Lasting Memories Challenge:Green/ Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We're an Irish American town with Shamrocks as our Mascot, so St. Patricks' Day is a big deal around here:) And Scott, my adopted son is of Irish Heritage so we always make a special Irish Dinner today to celebrate his heritage.

And in the tradition of the Irish, Lasting Memories' Challenge this week is GREEN. And my layout is of James High School Graduation. A friend of mine is a DJ and she DJ'd  James party as her graduation gift to him. Isn't that awesome? An how James loved his "air guitar" LOL

A Perfect Day-Graduation Layout

The new Scrapbook room is almost finished. I am waiting on a couple of storage units. And tomorrow James leaves for college so we had to take a break from moving into the room. It's really coming together though and I love it! It's so wonderful being able to get up from my chair and walk over to a piece of equipment.  The one disappointment so far is that I am not able to use a laptop, we had to bring in the desktop computer. The Behcets has caused so many problems with my eyes I need a large screen computer monitor. The laptop was frustrating to say the least. However at least we had a solution and I didn't have to give up my blog!

In an effort to help with the heartbreak of James leaving for college (And it is bitter sweet-I am thrilled for him as he enters a new phase of his life, but I also know things will never be the same again.) I decided to work on layout for a picture of the two of us together.
