August update

Boy can you believe it, August has come to an end...in one way it's been and extremely long month but in another seems to have passed in a flash... where does the time go?

It's been a busy month for me but can't say I've done any scrapping this month,besides one class on the 15th... the page is still sitting on my table waiting to be finished!

This month has included:
1. Lots of trips backwards and forward to the hospital and then to the rehab visiting my Mom
2. Dealing with a sick child
3. Going to Joburg Theatre to see Sister Act
4. Going to Monte Casino's Pieter Tourien Theatre to see Little Shop of Horrors
5. An afternoon visit with old friends... Aaron got to ride a horse
6. A weekend away at Magalies Park
7. A visit with my Great Aunt (who is 98) and spending time with my Mom's cousins
8. A trip in a hot air balloon with Aaron - total awesome and well worth doing again!
9. Keith has been in Canada for two weeks visiting his family
10. Mom moved in with us for the same two weeks to continue her recovery from the fall and hip replacement

Phew.... and never mind the work and extra overtime, plus training of a new lady at work... and taking Mom for a checkup at the eye doctor (she will be having another round of injections starting in Sept). It's been a tad BUSY I'd say!

So now you know what I've been up to and why there haven't been any updates.... hopefully things will return to a form of normalcy in September and I can get back to scrapping.

Blog catch up

It's been a few weeks since I last posted...life took a twist when Mom took a tumble nearly three weeks ago and landed up in hospital with a broke hip.  I haven't touched my scrapping stuff besides one Saturday class that I had booked before this all happened.Hopefully I will find a few hours soon where I can scrap and rejuvenate myself.  For now it's work, family and going back and forth with hospital/rehab visits to see Mom.  Thankfully she is well on the way to recovery and will soon be mobile and independent again.

So for now, here is a catch up post of two layouts that I missed showcasing at the end of July for Scrapbook Challenges. Remember you can see what the rest of the team did by just clicking on the links below.

Flashback Friday - Sketch 226

Sketch 449

I haven't done much else since these layouts so it will be a while before I post again... I do have some projects in progress so look out soon for some more inspiration.

Just as a side note: today is the third anniversary of my Dad's death. Besides a few odd moments of remembering him the day has actually been fairly easy to get through.  It was a lot harder back in July on his birthday.  Remembering Dad always brings a smile to my face.  The sadness is when I think of what he is missing out on, but I can safely say that he is rejoicing with Jesus, so maybe it's us who are missing out?
