I can't believe it is June already.

My the time is slipping away. So much has happened recently and I think I forgot all about this blog. My mom had a freind visit for the month of May and so we went to Seward and also Talkeetna. The day we went to Talkeetna was such an awesome day. Mount McKinley was absolutely gorgeous and clear. For those of you who do not know, Mt. McKinley is the tallest peak in North America. We also saw sheep on the hillside on our way to Seward, as well as some moose. I really do live in the most beautiful place in the world.
I am so excited because I was voted as the team best LO in the scrapping garden for May. I really have not gotten alot of pages done recently with all the visitors and such. Also been working on a sermon for this Sunday as our officers are on vacation. Jessica will be traveling to Washington on the 15th to be on the divisional VBS team there. Paul and I are both attending the Western Bible Conference at the end of this month. It will be a nice time together. He is flying home and I am driving with my mom back home. Then it will be time for camps here and VBS in August. Here is the LO that won team best. Thank you to all who voted for me.

my baby is turning 21

My daughter is turning 21 on Saturday April 26th. I can't believe it. It seems like only yesterday I was holding her in my arms completely ecstatic over a newborn adorable baby girl. The time has gone by quickly. I am very blessed that my daughter has stayed faithful to the Lord Jesus and the church. She is a wonderful caring young lady and that is hard to find among many at her age. I praise the Lord for her everyday. I have been busy scrapping digitally and want to share some recent LO's, one is a gift for my daughter for her birthday. It is photos of each of her first 20 birthdays and then a recent one. The template used is by C Schnieder at sweet shoppe, The kit is "Love is a Journey" by Lise Lotte Sunesen.

I have also been busy doing some heritage LO's. I have really enjoyed scanning old photos of my family and have done several LO's. This one I am sharing is of my dad in his early years. The template is by Jen Maceyunas at scrap outside the box. The kit I am using is by a new designer who has done an awesome job. It is called "Grandma's House" by April Sevigny. It is a huge kit and she has it divided into 2 element and 1 paper kits.


I hope you enjoy these. I will try and post a little more often. You are always welcome to check out my latest LO's in my gallery at the scrappinggarden here
Have a great day and remember God is in control.

It's March already!!!

I can't believe how fast this year is going. It seems like only yesterday we were setting of fireworks and waiting for the magic stroke of midnight. So many things have been happening and it is sometimes hard to keep up with. We are doing fine here in Alaska, our corps is getting very excited about building a new corps. Currently, we have no classrooms, which really inhibit young families from coming. We have very little space for storage, and the current building really is not in a good location anymore. A majority of our active members live at least 10 miles away here in Wasilla and so we are planning on building on camp grounds. It will be great.
I am actively learning scrapbooking on the computer and a little about designing kits for digital scrapbooking. This in turn is great information in designing Salvation Army stuff. I am also doing our Sunday School Iditarod contest which we started in February and will conclude the end of this month. We have been having a great time and everyone seems to be enjoying it as well as and most important really, they have been responding to the lessons learned about their faith. Even got some learning Bible verses each week.
I have been working on several Layouts and will be sharing just a few hear today. Check out the slide show for more of my work, hope you enjoy these. thanks for reading my blog. Credits for LO: Pat Hall kit "Tyler", template from gottapixel challenge.
