holy cow! I'm doing a collage on the left page and then writing what we did each month on the right. It's getting frustrating at times but still fun. Have fun with yours.
1/17/2009 9:54:31 PM - 000031826072
Hi Lisa - Hope your weekend is going well and you are recovering from the week at work! So which of your books are you submitting for the photobook challenge? I'm having a hard time deciding which of mine to submit. I thought you would be the perfect one to ask for an opinion. Any thoughts?
1/17/2009 8:11:22 PM - 000074469281
I love your site Lisa. I forgot to mention that I love your winter photo on your header too. So many fun things to see. Oh, thanks for the compliment. You are too kind. By the way, Shutterfly is having a photobook challenge - go to the link on my site or check it out on the Gallery Featured home page. Sounds like fun. Hope you've been feeling well. Trying to catch up on sites.
1/15/2009 5:49:20 PM - 001038348079
Hey there! Burrr...cold here in IN!!! I added alittle fun music to my page...(I really really need to update the pictures - Having too much fun doing the scrapbook stuff though) When you are ready to jump in i'll be here to help you!! ha ha!! So glad to see you are back to your old self!!!!!!!!!!!!
1/15/2009 4:07:29 PM - 001076975951
Good Morning Lisa, Hope you are feeling well. I am doing well but freezing my buns off here in N.Y. Just trying to keep warm and taking it easy. Love all the new additions to your site. Keep snapping and take care.
By the way LOVE that snow photo in your header. Where is that from?
1/15/2009 12:54:38 AM - 001021983485
Hi there! Thanks for leaving a comment on my photobook. I admire your love for photography and everything it means to you. I too carry my camera almost everywhere I go, it seems the best remedy for capturing those once in a lifetime shots.
1/14/2009 11:50:57 PM - 001053494870
Hi there!! Thanks for stopping by my site!!! I still have a lot to learn but I am having alot of fun doing this!!! Stop back by sometime!! I LOVE all your pictures! They are great!!

Hi Lisa. Your site looks wonderful. I need to give my site some TLC. Thanks for the compliment - you are too kind. I need to spend time visiting sites soon. Hope you are feeling better. See you around!
1/13/2009 1:09:11 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
It would be an honor to have another of my pics on your page, why don't you choose ! Sorry, I do not have such wonderful snow pics like yours, not too much snow in Virginia ! I must check my past photographs to see what I have that is appropriate for Winter. Hope all is well.
Barry
1/10/2009 10:35:48 PM - 000085599530

Good Morning Lisa, I hope you are feeling well today. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your kind comments. Glad you liked my newspaper picture. And many thanks for replying to my Forum question. I feel exactly like you. I pray that our country will soon be on the road to recovery and strength once again. And as the headline stated: 2008 Thank God It's Over! Now let's look ahead and pray for a better year. Hope to have new photos by the end of the month. Lisa, take care and drop by anytime it is always good to hear from you. When I have a few extra minutes I'll have to browse your site and see if there are any new additions.
1/7/2009 1:49:53 AM - 000031826072
That pic of Kyleigh sleeping is so sweet. Babies are so adorable and serene when sleeping! I hope you are resting and getting better. Sounds like good news that the doctor is letting you go back to work earlier than expected. My first day back to work yesterday was "challenging" and today was even more so...got home late and missed spin class so now I'm being lazy and not even exercising at all tonight! I really do love my job but there are periods where it just makes me crazy - relentlessly busy all the time! I'm glad to see that you are keeping your fingers in shape by making the usual rounds...you are amazing!
1/6/2009 6:22:21 PM - 000085599530
You have made the rounds like 3 times before I have even gotten ot you site. You go! I love the quote... I hope all of you is feeling well because I know your typing fingers are in top shape...
1/6/2009 5:26:41 AM - 001024320926
WOO HOO!!!!! Texas just beat Ohio in the Fiesta Bowl!! Hook 'em Horns!!!!
