My latest page...

is actually my favorite page, and not just for the scrapping, the picture is so awesome!
This is my Katie girl, and another of her "self portraits" she is so famous for taking! I edited the picture to make it black and white with the hydrangea in purple. For this page, I was trying to make the picture of course the focal point.. it was printed in 8.5 x11 size. The layout is 12x12. I used Doublemates black cardstock, prima flowers, brads, and doodled. The paint is MM. The title " I can only Imagine" was taken from the song by Mercy Me. Katie is a member of His Hands and Feet Ministry at our church. They learn modern sign language and movement to contemporary Christian songs, and this song was the first they did, and above all our favorite. Thinking of the words... "I can only imagine... what it will be like, when I walk by Your side....I can only imagine what my eyes will see when Your face is before me....I can only imagine." Looking at this picture, I can see her thinking these things, and seeing how engrossed she is with praising God, it makes me the happiest mom in the world!

COOKIES!!!

As I sit here eating cookies, I wonder....

What is your favorite type of cookie??? I have a new fave.... mint oreos! YUM YUM YUM!

These are the days....

of my life! The days seem to run together here anymore. I get up, get the kids off to school, go through my daily routine of cleaning, laundry, catching up on my internet groups, chatting on the phone..... then they come home and the night begins. Baseball or softball depending on the day of the week.

My life is boring... so monotonous.. the same. No wonder I get in a funk here and there. I feel it coming on now, and hence the reason for me writing about it... sometimes I can stop it if I acknowledge it. This week the schedule changes. Both of my parents are having surgery this week. I pray that everything goes according to plan and they all come out well. Dad is first. His is tomorrow at 8am. I can't be there and that is very depressing to me. I don't like to let my parents go through stuff like this without being there. But I have to be here to get the kids off to school. Mom's is Thursday. I am going to ask the kid's dad to take the afternoon off work so I can go with her. Her's is late afternoon. She has never had surgery before, and I know she is a bit nervous.

Friday... if all goes well with mom and dad, I get to go to an all day crop!!! YAY! I took the weekend off from work, and get to go to the Saturday crop as well!! I so need this time off from work, and just time to be away and be me and do what I love so very much!

So, with winter and cold weather coming, so will the "funk" as I call it. That seasonal type depression. I HATE it.... but I refuse to be on medication. I can whip this, and having this blog here to help me journal my thoughts, well, that will help a lot!!! SO... funk funk go away, don't come back ANY day!!!
