Katrina.....sadness....my thoughts

I'm just at a loss. I want to say how I feel about this horrendous destruction our fellow Americans are facing right at this moment. I wish I could go over there and take in at least one family and help someway in the slow relief effort. All I can do is look from afar and donate as much money as I can. I rallied a few co workers together and was able to donate $200 dollars to the relief efforts yesterday. I know it's not a lot but I hope that it will help in some way.

While at work, I was brought to tears reading all of the incoming news and photographs of the disparity. How does this happen? I just can't fathom their current situation and I just don't know what I would do. My heart hurts for all of them on both sides of it. The people waiting for help and the people trying to get that help there. I'm sure it must seem like an impossible task.

I thank GOD that I have my husband, child, family and all of our regular day amenities. We take those everyday things like showers and clean bed sheets for granted. I, by no means, live in the lap of luxury but I live a good life and I'm thankful for everyday that I am here on God's green earth.

I don't say "I love You" to my family and friends everyday as I should. I don't want to miss those opportunities anymore. So to all of you, I wish you good health, a happy life and lots of love............if you can find it in your hearts to dig deep in to your pockets and donate something, anything to the American Red Cross or Salvation Army or any organization that is helping with the relief efforts. Thank you.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!

It's May already? Where has the time gone? We are almost halfway through Twenty10! I've been playing with paper and glue lately and recently came up with this layout featuring the new Spring Tags from Shabby Shic Crafts! Loving the awesome Springtime colors and cute designs Veronica and Albert have come up with this time around. This silly little picture of me and my daughter was taken from one of those token taking machines that take your picture and the computer "draws" it out on paper. You know the the ones they have at Chuck E. Cheese type of places? Of all the pictures I have, this has got to be one of my favorite ones I have of me and my baby girl when she was about one and a half. A little closer. loving the cluster above the picture.

Hello!

Hi Friends! Can I start by saying that it's been a while since my last blog post? After a long vacation away, this little blog is going to have a comeback. Yay! A new look? Yes. A new topic. Yes and no. Still crafty? Yes. Long gone are my days eating and breathing everything scrapbook related and talking about silly sparkly vampires but my love of creating is still there. That never and will never ever go away. I still love the idea of scrapbooking and creating art. Putting ideas and memories on paper with pictures. Creating keepsakes and using paint, embellishments and stickers to make masterpieces. It will always be a part of me that love. I met alot of really great people throughout those scrapbooking years and still communicate with them daily. But Honestly, truly, I just don't put the time in to it that is required to do it and to do it well. My poor 4 year old might never have the scrapbook his big brother did or a published scrapbook page about him in a mag...

Making Cards.......UPDATE

Pictures Removed: All four cards were picked up by Cards Magazine! Check them out in the April 2007 Issue! :) I love making cards. I hate making envelopes. lol I like making cards 6 x 6 and I can't ever find envies that size so I have to make them or use huge pre made ones. _______________ Can you guys seriously believe that is almost December???? This year has flown by. Wow. I'm already in the Christmas spirit. I put in a Xmas CD and decorated my tree and added a lighted swag with ornaments on my Hutch in the living room and put my wreath on my door. Looking forward to our annual Christmas Light Parade down Main street tommorrow. It's going to be chilly out. Well, chilly for us is anything under 50 degrees. We are all bundled up in hats, scarves and heavy jackets, but still wearing flip flops. HA! That's Californians for ya! I'm outie. cp
