After a while without doing anything, I got the bug today. I have mucho things to do, but no gauze so I have some extra time.
FIRST ONE!
This is my grandma, or, as I call her, NONNA Rina. This photo was taken in 1978 I believe, she was 75 years old. She lived to be 101!
Used a quickpage for this one, no time to do it in a more creative way today.

Greg and I in Italy this past summer. My mommy actually took this photo, I love it! Yet another quickpage. So many ideas... so little time, what can I say?

Having one of those months... some days are so bad I feel like driving myself into a lake! AARGHHH. This is the first day this whole month that I do not have a sore throat and I have nausea if I spend too much time on the computer, but I am so behind on my stuff, how can I? Nicky has been home most of the month, no break from the little yellow bus for me. Thankfully hubby is there for me... he's the BEST.
This picture was taken in the summer of 1970-my sister and I with my grandparents (my mom's parents). Hard to believe they were both younger than my parents are now in this picture and both died just a few years later. I miss them, especially my grandma.
I followed a Winni scrapbooking tutorial for this one, BIGGER VERSION here:

I don't feel quite as creative today... so, this page I made out of a ready-made quickpage. The pictures were really small that's why I opted for them to be smallish on the page as well. One of the pics it's actually a bit blurred even, but still, these two pics were taken the same day on December 11th 1972. Gosh... so long ago... and... what the heck was I wearing? MOM??? LOL. Oh yeah... it was the seventies, I forgot! LOL!!!

It's been a strange day. I worked this AM and then my ex came to get Nicky and it's so strange not having to worry about Nicky for a couple of days. This is a new thing. Nicky's dad only moved to this area late last year and until a couple of months ago he would come and visit and stay with us. Tomorrow should be a fun filled day... we're all going to a Walkathon for Fybromyalgia Awareness and will try to raise EB Awareness at a booth. One of the other EB moms is in charge of the whole thing and a few other moms I know will be there as well, should be pretty fun. I just hope that my voice comes back full force and that my coughs goes away!
I am listening to Clay's new album... LOVE IT! Yey!
This is my scrap lesson 30 of the Winni Scrapbooking lessons. This is probably one of my favorite vacations of my life. My mom's cousin Silvana unfortunately died of Cancer in 1974 and they were super-close, she was even my younger sister's Godmother. The following summer her husband and the children (my second cousins) who were alone and quite upset (as one can imagine) decided to vacation together with us in the Veneto region (in Italy, of course). At the time my grandparents owned two homes in a little village called Lusiana where they were born, married, and where my dad and his two sisters were born, so there was enough room and a spot for us to stay and visit the beautiful nearby spots such as Lake Garda, Venice etcetera.
I will never forget that summer. I loved both Pinuccia, who is a couple of years younger than me and her brother Gianni, a couple of years older than me. We basically grew up together. I am still close to them til this day and always make sure I visit them when I go to Italy.
