DD 11 all about Santa

Every year my mom talks to Santa and has him send my little one a letter. I am done with the page but I might try and add a pocket of her reading the letter later but here is how the page is so far.


I had this cute zip strip that said hohoho and that adorable little I love Santa saying. Well I knew I wanted to incorporate it but was not sure how then I had the brilliant idea to make the Santa saying a banner of sorts and attach it to the hohoho so I found some light paper and stuck it to that punched some holes and made a little flip tag.

 

Here you can see that the little bit of journaling I did here can be seen. and it was a fun way to have a little bit of interaction on the page. The 11 down in the corner is actually some lower case L's that I had on a old letter sheet.

 

This is as far as I have gotten in my December Daily though I do have more pages planned I am hoping to use some of my Sunday scrapping time to complete this super fun mini album. I have really enjoyed doing it this year errr last year.

DD9...life unexpected

Day nine seemed like any other winter day...ok ok it wasn't we have been having unseasonably hot weather here this month  but it was like a regular day. Nothing to exciting happened so I was not real sure what my page would be today maybe fill it in with some cute wrapping paper or something. Well about 11 o'clock at night I get a phone call...that can't be good everyone knows I go to bed super early. It was my son-in-law telling me that my daughter is having a hard time breathing and wants me to take her to the ER. Well that woke me right up!!

 

I hopped in the car to go get her. I of course hit every single red light. We get there and they immediately got her settled into a room and give her a breathing treatment and take her vitals. Came back to check on her the breathing treatment should have worked better so they ran a ton of tests gave her another breathing treatment...took her in for a CAT scan. That wasn't scary at all. They wanted to do that because they wanted to check for a blood clot since she is young and healthy. She came back good to go with that...thank God! The x-rays showed that she had a lot of flem and swelling in her lungs so they went ahead and admitted her. She ended up staying two nights!

Turns out she is very allergic to her sisters dog. She goes over there and babysits so that my other daughter and son in law can work...2nd and 3rd shifts, So now they all have to make some changes and decisions about sitters and shifts.

Today's page has some hidden journaling on it since that is a long story.
