February Gloom ...

Hurry Up Spring, I'm so tired of the cold, gloomy days of Winter. I know I shouldn't be rushing time, but I need to see some green grass and hear the birds chirping again. I know I shouldn't be complaining because we've had such a mild winter here in Connecticut, but I'm ready for Spring, how about you? I'm lucky I have a hobby that takes my mind off of all the yucky weather though, sometimes I sit down and scrap for hours, it allows me to relive moments from the past, days when the sun was out, vacations I'd like to do all over again and time with people whom I miss very much most days. Here are some of my latest pages, not all of them of course, then you'd be bored stiff, but a few that I actually am OK with sharing. Enjoy ...

The Day after Morgan's college graduation, we came home and took pictures since the actual graduation day was filled with clouds and rain. Time went so fast that afternoon we realized too late that we had no pictures, so I insisted that Morgan dress back up in her cap and gown and pose for me, she did it with a smile, I guess she's gotten used to her momma always pulling out a camera.

A picture taken of Morgan the morning of her College Graduation, we were waiting in our hotel room to leave for the festivities, little did we know the skies would open up and the rain would pour down upon us, but nothing could have taken away our smiles ... my baby graduated.

The next page is one where you actually get to see me biting into a Softshell Crab Sandwich, which for me is quite a feat, since I don't care for seafood or shellfish of any kind, but to make my friend Monica smile, I gave it a try and it wasn't even all that bad. I get to go visit Monica and her family next week in North Carolina, can't wait to see them all again, though I think I'll pass on the Softshell Crab this time around.

This page was done in answer to a challenge on a scrappy board to use a variety of patterned papers, I cut multiple papers into thin strips and adhered them to the background paper. It was a task that took awhile, but I loved the outcome.

Hope your winter is going well and that you'll soon be enjoying Spring in your corner of the world.
