"I am beauty and Pappy's the BEAST"

Frome the title of my blog you would think that my child is silly. No she just watched Beauty and the Beast with Yaya last weekend. She has now transformed into Belle. Here is the scoop: We had so much running around to do today that we were running late, so asked Roy if he would pick Kenzie up from school and then meet us to drop her off. He did. By the time we got done, we called him and he said they had just gotten to our house and would wait for us. We pulled up to see them in the driveway dancing together! So darn cute. Too bad my camera was locked in the house. He said "You are the first of the girls I have danced with" so she said, "Pappy will you dance with me at my wedding?" It was so cute! Then she announced "I am beauty and Pappy is The Beast!" and so they went back to dancing. Just a memory I wish we had on camera for her to show her children when she has them. Or a good thing for scrapbooks. So, we get in the house, and start to settle so I can go to sleep since I worked last night and had 3 hours of sleep before going out to get everything done. I will be taking another 3 hour nap before going to work tonight. Maddie is doing well considering she was playing outside and her feet got out from under her. She fell face first on the side walk. She has a little skinned up nose, but all in all she is good. Ryan is in the middle of changing the break light on my car. It needs it. I have been suffering from blogger withdrawl, so here I am! And that about sums it up! More later!

The importance of connections

Many times, we don't take the opportunity in life to think about connections. Much like the way legos connect to erect the building or vehicle you are trying to create, without connecting pieces, our lives would fall apart. It's not often that we take time to reflect on those connections in meaningful ways. If I am honest, when we moved from Indiana back to Florida, we didn't appreciate the connections we had and so as I look back I wonder what life would have been like if we'd not only appreciated those connections, but supported them in meaningful ways. Since moving to Greenville, not only have we made connections, but we've made it a part of life to connect with those people we've met that have become more like family than friends. We took the time to find a church that really believes in connecting with their people and not in a way that makes the patrons of the church feel like they are just a player in the game of chess and that player's job is to be

Workout #27

So, here's the challenge. And above, you can see my entry. Kenzie had done crosswords or circle a words (I can't remember) with Gigi and I snapped a pic of her doing it. I absolutely love the design of the sketch we were supposed to use for this lo. It allows for a simple, yet stunning layout. It allows room for journaling as you can see that I added as well as plenty of negative space! And the breakdown goes like this, picture was taken from my collection, background paper was from k and company the best of k and company pad, the circles were literally just picked out of my scrap box. I didn't even look at the papers, i just did a random pick. the lettering was taken from an old sheet of alphas i had and I think they worked out great!!! Simple yet Stunning! Thank you Scrap Fit for the challenge.
