A Two-fer

Today I'm posting my first two creations for September's MotherLOAD scrapbook class.  


Yesterday's prompt was to scrap a goal.  Here's my take on the challenge....

The journaling reads (and yes, it's a bit sappy) ... 

"Her love of running began as a scrawny ten year old jogging the country back roads with her father.   She had no idea then that those runs were the start of a lifelong activity for her.  Fast forward forty years....a break to her clavicle in early 2010 kept her sidelined for ten months but she's happy to report that she's back on the road again and loving every mile.  As her Big Five-O quickly approaches (a fact that has her completely in denial) she has set a goal of 40 miles a month while she eases herself back into her old routine.  Some months have been good, some have been great, but whether running 40 years or 40 miles, every run is a good run and she has learned to make every mile count."                                                                           ~~ Sept. 2011 ~~

Today's prompt was to scrap about an event that made us laugh out loud.  This was definitely one of those moments....

The journaling on this one reads...

"One Sunday afternoon in January we all decided to head beachside to Shuckers for some dancing.  It didn't take us long to realize that even as “40 somethings” we were by far the juveniles of the crowd.  Never missing a beat we joined right in and got such a kick out of the snowbirds and retirees.  My personal favorite was the woman who wasn't about to let two canes stop her from dancing.  And of course we'll never forget Mickey, who found a loving spot on Kelly's bosom.  We laughed until we cried and realized that day that life truly is what you make it."                                      ~ 2011 ~           


So I'm 2/2.  Hopefully I can keep my momentum going.
