LOAD Day's 14, 15 and 16

Here is Day 14, 15, and 16. I'm a little behind but I new that would happen at this time. I was planning for it and expecting it so it's not a problem. I am still planning on completing 31 layouts by January 31st which was my goal, not to be worrying about not completing a layout every single day.

I'm unable to post the pictures but will do so later tonight when I get home. Technical Difficulties!

Edited to add pictures

It's Cold outside

We woke up to -16 F yesterday morning. This picture is taken out on the deck looking to the west.

Sisterhood of Scrap has a new Sketch up on their blog and I thought that their quote of the day fit perfectly for my layout.


After snowing several days, 1 - 3 inches at a time, we were able to say we finally had a White Christmas.

Football...

This picture was taken Thanksgiving morning. The temperature was really cool outside about 20 degrees F. and it was just starting to snow. My youngest son was playing in the Annual Thanksgiving Day Football Game.

I did a digital layout for today. Izzy went to the vet's today and it takes the spunk right out of a little dog. So she wants to spend the day on someones lap and trying to leave work for two hours just makes it hard to pull the supplies out and scrap. So I cheated and did a digital layout.
