Oh My!!

Had the appointment with the orthodontist Thursday to let me know how much it's going to cost to fix B~man's teeth. I was nervous and anxious the whole way up there, my mind thinking of what will I cut out when I get the amount. B~man is listed as requiring 'comprehensive orthodontic treatment'.......in other words not just braces to straighten teeth. The poor kid's jaw doesn't align, he has a baby tooth up front that is still hanging on (he's 11.5), the two incisors haven't dropped, will require a gum graft in a few years (totally different specialty).............*sigh* I feel bad for the kid with all that he will be going through. In true B~man fashion though he's ready to go, and said he can't wait until he can smile and feel good about it (yes, I did the little *sniff*). It will be a long haul........almost 3 years but will soooo be worth it.

Off track I got didn't I? The cost...........let's just say I will be making a used car payment for the next 2 years. I can stop searching for good deals on a trip to Florida for March Break next year, lol.

Scrappping news---Studio mgl has this insane crazy sale going on. You can buy her whole store for $19.99.........CU included! It's only on until the 9th though so you better hurry.
Final layouts for the Battle of the Creative Teams at DSA are due on Sunday............eeeek I haven't even started!!!
What else am I up to? Oh!! I won a GC for one of the Studio Collectives over at SBG for my August Desktop entry, that was pretty cool. think I'm going to get Impressions of Whimsy.
Hit the new release sale over at The DigiChick on Thursdayand picked up Sugarplum Paperie's kit, Pretty Little Picnic . Already played with it, it is sooo cute.

Freebie Time!!
I have a template for you today and the inspiration for my template. The kit used in my layout is the August Mega:Confetti and Cupcakes over at Scrap Orchard. I made this for the Mega challenge over there.

Enjoy and have a wonderful weekend!!

Productive and a Free Template

Summer came back!! Yep, the sun was out, blue sky and white puffy clouds. The temperature also climbed up to where it should be, warm but still more than bearable to keep the windows open. I love my AC but if I can have a breeze and windows open I'm all over it.

It did make me long for the house though with my fish pond and my laundry line. I could just smell my sheets blowing in the wind *sigh*. I am now bound and determined to find a way to construct a laundry line on my little space (can we say 15 feet) that I can put away so I may have my fresh outdoor smell bedding. Think I've figured out a spot it just means I can't sit on my deck while the sheets are drying and I could only do one bed at a time. But when then there's a will there's a way!!

Today was a bit better of a day I must say. Thank you Heather for the kind comment you left :)
I did another monochromatic layout today, all white except the purple flowers in my pics, very different for me but I felt like stepping outside of my comfort zone. The kit I used was Dreams in Colour: Light by Studio mgl (I might add all the DiC series is on for 50% off, individual or bundled) and I'm pleased with how it turned out.
The kit, my layout and then the template.
