The Bet/Sketch N Scrap August Reveal

Hi! It is the 15th of August and it is time for Sketch N Scrap's reveal for the second sketch.  Here is the sketch and my layout:

The sketch calls for a 5x7 or larger photo.  I didn't have one so I used a 4x6 photo.  I changed the top to do my journaling in one spot.  Otherwise I kept mostly to the sketch.  The supplies I used are from various collections from Elle's Studio.

Now to explain the picture...Since January I have been attending boot camp with some coworkers.  We have been exercising and working on getting healthy!  A friend of mine, Michelle is a big Alabama Crimson Tide fan.  In Alabama there are two main teams, Alabama and Auburn.  I am a big Auburn Tigers fan!  We made a bet to who can lose the most weight in the month of April.  If I won she had to wear an Auburn shirt all day at work.    If she won I had to wear an Alabama shirt. We also had to take a picture and post it on Facebook.  I LOST by 1 pound!! Oh well! You win some and lose some!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Molly

Last week I had to have my dog, Molly put down.  I have had her for over 15 years.  It was devastating.  Two years ago she was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure.  Two months ago she started coughing real bad with some other problems.  I took her to the vet fearing the worst.  The fluid had started building up around her heart and in her lungs.  The vet gave her some meds to help the cough.  We talked about what was about to come.  I started preparing myself.  Then one day she stopped eating and became weak.  I called the vet and took her in.  By then she had stopped coughing all together and was so weak she could not stand.  The vet told me it was time.  

Molly was a wonderful dog.  She was a lap dog.  She would sit in my lap or at my feet.  She would follow me from room to room.  She was around 18 years old.  In human years she was 88.  I will truly miss her.

This past weekend I went to a crop and scrapbooked these two layouts celebrating my Molly.

Thanks for stopping by.