1/3/2009 4:33:22 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, my dear Shutterfly friend, HAPPY 2009. Hope you spent your New Years doing what you love. I totally love the new photos on your header. That a little doll your grandbaby is. :)
Thanks for dropping by and liking my new photos. The tree at night was taken by my daughter who went into the city {Manhattan} with friends and she snapped away. I am also glad you like the one at the restaurant, which was taken New Years Eve. Glad you feel that you sitting right across from me. I recommend the shrimp stuffed with crab meat. Yummy.
I look forward to a new quote from you. Always glad when yo share your words of wisdom.
May 2009 holds lots of wonderful and happy adventures and many new photos to share with you and my fellow Shutterfly friends. It's wonderful to get to know you and share our ideas, quotes and pictures. Take care and be well. I do hope you are feeling better after your surgery. Enjoy your weekend too.
1/3/2009 6:31:13 AM - 000031826072
Joey said it....Kyleigh is too cute - new header is awesome. She is just such a little cutie pie. Love that dazzling smile of hers.
1/3/2009 1:26:33 AM - 000074469281
LOVE LOVE your new header. Kyleigh is a doll!! Looks like you got your computer fixed so you could upload photos. Happy New Year and glad we met via Shutterfly. Isn't it a grand place!!
12/30/2008 9:24:03 PM - 000074469281
Hey Lisa. Thanks for always visiting my site. Sorry I'm a bit slow to respond back. After the new year, I'll be better. I know what you mean, where did the year go! It goes by way too fast. Sorry to hear you over did it over Christmas. It is hard to lay still when there is so much going on. I'm glad you got lots of photos of Kyleigh. She is so cute. Computers can be a pain when they won't let you do what you want. Hang in there and talk to you soon. Happy 2009 and all my best to you! Joey
12/30/2008 4:22:34 PM - 001076975951
Good Morning Lisa, Hope you are feeling well and that you are resting so that you will be as good as new.
Thanks so much for your kind comments on my new Christmas photo book project. I had fun taking the photos and making this new book.
I also saw that you stopped by my forum page. Enjoy your Paula Deen books and share a favorite recipe with us.
I so want to wish you and your family a Wonderful new year. May 2009 be filled with good health, happiness, peace, love and laughter. Lots on snapping away and special moments to share with family and friends.
All the best and take care. God bless you.
12/30/2008 5:36:54 AM - 000031826072
Hi Lisa! It was so good to hear from you and I'm glad that you had a wonderful Christmas (although I hate hearing that you overdid it and put yourself back into bed!) I hope you are all rested up again and on the mend for good. Sounds like little Kyleigh made out like a bandit. I bet you had a blast watching her soak up the magic of Christmas. I took Jordan out shopping today and that is about all that got done...lots of shopping!!! The weather was beautiful here today, tho, so it was great to be out and about. I have a long, long list of things to get done this week while I'm off work. I'll stop by again soon and have a Happy New Year! -Julie
12/29/2008 4:46:24 PM - 001038348079
Thanks for stopping in. I'm so glad you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. I hate it that you overdid yourself! Poor thing. I can't wait till you get back to your old self. I miss your comments in the gallery. (I posted a new book for a friend) The kids had a wonderful Christmas. I took lots of pictures but as of yet only have a few on my site. I finally learned some basic digital scrapbooking and have been spending ALL my spare time doing that. (LOVE IT) I have so many ideas but not much time to (PLAY/as my husband calls it). Ok, I just wanted to stop by for a second...I gotta go put clothes away...(YUCK) you take it easy and get back to your old self!!!
