Some New layouts

Hey Ya'll! SOrry I haven't updated sooner but I have had a nasty upper respiratory infection and have been on some super strong antibiotics. They have made me so nauseas and I haven't felt like doing much. Yesterday and today I have finally felt like scrapbooking and doing some things around the house.but in addition to the sinus infection, I took a fallthis past Saturday night. I was in the tub And just before we had eaten Tsjuan (i probably spelled that wrong) John and Bella got sushi and I got hibachi. Well when I got mine somekinda liquid was all over the lid. I did fine ( Im horribly allergic to seafood and mushrooms and they had gotten both) well I went to take a bath immediately after I ate. while I was sitting in the tub my throat got kinda itchy and phlemy. I figured it was nothing but was gonna take some benadryl just to be on the safe side. so I called to John to bring me some benadryl. Nothing. I called even louder. nothing so I tried to get up.. well my water was pretty warm and I got my feet under me and my legs went numb and I fell backwards in the tub. I landed on my right side. hitting my hip first and my ankle behind me and my head (the hardest part of me) and my wrist was curled. there was just a little water in the tub thank God. I layed there for a second thinking he had heard me fall cause all the shampoo bottles fell and made a unearthly racket and my big butt falling in that tub made plenty of noise. but no.. nothing. I thought well good lord Im glad Im not unconscious. so I yelled his name again. NOTHING!! so finally I got seated upright AND I SCREAMED WITH ALL THAT WAS IN ME tears and everything JOOOHNN HELLLP MEEE! he said JUST A MINUTE! he came back ther what is wrong. I said Ive been calling you I need some benadryl and I fell. He said omgosh good lord are you ok.and he checked me out. nothing was broke he said I would have some pretty bruises there were alread red places. I was just a crying. I was overwhelmed. I had not even taken my bath yet. He fussed because hot water is a no no for MS patients I told him I run cold water before I get out but I was trying to get out to get me some benadryl. He understood annd said " Its alright now" Its over. you are going to be ok. he ran me somme luke warm water and I took my bath and washed my hair carefully. He was in there every 10 minutes checking on me. Making sure I was breathing ok and havent passed out due to the benadryl. I did fine. I ran cold water and got out of the tub fine. it was just the warm water had numbed my legs that made me fall. I know better. He gave me a lecture about warm water and not having my phone back there to get his attention (it was charging the battery was almost dead ) he hugged me and said " Im glad you are ok, Don't scare me like that" I told him I was a little afraid myself haha. so that was the excitement at out house. Here is my public service announcement. ESPECIALLY with winter coming and cooler weather. If you have multiple sclerosis be aware just how warm your bath water or shower water is. it can get too warm quickly and you loose the feeling in your legs and fall.. I know it happened to me. ok so on to some scrappiness. These arent real fancy pages. I was kinda in a lul and trying to find my MOJO. I hope you enjoy looking at these. again theyre not to fancy. The first one is the last of her Senior casual photos. I have loved scrapping these pictures. She did so good taking these pictures and I could hardly pick a favorite. Even the ones that were not my favorites turned out to be great layouts.

Sorry the photo is a little crooked. I was half awake and had a half a cup of coffee when I photographed these.

I left room on this one to put her name. I know her name but not exactly how they spell it. her name is Rosey but it could be spelled IE or EY or Y see what I mean, so when Bella gets home I will put it on there and update it. she is the cutest little thing. All the seniors get a kindergarten buddy.

Again sorry for the glare. I love this page. It shows some of her best smiles. I wanted so many 5x7s of these pictures to frame but I know I cant do them all. and guess what? Her professional senior portraits came in yesterday! OH My GOSH They are so beautiful. I really want a great big one to go over my fire place of her drape picture its so good. BUt they want a ridiculous amount of money for it and that doesnt include the frame! it is extra! I dont have that kinda money. so we got the usual 8x10 we got a small package with hopefully enough wallet for family and it was 165 dollars. I was shocked. pictures are expensive. i was wishing my awesome photographer neighbor had not left the photography business!!! Ivee learned though because of my wedding not to scrimp on pictures (our wedding pictures were horrible) the ones my sister in love took were better and that was just a few. but Im happy to have those. Well Im going to be scrapping today. Today is My mother in loves birthday. I miss her so much. she meant so much to me. i miss her.I know John and especially Bella miss her. so Im trying not to be sad because I know she is in Heaven better off than all of us. Im praying for JOhn and Liz and zach and greyson and Bella (her grand babies ) today that it is a little easier knowing she is in heaven singing with the angels and rocking the babies. I know I will see her again. I post this for Bella I made this layout quit a while before her death. whenBella was little of things I wanted Bella to take in of her Nana and always remember about her

