{It’s been a while}
Not compared to some bloggers, but for me, it’s been a while since I really blogged. I still think about my grandfather every day and will miss his hugs.
So I haven’t felt like scrapping much lately but I am getting back into it. I have 2 layouts to show you, both being for an SSD challenge. I only got 18 points last month but I am reaching for at least 30 this month!
Here are the last 2 From Our Blog 2 Yours quizzes! First, from the 9/25 challenge, they wanted to see how fast of a typist we all are. I thought I was faster than that, but I guess 51 wpm without any real training (besides forum surfing and chatting LOL) I think it’s pretty good. 
Next, for the 10/2 challenge, Libby wants to know what our favorite fast food joint is. My favorite is McDonald’s, but I can usually find something that I like at any of the fast food places around here. I love to get a Big Mac meal with a chocolate shake! Yummmmm…
I think that’s it for me right now…I’ll see about making a new Cheaters Challenge soon!

My heart aches for your loss of your grandfather - time sweetens and ages the memories but does not remove our longing to ‘go back’ What a beautiful way to remember him.
I’m glad I was able to find and visit you through the blog train!

Love the layouts!!
I know how tough it is when you lose someone you love. It does get easier as time goes on when you think of them you think more of the happiness and less of the pain of losing them but in the meantime let yourself feel it and talk to whoever you trust and feel comfortable talking to. Use your resources like scrapping and blogging to get it out too. Ill keep you in my thoughts.

I am loving that first layout … all those pictures and elements and yet, it’s not cluttered. How do you do that? Anytime I try anything like that, it’s like I sneezed a bunch of stuff on mine.
I just took the typing test myself - I got a 53! I surprised myself.

i took the test and got 67 wpm! wow! of course, there’s no punctuation or numbers in that test, so it’s pretty easy.
