Blog Hopper
Are you a Blog Hopper??? How many of you go out on line and read other peoples blogs about your favorite things? Do you every find that as you are watching or looking at what other people are or have been doing, that you find that you do nothing? Well that is what I have been doing.

Life and Politics
I am not a politician, but this came to my attention and I felt I should post my opinion on it.
Wishes everyone could sit down with an elderly person that lives on Social Security getting $600 a month - currently responsibe to pay full price $1100 out of pockt for Medication they need to live.
I am not saying heath care reform is perfect & I am not saying it will fix the problems. BUT I'm saying that what we have is broken. We did not get here overnight and it won't be better overnight. But if you can't say thank god their trying obviously this elderly person isn't your family or you would think differently.
America is willand jumps at the cance to DONATE millions to other countries in need BUT WE LET our own Americans suffer!!
As much as I wish to agree with the above statement, I cannot. A little history less. Until the 1900's there was no company funded health care. There was not IRS until the 2nd world war, and it was only established to raise funds from the the wealthy of the the time. It was never supposed to stay in effect, but it did.
After the that War we had the biggest birth rate, the the biggest employment group, and now the biggest retirement group in the history of the USA. The problem now is that those who were Employed and Contributed to the National Economy, are not able to contribute anymore. We have not seen a birth rate of this magnitude since. Yet now that they have retired and rightfully so they Expect to get a return on their investment they made into SS, Medicare, and Medicaid, but there was not enough collected. The average life span of a Man was the age of 68 and Woman was 72. With today's technology we actualy have people living longer than any other time in history. We never imagained or planned for this, so the system does not and cannot work anymore since the variables have changed.
I can comment on this because I am on of the last group of children of the baby boom age. Will there be anything there for me me when I retire, NO. Have I paid into the system YES, more than my parents did.
My grand parents, worked 15 hour days for .25 cents a day with no health care, and when a family member got sick the family took care of that family member. There was a family doctor who did the best they could, but people died. Sad yes but this was the way of life. No specialist, who could keep them living.
The point I am making is Free Capitolism Works. Socialism has never worked. We are moving to a Socialistic Society at the fastest rate every seen in history, WE ARE DOOMED TO FAILURE. We will see it if not in my life time in my childrens life time, another GREAT DEPRESSION get ready, be prepared, It's Gonna Hurt. The days of plenty are over.
The only thing that saved America in the last Depression was everyone working together. That is the only thing that will help in this new one. My biggest fear is that we have become so Spoiled, and believe that someone else must take care of us, that the survial rate will be limited.
Remember that without FAMILY you are nothing. Without FAITH you have no HOPE. Without GOD and his WORD, you cannot have the above. In the End that is all we really have.
We come into this world with the Gift of God and Leave with the Gift of God.
This is just my opinion, you may or may not agree with it, but at least remember that we have one thing that no other nation has.
WE ARE AMERICAN'S AND IF WE WANT WE CAN AND WILL OVERCOME ALL OF THIS.

Blog, Blog, Blog LOL. Opening the door to ones life on the internet. Well I am not a famous person, I am just a person, who loves to craft. Guess what neither are those famous people, they are just people like us. Only we make them famous.
So I am going to become a famous person LOL.
New Word for 2010 Stayvacationer's WOW! what a word. When I was growing up not to give my age away but we called that living. People stayed at home and community was what they knew. We cooked, canned, cleaned our homes had home parties and people got together to enjoy life. Family reunions and camping were Vacations.
Okay enough of that from the Scrappin and Stampin Girl too serious.
I have been playing on facebook, with all the other millions of people Wow I have found some pretty cool sites there. Where you must become a Fan of. Does that mean we are back to the Mickey Mouse Fan Club LOL. Here is the site if anyone wants to go and look at it.
http://www.outonalimbscrapbooking.com If you like page kits or are looking for ideas this is the place to go and find them. Again this is on the famous Facebook site.
I am a blog hopper I like to go to different sites to see what other people are doing, and then incorporate their ideas with my own.
Well I am cleaning my scrapbook room for the first time in about six months. It has been so neglected, not because of too much vacation time, because of too much work time. I will be posting more new ideas as I get my room back together. well not completely that would mean I maybe an organized person. As we all know if you are any kind of crafter you are never organized.

Telescope Page Original was Created 8/13/2008
this is my Telescope Page. I created the original one for my aunts scrapbook in August 13, 2008, for her 80th birday. This a 2 sided LO as you can tell they fold up inside each other, but when you pull on the bottom you have a 3 page LO on one side and 3 pg LO on the second side, to decorate and embellish anyway you want. Although this is an original design, I want to share with you how easy it really is to make it. All you need is some chipboard, eyelets and paper and you can make the same design. As it says on the side, any of my designs may be used for Personal Use Only. The following will be step by Step instructions to who ever want to know how to make their own Telescope Page.
Telescope Page Design
8x8 square cut 2
T top 8 long 1 1/2 inch bottom
of T is 6" long 6" wide cut 2
T should be 6" long 1" wide
Bottom of T is 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 cut 2
Cover both sides with favorite paper
using a paper glue like "YES" it will
not warp your chipboard.
After covering all parts and allowing good drying time
24 hours before going any futher.
On the last T page put 2 eyelets in and put your
pull ribbon in.
Connecting your Telescope Page. Lay the T with the
Ribbon at the bottom and the T into next T page.
Using Eyelets Secure underneath the T on both sides.
This will allow your page to slide up inside.
Take an eyelet on either side of the top T and secure it
so the bottom T cannot go past the top of 2nd T.
Repeat the process only in your 8x8 page.
You bottom page should be slid up inside of the middle
T now push both into the 8x8 page and Secure with
6 eyelets at the top spaced evenly.
suggestions when putting pictures on the pages, use
Bumpers around your picture, either gems or Brads that
have some height, because this is a slide page, your pictures
if they are not protected will get scratched.
This was designed to be used in a Word book, if you are
wanting to use it in a scrapbook you will need to change
your dimensions of your top page to be an 1" shorter than
your page protector, because you will have to slice one side
of your page protector to get it in, and then you can use a
brad or an eyelet to seal it back together at the top corner.
Hope you have fun with this design by Jeri

My first Post
Everyone has to have a first post. This is a very important post for me, as you see all the wonderful decoration on my page, they were hand done by a very special person.
I am a 40+ woman who has seen many changes to computer and on the internet. I say this because my abilities to be able to have this blog would not be possible with out the abilities of the young woman who creates so well. My hats off to Stephanie.
With my title you have made the correct assumption, I am a crafter. I also am a bargain hunter, so in the near future you will see a store attached to this.
I will be posting more in the near future so for now
Live It, Love It and Create It.
