Altered S

I did this altered S for a lady at work who does all our supply orders. She saw the one I did for my co-worker and wanted one too. Well .. that was about 6 mths ago and I'm just doing it now :lol: I put magnets on the back so she can put it on her overhead cabinet at work. The picture doesn't show it well but it is very sparkly IRL. TFL 42 of 365

Grandpa

Here is my card and LO for Rachel's "Stash" challenge for this month.

“Percy” Robin Percival Ingram (Norn)

January 28, 1920 – September 3, 1974

Unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to know my grandfather. I soooo think I would have been a “grandpa’s girl”.

I have this one picture of him and have collected some information from my mom and Aunt Brenda.

Here is what I have found out so far about him:

He was born in Andrew, Alberta.

His mother passed away during childbirth.

He was 1 of 18 children.

His father left his with their neighbours who raised him. Their last name was Norn.

He was married before he met my grandma. He had 4 daughters and 1 son with his first wife.

He joined the Military on December 28, 1941 and left January 26, 1946.

His Military ID# was M36909-RCEME.

He was in WWII and ended up having a toe shot off.

He then met my grandma in 1951 and they had 4 daughters and 2 sons (Bonnie, Wendy, Brenda, Peggy, Randy and Robin).

He’d have the kids sneak him candy, he was a diabetic and grandma wouldn’t allow him to have candy.

He drove cattle liners for a long time and then went to driving gravel trucks.

He had Pleurisy and had part of him lung removed.

He drank tea.

He smoked Sweet Caporal Cigarettes.

He made and drank Moonshine.

He had a great sense of humour (must be where I get mine from .. lol).

He died of a massive heart attack.

I hope to learn more and start looking into genealogy and working on a family tree in the near future.

On a side note, I have the organ his is playing in the picture in my basement.

So many projects on the go .. now time to post them :D

Lisa K is hosting a "cheap and easy" recipe swap. Here are my recipe cards. My chickens were green and I tried painting them white but I see the green is still coming through (insert rolling eyes here) lol.

Martha Stewart Slippers

Here is the LO I did for Lisa's monthly sketch challenge based on this sketch




http://www.sketchsupport.com/p/two-page-sketches.html


I forgot to get a pic of the journal card. It basically just says that Grandma asked for slippers every year and I so didn't want to buy slippers once again. I saw these in an email that was going around at the time and decided I would make them for her. At first she had no clue what it was .. lol Gosh I miss her laugh!!

Bye Bye Lee-Anne

I was super sad to find out yesterday that Lee-Anne's last day at work would be today =(

It totally sucks ass. We had some good times at work. There were always lots of giggles and I will miss our morning chats before everyone else got there.

She loves the gorgeous KK gurls as much as I do, so I just had to make a card with one of them on it.

I hope she is happy as she moves onto bigger and better things.
