Wicked good weekend...and freebie, too


Wow - what a fabulous weekend I had! Got to escape the day-to-day and scrap with some good friends and just hang out - it was fabulous! Got to give a shout-out to all my Peachy friends - thanks for a great w/e! I didn't get a whole lot done - but that may have had something to do with the fact that I was torn between 3 different projects (2 of them paper - eeeek!) and I was really tired...I even slept until 10am on Sunday - haven't done that in forever. Then, I got to go home (thanks for driving, Gail!) and get all dressed up to see "Wicked" at the Fabulous Fox Theatre with my hubby - fun!! It was awesome!

So - in the spirit of sharing, here are some grungy, swirly papers for you - you can either click the preview above or HERE to get them. Enjoy!!

My uncle continues to improve - hopefully, he will be moving to a PT/rehab part of the hospital to work on regaining full function in his left foot/leg. He still has a long way to go so your prayers would be appreciated still.

On the home front - my hubby, Bennett, is still slated to be on a project in Fla starting next Monday - this means 5 to 6 days a week travel and he may only be home about 30 hours each w/e....can you tell I'm freaking out about this???? Being a solo parent, handling all the kids, work, house, homeschool, having no partner around - not to mention the fact that he's my best friend and I miss him.....it just sucks when he travels. It's so hard on all of us....even him! BUT - he is meeting with a big company HQ'ed about 5 miles from our house today - if that works out then he might be able to make a fabulous career move and have ZERO travel....talk about an answer to prayer!!

Have a wonderful Halloween - check out some of my earlier posts to grab some Thanksgiving freebies & maybe I'll even post again before Turkey Day! Take care, Meg

Jessica Sprague Freebie & Grungy Tgiving final elements


OK - sorry to be out of the loop - my uncle had HUGE surgery to replace part of his aorta due to an extremely large aneurysm. He's still in ICU and they hope to start weaning him off the ventilator today. But - I have a grateful heart because the surgery was extremely risky (85% chance of survival and 50% chance of paralysis and/or major organ failure) but - he is doing great - has moved his arms and legs, his kidney function is good and his lungs (so far) are staying clear of infection. He is not out of the woods yet - a lot could still go wrong - I'd be grateful for your prayers for healing, no infections, peace for my aunt & our family and for a strong recovery.

But - you are here for the freebie - right?? OK - the final installment of Grungy Tgiving. Click HERE or on the preview picture for the download. Happy Scrapping!! Check back soon for some fun swirly grungy papers I'm working on........Take care, Meg

Grungy T'giving - Part 2


So - talk about a week of ups & downs. It's been great having Bennett around (his project with AT&T finished up & they haven't decided which new BI project he's going to be on next). Then my fave Aunt Carol came to visit - the most creative person on the planet - she organized a closet and helped me rearrange the kids' rooms...yea! But, the reason she's in town is because my uncle (her brother) has an aortic aneurysm and is having surgery next week. Just too many bad things can go wrong with that kind of surgery....keep him and us in your prayers!

OK - on to happier things. The first part of Grungy Thanksgiving was available this Monday....what's a kit without some alphas? Here are 3 sparkly alphas, some word art and some pictures to coordinate with the papers that you already have. You can click HERE on on the preview to get them....Enjoy!
