Hi! Hope all is well with you and your families my boys and I are chugging along thank God. Matt is now 20 a coffee master, and now Shift Manager at a very reputable Coffee chain.  I'm so proud of him. He's so intelligent and driven!  Lucas is still 11 he will be 12 in October who is now a 7th grader in Middle School!  I still can't believe he is in Middle School already....he's such a sweetheart with an eye of an eagle!  My boys are the light of my life and throughout my raising them as a single Mom I've sacrificed my wishes for theirs and its brought me so much joy.  Crafting, papercrafting, card making and scrap booking had been a passion I'd indulge in as a form of relaxation and self satisfaction throughout the years.  Now as my household gets smaller I find I have had more passion (not to mention time) to create and share with others my wonderful art.   So in the last few months I have had the desire to design for this wonderful community of crafters tak

Hi everyone!   So just a few days ago I went on a search for boy images I loved then I  happened  to  fall upon Mo’s Digital  Pencil  by Mo Man n ing!   http://www.mosdigitalpencil.com/ . You guys….oh my goodness I was like a kid in a candy store every image I viewed showered me with memories, some happy, some sad and some just so perfect for  life  today .  Yes as I added each of the 144 images  into my wish list it  flooded  my mind  with  projects  for   scrapbooking my old pictures of my son Matthew (now 20) when he was a baby, my own sweet 16 pictures, the vintage pictures my Mom has of my grandma….I literally went on an emotional journey of my life while  sifting through them.   So begins my new love….Mo  Man ning ’ s  images  and  here  is the card I created  using Big Shoes  for my Mom  on  Mother’s Day.   I am so proud of it….well I am proud of all my creations but this one was special.  My mom always tells me that since I started walking loved I loved  jewelry,

  So I have been excitedly waiting for my little baby to finish up his 6th grade in Middle School.   Time really does go by fast huh?   For my boys and I it has always and still remains extremely   important   to cherish the small things in life every single day!   There is a quote I saw somewhere that said cherish the small things in life because some day you will realize that they were the BIG things…well something like that.   Lol….I have been told that I look at life through rose colored glasses…yup I do and I am so happy I do!   Guess what my little guy Lucas is a Mini me…so does he!     I even created a layout about our sharing this trait and it is so beautiful!   So why not let me show it to you.....here it goes.   I have encouraged my boys to take note of the small yet wonderful blessings that come our way every single day….the only difference with me is I choose to document them as well.    Life is beautiful despite the ups and downs!       So remember today

So how have you all been!  I know so much has changed in my life....the last post was posted several years ago just before I got severely ill.  I spent allot of time in the past few years healing physically and emotionally.  I thank God every day that he gives me life yet another day to enjoy the simple things in life.  Matthew my son now 20 is making his momma proud everyday by his accomplishements.  Just yesterday he got his final interview (three in total) with his District Manager and was officially promoted after just 10 months to Shift Supervisor at Starbucks!!!  Now he is not just my baby boy but a young accomplished Coffee Master (he passed many months of extensive training and testing as a Barista)....I love hearing him tell me stories about customers, coworker, Christmas events I hear the joy in his voice with every story and I feel so thankful that he loves what he does.  Lucas is almost 12 and in Middleschool!!! Yikes times flies and he is in a school that he does not r
