I Live For Little Moments Like These!

Well folks, this is what life is all about, little moments! I love layouts that can reflect a theme or a mood and this is one of those. You could you a series of pictures or a variety of special memories. This is another QP made with Jaydensmama Designs Neapolitan Coconut Kit and can be found at www.jaydensmamadesigns.blogspot.com. I actually used 2 of her papers, one I used as an overlay to get the look I wanted for the background. You can do so much with this kit! Be sure to check out all her cute stuff. This QP has no text on it so you can put what ever is best for you on it! Enjoy! Teri :)

Oh, To Be Blessed With a Godly Husband!

We have been looking at the Proverbs 31 woman and now we get to look at her hubby! Verse 23 says " Her husband is respected at the city gate,where he takes his seat among the elders of the land." I am so blessed to have a very Godly husband. He is one of those men who, everyone he meets, automatically likes him. He has a knack with words, to say the right things at the right time...(well for the most part) He has stuck his foot in his mouth a few times! Ha Ha! After all , he is human. But he is one, who, no matter what you believe, you would respect him and he is well thought of in our community. He is a leader (elder) in our church and is one that people know they can turn to when there are things that need to get done. Now, why am I saying all this? Well, we, as Godly women, can do a lot to help our husbands be this type of man. This is a "Oh, me" lesson. I am way too often, not a helper in our ministry together...but sometimes a hindrance. I am, more than I care to admit, selfish with our time, my wants and desires. I want to be the wife that supports him in what God has called him to be and do. I may be writing this just for me, but I needed to reflect on the blessing of a Godly husband and my role as a Godly wife! Sorry, you got the lecture too! I am going to try to be more of an encourager and less of a whiner....I bet he notices... take care and have a great holiday weekend....His, Teri

Am I Blue? Not me!

Well I was privileged to be able to help out a sweet fellow scapper, once again.
MJ over at Pretty Scrappy is opening her store this weekend! Be sure to go over and check it out along with all the other goodies at Pretty Scrappy. She will have her things on sale this weekend so take advantage of the lower prices while they last. I enjoyed this little QP and I hope you can find that perfect photo to use it with. I think it would also make a great journal cover with matching papers in the circle with a great scripture! My mind never stops as to how one might use all these great layouts that are out there in the digi-scrapping world. I think out-side the box most of the time! You know, there is a lot more room out here! LOL Have a great Holiday weekend! His, Teri

New Blog Header....woo hoo!

Ok, I am not very good at this, but I wanted to jazz up my header. Whatcha think? I really wanted to do something more "scrapbookie" but couldn't come up with anything! So this will have to do for now! Lates... as my middle son would say!

"Gimme S'more" I Don't Want Summer to End!

My family loves the outdoors! Now my idea of camping has changed over the years, from a tent to a fully furnished home....but the concept is the same for me! Family and friends, hanging out, making memories that will last a life time. Late night talks with my daughter, ton's of laughter, swimming, floatin' the Frio, watermelon, homemade ice-cream, star-gazing, horse-shoes, family reunions, hummingbirds, card games, jeep rides, blown diets, late nights, late mornings, oh and a new tradition, press on tatoo's (for my grandson, but we all get them!) total relaxation! Oh, please, gimme s'more! Enjoy your last little bit of summer! Have a great Holiday weekend!

The "Creative" Proverbs 31 Gal!

Verse 22 of Proverbs 31 says "She makes for herself cushions of needlework; her clothing is fair linen and purple." I looked at several translations of this verse and I loved this one the best! I guess because it reflected a more creative lady. Cushions of needlework? Well they didn't have scrapbooking back then right? If they had I am sure she would have been a digi-scrapper! LOL But we know, she was resourceful right? Creative also. And so are we! She took pride in what she did and how she looked. She made sure she dressed for the part. What part? A noble woman. And in today's world, that in itself is a challenge! Remember, I have not arrived, but am on this Virtuous Woman journey with you. If you feel like you could never measure up to this ladies standards, you are not alone. AND you are right! We, can not measure up to what God has called each of us to do. Only through Christ, can we become what He wants us to be. We are truly, work's in progress. That's the key...we need to be making progress. Come along with me, won't you? His, Teri

September is Just Around the Corner......

Here is my first desktop! I still don't want to say goodbye to summer, we can keep it in our minds and on our desktops, right? I used a darling kit "Paradise Lost" by Spinkd. You can find her kit on her blog at Spinkydinkscraps. Leave some love for her and tell her thanks for letting me use her kit so I could share it with you! I think she is a great designer! A gentle reminder that you still have time to get in on the August Tumbler Challenge at DigiScrapDepot! Please make a tumber using my template and join the fun! You may win one of two great prizes! Hurry before time runs out! His, Teri

With A Cherry on Top!

Here is my first QP for Pretty Scrappy. I am a new CT member and I am loving having so many great designers to work with! I am still in awe, feel like a "little leaguer" playing with the big boys! There is nothing wrong with little leagues! Just kinda scary when you walk on that field for the first time. I love the colors and the texture of this kit. I also think it is very versatile for a mini-kit. To go to the Pretty Scrappy store just click on the preview. I made the QP availaible with and without the word art to make it more user friendly! Enjoy and leave me some love and let PrettySrappy know if you like my designs.... pretty please? With A Cherry on Top!

2009 Calendar Template for March and Some Exciting News for Me!

So as promised, here is the third in my 2009 Calendar templates. I really like the circles in this one...kinda look like flowers. I wasn't sure on my photos, so those can come later! The main thing is to get busy on our calendars so we wont be stressed to get them completed if we want to give them for gifts for the holidays. I have been very busy lately and so that is why I have not had as many posts or freebies to share. But not too worry, I have been busy creating so they will be coming soon! A lot has happened in the past few days. I am now an official CT designer for three great Designers. Pretty Scrappy, Angel Wings and Things and Jaydensmama. They are all fantastic and will open up lots of new creative things that I can share with you all! So a big thank- you to these gals for believing in me enough to let me create for them. Please go to there blogs and say thanks if you like what I do. I will post there information on my blog but here are there addys... http://prettyscrappy.com/ and http://jaydensmamadesigns.blogspot.com/ and of course http://angelwingsnthings.blogspot.com/. So be on the lookout for some great new designs made with their darling new kits!
