Merry Christmas...

... I found this pic in the shoebox of photos I got from my mom's photo albums. Gosh, look at those cowboy boots!!! And that dress... way too funny.

I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. I got a roaster, a Xyron (2 1/2 inch), some scrapping paper, some stickers and some wonderful art work from my kids. Speaking of the kids, they had a GREAT Christmas! Everyone LOVED what they got even though it wasn't really what they asked Santa for...but they got some awesome stuff! Santa was generous this year. ;)

Now, onto the 40 days of scrapping purpose

Day 8: The Focus of Life

Journally: "With a quiet whisper my focus is my time spent with Him. I have always had trouble sitting down in the morning & reading his word...but I found that the process is not important to Him, it’s actually being with Him. I don’t do it everyday, but I should, but when I do I sit at my table with my bible, a devotion, a book of prayers, a notebook, pens, highlighter and a cup of coffee with my French Vanilla Coffee-Mate. When I do this I am at peace during the day & things don’t seem so crazy around here. It is then that I feel that I get the most and that is what I want to share with my family through my scrapbooks...."

PS. Please keep praying for my dad & my husband's grandfather. Both are sick, Marty's grandpa isn't doing well at all. They think it's his TIME! I don't know how Marty will handle that. My dad is doing better, but the meds they have him on makes him very sick. I hate that I couldn't spend Christmas with my Daddy!
