I am home sick today. I have had a nasty cold all weekend and it really hit me hard today. I spent most of the day in bed and am feeling a little better though.

I'm trying to catch up on some Derek scrapping. I want to finish the book I never got around to finishing for last Christmas, but I just don't feel inspired. It's not that I'm not feeling creative! I've found lots of other things to work on instead of Derek pages!

Here's my latest round!
