Not Leaving on Jet Plane

Okay, so I was supposed to be getting ready to leave Sunday for a trip to Vegas, but mmmm, that didn't work out! Oh well! So, since I can't go, I thought I would share some new creations with you:



This is using Alexandria Sandlin's Can You see Me Now available at Queen Kat Designs. I love this humor behind this stamp!!!

Out of Control

Sometimes I feel like everything is spiraling out of control and I can't find a way to get it together. Yet, today my feeling of being overwhelmed was calmed.

Just wondering what could calm my storm, my life -- a blog post. Reading a blog post by Katie Walker. As I read her blog, I realized that while her post was for her, it was also something that God was directing toward me.

In her post, she said:
so for today:
- "bad" days may be God's way of saying, "hey, I'M in control here."
- find joy in trials.
- with grace, life IS good.

Drooling!

I went to the store at Queen Kat Designs just to snag a link for a post that I was working on and I was floored because somehow Vicki has slipped in some stamps that I haven't seen and now I am sitting here drooling over them!

Check this out!

Okay, now to figure out which ones to buy!!!

Camp???

Day 4 of my children being gone to camp! This is their first experience (mine also!) and I was a little apprehensive about how they would feel about being away from home for five days and four nights ---mmm, well, the quick words from my female child -- I'm having fun; this is great. Oops, got to go, bye. (this is basically what she told me on both day 1 and 2). And it isn't until day 3 when the male child talks to me, only because he broke his glasses and needed his other pair! No, Mom, I love you and miss you.

I am so happy and sad at the same time; my babies are growing up and who knew that I would be the one who is "home-sick" because it isn't really the same without all the noise and hugs and laughter from my two!
