Scrapping has been keeping me sane

Although I cannot post my August sneak yet, I am absolutely in love with how it turned out. I will definitely share as soon as I can.

For the time being, here are a few new layouts I have been busy on:

So stressful!

The waiting that is. I have some important testing tomorrow which is making me quite anxious. Hopefully all will go well and I will have some good news to share soon. I've come to realize that it is going to be too hard to continue working for NRCS while this transition happens - its so hard to see a place I loved to work go through this change. Hopefully I will be able to move on to new and exciting things soon and not have to deal with the added stress remaining at my current position will cause. Everything seems to be happening fast so I have faith we will know soon.

Here's my July reveal

I received some uber cool goodies in my kit this month from the Scrapping Turtle. The paper is the Family Collection by Carollee's Creation. Add some cardstock stickers, buttons, ribbon and bling - perfect fit! Here's what I came up with:

Wow, another month gone

I cannot even tell you what I've done since I last posted - I just don't know where the time's gone! I'll try to update everyone though:
We were told Laura had a cyst on her leg. She was referred to a specialist to have it removed but through some "trauma" to the area it erupted. Since then she's had 5 doctor appointments, a course of antibiotics and now a topical medical creme. The creme was prescribed last week by a Dermatologist who outlined he feels its a 'fungus'. On the good side, it now seems to be clearing up. All the 'fluid' which was creating the infection has now been removed and the area is now slightly pinkish (rather than full blown red). The four openings where the fluid drained have begun to heal over and we are now hoping with a few more days of creme will disappear completely. She will still be attending a follow up appointment with the Dermatologist in August to confirm nothing else needs to be done.
Laura completed grade 1.
We travelled to Belleville for a week at the end of June/ early July. Lots of fun. The girls loved their time there and are continuing to talk about going back.
We bought a new car! Here's my new baby:

Another month on the DT at the Scrapping Turtle. This board is oddles of fun and I have such a great team to work with! I'll post my reveal soon but will share my sneak now:

Mike is working hard at completing the shed. It now has walls and a roof. He's hoping to get the door installed later this week and then the shingles and siding.

We are heading to Brimley next weekend to camp. It will be our first camping trip of the year and we are truly looking forward to it.

Ok, I think that brings you up to date with most of the happenings recently.
