Getting serious here...

As Sandy approaches things are starting to get a little intense here. The storm is expected to make landfall in New Jersey, right in our neck of the woods. The area with the forecasted highest storm surge is less than a mile from the house. People living less than an 1/4 of a mile away have mandatory evacuation. I'm hoping we made the right decision to stay. We prepped all day yesterday and today. School is closed for the next 2 days. Work is cancelled. Hopefully the electricity and internet signal will stay strong!

Today I've got another page made with a Simple Scrapper November sketch - this one was for an 8 1/2 x 11 page:

I used mostly Jillibean Soup for this page because the bright colors of the Soup Staples were perfect with the vibrant colors in the photos. That washi tape with the numbers is Cavallini and the woodgrain cardstock is from Studio Calico:

Thanks for stopping by today - if you are in the area affected by the storm be safe! Be back soon...
