Thank You!
Thank you every one of you for your kind and caring thoughts. It's been a rough week for all of us. I miss Bill so much!

In Memory of Bill
We had very sad news earlier this evening. Our brother-in-law, Bill passed away. We were stunned. Bill's been ill ever since I met him 4 years ago, but that doesn't seem to matter, we are still in shock.
When Gary and I decided to marry, and since my dad had passed away in 1996, I asked Bill to be my "stand-in Dad" and give me away at our wedding. When I asked him, he told Gary to behave, because he might not give me to Gary!
I loved Bill dearly. He was the best brother-in-law, always quick with a smile and loved to tease. I will miss him greatly. Love and prayers to Bill's family and to my husband, Gary, who has known Bill 42 years.
So, I decided to post this picture from our wedding in 2007. It's always been one of my favorites, but now it's even more special to me.

Thrilled!
I have to tell you my news! Mary over at http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/ has asked me to participate in an upcoming event she's planning and I was so thrilled yesterday when I got her email that I woke up my husband! He told me last night that I was so excited I actually squealed, and could barely get the words out to tell him my news! So, watch for this upcoming event in November right here on my blog!

Videos!
It's obvious, after two short videos, that I need a tripod! Sorry for the jittery videos, but until I get to the city where there is a selection, I am sure, my videos will be a bit unstable. Sorry!
Winter Envelope Mini Album
Here is another mini album I made recently. The original concept is from Karlee at http://www.karleekrafts.com/. I made this album as a sample for my Cricut class in October and decided to use it for our current winter season since it actually started with our first snow on September 17th! Yes, winter does sometimes come early to northern Montana!

Gatefold Paper Bag Mini Album #2
This is actually the first Gatefold Paper Bag Mini Album I made. I made a few mistakes in placing the paper bag "pages" and learned from the mistakes, so my sister's pink album went together without a hitch.
This album is covered in fabric and I intend to make this an "all about me" album. My sister and I decided that since there is only one grandchild (hers) in the next generation in our family, we want my great-nephew to have some heritage when he's older and has children of his own. So, she's getting a pink album (one of her favorite colors) and this album is in my favorite colors.

Gatefold Paper Bag Mini Album
I've been busy making mini albums because sometimes I get sort of bored making just cards! At first, I made very small ones (see previous posts) and those ideas came from Mary at http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/, and then I found Laura Denison's blog and her mini albums are amazing. Her blog is: (http://www.followingthepapertrail.blogspot.com/)
This video is my very first ever, and it's not that great, but I wasn't sure how to take pictures of the entire mini album, so I made a video instead!

Prayers for Melanie & Family
Please pray for Melanie (Everyday Cricut) and her family and let her know by visiting her blog at http://www.cricutholiday.com/ that you are thinking of her. Melanie lost a dear cousin to brain cancer.
I keep hearing of others losing dear family members and loved ones to brain cancer. It's been 5 years since we lost Larry to this horrible disease.
Please, some way, some how, support brain cancer research! Also, please help all of us who walk, run, and participate in the Relay for Life to raise money for cancer research through the American Cancer Society - we really do want everybody to celebrate more birthdays!
Wouldn't it be great if school-aged children didn't have to ever worry about cancer when they become adults?