12/27/2008 3:05:12 AM - 001076975951
Lisa, My dear Shutterfly friend, first of all how are you feeling? I hope you are well and that your Christmas was merry and filled with moments to cherish. How is your sweet little granddaughter? Did see enjoy this Christmas? Did Santa treat everyone well. I hope that the year ahead is filled with good health and happiness, peace and prosperity, love and laughter and special memories for you and your family. can't wait to see all the new photos. God Bless you
12/24/2008 4:28:42 AM - 000031826072
Hey Lisa, my shutterfly bud, I was so happy to hear from you - especially that you survived and are up and at the computer (even if for a brief time!!!) I miss your ever ready presence so you need to get well soon. Stay warm and cozy and I wish you and yours the very merriest of Christmases and the outstanding new year! Many blessings, Julie
12/22/2008 5:25:48 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, my dear Shutterfly friend. Thanks for stopping by and I am happy that you are on your way to feeling as good as new. I'm sure you will have plenty of new photos to share next week. May you have a Merry & Bright Christmas, do take it easy and God bless you and your family. Peace
Joanne

Merry Christmas and see you soon. Joey
12/17/2008 6:03:44 PM - 000031826072
Hey my little Shutterfly buddy - my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through surgery. It was so thoughtful of you to let us know so that we can all keep you in our prayers. I will miss you - you are so great about keeping in touch. That new header is too cute......made me laugh. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours! - Julie
12/17/2008 3:00:38 PM - 001038348079
Lisa, Thanks for thinking of us before your surgery. I'll say a prayer for you!! If you are able to read this later I wish you a wonderful Christmas also and a Very Happy New Year!! talk to you when you get feeling better....love and prayers to my shutterfly frd.
12/16/2008 11:05:41 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
Wishing you a warm and wonderful Christmas holiday. My thoughts are with you as I see you will be having surgery.
Barry
12/16/2008 10:27:36 PM - 000074469281
Lisa, I just got your message. I'm so sorry you need surgery. Hope everything is ok and hope all goes ok during surgery. I'll be thinking of you. You bring a bright spot to the Gallery.
Wishing you the best this Christmas and in 2009! Joey
12/16/2008 6:22:42 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, My dear Shutterfly friend, I just read your message and I wish you a speedy recovery. I hope you are back on your feet in no time. Too bad this is happening during the holidays. I still hope you and your family have the merriest of Christmases and a Blessed and peaceful New Year. Please take care and God Bless You. I look forward to seeing you back here real soon. And lots of new photos.
12/9/2008 11:26:36 PM - 001076975951
Lisa, Thanks for dropping by as you can see I have many new photos with the Christmas theme. I'm glad you liked them. I had fun snapping away. Have a great evening and enjoy.
12/9/2008 11:07:14 PM - 001099993350
Hi there Lisa,
Thanks again for dropping by the share site and for leaving a comment on on new book. Of course, I was hoping that you might enjoy pages 14 and 15; I was very happy the way the enlargement (p15) came out. Even though I took some of those photographs a few years back, I can still remember the moment when I was present, simply being there, clicking the shutter and wondering how they might come out. Now I can enjoy the moment again by putting a book or my share site together. I have even put music to a sequence of photographs, which really gets my creative juices going ! Hope you continue to encourage your creative juices with your camera over the holidays.
Barry
12/8/2008 6:53:52 PM - 001038348079
Hello there snap friend! What a wknd. Hubby and I went out by ourselves Fri night (well, to dinner with 5 other couples) and would you believe I got the flu or bad food? not sure which. But I was sick all day Sat too. Saw you stopped by...thanks for checking in. I just love coming to your page and seeing the Santa stuff! We may go to a place this wk that has a train and santa....Which reminds me..I have to make reservations! Wanted to check in...Saw you were featured...VERY VERY COOL! Congrats!!!!!!
12/5/2008 9:00:42 PM - 001076975951
Good afternoon Lisa: How are you and your family all doing? What a great site you have here. I know I say so many times, but it's true. I noticed that Shutterfly has you postcard book as a featured project. KUDOS!! That is wonderful. Anyway I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get into the city {MANHATTAN} to see the Rockefeller Center tree. And of course St. Patrick's too. Thanks for stopping by my site to say Hello.
12/5/2008 2:17:51 PM - 000074469281
LOVE your header Lisa! Thanks for the comment on my book and site. You'll have to check out my Thanksgivng collage under the More Tab. I just finaly added a few pictures. I love your POstcard book - it's an awesome idea and so creative. You are very creative!! Keep up the great work and keep snapping pictures - I'm stealing your motto! Have a great season. Joey
12/4/2008 6:14:36 PM - 001076975951
Good afternoon my Shutterfly friend. Hope you are well today. Did not go to rockefeller Center last night. It get's too crowed when they light the tree. But I do plan on going either this weekend or Monday....hopefully. I will be snapping away and then share my photos. Tanks for dropping by it is always great to see your messages.
