Arwen from February 2007 LO

I just scrapped a page of Arwen from February of 2007, it was her first time in our backyard after arriving back in the USA from adopting her in China. I used Danielle Young’s  Sweet Baby Cakes kit and I submitted it into her Weekly Challenge and won a $10 GC to her store!!!!   I will love shopping there!

Arwen will get her 2nd set of Ear Tubes surgically placed tomorrow!

Also tomorrow night we have about 16 singers coming over to our house to have a BBQ Baby Back Rib dinner and then rehearse and record a large choral work Todd has composed for a competition.  It will be submitted annonymously.  The Master Chorale will perform the winning piece!  Regardless it is a Great work and a Great accomplishment.   I look forward to singing the Alto part!

New LO Aubrey Christmas 2006

I have been away from the things I love to do for a while due to a badly pinched nerve in my lower neck/upper back area.  It is now at a tolerable level of pain….with pain medication around the clock.
I am just glad to be feeling a lot better.
Arwen will get her second set of ear tubes placed this Tuesday, then in three weeks we will have another hearing test done.  She has not passed a hearing test yet.  We definately noticed an improvement following the first set of tubes so we hope this will do it.  Please say a prayer for her.

I used  Danielle Yong’s   Drama Queen kit  for this LO

I remember taking pictures of my niece wearing this dress, I would have never guessed then that I would have a daughter of my own that would be wearing the same dress someday!  God has blessed us so much!

BTW, if you want to have a go at Digital Scrapboooking Snowmoons Designs as a lovely Freeblie kit on her blog. It is called Enchanted Garden. She has posted 3 portions of it so far. Her link can be found in the right hand column of my blog.

The Altamura Caruso International Vocal Competition 2008

Just a quick update about my husband, Todd Donovan.
He recently placed 3rd in the 2008 Altamura Caruso International Vocal Competition that took place in New York last month!  This is very exciting as he was competing among finalists from around the world.  Just had to brag for a quick moment.  Hopefully, I will get to post another LO this weekend and a family update. 
Thanks for stoppping by!

Seaside Dreams of being a Mermaid
It may be a while before I get to do another LO of this style which is more correctly referred to as a photo manipulation.
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, thanks for stopping by!
