MIA

Wow I can't believe how fast this week has flown by! It has been a busy one for me. I'll try to get some projects posted later today. Hope to see you then.

Having Fun With Grandma

Saturday morning I was in the mood for scrapbooking, so I decided to do this week's sketch over at splitcoaststampers.com. I'm especially happy with this as everything was scraps except for the Whisper White Text. Cs.

I received many compliments to that was an added bonus!

So glad you could stop by. Hope to see you again.

Your Carriage Awaits

I love the colors Tonya chose for the baby's room! The room was put together just days before the baby was born, thanks to her step-mom Susan. That's cutting it close. I chose the crib to be the larger picture & took my title from it. I'm very pleased with myself on that one.
Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

What I'm Reading Now

I have just finished reading The Shack by Wm. Paul Young. It's about a man who takes his 3 young children on a camping trip to a location in Oregon. On this vacation, his youngest daughter is abducted & bloody evidence is found in an abandoned shack.

Four years later, he receives a strange note, apparently from God. While his family is visiting relatives out of town, he goes back to the shack to learn who sent him the note.

I can only tell you that from this point on, this book may change your life forever.

At the beginning of each chapter is a brief quote. I would like to share one of them with you.

Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.