12/3/2008 1:06:48 AM - 000090341095
Hi Lisa, I had some time to check your site again. It is great that you continuously update it. Nice job! I have not had much time to update my site or take any more trips lately. I will be going back to the USA for Christmas. Will plan another trip when I come back in 2009. I wanted to go to Thailand or India but too many problems right now. ….Thanks for the good comments about my siteā¦Ed
12/2/2008 7:47:31 PM - 001038348079
Uploading pictures I just took of Alyssa & Mason and their 3 cousins...WOOOOWWWW I must say it was easier to lock up bad guys then it was taking pictures of all of them at one time. ha ha. Not sure what kind of kitty Emma is. We got her from my sister-in-law...they have a bunch of barn cats. We have four and they all stay outside. (dont' tell my husband I brought her in for pictures. ha haha) Just posted the photobook. It wasn't working right so I had like 5 books on there of the same..I think I deleted all but one. I also put all my OLD ones on there. Take a look at how the kids have grown. Ok, better run. Talk to you soon!
12/2/2008 12:58:50 AM - 001038348079
Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It is always a blessing when you don't get called out!! I love your Santa header pics...They are ADORABLE!!!!! I didn't get many on Thanksgiving...too busy cooking/cleaning! Got a kid photo session set up tomorrow...hahahahaha. Thanks for checking out my book...like my new photobook page? (still got alittle work to do on it) I tried to post it but it wouldn't let me. I put a call into shutterfly so hopefully they will get it fixed. Been spending time researching digital scrapbooking. (Just GOTTA learn how to do it)
Better get the kids to bed...Talk to you real soon!!!!!!!!
12/1/2008 10:08:10 PM - 001099993350
Nope, sorry, your pictures do not pale in comparison !! Remember, it's all about if YOU really enjoy YOUR pictures that truly counts, besides, you have some wonderful photographs because your passion and love for taking photographs is so obvious. Sure, we can all do the homework on the technical aspects of taking a photograph to make it "look good", but without that connection to the subject, that passion behind the camera, then forget it. I must admit that one reason why I probably stayed a somewhat "closet" photographer was because I "compared" my photographs to many others (I was my worst enemy), a kiss of death for unleashing creativity.
12/1/2008 9:32:30 PM - 001076975951
I LOVE your new header pictures. So cool. Love all the new additions. Thanks for stopping by and saying "Hello". It's always great to read what you have to say.
You always put a smile on my face with your comments. Thanks!!
11/29/2008 3:51:51 PM - 001099993350
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for YOUR inspirational words, grateful (thankful !) to have found such a supporting group of Shutterfly Gurus like yourself. Gratitude is powerful and opens up some remarkable possibilities. Have a wonderful weekend, Barry.
11/27/2008 2:16:54 AM - 002033426108
Hey Lisa
Thanks for visiting my site and Happy Thanksgiving to you too. Hope you get lots of pics can't wait to see everyone's new holiday pics. Have a good day talk soon Donna
11/26/2008 8:11:24 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa: How are things with you? Hope all is well. I'm stopping by to wish you and your family a HAPPY THANKSGIVING. Have fun and enjoy.
11/26/2008 1:23:59 PM - 001071401309
Hi Lisa,
I always love it when you stop by and leave a comment. Glad you like my Christmas page..It was just a "whim" to do that and it was a lot of fun. I get some really whacked out ideas some times and have to go with it. I am in the process of working on some photo books for Christmas gifts..I will post them as soon as they are done. I know how much you LOVE looking at them.
I hope you and your family have a Blessed Thanksgiving! Keep safe....I hope to hear from you again soon!
Take Care!
Kristie
11/25/2008 3:52:09 PM - 001076975951
Good morning Lisa: Thank you for the thoughtfulness about my dad. Yes, I think about him every day and my mom still cries every single day. They were married 52 years and she tells me instead of getting better each day it gets worse. 
