This will most likely be my last post this week: I am going into surgery on Thursday afternoon. I’m not worried about the actual procedure; I’m confident in my doctor. But I don’t like the idea that I’m going to be cut into, that I’m going to have subcutaneous stitches, that I’ll be in pain, that I will have to be in bed for three weeks….. Yikes! Get a grip, Leslie
Anywhoo, James will be there. That’s all that matters. And my parents are coming into town. How sweet!
So, I will leave you all with a layout I did this weekend. Karen is challenging us scrapbookers to make a layout about ourselves, so I am submitting this one! But I’m not really happy with it. I got lazy at the end and kinda threw it together (not a method that I would recommend) My sister picked up my copy of Elsie Flannigan’s challenge book and told me to do # 42 -create a stylish photo frame. This is a picture of me on my honeymoon, which was and will be the only time you will find me in a bathing suit!
You’ll never guess what I am listening to now: The Rosslyn Chapel Motet! This man named Thomas Mitchell deciphered an ancient pattern on the walls of Rosslyn Chapel and discovered that it made a motet! So cool!
Well, folks. I am signing off for the next few days. Wish me a speedy recovery!

Leslie you’d never guess that you did this in a hurry. It looks great. Love the little collage in the corner of the photo.
Hope all goes well with your surgery. The good news is that by the time you read this it will probably all be over and you’ll be on the recovery trail. Take care of yourself.

Don’t know what surgery you’re having, but whatever you do, TAKE the 3 weeks in bed – believe me, you’ll need it. I had major surgery in January…I’m just NOW starting to feel normal again. The subcutaneous stitches are the best…really! I’ve had them three times and they work so well!
Take care, take it easy, and take advantage of any help you can get!!!

By this time I hope that you are at home and recovering and not in too much pain. I think your layout really turned out nicely. Everything on it focuses on your photo.
