Another one on the road!! Alex passed her drivers test.

I took Ariel to the little carnival yesteray. She has so much fun at these but why do I always spend $40 when I dont even get on the rides! She won a little puppy dog. Now she can has one more animal to carry around. She already has kitty, horse and now dog. That is what she names them too. She is such a little character.

New Ideas for old stuff. I used my two favorite Heidi's products to cover up and old wooden box Kevin found. It was a dark forest green with ugly yellow sunflowers painted on it. But it was such a sturdy well made item I knew I would find a use for it. I painted it using Heidi Swapp's Sea acrylic paint. Then I used the new Heidi Grace papers and chipboard that I had previously posted about to cover the box and walah, a beautiful box to keep on my scrap table!

Holly is taking me to Red Lobster for mothers day. Kevin and I just got done planting some flowers. I was going to post a big picture of my new colorful front yard but we didnt get enough flowers!! So this will have to do.

I love Maya Road tins.

Mega MeetWent to the Mega Meet on Friday. I was so looking forward to going. Saved for it, took a day off work, registered for classes etc.... I am not sure I had fun. Maybe I just expected too much. First off I had 3 basic gray classes. The description of them made it seem like they were all different. Like maybe one was 12x12 layouts and the other ones were some type of project. Well all three classes were 12x12 layouts. Not only that but they were ugly. I expected so much more from Basic Gray. They didnt use their cool new baby papers or embelishments. They were all dark and gloomy looking.

There didnt seem to be a lot of new product. I did find some Technique Tuesday stamps that I had been wanting but they werent new. They had a couple dollar spots which seems cool at first, then you see all the stuff you paid 4.99 and 6.99 for going for a dollar and it makes you think twice about impulse purchases in the future! One good thing I can say about the Mega Meet is that I have a lot of money left.

Guess who I am going to see again.... Here's a picture hint.

So this is what I did with my dollar store jars.

I have found some awesome things at the dollar store lately. In this picture is a 6x6 shadow box and some glass jars with wooden tops and a little wooden plaque right on the front. I have found some awesome scrapbooking items at Dollar tree lately. I cant wait until you see what I did with the jars. I will post the pic tonight. Heidi Grace has a set right now for sale for $14.99. Lets so how cute I can make my $1 ones look :) We will see if we can compare to Heidi Grace :) (I still love you Heidi Grace)

Look at this yummy new Heidi Grace. I adore it! So many patterns and colors. Can't wait to make something with it!

I just want to thank those who email me and help me in helping me in my journey to find Faith in God and Christ. I feel like I have come so far in just the last few months. Every bit of advice people give me helps me move along the path I am trying to go down.

As I understand more and more the things people have said make so much sense to me now. Its exciting when I have a realization of something and I remember someone telling me it would happen. I just get tears in my eyes.

I have such a long way to go before I can be a christian role model to others but I feel like the fog I was in is just drifting farther and farther away. I can see my problems with so much more clarity and less fear.

Funny thing. No one in my real life has helped me see things as clearly as my online friends. I have poured my heart out and gotten response here, on my blog and on my other sites. People have given me so much wisdom and courage. People I have not even met!

I know that if I surround myself with the words and kindness of all my friends and keep away from negative people and places I will continue to get stronger and stronger in my faith and my walk with God.

I've been robbed!! Of the month of April!! Where did it go? April flew past me so fast I accomplished nothing!! I did nothing for the good of the world in April. Easter weekend are the only days I even remember. Let's all pray that May does not pass me by!

I would like to have a moment of silence. For what? For my easter pictures that are ruined. I dont have 5 good pictures to show for easter or my trip to the zoo with my sister and my neices and nephews. I am so disgusted with myself. The little picture bar rolling under my post about that Saturday are the only things I have to show for it. I was going to erase those and use the "good pictures" as soon as I got them developed and online. But I cant do that becuase they all suck big rotten easter eggs. I can't even believe how badly these pictures are so screwed! How on earth did I do that. I just know my sil broke my camera somehow. I let her use it for a couple classes and it has not worked good since. Nothing worked. The flash didnt work, lighting is horrid. Everything is all shadowed up. Thank God this was not a paid shoot. I am dropping that baby off at the shop to be looked at tonight.
