Template #25

Ok, so I know I said it wouldn't be so long before I posted a new template, but unfortunately we had a bit of a scare lately with the fires. Last Friday, the winds shifted towards us, and two of the fires burning in our area were heading our way! We had to pack everything up and be prepared to leave. Luckily, our area received a huge amount of air support, lots of planes and helicopters dropping water and retardant, and the winds finally shifted away from us, so we never had to evacuate. Whew! That was close! So needless to say, I haven't been in a real creative mood lately. However, I did manage to sit down the other day and get a bit creative, so I do have a new template for you!

Here it is:

Template #25

And here's my layout using the template.

It's yet another one of me as a child. This is my older sister and I at the beach.

You can download this template here.

Here are some photos from our local paper that show some of the fire activity in our area. The fire crews have been doing an amazing job around here! I think in our immediate area there has not been any houses lost. We are very fortunate because I know in other parts of the state, there has been many houses lost and even a few lives...

It looks like they have a pretty good control on the fires near us, so I don't think we are in any immediate danger anymore.

So, on that positive note...

I hope to be back here soon with another template for you all!

Until then...enjoy this one!
