Prayers and getting my mind off things :)

Yesterday was such a sad day.  Not only was it really depressing watching the news coverage of the bridge collapse, but I also got bad news from a couple of my friends (all unrelated to the bridge event). 

**Please say prayers for the young dad in my hometown who took his own life on Monday and left behind a wife and 1 1/2 year old daughter.  His friends and family are hurting really badly right now.

**Please say prayers for a friend of mine whose domestic partner was hit and dragged for hundreds of feet under a car while working in New Jersey a few weeks ago.  He is now off life support but is going to need a long time to recover from all of the injuries.

**Please say a prayer for one of my college roomates who is now 34 weeks pregnant and suffering from a large cyst on her ovary and pre-term labor.  She has been in/out of the hospital for the past six weeks and has been on bedrest for awhile now.  Pray that she makes it another couple of weeks before giving birth.

**Please continue to say prayers for all the people affected by the bridge collapse here in Minneapolis.

To get my mind off this bad stuff, I spent quite some time yesterday with my scrap stuff :)

This is the layout I made at Archiver's the other night.  I added the pics and lettering, this one is for Annika's album.  I had no idea what pics I was going to add when I first made the page, and the only letter we could put on our layout was the "F".  Doesn't go very well with "Easter", but oh well!

Using up most of my Love, Elsie stuff....

The pretty silk flowers (behind the paper ones) on this one were a gift to me from Sarah (birthday present) and this was the perfect LO to use them on! The right page is based on this sketch.

Going to scrap much more tonight when some of the girls come over!
