Been Busy Scrappin

I managed to get started on this double layout last night, and finished it this morning, along with the 3rd layout below. Once I get these posted, I have to get busy around the house though, got several things I need to do today! LOL But I was on a roll, so hated to stop, till I got these done!!

The first two layouts are photo's of making rope that I took when we went to Brownville the weekend after our Anniversary. I remember making rope with my Grandpa once, and thought it was interesting, and had fun watching it being done again. In the 2nd layout, when the guy was burning off the "hairs" left sticking out, I almost missed getting a picture of it, cause I was so into watching! LOL I knew he knew what he was doing, but I was kinda amazed he didn't burn the rope up, when he burned off the hairs! LOL Isn't his outfit really cool though, I loved it! Reminded me a little of my Dad, when he would dress up, for his craft shows, although he didn't carry a gun like this guy had...if you can see it peeking out from under his arm, behind the frame. Journing is below! Edited: I forgot to say that I got a little long winded on my journaling so put the tabs under the frame, and wrote on them...got that idea from some of Blushbutters layouts, which you can see on her blog!

Kit Credits for the first two layouts: Victorian Wedding Kit, Baby Boy Heartstrings kit, Baby Girl Heartstrings kit,Digital Silver Heritage Frames, and Various freebies All by Blushbutter. The straight rope on the 1st layout is from By the Shore by Lara Payton.

The last layout, is a country landscape I had to get a photo of, that we saw on our drive in the country, on our Anniversary. I do love neat farmsteads! Kit Credit for that layout is...ummm no name for the kit yet, but its one I'm working on myself! LOL (I really am not good at coming up with names of kits! LOL)

Well I better get off here and get some things done, I will post to my other galleries sometime later today! LOL Gotta start some lunch right now, I promised my DH some pizza burgers, I made the pizza sauce yesterday, so it shouldn't take to long, hopefully!

Have a great day!!

Journaling for the 2nd layout:

While wondering around Brownville
Ne, at their Autumn fest, we saw
these men set up to give some rope
making demonstrations. Galen started
talking to them, and they roped...
*giggle*...him into helping them.

He had to walk the length of the rope
making sure all the little hairs didn't
start getting twisted up into the strand
next to them...that is until they wanted
them to, of course. At the end, when
they were putting all the strands together,
I had to do Galen's job, so he could take
the piece of wood holding the strands
apart, and slide it down to the other end,
to join the strands.

In the photo to the right, the guy
is singeing all the "hairs" that were left
sticking out of the finished rope. He
then taught Galen some neat knots.
It was interesting!!
