First Post of Three Pages!

Today is really my "Friday" and I am so thankful!

The non-stop week of much needed rain

has played havoc on my fibromyalgia

and I am in some significant pain today

(and we won't talk about the gall bladder...)

sigh.  Sick and tired

of being sick and tired...

But, as Mrs. "A" (short for Mrs. Andy Andrews)

the lovely lady who ran my college bookstore would say

"you gotta rise above it"

so

I am trying to give it the old college try

(pain meds will help, for sure!)

Here's one page of three coordinating pages I worked on last Sunday...

I used Close to My Heart's WINGS paper

that I love-that will no longer be available

after July 31st...

so if you see it, like it, want it-

let me know as I will place my final July order tomorrow...

I whipped out my iTop to do the brads at the top of the page-

a tool I've had over a year...and haven't really used

I like it, tho!

I used Close to My Heart Notice the Details for the binder clip

and a Stampology set called For the Record 3 for the little journal block

I used Google and the web to snag the Girl Scout logo I used for the "O" in the title

as well as to remind me of the GS Promise and Law

I was one---many, many moons ago!

and I think it's a good thing to try and live by-

wanted her to remember it, too so scrapped it for posterity!

Tomorrow...

I will post the softball themed page I made that matches this...

I used a layout from CTMH MAGIC book and really liked

how it turned out-

incorporated the flip flaps again to add more photos to my page

Her book is now TWO books---and are almost full

and there's more that needs to be added-

so instead of 2-page layouts

I am *trying* to narrow events down to

single pages.

The flip flaps are an awesome way to do that

as well as being a little more selective on photos

you don't have to scrap them all--

pick the best of the bunch and stick with that!

Gotta go get ready for work...

that sleepnumber bed I despretly need won't show up on it's own

would be nice, tho...!

Until next time, happy stamping and scrapping!

blessings,
