Journaling reads:
I find that the older I become, the more serious and down to business I get.
It's really no surprise because that is what happens to a lot of people, doesn't it?
I pray that the older I get, the more happy I can become. To stop and laugh...
To enjoy life, and to glorify God in all I do.

Proverbs 31:30
“Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.”

Scripture Challenge - Week One ~ FAITH!

On Faith Sisters.com the challenge was made for the new 2008 Scripture Challenge. The first word is FAITH. We were to make a card or layout using that word. Since it just started, I decided to alter a box to house my cards! Here is what I did this week. I made 3 sets, you can see them all here. The paper products that I used are all from TLC's Runway line.


You can download these two word art sets that I created for free at the Faith Sisters shop.

Here we go again...

So, my husband joined this place online called Gyminee. It's supposed to be a FUN way to track your fitness progress, HAHAHA! And guess what? They ask you to invite friends, so who does he invite? ME!

Did anyone see the Biggest Looser Couples last night? I was bawling my head off! I HATE it when shows are so emotional, lol! I get a migraine when I cry and it's NOT fun, lol!

SO, if you want to join Gyminee, be my guest...

Hello all you digial scrapbookers out there! I have designed some frosty papers and frosty alphabets for your digital scrapbooking pleasure! You can get them at FaithSisters.com!

One of those days ya just wanna!!!!!!

I haven't posted here in a while, I have been so busy with designs for TLC and Faith Sisters that I have neglected my blog.

Sometimes ya just need to post something that isn't all shiney and happy. I am so MAD right now because I waited too long to send in my pages to have them printed into books in time for Christmas before we leave on the 20th. So mad in fact that I started crying and screaming. HEY a girl has got to get it out once in a while, doesn't she? Well, it only lasted for 3 minutes.

Now to figure out WHAT I am going to do. The family expects these books every year. In fact, this is the only thing my mother asks for. Grrrr! I am pretty steamed at myself for waiting too long. Yeah Shanna, I know you are reading this and are not surprised, just SHHH!

Sigh, a person has a right to be sad once in a while, don't they?

Here is a family picture I TRIED to take the other day with my old camera because my newer one is on the blink. It's very dark and blurry, but I thought I better leave you with something semi happy to look at. :|

3 c. cooked rice
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
3/4 c. shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 c. cracker crumbs or fine dry bread crumbs

Mackenzie - My iMac

Yes, it's true! I have named my iMac, Mackenzie. Yes, I am getting more and more attached to her everyday, let's just hope that she doesn't let me down. I am still learning all of her tricks and hope to soon be proficient at her iMovies, Garage Band, and all the new graphics software I have installed on her! Here is a recent picture of her, only at just under two weeks old, hehehe!
