4 in one week!!!!

  After doing the layout the other day I decided it was time to attack the pile of fall stuff in the corner of my desk. Yep it was what I was using the last time I scrapped in October! Anyway, I found this picture which is one of my all time favorites in the pile. I printed it out and never got to work with it. I decided that I would give sketch number 309 at Sketches in Thyme a shot. I was extremely intimidated by the sketch, but decided to give it a try anyway.
I really like my layout and am very happy that I attempted it.



 Most of the product on the layout is from The Hello Fall collection by Simple Stories.
Thank you for spending a bit of your time with me. I am most grateful.

Time to Scrap

We have been having an unusually cold winter here in Georgia. It has given me a large amount of time at home Yep this southern girl goes in to full on hibernate mode. I have been given the gift of time but unfortunately mojo did not come with it. This week we had another snowfall. The kids went to school on Tuesday and that was it for this week! I have been homebound, could not even get out and help mom.  I was determined to get in the cave and get started on getting some pictures scrapped! The first one I got done was tough...... Just could not get happy with it. So decided to just finish it and move on. I have to remind myself that they are not all going to be my favorite!!! It has been so long since I have played that I am unfamiliar with my own stash...ugh.... well anyway.
    I LOVE these pictures of Zade from the first snowfall this winter. The area they live in got 10 inches!! Unheard of here. Needless to say the boys had a total blast, so lots of pictures to work with. I decided to use these for my second attempt at returning to the cave.  This sketch is 307 at Sketches in Thyme .


 I would love to tell you that this went together quickly but.... that is not the case. I was determined to finish it while having a pj day yesterday so that I can move on. And here is my take on the sketch...
I told you he is a cutie!!  I am really hoping that I can get myself back in the cave soon and continue to scrap. It truly keeps me sane and makes me happy! Maybe soon my mojo will come back and I will be back on track. In the meantime I will muddle along and enjoy working with pitures of my amazing grands!
  Thank you so much for stopping by. I would love to say see you again soon, but who knows haha.
Have a most blessed day and I hope you find time to do something today that makes you happy.
