:: Happy Monday! ::

Yeh, I know, for most people Monday’s aren’t that happy. It signals a return to the dreaded work week. But I couldn’t think of anything else to name this post - LOL! I hope you all had a great Father’s Day and were able to spend time with family. My MIL got this idea to let Jordan make her daddy a cake - all by herself! So they went to the store on Saturday, and bought cake mix and frosting. My MIL measured the oil and water for her, but she let her do everything else. She’s a braver woman than I am! She said there was egg running down the front of the cabinets (five year olds don’t have a lot of experience cracking eggs!) and there was cake batter on the cabinets, floor and side of the microwave! I was not present for the festivities, but I can just imagine how it went!

She even let her pour it in the pan and set it in the oven (with help of course!) When the cake was done, she just couldn’t wait to frost it! And she didn’t quite wait long enough, because it was a bit thin where it “melted!” Of course my MIL said she ate as much frosting as she put on the cake. Then she found one of Logan’s die cast cars and insisted in shoving down in the middle of the cake! When she and my MIL brought the cake to our house, she was just so proud of herself! It was not the prettiest of cakes, but it did taste good! And Daddy was happy, so that’s all that mattered!

::::::::::::::::::

I actually got a couple of layouts done this weekend too! Imagine that! You can see the credits HERE.

You can see credits HERE.

Thanks for today’s freebie. I am just now learning how to do a layout in PSE and I haven’t tried using templates yet. I needed this type of template so it was offered at a great time! Thanks again and I hope to one day have pages turn out as great as you do!

The photos of your daughter in the beach are really cute. And the layout with photos of her in black and white and just one of the photos with the detail of her boots in colour is really great. Thanks for sharing them.

Sorry to read about your back problems and I hope the therapy will help you with them.

And thanks a million for the template. I have never tried that technique, even though I have read tutorials and a template will come handy when trying something like that.

Best wishes. :o)

Happy Monday to you too!

So that’s good news Traci that at least you have “some” form of treatment started that can hopefully help you or at least take you to the next step…and having someone who’s “easy on the eye”, well that’s not too hard to take either - LOL! I’m really glad to hear that you have begun your path to healing. Btw, anti-inflamatories in any form (rubs, patches, etc.) have never helped me either. I have custom compounds perscribed but even they are if-eee.

Thanks for the neat “tear share” and please keep posting updates. Keep well and try to do what they say because if you don’t, you really won’t know if it will help (pt does nothing for me but in your case it might). Your in my thoughts and prayers.
