Blessing #6 and Other {exciting} News!!

OK - Blessing or news first? You got it - Blessing.

Today I am so thankful for the health my family has been blessed with. With the exception of colds, we have a wealth of health. I have many family and friends who are struggling with some sort of health related issue. For some it is serious, whether short term or the long haul, I see that it is not an easy road to be on. Prayers go up to the One Who Can Heal everyday for you.

This is heavy on my heart today because both of my little ones had an accident today. First, Jed falls of the stool he has not had any problems with for over a year! He split his lip good. Lots of blood and tears. The Lord gave me just enough strength to make it through getting the kids into the van and driving to Urgent Care because the bleeding was too much for me to see the severity of it all. Of course it stopped on the way and they said that he's fine, it's a good split, but not in an area where they would suture it.

Once home, I'm putting Jed down for a nap. Stella is sitting on the bed with me while I read books. I stopped to give Jed a hug and tell him how thankful I am to Jesus for keeping him safe. Stella tumbles off the bed - a foot off the floor - and lands, I think on her head. So there is crying and tears and my emotions start going crazy. I called the Nurse Advisor line since she was acting OK and just wanted to know what to watch for . . . Stella is fine, but I am officially an emotional wreck.

Let's change the subject, just a tad . . .

So, if you've been with me from the beginning, I've been scrapping for about 6 months total -with a break somewhere in the middle. I've gotten used to the digiscrapping community online and found that you can participate by being on a designer's CT or Creative Team. I applied to be on a designer's CT about 3 weeks ago and was accepted! I'll be creating for Haynay Designs. A link to her blog is in the links sidebar. So, watch for her stuff in my LOs! It's really great stuff!

She's actually hosting a Speed Scrap tomorrow at Scrapmatters. This is a lot of fun and I'll be there if the kids are napping by then. She's got a great PP or Participation Prize (see below).


I'm totally digging the papers. That purple polka-dot is calling to me! Well, that's all for today. Thanks for 'listening' - I'm starting to feel a bit better!
