i loved that paper could
evoke such emotion!

****

Emma ~ you little cutie...you picked

out this paper for me so long ago and i

feel so bad that i haven't used it ~ until

today! Everytime i'm looking through my

paper i see this and it brings a smile to my

face...you always can bring a smile to my

face..it is a constant procession of joy & laughter

with you! What a gift from God. You truly

bring a gift of laughter to our home.

Thank you sweet baby girl! i love this

scripture...

"You never saw Him, yet you

love Him. You don't see Him,

yet you trust Him...with

laughter & singing!"

...a promise

nothing can separate

you from my love.

(can also been seen here :) so excited)

have a blessed day,

i'm off to visit my Nan

for the day :)

all about Him...

some pages for

my flower tag book.

yesterday...

i went to visit my Nan.
she has been diagnosed with an
aortic aneurysm.
the Doctors say she has less than
a year to live.
you immediatley think
"i really should

live each day like it
were my last."
then i thought, no, that would be
so selfish. we would only
do what i wanted to do!
so instead i need to
"love like there's

no tomorrow".
then they'll remember the
love.

yesterday...

i made it through the

entire visit without

a tear, until it was

time to say good-bye.

i even made it though

one good-bye.

then i went back for

one more.

i look her in the eyes and said...

"God bless you, Nan".

as soon as i brought God into

our good-bye, i brought

in true love.

because...

"God is love".

she held me

through my tears.

fresh starts...

 

moving right along...

i love

this picture of

of my "Shay"...

just wanted

to share it!

so easily sidetracked...

i'm supposed to be

packing the van, but

this news:

Maya Road Design Team 2007

has got my

mind thinking...

and not about

packing!

i'm off...

on a little road trip...

my Nan is in the hospital

so we are going to

take her some love!

take care,

God Bless You...

see you Monday!

angel footprints

I am sending an angel

ahead of you, to guard

you along the way.

*******

I was so taken back by the

beautiful clouds on my morning walk

that I had to take some pictures.

I thought the page could be called

"my heavenly"

...when Andrew saw the pictures

he said, "Dada said those are

angel footprints"!

So angel footprints it is!

be bright

Brighten the corner where you are!

Brighten the corner where you are!

Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar,

Brighten the corner where you are.

a layout and a love song

i made this layout for my sister

as a gift to hang up in her

new scrapbook room.

***********

i have been so blessed to receive

the most moving music CD i have

ever heard. it is by Brian Doerksen, and

is titled Today.

there is one song called

I See the Cross

it's amazing...

Come share His Resurrection live forvever

Through His death and life

I see the cross

And it's all I need to see

I see the cross

And it calls me to believe

No other way to be reconciled

To receive complete forgiveness

No other choice could have set us free

Could have paid the price for justice.

**********

May God bless you,

come share His resurrection.

for favorites....

the trendy tin shows up better here

i finally thought of an idea for my

ki memories tin,

it is so much fun and very pink!

i decided it would be exciting to let

each member of our family

pick a "favorite" treat

each month and then

i would bake it as a gift to share.

i sewed "pockets" on each page

of the accordian style album

with page protectors so i could

easily change the recipes.

i'm using a little magnet to

keep the title of the month on the front,

then i'll be able to change

it as needed, easily!

sheer beauty

Psalm 100

The Message

journaling:
so beautiful...you bless us
with a favorite season for
many. Lush green surrounded
by a countless number of reds,
oranges, and yellows. Thank
you for adding changes to
our lives...You protect, bless,
shelter, hold, comfort...with
your unchanging love.
Amazing. I thank you very
much. "Oh Thank you God,

His love never runs out.

Creation & creatures applaud

You." So beautiful. Love.

a little joy

it's always to fun to add more joy!

so i made my girls a

"joy in my heart"

wall hanging!

them with it :)
