    and created three challenge layouts today so I have achieved 7 for this month.
    I think I needed some scrapping therapy today as it is my birthday but the day has had some mixed emotions. My daughter and her precious family are right at this minute travelling in a big plane.. heading to Vancouver and then another plane to Calgary, Canada to spend three months there. My son-in-law is from Calgary.
    Hopefully we will be able to link up with skype while they are away or I am going to miss those grandchildren tooooo much!

    Happy birthday Anne-Marie! Scrap therapy sounds like just the thing to keep you busy in your family's absence ... like Karen mentioned, I hope the months fly by for you. Enjoy your day and congrats on finishing so many pages! :)

    Happy birthday ! Congrats on finishing 7 challenges!!
    I hope the time passes quickly. I know my family depended on Skype and Google Hangouts when I was in Boston arraarea, and my family Utah.

    Congrats on the challenges! I've done 6 this month -- which is the most since January that I have completed! Maybe I'll get one more done this week.
    I Skype with my daughter about once a week. Skype (or Face-Time) is one of the best things ever!

    Happy birthday!!!! Scrap therapy is always good. I can't imagine missing the grandkids, but I'm sure the time will just fly by and you'll be able to be in touch. And when they come back, it will be a big celebration. :)

    Happy Birthday! Scrap therapy is really the best way to handle this time! How about learning a new technique? Come up with a technique challenge and we'll all join you in it!

    Happy Birthday. I've recently had 3 months away from family, and scrapping skype grabs helped me through them :)

    Mixed emotions indeed. I hope the time 'flies by' and your family are back with you safe and sound ... the reunion will be fun!

    Happy birthday btw and congrats on getting 7 challenges done (three layouts in a day is very impressive).

    Happy Birthday Anne Marie! Canada is such a long way away, I feel like it would take 3 months to adjust to the time zone... They will be back before you know it, skype makes it way easier. xxx

    Happy Birthday! Skype is AWESOME for when you miss your grandbabies. I Skype with mine almost every day. We always do hugs and smooches at the end and today Riley (age 4) said, "I wish I could get on a plane and come see you and give you a real hug, not a Skype hug." It just melted my heart! Hang in there and scrap them while they are gone. That helps, too. I am trying like crazy to get back on the same side of the country where my grandbabies are - I miss them so much.
