The Week That Was

We got back from our vacation last week but just when I thought we were going back to our daily routine, my girls Julia and Ally both got sick! I had to miss more days from the clinic to take care of them and I was also sick myself. They both had high grade fever with cough which kept me on my toes. Believe me, its easy for me to forget that I'm a doctor when my kids are the ones who are sick. I think it's the added pressure to make sure that they get well fast. LOL! When they were sick, I needed some scrap therapy to keep me sane. So when they were asleep and I get a couple of hours of free time, I sneaked in my scrap corner to work on some layouts.

Here are 2 layouts I finished for Scrappin Kids Challenges Fiesta:

For Cookie's Color Combo Challenge (blue, red, green, yellow, & kraft):


Title: Lean On Me
Journaling (from the song): when your'e not strong, and I'll be your friend. I'll help you carry on, for it won't be long, till I'm gonna need somebody to lean on. Used Creative Imaginations; Scenic Route Sonoma; Basic Grey Offbeat pps; Chatterbox chipboard sticker; AC thickers; Prima stamp.
