I have fun treats to give away............

And the winners are.............still some to give away
If you want another title, tnen mail me the colors of cardstock used in 8.5 x 11 size and I will cut them for you. If you have a Quickutz Silhouette then email me and I will send you the files. I love my Silhouette.

Class with Teresa Collins at Green Tangerine

We did 2 great projects. Both were family oriented. First class was an envelope book and then the other was an exclusive to Green Tangerine and was another great way to document and show off my family. I love playing with the Zutter Bind It All, so was awesome to see the projects that Teresa creates using the Zutter tools



Carol and Patti working on their albums........


Teresa showing us awesome ways to incorporate transparencies into our books.


My CKU buddy Maria joined us for the second class. It was so great to see you Maria. Have fun at Provo, I am so missing not being there already :(


Teresa helping Carol


We all decided to watch what Teresa was doing to Carol's book


Carol stamping her book.


Here we all are. Faye, Maria, Teresa, Patti and Carol. An awesome day with awesome friends. It was great. Can't wait to do it again.


Oh if you have never been to Green Tangerine, you need to visit. It truly is an awesome store with fabulous people.

CE Charm Swap take one

Well, my good idea is going to work but not on black. Glossy accents are great with acrylic but..........with black paper, it shows every flaw,,,,,,ugh

Now to recreate on white

What am I going to do with 90+ acrylic inchies LOL?

Awesome CE Secret Sister

I am so lucky to have an awesome secret sister. I just received this great gift yesterday and LOVE everything in it. Can't wait to meet you SS, you are awesome.

God is in control .......AMEN

There are days, that you wish you didn't get up or at least open your email. Life is not always fair but one thing I am sure of is that God is in charge of my life and He will not forsake me. Day to day life is a struggle but when you put your faith in Him then it does make it a bit easier to deal with whatever comes your way.
Tonight these 2 verses spoke to my heart and affirmed that I was doing the right thing. That being said, it is important to pray for those who are hurting and somehow, someway God's light will shine through. Having a disease like Lupus, stress is not an option so it is with great faith and abandon that I turn it all over to God and trust that He alone can make things right.

Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.—Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.—James 1:19-20

My prayer for all who read this is that it brings comfort and hope in the knowledge that God is ever with each of us and only wants the best for all involved.
