Anne's Place: A boring weekend!

Well, Anna had her birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday. My daughter said Anna had so much fun! I had been so looking forward to going but I sent myself into a really bad FMS flare and could barely sit.

I went to Michael's on Thursday to pick up a few things. I really, really needed adhesive but of course bought a few other things too. I spent my bad habit money (cig and soda money) but I figure scrapping is a lot more healthy than smoking! I'll smoke OP's I guess this week LOL!

I rarely get to spend any money on scrap supplies so it was fun. What wasn't fun however was getting home from Michael's! Mind you if you drive it's only maybe 10 minutes away. It's actually easier to get to Michael's from work (which is a lot further away!) than it is from my apartment! I use public transportation since I gave up my car to help support Anna, blech. Getting home from Michael's I would have had to take the 109 bus towards either Chester and get the 114, or towards Clifton, then get the trolley and then the 114. Either way I would have had to wait an hour for the 114. No way I'm waiting an hour at night in either Chester or Sharon Hill! Sharon Hill is better but no thank you.

So I got the happy idea to walk home from Michael's. I figured, heck it's only 3 1/2 miles. Well, I made it 4 1/2 miles after deciding I knew a "short cut"! I also need to get it through my thick skull that I'm 45 years old now and not 25 and have a harder time dealing with my FMS pain. To heck with the heart disease, as long as I take my meds I keep that in check. The FMS however is another story! Anyone who has to deal with it can understand what I mean. So I missed Anna's Chuck E. Cheese party, I really wanted to go too. I hate FMS!! Oh well, at least my daughter and Dom took loads of pictures! I'll get them developed on payday, I can't wait to see them!

I did keep myself busy with scrapping though. This one is a digi one that I made using the pics of Anna and her birthday cake. All the digital elements are from Scrap Girls.

This one is paper and was for a Scraplift the Person Before You challenge at Scrapbook.com. I lifted from SandiLL and of course I did one of Anna!

And, I also made some cards! I'm really enjoying making cards. I joined a card challenge at Scrapbook.com and I'm so glad I did. It's been really inspirational seeing all the gorgeous cards everyone is making.

This one is for my Aunt Jen
