    I would like to thank you for your projects and for all your wonderful giveaways.
    I think I am getting a handle on the big change in our lives of moving so far away from everything/everyone familiar and making life comfortable for my family and 'myself'. It has been a long slow road...but I did prevail... yeah

    Creativity through art is a spiritual solitude for me. It allows me to share bits of myself with my family and future generations. How grateful I am to have the health to do what I love.

    Recently discovered this blog although I've long been a fan of AliE's work - I'm a full-time soccer mom with a full-time job. The creations I make with my photos and videos remind me of our infinite blessings and score me lots of praise with friend and fam!

    Writing about yourself as special sounds like boasting. So this is a hard comment for me to write. I think when we feel special about ourselves, it is because others have told us so. This summer my friends say I am special because I have my daughter, her 2 kids, and her husband who has a brain tumor living with us for the entire summer. And we are all doing what we enjoy (and scrapbooking is right up there, even with the 9 and 12 year olds). So far things are good. But we take each minute as it comes. And now to scrap today's nature walk followed by Ben and Jerry's!

    I found papercrafting when I became mostly housebound on oxygen 24/7. It gave me a unique excuse to play all day! And the goodies I make put a smile on other faces! God is good and I am blessed!

    Something exceptional-one year ago I stepped outside my box and decided to create a software that combines photos, digital elements, and digital page design, all in ONE software! I am terrified and ecstatic all at the same time, but I'm going after my dream instead of saying "What if..." Thanks for the opportunity!

    My perfectionism often leads me to postpone things because I can't do them to my "perfect" standards. Example? A Week In The Life...but you know what? I think I might just record next week...life is perfect just the way it is!!

    We are on day 9 of no central air conditioning - it's 86 in the house and 100 outside, and I am glad to know that my exceptionally British sense of humour still works. There's a storm in the Gulf and we may lose power, but hey, we won't lose our AC because we don't have any. Ha!
