Creative Scrappers Sketch #126

After spending all weekend scrapping with my good friends, I've been in the scrappy mood all week. I completed this layout for the Creative Scrapper blog. I'm always up for a challenge. The pictures are from 2007 when we had a family reunion. My two sisters and I are pictured as well as all our kiddos! It was a great vacation.

Sassy Lil' Sketch for 10/7

I really had fun with this sketch!

Pencil Lines the Sketch Book

I submitted my layout for the most recent Pencil Lines sketch celebrating their 4th Birthday! Happy Birthday Pencil Lines! I used papers from the kit club I belong to called PersonalScrapper. Love, love, love their monthly kits.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #124

I backtracked and found Creative Scrappers Sketch #124. I used a picture from this past September of Austin and Pippin. They look so sweet together. I couldn't resist!

Here is my take on the Sketch #125 from Creative Scrappers.

Creative Scrapper #125

So, here is the latest sketch from Creative Scrapper. They are having a contest, and all entries have to be submitted by 10/16. Every so often they show a "Readers Reveal". I must say I am intimidated by the stunning layouts and unique creativity! I am going to give it a go, however. I did start on it this evening, only to have the blade on my Cricut stop functioning. What luck! Off to buy a new blade tomorrow ... need to get this done!

One Month To Live

I have just started this study with several ... more like 20 ... friends from church. Our first meeting was this past Friday. The area in which I live experienced a micro burst Friday afternoon that robbed us of our electricity, shattered windows, sliced trees in half, tore rain gutters, and ripped siding off our house. We were forced to gather in a candlelit room and watch the DVD that accompanies this study on one of our friend's laptops. It certainly was an interesting way to kick start our study. But, it left us thankful for the food we shared, and the precious time we spent talking about how our priorities would change if we really did have one month to live. I am making myself accountable for finding ways to cut the clutter and prioritize what it truly precious in my life. What an amazing opportunity to have the chance to make these changes while I have many more ... God willing ... days ahead of me.
