Wow, the weather yesterday was crazy! I think if I weighed 10 lbs less I could have been blown away! We have a damaged screened in porch. Not much, the screens in a few places were torn because the 50+ lb futon was blown against the north side of the porch. Crazy! It’s really not bad compare to our neighbors. One had to call the roof guy because their shingles, a few, were blown away, and another neighbor doesn’t have a shed anymore… it collapsed. At least there was no tornado… this is one big reason we’re not 100% loving this place. Without the tornado, this place is great.

Back to my page… I’d probably have other things to scrapbook about if I didn’t have this little gal but since I do, she’s the star of my pages. I LOVE this layout. It took me two days to do it. I put the picture, window, and flower, and stared, and stared Saturday evening. I think I ended up watching Ugly Betty (rerun on the ‘puter since we don’t have cable/antenna service at home) and got back to it Sunday night. See, stopping does help. It took me about an hour to finish this page. All of a sudden my creative juices started flowing and here it is…

I used the new collaboration kit, Expressions of Healing and Calm, from Scrapbook Graphics. Awesome kit and it’s on sale today for $9.99! Check out their blog to see what other CTs did with this kit. I used a lot of what they have… wish I can use more… but they just didn’t fit the theme. I used three pieces of paper for this, just layered it on top of each other. The third piece is actually just that little piece of verse in the bottom. I erased the rest of the paper. I tried to give it a feel of a traditional scrapbook page. What do you think?

Ok, got to go. Big party to go to today at work… I have to be there by 7:30 a.m. — urgh — not an early person {::SMILES}.
