My Little Shoebox Thankful Blog Hop

What are you thankful for? Is it your family, your job, your home, your things, your relationship with the father? What in life makes you tick? I myself am thankful for so many wonderful things. I am thankful for my relationship with Christ, my family, friends,you all, design teams,the fact that I had a negative breast cancer test result, and all the other many blessings God has given me. So today I hope you'll celebrate with me and the rest of the MLS DT as we hop along for some fun and Thanksgiving.


This is how the hop works. You start at the MLS Blog and continue to hope until you get to the last DT members blog.

You should be joining me from the AMAZINGLY talented Kathleen Glossop's blog.

Here is a simple card I made using the Harmony Collection from MY Little Shoebox

Did I mention one blessed winner will win an entire collection of their choice from My Little Shoebox, whoohoo!!

So hop on over to Erin P, that's one talented chica. Thanks so much for hopping by. If your not already a follower I hope you decided to become one. Have a wonderful weekend ladies!

Thanks for stopping by come and play along with us.

Happy Birthday Jeremiah & CSD Challenge

Happy 10th Birthday to a super special kid. He is fun loving, smart, and all mine :)
I can't believe how fast the years are moving on by. And how fast you are growing up. I'd like for him to STOP it, please!! This is his last year of elementary and I am shivering in my boots. What am I gonna do when girls start calling, or even worse he wants to call them????????????? Oh no!! my stomach just started to hurt. Ok, Ok, deep breathes, calm down self. Ok I'm back!!



Happ Birthday Baby!!



Now onto some Dirty little secrets. Yes, you read it right. That is the name of the challenge this week for Candy Shoppe Designs. And wait until you see what the girls have done, wow!



November is usually the month people GIVE THANKS. It's the month we count our blessing and share what we are thankful for. Although we Lollipop Girls at C.S.D. are thankful for so many different things, we would like to throw a curveball your way and we're hoping you won't dodge.


Instead of sharing what we are thankful for this season, we want to share our secrets with you all. In return, we hope you share yours as well. There's no shame to this game!

Here is my take on the challenge...

And here is the journaling
The name calling, the insults, the constant criticism

started at 4 years old, as far as I can remember.

I can’t say I totally understand the Lords decision

to make you my mother. But regardless you are. And

even through all the pain and agony I still love you.

And hope for a mother daughter relationship free of

name calling, and pain.

This was hard to do. But provided alot of therapy. I have been wanting to scrap about this for a while. This drives me to have a healthy relationship with my children. It's my goal to constantly remind them that I love them, and have their backs no matter what. Because that's what motherhood is right? Love?!?!

MLS Bookmarks & a fun tutorial

So I am back on the ball this week. I have been spring cleaning the house to get ready for the upcoming Holiday. Yes, I know spring is over, but when you've got as much catching up as I do, ten it's spring cleaning. I have the common areas done and under control. But I've gotta tackle the girls room, garage, backyard, front yard, master bedroom, and the scrap room. The scraproom isn't that bad if I could find it in myself to put away the things I decided NOT to use. Instead I just move it to the side and pull out more stuff. Uh- what's a girl to do?

Let's talk scrap...
I made some fun bookmarks for my son and I. Since we are the readers of the family. Mainly because the other two children are still so young. And my hubby likes to buy the books but not take the time to read them.



aren't they fun? And so easy to make, not to mention practical.

If you've been over to scrapbook Daisies online store and forum lately you have seen all the fun tutorials and tips our DT has to offer. We'll it was my turn to share something fun. Click here to check it out. Here is a sneak peek...



If you leave a comment here on my blog, leave a comment on the forum thread telling us what you think of the tut, you will have a chance to win some fun My Little Shoebox Mini Alphabet Stickers.
Chat with you tomorrow or on the thread :)

Scrapbook Daisies **Union Square** Kit Reveal
