Well. I have been gone from my blog so long that they have changed the whole format on me. I got on a few months ago and tried to get a post done but I finally gave up. So I am determined to stick with this post until I in some capacity get it done!! May bring us some laughs along the way.
I have really had a lot going on. as I know you all have too. This unprecedented time has certainly brought it's share of challenges. My mother has declined rapidly and is now living in my home with her needy pug. This has proved to be a large challenge for sure. We went on a vacation last week that had been planned for a year.It gave me a much needed mental health break and a chance to slow down and re-access. One of the things that I committed to was entering my craft cave regularly. I kid you not I went in the day I got back from vacation and there was a spider web across the doorway...... now that is a sad sad story.
I have tons and tons of vacation photos to scrap so hopefully I can keep from going back into the funk and keep playing with paper. I started my return to paper by looking for sketches to start with. There is something about a sketch that helps me to start. I have a scrapping buddy Barbara Greenberg; she is the fastest scrapper I know. When I need inspiration her blog Barb's Blab and Creation is my first stop. I found this fantastic sketch from Sketch-N-Scrap to get going.

I have just scored some Vicki Boutin watercolor markers. I decided to play with them a bit for this layout. There is definitely a learning curve for me. I am only somewhat happy with it but okay enough. All the papers and die cuts are from Miss Kate's Designs Summer Fun collection. so here is my take on this awesome sketch.
It was so much fun to spend a carefree week at the beach secluded from the craziness of our world and surrounded by family. Ryder loved all the freedom that this week gave him. He was busy, busy, busy all day long.
Truly a blessed week and he enjoyed every moment.
I hope that this week will bring you time to relax and count your blessings.
Thank you for hanging with me. I can not figure out how to get this spacing back to normal. ugh
Have an amazing day!
