Croppin in the hospital- why not?

Pin It

So my oldest baby landed in the hospital with pneumonia last week. It was pretty scarey and thank God he is fine now. While I was at the hospital I decided to do a little scrapping to lift my spirits. And here is just 2 of the layouts I managed to get done. I think I did a total of 10 layouts- plus finished some calendar pages for a swap- in the 48 hours I was there. What did my kid do you may be asking...well he had the video game cart all to himself and was pretty pleased with that!
