Alright, Challenge 2 was …well, challenging. But Julie and I actually pulled together what I think is a great LO. We had to work together on this one layout so it was new to both of us.

The journaling says:
On December 11, 2008 our area
experienced a terrible ice storm. Over
a 12 hour period we were hammered
with enough ice to stop the whole
community in it’s tracks. Trees had
split and fallen all over the county.
Many of them had taken out power
lines. These photos are just a few
of the trees from our own
yard that had fallen. One
large branch broke right
through the fence where our landlord
usually parked his
truck.
The beautiful
white birch practically split
down the middle. This storm caused
thousands of homes to lose
power for everywhere from a few
hours to up to 9 days. Stores were
packed with people just trying to get
out of their homes and into a warm
place. Schools used 3 snow days
plus the weekend and the kids were going
stir crazy by
the time life
returned to some
idea of
normal
