Loving my Time Off!

Even though it was very unexpected—I am loving my time off!!  As many of you know I shattered my ankle in January—which is still healing and as far as I am concerned—it’s taking toooooo long to get the use of my ankle back.  But it’s coming, and the doctor told me it would take at least a year, so considering that I have come a long ways.  Well than the 2nd blow I was dealt was losing my job on Feb 28th.  I was devastated!!!  But I am another casualty of the economy and after 15 years of service to my boss I was out of a job.  But I am finally coming to terms with it and I am trying to make the best of it.  I have been feeling sorry for myself for the past few months and instead of making good use of my time off I have been wallowing in self pity!!  Well I am finally starting to feel a bit better, and each day will get better.  I need to make some serious choices in my life as far as where do I go from here.  I am 55 years old and I do have a lot of good qualities to offer—but I also love my digi scrapping, so I am coming to the point that I am going to try and give designing my best effort!!  I have learned a lot, but I still have a lot to learn.  So I am going to seriously start creating and see where I get with it.  It is a very competitive area and there are a lot of excellent designers out there—I am not even sure there is even any room for someone like me out there, but I won’t know unless I try.  So as I learn I will share with you.
Now as you all know I am on Kimb’s CT and she has a new kit in the store today called Timeless Elegance.  It is a gorgeous kit that was made because she had a request from a couple of close friends.  This was the perfect kit for me too because I have been working on my stepson’s wedding album and these were the colors of the wedding.  Black, red, grays—perfect!!  And it comes with a bonus free alpha with the purchase of the kit.

Here is the LO that I made using the kit and I must credit this page to akizo—I scraplifted her page because I sooo loved it.
