~Life is full of POSSIBILITY! Happy New Year's Eve~

Wow what a journey 2009 has been and one of
those pivotal moments for me has been finding
the Scrapbooking From The Inside Out Forum/kit club

This is the FIRST kit club I have ever found that thinks just like I do.

All the kits are based on a specific emotion.
This month's kit emotion is "POSSIBILITY"
Everyone is VERY nice and they believe it is ok to scrap ANYTHING
just like I do. I love the compassionate attitude that sort of thinking
holds, and is dear to my heart. That scrapping is about what you want to
create/do, and not about rules and regulations! :)

Today I am going to share 2 of the layouts I made with the kit
I made 5, I will post the rest tomorrow

Journaling:
It's hard to explain to someone who has never been abused
just how precious the gift of security can be.
Knowing that I will never ever be hit again by someone who says the love me.
But you my dear, have given me back the feeling that anything is possible.
If I found someone who loves me unconditionally ]
and sees me with eyes I do not understand, then YES!! Anything is possible.
I Love You.

Time To See Journaling
It IS Possible:
To have friends who do not use and abuse you and to expect that.
To be kind to yourself and still be a good person
To stay faithful and surround yourself w/ others who are as well
To stand strong and be gentle at the same time
To respect yourself even after being abused and battered for a lifetime
I am beginning to see that I am repeating the same pattern
of abuse in my friends that I used to have with men in my life.
I have decided if I can break the cycle with men, I can break the cycle
with my friends as well, so for 2010 my goal is to find good
sweet honest friends who care for life and respect others like I do.
Isn't this kit beautiful?
If you have not checked out SFTIO please do.
I stop in there to chat at least once a day.
The girls there are KIND, compassionate and very understanding.
Kindred spirits.

OK I am off to take my sweet boys shopping and
get ready for this amazing New Year full of POSSIBILITY!
~Have a great New Year's Eve~
~Thank you for stopping by~

~Merry Christmas Eve to everyone, lights are shining bright!~

Merry Christmas Eve my friends,

I thought I would share not only a Christmas Project with you
but also this is our first owned home in Tennessee.That was a huge step for us this year and we love our cozy little country home.
It is such a nice feeling to go home knowing it's yours.
We worked so hard for it and it's nice to know we did something
good with all that time and hard work and saving we did, it did not all go to waste.
This year has been such a blessing.
Though we just moved in, I had
my boys and hubby outside hanging lights!

They are so good to me! I am so blessed to have
a husband and family who love and respect me.

OK on to Crafty goodness!
I made this project yesterday,
I have had it in the works for 2 weeks but never finished it!
This is handmade Garland, that is a card hanger for your wall at Christmas,
you could use it on the tree with cards OR on the wall with cards!
I love how versatile Imaginisce Polar Expressions line is!
~Merry Christmas to you~
~I would love to see if you make some garland!~
~Have a beautiful day~
