Forever Together

I chose two special layouts from My Memories tonight to highlight special relationships. The first one is of my Grandma and I on my Wedding Day, back in 2004. I was so blessed to have her as an inspiration in my life and she was so happy to be able to make the trip to be with me that day. 

This other layout is a special page for Topaz and Jazzy. These two always were together, cuddling on the couch, chair, on the stairs. For 10 years these two never left each other's side. This page just captured for me their special relationship, love and respect for each other. 

Created using Mymemories.com software, promo code for $10.00 off is STMMMS36408, with an additional $10.00 gift certificate for digital kits, layouts. That is a $20.00 savings all together.

Daughters of Gip Akin

My Grandma was the Daughter of Ula Mae Akin Durbin and Raymond F. Durbin. The Akin sisters, Joy, Ula Mae, Ida Faith, Ora Lea, and Lovella had a special bond, the love of family. Aunt Lovella was only a few years older than my Grandma and was able to share so many stories with us of those memories with her sisters. My Aunt shared this photo with me, and it was perfect for this MyMemories.com layout.

The Akin sisters were Gip and Nancy Ola Akin five daughters, and lived in Dawson, Texas; later Venus, New Mexico. Gip was an interesting gentleman from all that I have read on him. While Lovella was a young lady, Gip Akin had become a local Baptist Minister. In his early years he had been part of the Night Riders of Dawson Texas, and had written short stories. 

This is part of a story that was shared by Lovella Akin Moore, who first heard this from her father Gip Akin. I will have to transcribe the complete story at a later date.  

Gip came to Howard, Texas 1890 and lived there for 35 years. They worked on a the Slaughter Ranch, where he was a horse wrangler--he was 17 years old. He took care of 150 head of horses and lived with the wagon - it was home. Started out in the spring about the first of April--worked until Christmas. The Ranch covered 5 counties. The year 1897 branded 18,000 calves, stamped Lazy S on both sides--ear marked figure 7 under bit in each ear and worked for Slaughter 3 years. Then went to work for Barts Ranch - 200,000 acres. Headquarters where the city of Lamesa is now (worked there for 2 years). Then took up 4 sections of homestead Land. Post office called Chicago - got the mail two times a week from Big Springs. Built the house on what was called the home section, a little one room house facing the South. Part of this Land is in the city of Lamesa now, then went to Live 16 miles North of Big Springs.

Gip and his brother Mit Akin participated in the Texas Range Wars, and they fought against the Big Ranchers who didn't want them (the nesters) or homesteaders) in the area the outcome being many killings and burnings had occured. Gip & Mit Akin at this time earned the title "The Night Riders".

Here is Gip and Nancy in their later years, standing with my Grandma and her sister Pat Durbin.

Playing around with My Memories Software

Tonight I took out some time to play around and create a quick page from scratch of my boys playing in the water while we were on Vacation this summer. These little scrapbooks are quick, easy and perfect for me. Having 3 Preschoolers and a Teenager takes up a lot of my time. With mymemories, it is simple quick and affordable. Since many of the pages and kits are free. STMMMS36408 is the discount code to $10.00 off the software price.

Digital Scrapbooking layouts

I wanted to share the different pages that can be made with the two programs side by side. I love them both! They both are flexable and affordable-which was important when I was looking for a way to create great scrapbooks with all these cute old photographs. I didn't want to cut up the old photos and couldn't afford to make tons of duplicates to share. Going Digital has opened the possibilities of sharing these with family.

made with My Memories Scrapbook Software, this is one of my fur babies. Squeak, we got him when he was barely 5 weeks old from the Animal Control Center in Alamogordo. He was covered head to toe in fleas and malnourished. We took him in to see if he would get along with our two other cats. And after cleaning him up and adopting him, he has become family. Its been 6 years now and he isn't as small as he once was.

Made with DaisyTrail - Everything you need for Digital Scrapbooking, Crafting, Greeting Cards, Baby Photobooks, DIY Wedding Invitations and more!

This layout is of one of my little sisters and I when we were little. There aren't many pictures that I have found of us girls. We have many years in between us 4, I am the oldest, my youngest sister is 12 years younger than me.

You can mix and match the embellishments to create true works of art.
