Remember Those Best Days

I guess remembering the best days helps us get through the tough ones.  It helps us plow through the busy times.  I had a true best day ever during our trip to Sedona this past spring.  It was quite amazing.  I scrapped and, more importantly, journaled about how awesome it was using the October Inside Out kit.

 

I love the wood grain and how natural it feels.  It added a nice touch to my page. 

 

 

I made my own title by hand cutting the words from one of the papers.  I like to hand cut whenever I can so that my page seems more unique. 

 

We are in the midst of soccer season and it has been crazy.  I need to hold onto these best days as a source of reflection and relaxation.

 

 

Monday's Musings: He is my Home

Feeling so blessed.

I am a lucky girl with a great guy.  I so appreciate the relationship Steve and I have built.  He is my home.

I went away for college.  Not too far, but far enough.  I ended up getting a teaching job in a town near my college.  I never went back home.  A few years later, I met Steve right in the town where I teach. 

His home has become my home.  Truthfully, I would go anywhere with him.

 

I made this page using the very lovely Nest collection from Webster's Pages.  Seriously, Brandin just gets it.  She made a gorgeous collection!

 

I did lots of layering with stickers and with hand cut elements.  My number reason for loving Webster's.

 

I sit here today feeling so grateful to have met and married Steve.  So happy to be loving him every day!

 

 

 

In Need of Energy

Why have I been so absent?  These little critters.  They have friends and birthday parties and sports.  They have choir and religion and so many needs.  Honestly, I am loving being a soccer mom and witnessing all their fun.  We are in the sweet spot!

 

 

I made this for the SFTIO kit called Energy.  They both zap and build my energy.

 

I love all the lines on this paper and used it to scatter around my elements!  I am off now to make dinner for the fam.  Boring mom stuff that fills me up!

 

 

One Month Later

I am here posting.  Not that I am sure that anyone reads blogs anymore, but I still want to post my work and share stories!  Life is crazy busy as the kiddos are involved in sports.  I feel altogether happy and drained with a wonderful life.

I made this page using the Scrapbooking From the Inside Out kit, Energy.  What is that?  haha!

I truly believe in guardian angels....a spirit who helps to sustain us and protect!  I wrote about the concept on this page. 

 

I am celebrating my 44th birthday today and I have many reasons to be happy!  Great family and friends fill me up and make me so grateful!  I am blessed!

 

I will be sharing more about this page on Monday over on the SFTIO blog!  Bes sure to check it out!
