Yeah! I did it!

Okay, okay not when I said and not the one I said but I finally scrapped! And it went fast and smooth! I decided to do one of Noah before doing the one of Dylan first, just because I felt the mojo for it!

Also I decided I would not scrap till I had my scrap/paint area totally organized and cleaned and that took some time getting done between my mess and all the junk we are going through right now with our grandsons living with us! Let me tell you being involved with CPS can be the pits even when you are not the one who was doing something wrong! Let me tell you I am learning that they can't be trusted! Or at least I use to believe that people in those positions were honest and now I know better! But let me tell you I would lay down my life for my grandkids as would my hubby!!

sO HERE IS THE LAYOUT THAT IS THE FIRST SINCE jAN 09.

I am back and I promise!

I painted last week and I am headed downstairs to scrap! SO soon you will meet my newest grandson! SO the next post wil be about my latest paintings and my newest grandson and his fist layout!! watch for it real soon!

Dedicating this post to my Mom!

First thanks Mica for bringing me back to my blog!

ON Jan. 30th My MOM was taken to be with the Lord! I miss her greatly! It had taken me a long time to even get any desire to move on! I talked daily with my mom and she was always there for me.

I encourage everyone to let your Mom know how much you love them! Always treat them with respect. It is a terrible feeling to be show disrespect from a child especially an adult child. It carves down into the heart. I hope and pray I never did that to my Mom!

I am posting a few photos and then I am going to go back to posting regularing and sharing about my grandchildren and scrapping which I must start doing as I know Mom would want me to go on!

Thanks for listening and for all who prayed all those months that we tried so hard to get her off the vent. She may have never came off the vent but I will always cherish that time spent with her and be grateful that my husband was willing to be without me while I stayed with her 750 miles away for 4 months. Somedays going to the hospital every single day were hard but looking back I would not trade a single solitary day and I am grateful to my God for each of those days!

Win a very easy RAK!

BUT first I must explain I did not make it to the crop in last entry myself because friday morning a special family member was taken home! Not my mom but a special cousin of my husbands who lived with my husbands father. She and him were roommates since my mother in law died and auctually although my father in law was her uncle she was older. She use to babysit my mother in law. A kind and gentle woman! Ruth will be sadly missed and never forgotten. Expect some layouts!

Christmas at Our house!

Christmas at our house was held on Dec. 26th so we could have it with the boys! It was a little different then other years due to our limited budget! ONe of Noah's favorite gifts was his shaving kit!

Even Jason got in on the fun! And then Aunt Mindy had to get in on the fun and do her makeup. An update on my Mom, she is still in the hospital and not doing very well so of course your prayers are welcome!

I am thankful that the Lord sent his son to be born a baby in a lowly manger to teach us about life and to give us eternal life by dying upon the cross for our sins!
I am so thankful to be home for Christmas with my husband and family and I am ready to start the new year with my family also.

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

 
I am so thankful to finally be home! I am so thankful to finally be back with my loving husband and to be able to feel his loving support and stength and to have him hold me once again!

For those of you who have been praying for my mom, she came home last thursday and it was the worse 5 days of my life. Not so much for my mom's care but because of several reasons. First the hospital she was in INTERMEDICAL that is incompetent once again, sent her home with many things incomplete and not in place. I had to keep calling them, for instance she is on insulin and one of the insulins she is on the dosage depends on her blood sugar and you have to take her blood sugar reading and then follow a sliding scale to determine the dosage, they did not send the sliding scale with us! BUT THAT WAS ONLY ONE OF THEIR MANY MANY ERRORS.



I also wanted all to know that I have a wonderful Peace that passes all understanding from my wonderful Savior that has helped me to deal with all things above! I now can focus on my health and my wonderful family I have missed so much and those wonderful grandkids that have been giving me many many kisses!!! I love my mom and I am glad that GOD is in control and HE will do what He feels is right in HIS TIME but He helped me to know where I now need to be and that I did all I could and I thank HIM for all that time I had there with MOM and that special new connection and I can't wait to see MOM again, when and where. KWIM

THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS! SO TIME TO DECORATE! YEAH BABY! Right after a major dr's appt. today. eek! LOL!
