Syndee's Get Well Wishes

Last week my poor niece fell down a ravine and broke her leg in 5 places (3 complete breaks and 2 fractures). She had to have surgery and pins in her ankle, you can see the bulge in the cast around her ankle, where the pins are. She's OK, but is on bed rest for a few weeks and then in a wheel chair. It's going to be quite some time before she's able to even be on crutches. As you can see, her cast covers her entire leg. My brother said that their community and everyone at her school has sent her get well cards and I thought she might like something to keep them in.

Doesn't she look pitiful? Oh and tomorrow is her 10th birthday.
Here's the Close to my Heart Memory Keeper box I made her for her get well wishes. Unfortunately I didn't have any purple and pink paper (her favorite colors). I hope she likes it anyway!

Project 365 week 4

Here's my Project 365 for last week. As most of you know, I can't keep a secret. I was having a pretty bad day (heck, bad week) last week and needed something "good" to happen. So, I showed hubby the book and well, his reaction was WAY better than I could have ever hoped for. He thought it was the greatest thing ever! Seriously, I think that if I had waited until Christmas to give it to him, he would have cried. (It's a good thing he doesn't read my blog because he'd be pretty PO'd that I said that.) And, it's really nice not to have to quickly get some of those pictures off the camera. Yeah, try explaining the picture of the UPS guy! he he he.

Anyway, here's the layout for this week.

As usual, here are the links to the other's that are playing.

Project 365 week 3

Ohhhh, that's how I feel today. I'm so overwhelmed. My house is a wreck, laundry is piled up all over the place, I've got a ton of work to do, orders to enter into the system and I'm not inspired to do anything but sit and watch TV. I haven't posted in days, there's goes that goal! Thursday I was running errands most of the day and then had to work that night, Friday I had to work late, we had an event. It went fabulously, yeah!!!! Saturday and Sunday I had club meetings and was gone both days. Basically, I haven't been home in 4 days and boy does my house reflect that!

But, on a good note, I'm still going strong with Project 365 AND my husband still doesn't know about it. Here's my week 3 page. There's no Saturday picture because Kim took it and hasn't emailed it to me yet. I did journal about the picture though.

Here's the whole thing.

Here's the left side. Picture 3 says "lift me" because there's another picture underneath.

Here's the right side. There's no picture from Saturday because I don't have it yet.

As usual, I'll post links to other participants when they're completed

Warm and Cozy

I bet you thought I wasn't going to make my goal of a post a day. Honestly, I didn't think I would either. The last 2 days, I've been uninspired to do anything. Typically my day begins around 4:15 am, when my husband gets up for work. I get up when he does and enjoy the blissful silence of children sleeping. They normally get up around 6:30 or 7:00, so those few hours are precious time that I take for myself. I try and do some scrapping or card making during that time. On the rare occasion when I have "real" work to do, I may do it then, but I never do housework!

Anyway, on to the layout. This is another Inspired Blueprint sketch (#6). I've had all the stuff I wanted to use for this layout in a bag for a month or so but hadn't gotten around to doing it yet. What I try and do is when I get my pictures printed, I make up little "kits" with the papers and embellishment, and inspiration if I have any. That way, I can just grab a bag and go when I'm in the mood. I don't have to waste my time trying to figure out what I need. I digress, back to the layout. Back in November 2008, we were hanging out in the living room and Bailey was content to lay on the floor next to the couch. For some crazy reason, Leo decided that she needed a pillow and blankets. And Bailey loves pillows and blankets so she was happy as a clam to lay there and let Leo get her all snugly warm and cozy. Unfortunately, I was having so much fun watching him "fuss" over her, I completely forgot to take pictures of that. Luckily, she was perfectly happy to lay there for most of the evening so I could at least get some pictures of her.
Supplies used: CTMH Perfect Day Level 2, Dimensional Alphabets, Prisma flowers and some sparkly thingies that I don't remember where I got them from.

I Leo!

Leo's such a silly boy. You can't call him by a pet name, he get's very indignant and let's you know, his name is Leo. Anyway, I took this picture of him on Christmas morning and it just shows his personality. I had been wanting to scrap how he says "I Leo" and thought this would be the perfect picture to use. This is a Page Maps sketch.

All supplies CTMH (except sticker alphabet): Blue Ribbon Level 2, Cranberry Gossgrain ribbon, dimensional elements book plates, craft buttons, white daisy brads, Friendship small alphabet stamp for date.

Edited to note that I can see into the future! Oops, I guess I'm used to writing 2009 now.

No Wonder

I have no idea why I used these pictures with this paper. Maybe because I had just gotten it and was desperate to use it and these were the pictures I had handy. My lovely oldest child doesn't like to sleep in his bed and contrary to this layout it has nothing to do with Bailey sleeping with him, hogging his bed.
