Woo Hoo!!! I'm on a roll.... :)

I excited now...this is the second of my 4 blog's that I've found in the last few hours. Can you believe it? I lost 4 blogs in cyberspace, yep...I would start a blog, forget where it was and start another one. After I lost the 4th one, I just kinda gave up! You can check out the blog I found earlier, called Purpleunicorn's Web Journal...it was actually the first one I made, this is the second. What's kinda cool is, I wasn't LOOKING, I just kinda stumble on them...pretty cool :) Hummm...now I wonder where 3 & 4 are? If anyone out there ever reads this and you happen to see a Blog that looks abandoned by me...lol
Now I think I just made a little work for myself, from NO blogs to 2...now that I've found them I should probably start using them again.
I started my first blog as kinda of a place to put new/updated pages for my web site Purpleunicorn's Palace
When I started this one, I had no real idea what it would be for. It ended up just stuff about me and my life... :) Mostly, just me rambling on about nothing!!!
So, I think I'll keep to that plan for the most part.
I don't play Sims anymore, I ran out of room on all my drives. :( I need more, bigger drives then maybe I can play again :) That is if I can find some time for it...lol
I've been scrapbooking. My little sister got me started doing it, and I just love it. I wanted to make my oldest daughter a scrapbook for Christmas last year. Her 2 children, (when they were little) destroyed almost all of her photographs. So I thought she would really like a scrapbook, hopefully with a lot of the pictures she didn't have anymore. The first thing I did was ask everyone in my family if they had any pictures of her and/or her kids. I got lots & lots of pictures, some she had never even seen before. To make a VERY long story short, I haven't finished the scrapbook yet, but I did give it to her for Christmas. I got it done up to age 5 for her. I'm still making pages and add them as I get them done. She loved it, so much she cried. I'm doing the scrapbook for her, from her birth till now, so I have a ways to go yet. :)
Then the next thing that happened because of me asking family for pictures, I got the bright idea to get Everyone's pictures...ALL their pictures. Scan them, sort them by person, put them in folders and burn them to DVD. So, when all done Everyone in the family will have a DVD of ALL the pictures everyone has. The most important ones are the old pictures of when my Mom was little, when me & my brothers and sister where little. I'm Not doing this alone, I enlisted the help of my Mom and my sister. We spent a couple of weeks a the Lake cabin last summer scanning pictures. We had 3 computers and 3 scanners, scanning... We split the scans up between the 3 of us and over the winter we were suppose to, cut the scans apart, and name the pictures. This spring and summer, we will sort the hopefully finished pictures to folders and burn them to DVD's. I don't think any of us realized when we started this project, how big of a job it would be. My Mom came from a big family 4 brothers, 2 sisters. I have 5 brothers and a 1 sister. Of most of us have kids, and some of our kids have kids...Whew!!! Can't ya just see ALL those pictures!!!
Of course some of us (I will raise my hand here) didn't take a Whole lot of pictures of our families. While others of us, (Jolene (raise your hand) Mandi (raise it!) the others who did this YOU know who you are(raise them up high!) took pictures of practically EVERY second of their families lives.
We found some wonderful pictures of Great Great Great Grandparents (shhh! some of the kids don't even know this yet!) A few pictures that my Mom has no idea WHO they are, she knows their family, just not who(she cant remember, well she's 70), anyone who could tell us...is gone now. :( I still think it's possible someone might know, maybe an Aunt, Uncle, cousin...ya just never know. :)
Then my Mom's SO decided he'd like to do the same thing for his kids! He has mostly slides, so he purchased a scanner that scans slides and negatives, I got to do those. Man, did he have a lot of slides!!! I got them done in just a little under a month, not bad when you consider the scanner scanned 4 slides at a time. I think there was just over a 1000 slides! I didn't even count the negatives I did. I was just thankful when they were done. I don't EVER want to see another negative again! Thank goodness for digital cameras :)

Well I think I've bored Anyone who might visit this blog long enough, and holy crap! it almost 4 in the morning...better get some sleep!!!

Catch ya next time :)
