So much to say, so much to say...

Well, I can't believe I haven't blogged in so long.
Most of my friends know I've had a lot on my plate lately.
Sept 28th was a bad day. Mike called me at work to say Jimmy wasn't acting right, and he was scared. Trips to ERs, tests, doctor appointments.
Turns out it was seizures. EEGs confirmed my poor little guy's brain is not always firing as it should. Thank God it isn't being caused by anything horrible like a tumor or scary illness. He started on medication this week and will be on it for some time, it sounds. He is such a trooper. He takes the medicine twice a day without a fuss. I just want him to be happy and feel normal.

Dad went for a MRI today, to see how he's doing since the change in chemotherapy. He was here over the weekend and looked great. I worry about him every day. And some days I worry more than others. He's been on my mind a lot today. Hope we have encouraging news on Monday.

Working all weekend, gotta pay the bills. Our checkbook seems to have sprung a leak with all the car repairs needed the past few weeks. Still need to get tires for the Subaru. It never ends, does it?

Well, I have lots of DT projects to share, but it's getting late. So here's one of my latest, made for a challenge at Couture:


This was a breast cancer awareness guitar outside the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.

Okay, gotta jet.

What's going on...

Haven't updated in a while - been busy just getting the kids back into the daily routine of school and activities. I've managed to fit a little scrapping in, though!
I found this fun new challenge blog, called "Scrapping the Music". Here is a page I made for this week's song:



And here are a few projects I made for Couture Scrapbooking:






The first was made with the gorgeous papers and die cuts from My Little Shoebox.
The Halloween projects were made with the yummy flocked paper and glittery brads from Making Memories. Love that stuff!




This is my sweet little niece, Mallory and the gorgeous papers are from My Minds Eye. The big flower is by My Little Shoebox.
All of these goodies are available at Couture Scrapbooking.
Speaking of Couture, come visit us for our Scrap Pink Crop on Saturday, Sept 29th. All monies raised will be donated for breast cancer research.

Hmmm, what else...
I've been playing along with the Top Designer contest over at Bad Girl kits. Here is a page I made for the first week:



Well, got to get ready for work. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Labor Day Weekend

Beautiful sunny almost fall like weather here today. Wish I didn't have to work tonight so I could enjoy it more. Mike and I are celebrating our 12 year wedding anniversary on Monday. My, how time flies.
Here are some new projects I've made since my last blog entry:



This one was done for a challenge over at Couture Scrapbooking - we were to use 5 different manufacturers and 4 different techniques. This was just total fun to create.
Here are a couple I did for Scrapper's Haven:
