Forever Beloved

Faith, Love & Truth

happies

lots of goodness going on at my house right now…first of all it’s fall and there is a crispness to the air. that totally makes me happy 🙂 and those of you that know me know what fall means….oh yes, the harmony truck pulls. woot woot…only two more weeks till them. joe and i already have a date night set up for that night. loooooove date nights, i love reconnecting with that guy.

speaking of joe, he has an interview tomorrow morning at some place we’ve been hoping for him to get in to. so please, say a prayer for him…for us. it would be a total blessing if he got this job.

this is a altered hardbound book made into a ring binder album and it was totally inspired by one tia benentt made. it is a journal i am going to use to document my life right now. i am seperated from my husband of 11 years and, through faith, we are working on our marriage. at times though i feel i need to get feelings and emotions out and i want to use this journal/art journal as a creative outlet. i chose neutrals accented with red. neutral colors ground me and they feel so organic to me. the red symbolizes (and makes me feel) energy, strength and love. these pics are of the front cover, inside cover, first page and inside journaling page. i took a hardbound book, carefully removed the pages from the spine and added a ring binder to the inside. i used the pages inside as the pages of the journal. i will update more tomorrow…i keep meaning to get some football pics on here geesh

i have been tagged by karen…such a fun tag too 🙂

I must post the rules, 7 random things about me and then tag others to do the same. Sound fair enough, right? These are the rules…. each player starts with 7 random facts about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of their blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment.

1. i am a freak with meat…if it has ANY type of grissle or “hard” thing in it i seriously cannot finish eating it. also like that with green beans…can’t handle the strings on them.

2. i hate spiders…totally…and i swear they always look at me

pics…woo hoo

so the last few days i’ve promised some new pics here…i uploaded some new ones to my flickr last night so i thought i’d post some here too. my computer at home is sooooo slow that it takes me forEVER to upload to flickr, ugh. i will try to do a few each day.

here is mr. joe on our camping trip last weekend. when i was getting ready to take this i told him to smile and he said i am…on the inside. ha ha..i swear he looks the same in every single pic i ever take.

i am totally in love with this shot of them getting on the bus. i soooooo see a layout coming from this one.

wow was she excited to go or what?!?! isn’t she just the sweetest little thing in her dress with leggings and her bag. such a sweetieoh joey on the first day of school, he is always so excited to wear his new clothes. he is soooooooo “mr. gq”.

and here is a layout i did last night. i have just felt so much like creating lately. even random stuff at work or in a store just inspires me to create. i wish i could just haul my scrap stuff around with me and scrap on the spot when i’m inspired. and it feels so good to scrap again…and so good to have the desire to scrap again!
