MSAM crop layouts

Hi! I have had a chance to play along with a few of the challenges from the My Scraps and More "Goodbye to Summer" crop that is currently going on. Here is what I have created thus far:

You still have plenty of time to join in on the fun! The challenges are due on Sept.4th for your chance to win some great prizes.

I am going to try my best to get every challenge done, but I think I may fall a bit short. Either way, it's been fun to really dig in and get creative!

Tomorrow we drive to Seattle for Ashlyn's GI appt. She hasn't been feeling well the past few days, as seems to be the cycle. I am hopeful to get some more answers to questions I have now. As we progress with this disease we are beginning to understand it, and along with that come the relevant questions, not just questioning the unknown. The Crohn's has settled in and has become a member of our family, so to speak,  as it is ever so present. It is a disease that requires much pateience, recognition, understanding, respect, and most of all flexibility. It is not going away and it will always be a part of us, so we must adapt to it first and foremost, or else it will control us, not the other way around. We still have a long road, but the day by day journeys are bearable and workable. That is how we live with this and manage it. This is what works for us now, and what propels us to continue to move forward.

Thank you again for all your support and prayers, they are a great blessing and truly appreciated. :)

I'll be back soon with some more layouts- from the crop as well as some challenges. Take care!