Yes hubby works in X-ray and Cat-Scans and illness doesn't take a backseat even on Thanksgiving.
I hope this winter goes by quickly because I really dislike the cold weather. I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving even though it is low-key. Take care and keep the flu away.
I always love when you stop by. Thanks. Look forward to your new book.
11/24/2008 8:30:58 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Did you have a nice weekend? Still cold here in NYC and I don't like it. Doctor's visit was fine just a regular checkup and flu shot. What type of doctor do you work for? Thanksgiving will be low key this year. Hubby will be working (works in a hospital) and we are still in mourning since my dad passed away only 7 months ago. I hope 2009 will hold happier and better days. Have a HAPPY Thanksgiving and take care.
Joanne

You are so kind. Thanks for visiting my site again. I love hearing from you and looking at your snaps. I especially like the pumpkin ones with your little one. Tell your husband and son good luck I've always wanted to hunt in Texas. I have been hunting with my husband for 30 years, but I really enjoy taking the Grandkids and it makes it even better when the get one. Jodi is my Granddaughter that just had our newest Great Granddaughter, so I'm especially proud of her the baby is only 2 months old. We do have a very big Thanksgiving Day planned but my sister does it all so we can hunt that morning. I could to on forever so I'd better go. Have a Great Holiday and I'll talk to you soon. Keep on snappin you do a GREAT JOB.. Love ya Donna
11/22/2008 1:57:03 AM - 001038348079
Good Eve, thought i'd pop in and see if there was anything new! Very cold her in Martinsville, IN (Just south of Indy). Still working on my site..had problems today uploading but I think that problem is solved. Talk to you real soon!!
11/19/2008 10:15:39 PM - 000085599530
Thanks for stopping by my site and checking out my new book for my husband for Christmas. I put the color combo together a couple months ago for him and just finished the book. It should be lot of fun for the kids to see him read it on Christmas morn. :)
11/19/2008 7:56:36 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa, Checking in to say Hello and yes I LOVED your postcard book. Just like you I am having a good time checking out everyones shared site. So many cool photos, ideas and tips. Your site is always looking mighty fine. Glad you like the photo of the house with the snow. That was taken last winter. It is a home right outside my daughter's college campus gates. And it looked too pretty to pass up. Hope to see you around on the site and your projects as well.
11/19/2008 7:42:35 PM - 001038348079
Thanks so much Teacher Lisa!!! I was able to add the pages. (Which are still under construction) Now, how to you add links to pages like yours etc??? Just spoke with Donna (Tata) and she wasn't sure either....Can you teach us??
11/18/2008 7:00:09 PM - 001061427203
Hi Lisa, I did go in and check out that site you had sent me, it was great and I indeed wanted to add a comment but.....this might sound silly but I couldn't! Like all the other sites where it say "add comment" well it does not come up on her's. Funny thing is when i went to vote on her polls she has on her page it tells me i do not have privledge to vote?
Shannon
11/18/2008 1:45:15 AM - 001038348079
HEEELLLOOO THERE! Wanted to check in and see if you had anything new. Everyone was sick here in the Etter house so I didn't get to take and pictures...sniff..Plus with it being cold out its not a fun to go outside. (Oh and the hubby is off on wknds so I don't get to play on the computer. ha ha..) Hope your well...stop by soon-I changed my headers--Let me know what you think.
11/17/2008 7:53:09 PM - 001076975951
Hi Lisa: Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I see that you stopped by my site and liked the Just A Thought page. I love the photo you have on your home page thanks to Barry. Love those leaves. Do you have any new photos from this past weekend. I didn't get a chance to snap away...maybe next weekend.
11/16/2008 7:29:16 PM - 001071401309
WOW....What a warm welcome! Thanks so much for the comment on my site. Hope we can keep in touch. Have a great day!

Hey if you click on the edit option for the 'where in the world' widget, at the bottom, you can respace the section so you can see the entire widget. : ) I think it is around 252, but if you play with the size you can get the one you want.
