On a roll...
I've gotten a few layouts for my scrapbook done lately. I've done 4 in the last 2 weeks. It might not seem like a lot to some people but I hadn't worked on anything since at least August. First we were busy packing to move and then I just couldn't get into the mood. I was upset b/c I finally have my own space to make as big of a mess as I want while I'm scrapping and I couldn't work. I'd pull out some pictures and paper and nothing would happen.
I'm going to try to get a scrapbook done for D. by our anniversary (which happens to be Valentine's Day). He loves music so I'm going to try to make a "soundtrack" for our relationship. I've seen it done before but I think he'd really like it. I'm looking for some really obscure lyrics to fit some of the pictures we have so he can tell I worked at it. A couple pages won't be related to music b/c I had them done before I decided what to do but I like them and don't want to redo them. So far I only have 3 layouts done for it but I've got a ton of ideas so it should be too hard. Here's one I just finished tonight (let's hope D. doesn't see this blog until after February 14th).
I did change the lyrics so they say "4 cats in the yard" instead of 2.
I'm going to burn all the songs I used onto a CD and make a layout with that. I think I'll add to it every year from now on too.
In other news, I'm going to visit my grandma in mid-February, a week earlier than I had planned. I switched Sundays at work with another lady so I could go earlier. The only bad thing about going then is I'm working the Sunday before our anniversary and I'm leaving the weekend after. We had planned on getting a hotel room downtown (we did it last year and had a ton of fun being away from the "kids" for the night). We didn't have reservations already so its not like we have to change plans but it would have been nice to do it right around then. But seeing Grandma is so much more important. Luckily, D. understands that too.
Well, I rambled on long enough. I better get to bed soon so I have a big smile on my face at work in the morning (yeah right).

Don't worry about missing the anniversary,,, there are many more to come
plus the rest of your life you'll remember the last time you saw your grandma
(i'm sorry how terribly that came out, and i dont wish on anyone to be in that situation, but it is the truth)
and it is probably better the sooner you go out
you never know, your grandma may be holding on just to see you...
as sad as is it

Your layout is beautiful. I am glad that you are able to scrap. I hate when things get in the way of my scrapping time.
have a great day
