I needed this.......HA!

There are days that I wish I could just go walking down this path. My dream is that it is peaceful and scerene. I can smell the fresh moist fragrance of the earth and all that is alive.

I know, I know MIA again!

I am trying but, just not keeping up. I don't know how anyone raises 4 or more kids. It was easier when they were younger but, now I feel like there are days that I am just holding on for the day. I have been able to scrap a couple of new layouts. I will update soon. Anyway, I love fall and we had a little snow the other day. I am so excited for winter! I can't wait to have a real christmas tree and the house filled with the smell of pine. I will be back soon.

Better Late than never!

Just sitting here with a cup of Joe and thinking that I haven't written on my blog in a while. Things have been plenty busy here between kids, school starting, my brother moving, changing vitamins to Mon Avie. I scrapped a two page layout on Pink's Hot dogs last weekend. So, my goal is to scrap this weekend. I will get better at this blogging thing........

Life is changing as we thought we knew it........

Since last week Rick's daughter is here to stay for a while. Our oldest son is coming back home and I will have 3......not 1 or 2 but, 3 teenagers in the house. I am concerned. These are the times that I doubt myself. God is the only thing that I can rely on to see me through. God give me strength. No new scrap pages but, I was able to get some new Basic Grey paper and embellishments and alphabet stamps. Until next week!

Well I do still exist!

I can't believe how much time has gone by between posts. I promise myself to try and post no less than once a week. Anyway, life seems to be changing yet again. My son is transitioning out of the house and step-daughter in. If you asked me a month ago if this would be happening I would say no. I am truely blown away. We are blessed. With all of the change comes emotion, growth and even new hurdles. I just pray for the strength. I am proud to say my scrapbooking is finally starting to flow. I did 4 layouts last weekend. I will post one here by the next week. I just have to keep it going. I am so happy to be living here in Central Oregon. It is so beautiful here. I know summer is going to be coming to a close and we are going to be getting cooler which I am looking forward to but, summer is so beautiful!

Forever and a day!

I haven't been on in forever............well not quite that long. I have been so busy just trying to keep up with life. Between kids, school, home, church, bible study, dogs and family! I just attended a Special Needs Mega-Conference for the last 3 days and finally went to a scrap booking session with some really nice Lady's here locally. I have to say that even though it has been a really big move I have already made some wonderful new friends! I am blessed. I just need to find the balance..................

As with everything it just takes time.......

I have my header that I wanted. Yeah! I have been working on getting that up for a week! Anyway, I am working on family pictures with my Mom and trying to get them all sorted and scanned. They were my Grandparents and now that they are gone we are just trying to get them sent out to all of the family and preserving ours on discs as well. I will have tons of scrapping material!

I have started this blog to motivate myself to get serious and get scrappin'. I have been buying stuff and not had the time or made the time or I don't know really. But, I am going to do this. I guess that I am afraid of my own high standards. I know what I want my pages to look like but, can I really produce? So here goes nothing!

It's finally here!

I have a blog........now to just figure it out. Wooo-hoo!
