Scrapbook.com May Scrap Your Pet Challenge

I did this page for the Scrap Your Pet Challenge at Scrapbook.com. I got the collar in the Dollar Bin at Target. Unfortunately I had to throw it away after not too very long, because everytime Foxy would pull on her cord the buckle would open and she would run off.

4=50

I managed to do 4 layouts yesterday for a total of 50 so far this year. The past 2 years I had a goal to do 365 projects or an average of 1 per day. In 2009 I managed 211 with feeling like crud all summer and then spending September to December in and out of the hospital. In 2010 with the hospitalizations I still managed 282 (I counted cards, minis, etc not just layouts that year). Being hospitalized at the beginning of the year put me behind for this year, but now that I know my chemo will be outpatient over the next few months maybe I can catch up some.#47 "Monkey Love" (Sketch~Pencilines 231) CS~Joann's, PP~Daisy Bucket, Flowers~Prima & Kaiserkraft, Letters~Thickers and Making Memories, Bling~Michael's
