Appreciate the small things

Hi Everyone
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Well here in Minnesota it has been icy and cold!! The roads are super bad !! Went to dinner last night and it liberally took us 3 hours to get home!! We thanked God all the way home. I first thought the hubby was exaggerating a bit about the roads!!! He was telling the TRUTH and nothing but!! I have never seen my hubby scared... Last night he was and so was I! Being in that kinda of situation makes you think and reflect! We take so many things for granted?? Well today I going to embrace and appreciate the small thing in life!! I leave you with a sweet layout I did of my dear friend Theresa, really love this lady and all she has brought into my LIFE!!!!

It happened in 1974

I was thinking about what I would do for my SY theme!! I was out shopping and came across a set of stickers that said "It happen in 1974" Cool I thought that would be nice to scrap what was the world like the year I was born!!

US STATISTICS:
President: Nixion then Ford
Bread: 28 cents (WOW)
Stamps 10 cents
Avg Income $14,711
Minimun wage:$2.00 per hour

I think I would  take some of these prices today! So go do a little research and discover the happening when you where born!! I had fun learning and scrapping at the same time!!

Happy Scrapping Girls,
