I can't believe a month has past by

wow I did not realize that it had been a whole month since my last post. So much has happened since then. Let me start with the Salvation Army Western Bible conference. It was absolutely fabulous. The speakers were down to earth and inspiring. I enjoyed every minute of it. The next one being planned is in 2010 and I would recommend everyone to think about attending. The conference was held at Asilomar near Monterey California. We got to go to the beach which is one of my absolute favorite places to be. I love to hear the ocean come into shore. It was a great time and I am so blessed that I got to share it with my husband, mom, aunt Floy, aunt Dora, aunt Judy, and uncle Doug. Commissioner Gaither really challenged us to get out there and live our Christianity out loud and Bill Ury brought the book of Mark alive like I have never heard before.
This past weekend was our diviaional Family Bible camp held here in Wasilla at King's Lake, (the Alaska division Salvation Army camp.) Our special guest was long time friend Major Kelly Pontsler. The theme was come join our Army and even though I have been in the Salvation Army all my life, it was interesting and fun. I especially enjoyed the Salvation Army DNA and "are you smarter than a Junior Soldier" My sister, mom, and I did a workshop on Salvation Army Heritage. We split it in 3 segments. I did the part of the Salvation Army in Alaska, June did the Salvation Army in general, and we each did a little about our own heritage in the Salvation Army.
Now on to my scrapbooking. I have to say that one of my LO's done with all sorts of animals is actually a testimony of God's greatness. Recently it had been said that many times we pray but do not act like we believe God will give us what we are asking. My aunts and mom had been telling me all about the animals they had seen on the trip down to California and I wanted to see the animals also. I kept complaining about not seeing any and asking God to let me. But it was not until I acutally took my camera out of the bag and set it on the dashboard that I began to see them. You see, I had to act like I believed God would give me what I wanted. Here is the 2 page LO I did of the animals I saw on my trip home.

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.
