Contentment

I have a lot to be grateful for such as:

*a loving family (including my EXCELLENT extended family)

*a store & a job

*a roof over my head

*a beautiful little dog that likes to see me when I get home,

*CREATIVE friends that encourage me

*unconditional friends who accept me even when I'm moody

*a nice little Escape that runs awesome now... :)

*enough $$ (most days)

*a country that allows me to make choices & gives me a safe & free place to live

*and last but definantly not least a God that I know has never given up on me & has a wonderful plan. He created me to have gifts I know, and I'm thankful and continue to ask him to show me what all I'm suppose to do with them.


I'm reading another book, my wonderful & thoughtful cousin Sarah bought it for me. She knew that I have wanted this book for awhile now, Calm My Anxious Heart By: Linda Dillow So I'm trying to remember to not worry & be content with my life. We may not always get EXACTLY what we think we want but through it all, I have a lot!

New layouts....

http://dkdesigns.blogspot.com

Well I have a couple of layouts that I am working on for my mom's blogsite. But I haven't gotten them done yet.... of course! They are laying on my floor as we speak & they have been there for almost a week. I guess I'm just hoping that I'll walk in and the scrapbook fairy will have completed them while I was out. mmmm.... I shouldn't hold my breath. Well I hope that you will take a look at what Mom has been up too. She did have the cutest little dog to scrapbook! :)

did you think that I forgot about you all??

Well I haven't been blogging lately because I've been kinda busy. I did a couple of things for K&Co but I didn't take a picture of them with my digital camera so I can't show you them. I also taught my class for the ladies from Texas earlier this week & so I was regrouping from that. They were so AWESOME what sweet sweet ladies they are. Then my uncle's dad passed away, so I went to that funeral. I've been sick--food poisoning-- yuck! Last but not least I accomplished one of my New Year's Resolution-- I read a BOOK! I haven't read in forever and I really hated the fact that I didn't ever take time to read-- but I fixed that problem & now I'm about to start another book. Hope your summer is going well for you & hope that I will get to see you soon!

new layout...

This isn't a good scan at all but you get the idea... I drew the butterflies and then paperpieced them together. I love the little poem ... I thought it was very cute. I hope you like and if you want to see it better go to http://dkdesigns.blogspot.com and you can read the poem too.

Thanks for looking!

Girls... are you ready for class???

** The picture isn't great but you get the idea...

Here is the add'l add on project that will be avail. for $7.50. It is using some of your leftover paper and embellishments. I have packaged up the extra things your will need with your frame & I will provide the Mod Podge & brushes. I think you'll have fun making this too!

working my fingers to the bone.... not really <>{:o)

I added these 3 layouts to Mom's blog today http://dkdesigns.blogspot.com ... I am going to Kansas City on Sunday & coming back to Oklahoma on Tuesday. I have to go package with mom and she's going to help me package my class for my Texas gals here in a couple of weeks. I used some of the new K&Co Happy Trails paper. I have (2) more layouts that I finished last night that I'm hoping will get scanned & packaged soon. Well gotta run & get some layouts for the Scrappy Gourmet done. Hope that you all will have a great weekend to come!
