Happy Tuesday!!! I am happy to report that Hurricane Sandy has passed and where I live we didn't see to much damage. We were fortunate to only have lost our lights briefly and the kids only missed two days of school....with that being said, my heart goes out to NJ & NY. It is so heartbreaking to see so many with so much devastation....My heart goes out to all who are dealing with Hurricane Sandy's aftermath.
Was it a good weekend??? Saturday ended up being a very productive day in my house. We got our fall yard clean up done (well, almost), and lots of laundry and house cleaning, and then on Sunday Abbey (my daughter) had her first gymnastics competition of the season and I am happy to report that she did great, and so did her team...wahooo...it was a sucessful first meet. As you know, we had to turn the clocks back on Sat night and as the rest of Sunday went on, I was feeling like it was 48 hrs long...Not sure about you, but it seemed like the longest day EVER!!!!! The only thing I hate about turning the clocks back is the fact that it gets dark so early in the day (4ish), and to add to that it is also COLD now (18 degrees tonight with possible snow). Winter is on it's way....ARGH....How much longer till summer???? LOL...
So, are you asking yourself "what the heck did she make for this weeks challenge"...hehehe...with
this weeks challenge being "DIGI:, I thought I would go WAY out of the box and show you what I make with a image I used from a google search.....As you know, I have been doing a lot of altered journalingg lately and this week I wanted to chouw you one of the the first journal pages I made. Often I use journaling as a way of coping with lifes stressors. Some how getting things down on paper seems to help me...So when I made this 2 page journal layout, I wanted to do 2 of the same but different...I used a "digi" image I obtained from the internet and then traced it on watercolor paper and what "
Dylusion" crazy from there....and as I look at this page all I can see is my terrible handwriting....UGH..letting go, letting go....Letting it go!!!

I would like to share a tradition that we have in our house. We have an ELf on The Shelf and everynight he moves while we are sleeping, well, last night he was fresh. He opened our flour and made elf angels in the flour......I have to admit, it was a big hit with the kids.....Do you have an elf on the shelf???? I would love to hear your stories.
