Who wants orange juice?

Basically, your welcome message
right here.

is that while I am working on next months challenges the board is working on this months theme. The theme for January is "Possibility", perfect for the new year! I finished all my DT work for January and was able to squeeze in one of the fabulous challenges at Scrapbooking From The Inside Out


Please create your first PEACE layout about a time when you felt a sense of inner peace.

For the design twist, please use something that opens and closes for a secret look inside...

I also used one of my tags from above for this layout!
Wishing you a little peace friends, thanks for stopping by!

 Make sure you pause the music on my boom box below first! 

Make a Smilebox greeting

"What would you need to know or to believe to have a lasting inner peace? Have you ever felt it? What were the conditions that brought you that feeling? How much do you think you create inner peace as separate from your life circumstances?

I cannot answer this without thinking about God and who He is in my life. I have inner peace and joy all the time regardless of my circumstances. I have peace and joy because I know who I am in Christ and that He is in control. When things settle down I hope to do this challenge on paper, it's good to reflect on God's goodness and I am a blessed person.  If you have read this far I hope that you too find peace and joy daily, I hope that you will seek Him, especially now at Christmastime...After all He IS the reason for the season.

When I saw this cloud paper from College Press I knew I wanted to do something special! These are more lo's using the Decembers "Peace" kit at Scrapbooking From the Inside Out.
Here is the hidden journaling...If you can't read it here is what it says...
Finally…sweet sleep. I cannot remember a time that you’ve slept like a normal child. Most toddlers nap and go to sleep around 7 or 8 pm. You are the only baby I know that could be so sweet and sleep so little. There was a time that we had to medicate you because at two years old you had gone two weeks without sleeping! Since then your earliest bedtime was midnight. Not because we were doing anything, but you just can’t fall asleep. You started the first grade and not sleeping wasn’t working; you were too tired, very sensitive and moody. You could not focus, you were exhausted and you could not retain information. We have finally given into medication to help you sleep. It has made a world of difference. You sleep! You are at the top of your class now, you are a happy little guy, and you are easy going! I love that it has given all of us such peace.

And now you know why I call him "night Owl".

Here is the whole layout...

This is another layout from the kit that talks about the changes in my relationship with my oldest(who still doesn't have a nickname on this blog!) Here is the journal :
***Senior year for my first born has brought on so many thoughts and questions. Did I do a good job? Is she ready for college? Have I given here all the tools she needs for life? I am not ready to let go, and yet I know a part of me knows she will always be my baby. Our relationship is ever evolving, changing by the experiences we both face.






Some details...

I really love using Glimmer Mists and masks and glitter!







It wasn’t long before they were begging to go outside and play. We managed to find all the necessities winter coats, hats, boots, scarves and gloves; I suited them up and they went outside. Not ten minutes go by and it starts…the complaining,”It’s too cold out there!” (Jacket is now unzipped, scarf is probably still outside and gloves are off!) I reply “Where are your gloves and scarf?” he says “I don’t know. My hands hurt.” (His hands are bright red, he is shivering and soaking wet.)I tell him to take off his wet clothes and change into dry ones and he will feel better. He spends the next half an hour complaining and crying about his hands.








By the evening we are both exhausted. I have a horrible head ache. We spent the day with him obsessing, arguing, and me saying no. He is so worn out that all he can do is be held, lie around and wait for bedtime.
