July 2021 Template Freebie | Sahlin Studio

Happy July! We're at the start of a new month, and you know what that means?! Sahlin Studio has released the new template freebie for July. 

It's available to download for free, through the entire month, so what are you waiting for? Go download it here!


The release of this template was perfectly timed with Madelyn's recent trip to the hospital. She had to know I would document something as significant as a broken bone.


Here are the other of things I want to remember about this incident:
  • How Mad made arrangements after school to work on felting with a friend.
  • At some point, she thought she should get up onto a tree branch.
  • The call I received at 4:10 pm and upon answering knew immediately, something was wrong. 
  • That I was so flustered to get to her, I didn't even ask what it was she'd hurt. 
  • Having the discussion on the way to her, if a trip to the hospital was warranted, which hospital would we go to. [Agreed the Children's would be best] 
  • Being surprised so see Barry piggyback her to the car, and see how ridiculously swollen her ankle was.  [I'd expected it to be an arm or collarbone]
  • Arriving at the children hospital, relieved to see the waiting room not overly full. 
  • Getting in and out including an x-ray and 2 doctors visits within 2 1/2  hours. 
  • The Dr. telling us she thought it was a sprain, the radiologist would look in the morning and contact us should the need arise. 
  • My heart sinking at 8:10 am the next morning as I received a call from the radiologist, telling us we needed to come back in, her ankle was broken. [Barry had already left to take her to school, so they were rerouted mid-route.]
  • Picking her up at the end of the first day, totally exhausted with the realization that crutches,  leg in a boot and 3 flights of stairs to navigate daily were going to be very strenuous. 
  • Giving her the next day off, as she was so sore, everywhere, and definitely her mental health took a hit. It was the day of many tears.

The following Sahlin Studio products were used:
