AAM Monday: Project Life Weeks 11 and 12
Life is a medical story round here and that has been the focus in the past two weeks. All that stuff was looming in March but we were still looking for answers. Some things got done but but mostly it was just nice to see the signs of spring. We thought we were getting our solar panels but were stumped with a safety issue. Lots of things to require patience these two weeks. But it was a lot of fun to use spring colors on these pages. Find joy where you can.

Start of a plan
As my husband has become sicker and sicker, I have found that that situation has given me the incentive to get back to my desire to clean out the unnecessary. I got so little done this winter as the mood in our house was not good. With no real answers to his issues, I just didn't have the energy. But it's time and this was a start. The_Lilypad Template challenge for April 2019.

TBT: just one of those English days circa 1972
Another one of the TLP scrapping challenges from March 2019. This one was to take a photo, split it and frame it as if it were two different shots. Yes, 1972 on my beloved red couch, with the forest green walls in the background. How trendy I was with my velour animal print pillow covers! Old is new again.
One thing I hadn't noticed that a fellow scrapper pointed out...the extra large cuffs on my son's shirt. Yep, it was the 70s and I imagine his collar had had 'matching' long points. And his overalls were on trend then too. His hair was his own and I imagine he'd be glad to have half of that 50 years down the road.
What I love about challenges is that if often gives me a chance to tell old random heritage stories before I forget a lot of them.
