Well, I'm leaving in the morning for Indiana -- my mom wants to go to her cousin's wedding, and I'm going to hang out with my cousin Kim. Jake and her kids just love each other, so it will be fun to let them play and to just chill the heck out. I'm doing good on my new "diet/lifestyle change" and haven't had sugar for almost a week. You can guess what kind of a mood I'm in, then -- I really didn't realize before just how much I regulated my moods with sugar. And the new medication I'm on is making me sick -- which I hope will last just as long as it takes my body to get used to it.
ANYWAY. Here are (finally) the pages I made to put in my mom's Mother's Day gift. (click on any image to view larger.) I also printed some of the pages that I'd given to my dad for Christmas, and this book will be a work in progress. Have a good weekend, everyone! I'll be back Monday, but I'll be pretty worthless. LOL.

Lovely pages. I've wanted to do a scrapbook as a gift for my Mum, now I'm inspired to do it. OhMyGosh, I had that same blue-checked sleeper from Target for Gav, and it was my favorite thing, along with the 'bubble' print that came in the same package.
Enjoy your visit, and I hope you're doing well health-wise.
