My hat goes off

to single moms, moms whose husbands are away protecting our country or moms whose husbands have past away. My husband has had to work 2 double 16 hour shifts which means he worked from 10 pm to 6 am and 7 am to 3 pm yesterday and today. Can I tell you all that I am SO beat and this is only from playing the single mom role for only 2 days. So I have a new found respect for the moms out there who do it every day, over and over and over again.

So I did this layout for a girlfriend





can I just say that I SO SCRAPLIFTED IT from http://michouscrap.canalblog.com/ on her September 7 post. As soon as I saw her layout I fell in love with it and I knew it was perfect for the picture. And best believe that I will use it to do one for our girls, actually, I almost took off the picture and added my own picture but the little angel on my right shoulder told me NOT to.
My girl La Verne once said to me, "just because you use someones layout as inspiration does NOT mean that your layout is not yours" so I will go with that. The pictures do not really show the 3 different papers I used in the center. I left the top part blank so that they can journal a little something and as for the little crown, it can come off if Daddy does not like it. It was a lot of fun to do and my girlfriend loved it and was very grateful. Kinda feels good to do something nice for someone ;D

Anyhow, I am off to scrap since it's nice and quiet for a change because Hurricane Solimar as my girl Tamrod likes to call her and Tropical Storm Angejolie are sound asleep. Have a great night.
