February.....waiting for spring!

I finally took our Christmas tree down. We had lightning and thunder with last Thursday's snowstorm, believe it or not. Russanne said that that was Burt telling me to take the tree down so I did! LOL

I had a chance to scrap the other day and tried to do one of the color challenges over at ScrapAttackScrapbooking.com. I read the directions wrong and ended up with this layout.

Luckily for me, it fit the criteria for a different challenge, Scrap Your Stash, so I used it for that! If you're a scrapper, you know that your "stash" is constantly growing and it's a challenge to use old stuff before you use the new stuff you buy. Everything on this layout I've had for a long while so I was happy to use it!

I really miss Burt and it's a struggle some days to get out of bed. He has been gone for almost 2 months now. I am still working on getting all this paperwork straightened out and hope I am not making any mistakes with it. There are things around the house that need to be done and BJ and Dani are helping with those. I'm just going to take it one day at a time for a while until I feel that things are "normal" again (whatever normal is....). I am thankful for all my family, friends and co-workers (you know who you are!), who take time to talk with me about where I am and what's going on right now. I realize that everyone has some stressful situation going on in their lives and I am trying to put mine in perspective. I hope that reaching out to others who are going through something will help me deal with my life. We will see.
