So many of you know that the last year for me has not been so groovy. Yes I started the long road of getting to the bottom of a health issue that just wasn't easy myself, and my youngest baby girl had an accident at school that snowballed into a huge medical undertaking, but also my middle kiddo managed to break herself (literally!) two separate times!! She spent a few months in an arm cast after breaking her wrist in two places playing a game of tag and 9 months to the date of getting out of that cast, she broke her foot running across the playground at recess. One might say they came by their klutziness honestly?!?! Just sayin'! Well the day she finally got out of that hot pink arm cast, she got her braces put on that same afternoon. She kept joking that she got out of one prison just in time to be locked down in the next. She's super attached to her popcorn and bubblegum!
Here is the layout I created to document that day. I don't just scrap the happy stuff. Everything is worth scrapping in my opinion. The layout was created for the new challenge posted over at
Child's Play Challenges all about GLITTER!!! As you can probably see, I glittered those plain chipboard letters within an inch of their life! :)
Thanks for visiting!
