It's been too long!

It's been over 2 years since I last made a post to my old blog, "Mikki's Memos", since then Blogger has updated their website. Therefore I had to start a whole new blog for myself. Oh well it's not like many people visit my blog anyway. lol 

So the main reason for posting on my blog was to submit this layout that I created from some online classes I'm take at over at May Flaum's website, it's called "Creative Retreat. She has some very special guest designers teaching classes using different mediums and techniques. Riikka Kovasin taught a class using calligraphy with misting called Misting the Mark. Here's my take on her the lesson she taught. 

This by far was the hardest layout for me to make because it's totally out of my comfort zone and style of scrapbooking but it was super fun to make. I learned a lot from the class instructor and feel that I can incorporate some of her ideas in to my style of scrapbooking.

This page is about my son, Beren who has decided to join the Army. When he enlisted he was given a package that had this Infantry sticker on it. He's very proud to display it on the back of his Jeep. He's going to make a fine soldier real soon. Just a few more days and he will be heading to Basic Training. I'm trying real hard to control my emotions but I fear I will start balling my eyes out come Tuesday!
