2022 Special Mom project – installment 7: Scrapbook pages for Christmas to end of the year.

We have reached the final installment of this series! Let’s get started!!!

On Christmas morning, we took my mom to Kimmie’s house to be with her family for breakfast and to exchange gifts. This 3-page layout was made on Imaginisce Christmas Cottage Winter Wood collection.

Then we made our way to Wesley’s home for lunch and to exchange gifts with his family. Since he lives a farther distance away from us, she was starting to get tired before we got there. After she ate her lunch, she was ready to go home so she could take a nap. I wish we could have spent more time there. Maybe this year will be different. This layout was made on Imaginisce Cottage Christmas Peppermint Stick collection.

One final lunch out for the year. This time, lunch with mom also included Kimmie. The Eaton clan had given my mom a gift card for Cracker Barrel so that is where we went. We had a short wait, but definitely not like the hour long wait we had on Thanksgiving. This layout was made on Craft Smith Palm Spring collection.

For the last page of the album, I made a special layout for her. The paper used for this layout is from the Craft Smith Write Your Heart Out collection.

Now it time to start another project. I wonder what it will be!!! I hope you will return to see what’s next.

2022 Special Mom project – installment 6: Scrapbook pages for Thanksgiving to December 23rd

For Thanksgiving, we took my mom to Cracker Barrel to enjoy lunch away from her assisted living facility. She definitely enjoyed her lunch. This layout was made on Craft Smith Write Your Heart Out. Alpha stickers and leaf stickers were from my stash are are very old.

Once Thanksgiving was over, it was time to start decorating mom’s apartment for Christmas. The layouts for decorating her door were made on plain white cardstock. The printed paper and stickers are from Reminisce Gingerbread Lane collection. I think it was purchased at a scrapbook convention. But then again, it may be something I received when moving mom.

On December 2nd I finished decorating moms apartment. She was happy with the results! The page for this was made on plain white paper as before using paper and stickers from Reminisce Gingerbread Lane collection, as before.

Then, Jim, Dawson, and I took mom to Mexican Inn for lunch then to Target to do some Christmas shopping. She was definitely tired when we took her home. Layout was made using Craft Smith Palm Springs collection.

Of course, I we both needed to have our nails done so we once again made our way to European Nail Spa. I took this opportunity to take a picture of my mom with Lily, who actually does my nails, not hers!!!! Layout for this was made on Craft Smith Palm Springs collection. I’m enjoying this collection a lot and wish I had purchased more than one paper pack of it.

Another lunch out with mom! This time she decided she wanted to go to Dixie House Cafe. Who are we to refuse this??? What she did not know what that her first born great-granddaughter would be joining us. She was so excited to see her. This layout was also made using Craft Smith Palm Spring collection.

I am ending this blog with the layout of her last appointment of the year with her primary care doctor. He is located close and she does not mind going to see him. His staff is awesome. Layout made on Craft Smith Santa Fe Garden.

The next blog will have the final layouts for the year 2021. And it will be the last installment of this series. At least until next year. I hope you will return to see the simple and very basic scrapbook pages I made for her.
