Smile please, errm pretty please

Good morning all. Well my MRI scan went okay yesterday - we got held up in traffic en-route but luckily I arrived at the unit just as they finished with the patient in front of me. The worst bit was trying to get a needle in to inject the dye I have to have for the second half of the scan. I just don't have any visible veins so we had two failed attempts in my arms before they finally managed to get in through the back of my hand! Luckily I'm not squeamish about needles! I had to endure 35 minutes inside the scanner but I've learned to close my eyes and just switch off. Hopefully I'll get good news in about two weeks and that will be me for another year.
Another layout from me today, this time a double page of photos taken the same day as the one of me yesterday.


This is me and my brother, he obviously wasn't in a good mood that day lol. The pictures were taken by a photographer who used to come around the houses once a year or so. I've done the layouts in My Memories Suite using a kit called Victorian Dream from LLL Creations. I then exported the two pages and imported them into Craft Artist to make a double page layout.

Challenges entered:
Willow Sketchie - sketch/ 3 different papers
