It's been a very hectic last 2 weeks. Laptop issues in the truck prohibited me from checking everyone out while I was gone which drove me insane. I usually do my emails when hubby is driving down the road and they got piled up like mad while we were out this time. We went to NC, MN, IA, TX and back. Saw lots of devestating flooding in Des Moines and across IA and IL. Had to reroute some of our trips due to road closures. I am praying so hard for those poor people. And I can't even imagine what the crop flooding is going todo to our food prices. Almost all of IA is a disaster area. The fields that aren't even close to rivers are under water. Even with fuel prices as high as they are we got some great paying loads this time so starting to catch up. Going to take a week off for the 4th to do some camping and fishing, then get after it hard again.
Once home, Arianna, my granddaughter who is now 7 YEARS OLD, and I finished up some tins we had been working on. Playing with her and making memories for both of us inspired this tin. My Dad's wife always reminds me that we are making memories when we do things together. She is such a pleasant girl to have around. Pretty much happy with anything we do as long as we do it together. She is getting a warped sense of humor too(not sure where she gets that from, hee hee.) She pretty much hangs with Nanna Cheri while I am home. Anyhow the orange "Create Memories" tin is mine and the butterfly tin, is one she made for her teacher. She is working on another one, for her other teacher, with some fabulous school fabric I got. Hopefully we will get a chance to play a little today with it. I promised her I would share her tin with all my friends on the internet. So here is Arinna's art beside mine. By the way, she is usually by my side when I blog hop and she loves looking at everyone's art too. So again thank you for sharing your art. I sure missed you all. Hugz, Scary

Hi Scary! Love the creations! You sound like the perfect role model for your granddaughter! :) Carole
well thank you very much Carole. We try to pack as much fun into a day as we can. I am going to have her make a little angel today with a litle kit I got in a goodie box give away at our fabric yahoo group. Have a wonderful day and watch your mail. Hugz, Scary
Scary,
Wow you have had some adventures. Great boxes, I love them. I have been crafting with my niece who is 10 years old lately. It's great fun! Love your blog! Cheers, Jenna Louise
Hanging with Nanna Cheri sounds like a special time for Arianna. She's lucky to be able to create memories with you. Good for you both!
Love your tin art and especially like the words used. Great job!
What? Come to Texas and no stopping by? ;-D
lol we were all over Texas this time Fannie. Houston, Abilene, and loaded in a little town called Cleburne. Freaking hot in Houston. Sat all day to get loaded at a pipe yard. Then hurry to home for the weekend, Monday unloaded in Dickinson, about 150 miles from here. I don't know how you can take the heat like that. It doesn't even cool off at night. I get back to ND and it's in the 60's during the day. We did have a couple days of muggy hot but it was only 82, lol. And it cools down at night to sleep. We just put central air in this winter and I am enjoying it immenselyu. On our way to get a seedless watermelon off a truck up town. Yuuuuuum. Hugz, Scary
both of your art is Wonderful!!! Maybe someday she and Olivia can do a trade! Olivia would be thrilled to death...what do you think? Glad you are home safely! Melinda
