Everything happens for a reason!

Over the last month I have been constantly reminded that

everything happens for a reason!

Last night was no different. 

I had a very humbling experience of just how

small this world really is!

Oh and how technology assists with that.

So this morning I came home and read some 

emails and wanted to share this

VERY IMPORTANT LESSON:

In ancient times, a King had a boulder placed on a

Roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if

Anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the

King's' wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by

And simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the

King for not keeping the roads clear, but none did

Anything about getting the stone out of the way.

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of

Vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the

peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the

stone to the side of the road. After much pushing

and straining, he finally succeeded. After the

peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed

a purse lying in the road where the boulder had

been.. The purse contained many gold coins and a note

from the King indicating that the gold was for the

person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The

peasant learned what many of us never understand!

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve

our condition. 

the new ME!!

Has it really been almost a year since my last post. I believe it. I have not been much of a person the last year. I have been breaking through my shell over the last couple of months and am trying to get my creative side back. I will post some of the things I have done over the last while later. I am trying to start up photography as well. It is absolutely amazing to me what can be caught on camera. I hope this will be something that comes easily to me. Because of this I am looking for some willing subjects so let me know if you would like to be photographed and I will see what we can do. Also I want to thank all of my friends and family for the last year and hope this new year will bring even more great moments!!

What did I do?

I think I'm being punished from the blog god. I have not posted any crafty things for a while. Today I decided that I would take pics from stamp club on Sat. and guess what. My camera battery is dead and for the life of me I can't find the charger. Sam and I have been searching the house for over a week now. I am going to cry. Please blog god help me find my battery charger!!!

My MOM!

My mom was inducted into the King Koal association Bowler's Hall of fame yesterday.

It has been a while since I posted. Haven't been doing much. Got puked on by Mandy's baby Evelyn tonight so right now I am waiting for my shirt to wash. Yams! yum! Stamp club is in a couple of weeks I will post my projects. Until then!

Hey I was just getting used to 2008 now I have to try 09. Seriously where has time gone. I hope everyone had a lovely holiday season and I am so glad it is over. I am actually ready for spring, bring on the flowers and cute dresses. For now I will have to bear the cold oh well. Here are the 6 yes I said 6 pics that were taken at our New Years Eve bash at our house.



This was my basement at midnight for the champagne toast
5-4-3-2-1-Happy New Year!




And the last 3 survivors, plus me cause I took the pic



I always wish that I had taken more pictures after the party is over and I don't remember much. Just kidding I remember all (most) of it.

I hope everyone had as happy a new year as I did!
