Rakscraps Blog Challenge
It really depends on the pictures I am scrapping. I have used everything from orange, to purple to tan. I have realized lately that when I am buying kits my eyes are attracted to cooler colors.
2. What is your favorite kit theme? (like boys, girls, heritage, special event, etc)
Definately a toss up between boys and girls kits.
3. What are your favorite elements to use when you scrap?
I love using ribbons and bows and I have been on a flower kick lately.
4. Describe your style (even if you don't think you have one!)
I think I would describe my style as "clean and simple" I don't like things over crowed when I do (but love it on others).
5. If you could have one kit made especially for you, what would it be for?
I have HUNDREDS of photos from our Christmas in Hawaii from 2004. A lot of them were taken while we were all wearing out coordinating "Christmas Hawaiian" shirts which have a lot of red & green in them. The Christmas kits just don't have the Hawaiian spirit and all the Hawaiian/Beach kits are typically too bright. See the photo below so you can see an example

ER Last Night
I watched it and it was really emotional for me. My mother has ALS as does her older brother. By Uncle is already on a vent but we hardly ever see him. Like MAYBE once a year. After seeing the episode last night my parents were talking and have decided to get paperwork drawn up saying that my mom doesn't want to be on a vent when it comes to that point. They have already had problems with the doctor in the ER trying to "push" procedure on them so after seeing that last night on the show it is really prompting them to put stuff in writing. We will of course all sit down as a family and talk everything out in the near future, but it is still hard to think about it.
Shows like this really accurate display ALS patients and are like a looking glass for us to see what the future will hold for my mom (since we really don't see my uncle). She was diagnosed 4 years ago and it has not rapidly progressed, and my uncle was diagnosed in 1992 but he is in the end stages. She still talks, drives, walks functions basically like you and I with some modifications to make it easier for her. For example during long distances she uses either forearm crutches or her motorized chair.
I am kind of rambling here, but I wanted to share with my friends how I was feeling today.
On a totally differnt note ... ScrapMommies is up and running again! YAHOO! Now to figure out which LO's I need to post to get my Kit from last month.
