The grocery store, tobacco shop, drug store, snack bar, Chinese restaurant, a dentist and a gym were all burned down. The gym is at least there but from the looks of it, they will end up tearing it down. The snack bar and grocery store are nothing but broken glass, melted steel and rubble. The rest of them are just completely gone. Nothing but piles of rubble and smoldering ashes. It broke my heart to see it. Now to find another grocery store until they rebuild. Arrrgggg
They also came to paint the house again today since the weather cleared up finally. Every time they come to paint, I have to either leave the house or go upstairs and not come down for most of the day. I am allergic to paint so it's not a good thing to stick around! While we have 3 computers upstairs, none of them have my work materials so I got nothing done all day! *groan*
Tomorrow I see the dr again. I doubt she will have any answers but I am going back just the same. That is if someone doesn't torch that center as well!
Can you tell I'm upset about the fire? It really bothers me that people do things like that. Sometimes I really hate this world we live in these days. I just don't get it. I moved to Holland 8 years ago to get away from all the crime and crap back home in Wisconsin and now it is starting here as well. Nothing ever stays good, does it?
Ok, enough of the bummer today. I have one last page for you today. Tomorrow will be all of the backs that match the pages so you can make more pages if you want. If I get lucky, and the painters don't come back yet again, maybe I will actually get the kit done that I made this album from! Keep your fingers crossed! :o)
(Jody, I doubt this will be a good page for the kids' albums! I may try and come up with another album, more child appropriate!)
Here is today's page:

I love these pages! I didn't find them too scarey - well I didn't look too close either. But the youngest kids I scrap for are my niece and nephew and my cousin's dau too. But none are scared easily! Thank goodness! I never really thought about it until I read a prev post where you had meantioned "kid-friendly"
There's so much I still need to learn as a "non-mom". Oh, and thank goodness my cousin's dau is not easily scared! OMG! I so have to post pics of how he decorates for Halloween each year! Better than any store. Not scarey either, but tons of details!
Thanks again for the wonderful pages! Wish it wouldn't end!
Hugs, Tif
I want to thank you for the wonderful pages. Many hugs to you. So sorry for your loss with the stores. I live in WI and we have had many fires over the summer started by people. They think mostly gang related. I hope you get better news from your Dr. Hugs.
I know it is hard not to make Halloween LOs scarey, but yes, some parents just don't care for the scarey stuff. Perhaps there is enough for kids to be scared about these days without having to worry about witches and goblins too. Back in my day (a long long time ago) all we had to worry about was the scarey things of Halloween so it was fun then.
It is a crazy world we live in as evidenced by the devastating fire in your home town. Kids don't have the freedom to roam around and play outside freely anymore. Parents have to be on constant watch it seems.
So I am thinking this is why my daughter would rather see happy halloween layouts - heck there is nothing wrong with a smiling pumpkin! LOL
Thanks for the amazing gift today!
I was saddened to read about the fires -- I don't know what possesses people to these acts of violence and vandalism. Thank God no one was hurt!
I just love love the halloween pages thank you for the great art and keep up the good work

Thank you so much for generosity in sharing your awesome stuff with us, didn't realize that I was just syphoning off the goodies, without even pausing for a quick thank you, so sorry about that! I was unzipping some of the goodies today, and only when day 5 wouldn't open, I thought, heck, I am so upset, but when I took your generous offerings the previous days without a hint of gratitude... well anyway, I am sorry I took all the goodies without thinking! I love them, your designs are cute and proper, and wonderful for any scrapper with kids, we don't have much of Halloween in Switzerland, but at least here in the Alps children are still allowed to be kids and climb trees and roam, and cycle around, so come and have holidays here! Hugs, and thank you again, and sorry it took me so long to say thank you, your designs are awesome! Olga
Thank you :-)
Sorry to hear of the fires in your area - arson is such a senseless act!
Thank you for another page to your Halloween album.
So sorry to hear about the fire. I do hope your dr visit brings you more information and some help!! Thanks for the pages, I love them!
