pics…woo hoo

so the last few days i’ve promised some new pics here…i uploaded some new ones to my flickr last night so i thought i’d post some here too. my computer at home is sooooo slow that it takes me forEVER to upload to flickr, ugh. i will try to do a few each day.

here is mr. joe on our camping trip last weekend. when i was getting ready to take this i told him to smile and he said i am…on the inside. ha ha..i swear he looks the same in every single pic i ever take.

i am totally in love with this shot of them getting on the bus. i soooooo see a layout coming from this one.

wow was she excited to go or what?!?! isn’t she just the sweetest little thing in her dress with leggings and her bag. such a sweetieoh joey on the first day of school, he is always so excited to wear his new clothes. he is soooooooo “mr. gq”.

and here is a layout i did last night. i have just felt so much like creating lately. even random stuff at work or in a store just inspires me to create. i wish i could just haul my scrap stuff around with me and scrap on the spot when i’m inspired. and it feels so good to scrap again…and so good to have the desire to scrap again!

out for now

books…books…books

i want to share with everyone some rockin’ books…two i’ve finished and one i’m still reading.

the first one is divorce proof your marriage by gary and barbara rosberg.

the second one needs no introduction..for real..it rocked…..deathly hallows

and the one i’m reading now is boundaries by dr. henry cloud and dr. john townsend. it makes personal boundaries easier to define and is filled with spiritual purpose. so far i like it but will give a full report when i’m done.

randomness

happy hump day ya’all! only two more days till the weekend…woot woot! i am so ready for the weekend, for at least one day of trying to sleep in, to be able to clean my rat hole of a house, to wear pajamas all day and not have to wake kids up at 6:30 am for school. heck yes, bring on the weekend cause mamas tired.
welp, my loving dr called me in a prescription..bless her heart. an antibiotic and prednisone…oh prednisone, there is nothing quite like not being able to sleep, feeling as hungry as a horse and bloating up like a big puffer fish. mmmmm, prednisone.
i promised new layouts yesterday and i never let my people down sooooo here are two. they were both made with the september kit from opaat (one page at a time). some serious yummyness going on in that kit! stamps and gems with basic grey paper, helloooo….doesn’t get much better than that peoples ~

i also wanted to say how much i feel the Lord has been using me as a testimony for him lately. i’m trying to really follow his will, although i’m not perfect and slip and fall sometimes. but it amazes me how much you give your life over to him..how much he totally blesses your life! and he uses you to lead others back to him. i’m amazed by it, i’m thrilled by it and i wouldn’t want it any other way. thanks everyone for your prayers, i seriously appreciate it!