The journaling reads:Bella and Nana ( I don't ever forget (right now) how good she smells, her snuggles,cuddles, and kisses, her wonderful generous giving nature, how beautiful she is inside and out, but most of all how much she absolutely ADORES... YOU!!!! Happy Birthday In Heaven Nana!! we love you and we miss you terribly!

A hurricane and some new layouts

I have made some new pages this week. I have another I just need to put a title on. I hope to do that today so I will post that tomorrow. I've been really tired and achey with this cold weather after Hurricane Zeta. We were fortunate though, our power flickered a lot and surged, but it never went out.(unless it went off and on while I was sleeping) but our internet and tv went out. I used Data to get online and check on my cousin Angela, she is in Louisiana and I worry about her, because she is alone. So far so good. I scrapped most of the night of the hurricane before the power started surging. I was scared my lights were gonna burst, so I came in here with John. I unplugged my cricut and the laptop and my phone (it was charged up anyway, I didnt need it plugged in) The next day I was scrapping and I went to use my cricut. I got on the laptop to cut my title and I sat there clicking on the mouse and finally rembembered oh yah! Ding Dong! Internet is out. It finally came back on but I still havent cut my title. oh well, maybe I will today.

Here is the left side of a double page layout. Ill just tell you all of the journaling on both pages at one time afterwards. It's sweet. Bless JOhns heart.

This is the right side. The Journaling says: This is what I call a “necessary” layout. It’s time with her daddy doing things that I just happened to get a picture of. And I just felt it necessary to scrap. It’s 2 pages..sorry for the glare. One day l will find a place that doesn’t do that. It says “making posters for Homecoming with Dad” The Journaling reads: 1st page: Bella was on the Homecoming committee to decorAte for Homecoming that included making the hallway poster's. She painted this one in the garage and then when it got night time so she painted it on the dining room table. She drew and colored all these little kids or shall I say “Teenagers” and she cut the heads out. The faces of her classmates out of pictures. She started gluing them onto the bodies of the “Teenager cartoons” She then suckered. I mean talked her daddy into doing the rest of them. Page 2 journaling: Yes, he fussed about it as he always does but he did a good job and it was something for his daughter. So you know he would do it. I can’t remember the exact number of them all , but I believe it was around 60. They looked so cute on the poster. She did a great job on this. Her daddy did too. Their teamwork was great. This was the senior poster for 2020 (Seniors of 2021). Homecoming went off well. They did it different this year without a dance. The school rented out the movie theater and showed “Jurassic Park” At least they got to do something for Homecoming instead of it being cancelled. I think they had a good time for this being their last Homecoming. Here is another Homecoming page:

I liked the purple it matched her dress and really made it stand out. She loved her dress. Got a fantastic deal on it. I am so proud of my girl.

Here is the last one for today. Laughter. The font is Bittermilk for the title. (I had a lot of people asking me) I fussy cut all of those flowers out of a piece of Karen Foster paper. Then put little bling on the inside of them. I love this picture of her. I have it in black and white also. Its not a big photo though I don't think. I think its just a 4x6. I am loving scrapping all these casual senior photos. so much fun. such good pictures. I have more pictures of her Senior activities to scrap! So I will be online later scrapping away. I hope you have a beautiful Sunday. It is sunshiney and beautiful outside but cold. I opted for another cup of coffee this morning just because I was cold. online church was good this morning at Dayspring. He talked about Divorce. It wasnt the fire and brimstone I was expecting but he told the truth according to the word. He spoke a little on forgiveness. I have a link to Dayspring over on the side there. You can find the sermons under the sermons link (I think its a picture) OK Im off to find a snack hope you have a great day!
