Ok..we are just HOURS away from 2009. What happened to 2008?? I cannot say…I must have slept through it all. OK..so no I didn’t sleep the entire year. Geezz..sounds good though right now. How in the world did I let 365 days go by so fast?!?! I noticed I’ve not done a great job keeping my ‘craft’ blog going either. Well, I was a busy woman. Didn’t spend much time crafting things in 2008. I can only hope for next year!?!?
I did end the year with a bang…I was actually scrapbooking a page for my son’s band photos and suddenly, as I glued it down, I had a vision…of what I was to do with all that memorabilia from my hubby’s tour in Iraq…in 05-06…yes..a WHILE back. The idea fell on me like a ton of bricks…so I threw everything else aside and dug out the box of “Iraq stuff to scrap”. Then, I reached for the wooden box…it had been sitting on a shelf waiting for me to give it a purpose besides collecting dust. What you see below…is the results of mod podge, photos, military patches (actually worn in Iraq), dog tags and plexi glass…all neatly packaged in a memory box…now I will continue to tweak it..but, it’s basically DONE!!! Thanks mom for taking photos too!! I never get photos of ME actually doing the work.
