The Race Has Started!

The AMAZING DIGITAL SCRAPBOOKING RACE started January 4. I've been a bit under the weather and didn't get started for a day or two. My partner, Arlyn, who has 5 darling children, jumped right in and got busy. She has been keeping up our race blog, BINGO BABES . Just click on the name to go take a look at it. While Arlyn has been working away, I slept. When I finally got started ...... you'll just have to go to the BINGO BABES blog for the rest of the story. Here is my layout, titled THANKFULLY. It has a special meaning for me. I used Irene Alexeeva's kit, CHICKA DEE CHICK from Scrap Orchard. The journaling reads:My family home suffered a major fire and many things were lost. Fortunately, this photo and several others were saved. It was interesting to discover the variety of things that survived. Equipment burned all around a New Testament on my father’s workbench. Audiotapes and 33 r.p.m. Bible records stored in a closet were fine, while everything around the closet was destroyed. The best find of all was my grandfather’s Bible, dusty and smoky, but basically unharmed and definitely ready to be read.
