Weekend Update

It has been an interesting weekend. Yesterday morning my Mom got a call that my Grandma was having difficulty breathing and her blood pressure was really low. She is almost 98 years old. So my Mom spent most of yesterday at the nursing home with Grandma. She isn't doing well at all. Every time the phone rings I worry that its going to be the call that she is gone. It seems to be just a matter of time. I know when she does pass away that she will be at peace and reunited with my Grandfather.

So the entire weekend was overshadowed with not knowing what was going to happen with my Grandma. Yesterday I had to go to work for a few hours then I got a few groceries before going home. Melinda got home a short time later and we had dinner and watched "Monsters, Inc," "Finding Nemo," and "The Incredibles." Though Melinda fell asleep during the "The Incredibles."

She had today off so we both got up early and made cinnamon rolls and watched "Brother Bear," "Brother Bear 2," "Lady and the Tramp," "Oliver and Company," "101 Dalmations," and are now watching "The Aristocats." Though we took a break from Disney movies to watch "The Amazing Race." The part with the cheese rolling down the hill was hilarious!!! Melinda and I couldn't stop laughing. What an awesome challenge.

On Friday a bunch of the ScrapMatters designers teamed up to release "Twice as Nice" collab kits. Britt was in a group of three and released a "Thrice is Nice" collab kit called "Tiny Dancer." This was the perfect kit to use for my dance photos that I haven't scrapped yet.

Tiny Dancer - These are photos from before my first dance recital.



En pointe - Photos from the first time I danced en pointe. It was such an incredible experience.



Time of my life - For the Tuesday Template challenge at ScrapMatters. Photo is of a pair of my pointe shoes. I had the idea for this layout at like 1:00 am the one night.



Silly Old Bear - For the Saturday Special at ScrapMatters and last week's challenge at the DISboards which was to scrap Pooh and Friends. I used photos of when we met Pooh at MGM Studios in 2007, though I put the wrong date on the layout. I need to fix that.



Amazed - This was for another Tuesday template challenge at ScrapMatters and this week's challenge at the DISboards. Photo is from Animal Kingdom in 2007. We found this really pretty place while walking around the park that was the perfect setting for some photos.



Sweet Dreams - This was for the Speed Scrap the other night at ScrapMatters. Part of the instructions was to use a photo from your most recently downloaded photos. I had a bunch of cute ones of Cassie. And when the instructions said to use something from the sky I thought this photo of her sleeping would be perfect. I love how this one turned out.



Melissa Lynn - On Sundays Britt is hosting this fabulous new challenge at ScrapMatters called "My Story Matters." This week the challenge was to scrap about our name. I jumped right on this challenge and love how it turned out. Though there isn't anything really interesting about how my name was chosen. It was a name my parents liked and my middle name is the same as my Mom's.



That is all for now. Going to go finish watching the "The Aristocats" with Draco and Cassie and finish the laundtry.

Later!
