HI!
Just wanted to let everyone know that we are having the Barker Christmas Party on December 20th at 5:00pm. What a great honor for Mom to have it on her birthday! It will be at my church just up the street. Please let your family know to mark it down on their calendars. If there's something you want to bring, let me know and I'll put you down.

Heritage Scrap Creative Team
Wow! I wrote this in September and didn't post it. Talk about half-heimers! I think it's getting close to
3/4 heimers by now. =0)
I was chosen to be on Heritage Scrap's CT (Creative Team). There are so many talented people out there, so I feel really honored to be chosen. I have a link on the side bar to it. Please check it out and see my gallery. Search on the name diney and you will see my creations. They require that I do at least 6 layouts a month, so I hope I can do it! I still feel like a beginner (maybe "advanced" beginner") since I still have so much to learn. If I get the hang of Photobucket and Blogger, I'll try to put them here for friends and family to see.
I didn't keep up with the 365 project like I'd hoped to. When your a homebody like I am anymore, there's only so many pictures you can take! I keep my camera in my purse, but still forget to take pics that I want. One of these days...
I don't usually watch TV unless Tom is home, but am excited that our old standby TV programs are on the air this week. Will TVO them and watch on Tom's day off. Don't we just live the life!!

New giveaway at DS101! A Bamboo Craft!
Scrapbookers, can you believe it? It would be amazing to be able to win! I've seen such amazing things created with a Bamboo tablet! Since I'm not a designer, it would be fun just to be able to use my own handwriting in my lay-outs. I put together a cookbook for my mother after she passed away. I didn't type it in, I copied every single recipe that she had handwritten. When I use the cookbook, it is almost like her helping me with the recipe herself! So...It would be great to have that same feeling when others look at my layouts.
So what is a Bamboo Craft?
- a tablet developed by Wacom exclusively for digital scrapbookers and the most exciting part is that the Bamboo Craft comes with over $500 in extra goodies inside the box:
* A 26-session training DVD from Jane Conner-ziser and Software Cinema showing you how to use the pen with the software included in the box
* A 28-page instructional book called Scrappin' With A Tablet by Amanda Dykan to help you jump right into digital scrapbooking and art projects
* A fun Digi-Scappin' CD of complimentary embellishments
* Adobe® Photoshop® Elements (6.0 WIN/5.0 MAC), the perfect application for editing photos
* Corel® Painter™ Essentials 4.0 for designing you own artwork and embellishments
* Nik® Color Efex Pro™ for adding unique photo effects to your digital photos
* Free 1-year Subscription to Scrapbooking & Beyond Magazine
* Free 8" x 8" hard-cover, professionally-bound Photo Book from Shutterfly
* Free online store so that you can sell your artwork or creations with Café Press and $15 off you first purchase of $50 or more
Here is the Bamboo Craft website - http://www.wacom.com/bamboocraft/index.php. Go check it out for yourself!
Keep your fingers and toes crossed for me in hopes that I might be the big winner!
Jenni, Happy Birthday!!

Where did the time go?
It's been almost 3 months since this blog was started. There has been so much to say... as can be seen here! I told TJ that he had to share this blog with me and he needed to take a turn also. He looked at me like I had 4 heads or something! LOL! Do I have 4 heads? Instead he created his own! Now what do I do?
I have started a project for scrapbooking which is called Project 365 and purchased Becky Higgins kit from Creating Keepsakes to help me out. The goal of this project is to remember the daily things you do and see, not just your special occasions. The kit helps to put a little journaling with every picture that is taken. It leaves time to scrapbook other important things instead of feeling bogged down with being behind...and I am sooo behind! With learning digital scrapbooking, I'm still slow, but maybe I can become faster and make better layouts than before.

Hopefully taking a picture everyday will help me become a better photographer also. Not very good at that either! A lot of people have been putting their daily pictures on their blog. If I can figure things out, I may still try to do this to help document everything. Sometimes I feel like the saying "you can't teach an old dog new tricks" is really true...there is so much to learn lately with technology and the internet...Facebook (don't forget Classmates and Reunion.com that charge each month), de.li.cious, vi.sualize, blogging, forums, chat rooms, and who knows what else is out there! So overwhelming at times! Need more time in a day!
