Still Snowed In….and Sick!

ANOTHER snow storm this week…..AAAGGGHHHH! At first, I thought it might be ok….it would give me a great excuse to stay inside and scrap for a few days. But I woke up Monday with an awful pain in my side that made it painful to breathe and, by the end of the day, impossible to sleep. I couldn’t get in to see my doc till next week, since she’s on vacation and, by yesterday morning, I couldn’t stand it any more. The pain was getting worse and I was coughing and not sleeping. DS took me to the med center. The disease itself wasn’t horrible — bronchitis, which should be gone in a couple of days with meds — but I cracked a rib with the coughing, which was why I was in so much pain. Not much we can do about that….just keep it wrapped and try to stay still while it heals. Of course, the pain meds help…..

Anyway, I did manage to get some scrapping done before it got too bad. This first one is my adorable great-nephew again. I used Stellarific Creations Heart Angel and Blossom Angel kits (some of the elements recolored). Click on the Stone Accents Studio blinkie on the right to find all of her great kits.

My brother Dave has spent years researching our family history and has some great photos of ancestors and important places in our family’s lives. This is one of my favorites. The older couple seated in the center are my great-great-great grandparents and the tall man standing in the center of the back row is my great-great grandfather. It’s so cool to actually have pictures of these people from so long ago. I used the Family Riches kit from Jan Hosford at www.digitalfreebies.com for this LO. You can click on their blinkie on the right to find all her kits. Jan always uses rich deep colors….I just love her designs!

This one is one of my favorites of my wedding pictures. We had such a beautiful setting — an outdoor garden pavillion. I used the Pacific Ocean kit from ToyBox Designs, also at Stone Accents Studio. Toy’s designs are soft and pretty and dreamy. I love using them for romantic-type layouts.

This is a really different type of layout for me. I don’t have any pets and don’t usually take a lot of critter pictures. Last Spring, my friend Janice and I were exploring parts of rural Wisconsin while our husband were working there and we ran across this whole field full of alpaca. I was just fascinated with the look on this one’s face….as though she was keeping tabs on all her flock!  This kit is also from Stellarific Creations — her new Golden Valentine kit, now available at Stone Accents Studio.  Be sure to check her blog, too. She’s been coming up with lots and lots of freebies lately!

That’s it for today….I’m going back to bed.
