Any Given Sunday.....

Any given Sunday, here's what you'll see in my house......our family is die-hard Dallas fans and unfortunately this year......yuck! With Romo out for 6-8 weeks it doesn't look like Dallas is going to the playoffs this year. Not that they were doing any good before he got hurt......


I was chosen as Star of the Day at ScrapAttackScrapbooking.com with this spirited layout of my co-workers at UD! The photo was taken to show school spirit for Homecoming, which is this coming Saturday November 6th. Since the picture was 8x10 it was a challenge to scrap but fun too!

The other layout is one I did of the Mud Run the kids did earlier this month. It was held in Middletown and was a 5K through all sorts of muddy obstacles. Dani said she even had mud in her ears when she was done! It was for a good cause, to raise money for cancer research. The kids named their team after Burt (Bubba's Bruisers) and managed to raise $160.00!


Speaking of Burt, he is doing about the same. The chemo wears him out, he has to sleep it off for a few days and since it leaves a metallic taste in his mouth he doesn't feel like eating. This coming week he is off chemo so hopefully he'll feel better soon. He had a CA 19-9 test done and the numbers are still high. Normal is under 37, his was 5184. I know, I know, that's astronomically high, but considering his number six weeks ago was 5304......at least they're moving in the right direction.......down. We are just taking it day by day, rejoicing in the good days and trying to make the bad days pass quickly. Thanks for keeping him in your prayers.

Sketch 125 from Creative Scrappers!

Creative Scrappers posted this fun sketch for this week and ScrapAttack is one of their sponsors! I loved the sketch and couldn't wait to try it!

I used some old Scenic Route papers that I had in my stash, thought they'd be perfect for this photo. It's a picture of Robert and Anna Renee from 1987. I think we were getting ready to go to church. They loved the Dr. Seuss book so I used that for the title.....

Chemo today

Burt had chemo (Gemzar) today and also started on the pill form of chemo called Tarceva. After he was done we came home and he slept for 7 hours! I guess it really tires you out. I finally woke him up because I was worried his sugar might drop too low if he didn't eat something.

We will see this weekend how he tolerates it, hopefully it will be okay. He has another round next week and then he's off for a week.


I did get a chance to scrap a little bit this week, I'm so far behind on my monthly challenges at ScrapAttack I'll never catch up! I won Star of the Day with this layout of Burt and his brothers
