still going...

strong!! I've been stretching my right leg alot and am able to walk with the help of my walker (although it looks funny!). I was able to scrap some today:
this page is more of the Bazzill "Timeless" collection. I haven't done a title yet. I'm thinking "2 cool dudes" but I'm not inspired by it. This LO follows the one I did yesterday and I have photos of all four boys and the dance to scrap still which is at least 2 - 3 more pages! I used this LO for issue challenge #8 - use a mini-envelope, over at Club CK:
Tonight is our school's first football game and we are all going! I need to find something purple and gold to wear....! Blessings!

I am...

a bad blogger! Yesterday I had my monthly infusion, my son started high school last week, my husband got a new position at work, and he starts school next week!!! Stop the madness!!! But I did get to scrap some in the middle of the controlled chaos!!
I love Bazill's new collection "timeless":
Bazzill Basics - Margie Romney-Aslett - Timeless Collection - 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper - Timeless
and I love Prima flowers too! I used both on this LO I call "stay TIMELESS"


well, off to do some more scrapping!!!

more from 2 crops!

so here are 3 more LOs I just put finishing touches on here at home:







tomorrow is the first day of school in our school district and it's the first day of high school for my "sweet boy!" Only he's not such a little guy anymore! Tomorrow is really just an orientation for the incoming freshman but still, it's the sign that summer has ended. Wednesday is the official first day of school and it's also picture day so there will be lots of photo ops to be had! I'm still working on at least 6 more LOs before the week is over...blessings!

1 crop + 1 crop = 18 hours of scrapping!

     I went to the Friday night freebie crop at the local scrapbook store and that lasted 6 hours...then I went to the Saturday crop at the same store and that lasted for 12 hours! I got quite a bit done...have a few to finish up today so I have two to share now and will be back later with more!

now what?

 I got a LO done today for an issue challenge over at Club CK. It is to use paperclips! I've been obsessed with banners lately so I made one with red, white, and blue paperclips! This is a decidedly masculine page since it's about my wonderful heroic husband!
there is a picture hidden behind the 5X7 in a pocket I made because M did not want this pic to be on the main page...
