All That I Have Seen

Gosh I'm sorry I've been away so long. Over a month, wow! 2010 has been such a stress for me so far and I have just not been feeling up to sitting down at my computer for extended periods. I am especially sorry I missed my Blogoversary yesterday, but MUCH thanks to Teena for the happy thoughts :)

BUT I'm back now. I do solemnly swear to make approximately one post a week as I begin the second year of this blog. I love blogging, making the wordart, the interactions with people, the whole deal.. and I need to get motivated to keep up with it.

I would love to join a forum. That seems to be the way to be social in the digi-scrap community and I feel like it is an aspect I have neglected too long.. My problem is I just don't have the time or energy to devote myself to a bunch of them, the way I know some people do.. I want a place to socialize that is low-pressure, fun, and has a great group of people to interact with. Just one for now, and then hopefully I will branch out. Any suggestions? Please! :)

From God's Love

Ah well I'm swamped. Working all day Monday through Wednesday this week because the kiddos are out of school for Christmas break. Also am missing a couple crucial Christmas gifts and have neglected cleaning my house quite long enough. *sigh. I'll get it together on Christmas Eve, no doubt. Last minute :)

Just blowing by to toss y'all a freebie and promise that it will be a resolution for the new year that I be a better blogger/scrapper/etc. Thanks so much for sticking with me and I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.

Dear God, We Gratefully Bow Our Heads

Hope everyone had a great holiday yesterday. Mine was nice, my whole family showed up and it was peaceful and pleasant. Lots of yummy turkey and watching all my nieces and nephews be generally cute :)

One thing that really struck me yesterday, that I wasn't expecting, was how I missed my Grandpa saying grace. It was always very simple, said with head bowed and hands folded. Something to the effect of: "Dear Lord, please bless this food to the nourishment of our bodies, direct and guide us, in Jesus name, Amen." How I miss his voice blessing our meals. I wish with I had a recording of his grace. It is a precious piece of my life, lost.

One more note about grace.. Growing up my immediate family did not pray, but grace was said faithfully at my grandparents' house. And all the adults thought it was so sweet to hear my sisters and I chorus, "God is great, God is good, let us thank Him for this food. Amen." And this went on for years.. Then one year I decided us children should coordinate a new prayer -for Thanksgiving!- and recite it instead, to surprise the grown ups. We were around the ages of 10(me), 6, and 4 years old, three sisters. I coached them for weeks in secret - although I know my parents knew what was going on. The end result wasn't the greatest, but that silly prayer remains firmly stuck in my head. I got it out of a prayer book for children, I wish I had that book... Anyway, today's freebie IS that prayer, how cute is that?

No God, no peace

First of all, let me post the winner of my Halloween costume comment contest.
I went to Random.org to determine the winner:

Pamela! Congrats! :)
Linda & Michelle: Since I am so grateful to you guys for your support, I'd love to send you one of them for free, just for playing along.

Just leave a comment here or shoot me an email (chrishel00@gmail.com) letting me know the email address you'd like your winnings sent to (and which Halloween bunch one you'd like to have, if you won a single one).

Oh, and just so you know, Kelley wasn't included in the draw because she is my little sister. Not a digi-scrapper, just a fan of me :) :)

In other news.. I hope everyone had a fun, happy Halloween! I enjoyed giving out candy and seeing my favorite trick-or-treaters. And then on Sunday the Cowboys won! Whoop!

Also: is the time change throwing anyone else a little off? This morning I woke up in a slight panic, thinking Joe was late for work. The sunlight was streaming through the window and I was so sure I'd slapped the alarm clock off and overslept! But no, just DST messing with me :)

I Can Do All Things

Wow, it's been too long. I have no excuse for my absence, really. First it was adjusting to my new job (I'm an after school mother's helper for a few hours each school day), then it was the flu that laid us low for a whole week, and then this weekend was busy, busy. So this week so far has been a time of pointless relaxation and getting absolutely nothing done. Bah! I need a schedule, but I keep putting off making one..

But I'm back again, I know I tend to wander off and I sooo appreciate you guys who hang in there with me. And much thanks to those who commented or emailed to check on me. I'm fine, I am just a scatterbrained person and maybe a little easily distracted by shiny things, haha. Here is the Bible set I have been promising for so long, and I will have another post on Friday with a freebie goodie and a bunch for sale.

Rise & Shine

Ah hello all! Back to the grind, though the vacation was lovely. We got our garage cleaned out! Yay! I'm excited to be able to park my car in there again.

Today is the day I put my job search on the top of my to-do list, I have no excuses left. The house is clean (clean enough!) and we really need the income. Also I'm enrolling in Web Design classes online, it's high time I got back to school and I think online learning will work out well for me.

What about you guys? What kind of job keeps you busy all day (if any!)?

Rock of Ages

Happy Monday. If you haven't already checked out my Monday Links blog, click HERE to check it out. Today I'm still toiling away at my Salvation Army community service hours to pay off my speeding ticket. It's probably the last day though, thank goodness. I'm wiped out!

Greater Love Hath No Man

Hi all! Today I am having to do some community service at the Salvation Army. I got a speeding ticket awhile back and then forgot all about it, this is my punishment. I have 24 hours to get done by next Tuesday, so it shouldn't be too bad. I hope :)
