May GOD bless you all and shower you with blessings today and always!! Have a great day! -christine

Hello all! How are you all doing? I personally have been adjusting to life’s changes as best as I could thus I have not been able to post on my blog. My hope is that life is going well for you all and that you are creating wonderful memories in your lives. Time is flying by and my boys are growing and changing in many more ways than one. I have been scrapbooking allot more and have been enjoying having my own Meetup in which I mostly teach techniques and card making although recently we were able to have a fun scrapbooking day as well. I have met some wonderful women and am blessed get to know each of them and to have the opportunity to create with them as well. More importantly I feel so blessed to be able to share a hobby that can bring someone relaxation and countless years of joy. I wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day, remember this day is for us all to celebrate whether we do this through gifts that show our affection and/or time spent doing special things with ...

Hello! Life may be crazy and a bit disappointing but one thing I know for sure is where my help comes from. He said in he would never leave me nor forsake me…and that I was more than a conqueror in him. So I have been challenged for the past 2 months and though the trials may seem tedious and overwhelming GOD always reveals his hand upon me. My car has been doings really bad, and I have tried to repair here and repair there but always seems to be something or another with it...such a hardship..but my faith will not waiver I know things will get better soon. My boys are struggling with respect and rules but are amazing with everyone else so again I see my work in progress. Although my boys are my life but GOD has been showing me that I need to sit back and take things in stride a little bit more…Let go and let GOD! Thanksgiving this year was a time for me to get back to the basics, Lucas and I had our traditional turkey lunch, Matt went with his Dad then we went to Grandmas ...

Hello All: So October came and has gone and I have not had time to tell you all what is going on in our lives. As October began I join Stampin Up again, you all know how much I LOVE their products so naturally I became a demonstrator. This officially was also the month my Meetup Ups took off. I teach all kinds of classes in Manhattan so come on by and visit my meet up group and have some crafty good times… http://www.meetup.com/Serenity-in-Manhattan/. My little baby who is growing up turned 8 years old, can you believe how fast time flies? Although the celebrations started out rocky, Lucas said “Mommy this is the best birthday I EVER had”…not sure how this happened when it was planned at the very last minute and I did not get to invite more than 3 lil guests. Obviously it did not matter one bit to him, Grandma, Mom, Nelson, Shawn, Shania and Jade were there so that was good enough for him. Titi Frances, Betty, and Boo Boo join us at the tail end but just in time for the delicio...
