Daddy's Girl

She really is her Daddy's girl. For a while now I've been wanting to do a layout about the special relationship they share, but have been putting it off because I knew the journaling would be time-consuming. Well, after having lunch with a friend this weekend--and buying a new digital kit :), I became inspired. I am truly so grateful that Ashley has an amazing relationship with Carlito. I am so happy for both of them.

And here is the layout:
If you can't see it (thanks, Teena, for the "heads up"), you can click here and you should be able to see it.



Journaling reads: This is one of my favorite photos because it so clearly epitomizes the fundamental nature of your relationship. The depth of your love for each other is so evident in both pairs of eyes--you are so comfortable with each other.

What a priceless treasure God has given you, Ashley, and the best part is that you get to take this relationship completely for granted. You just get to soak up all your Daddy’s love and bask in it. You know on a very deep level that your Daddy loves you with all his heart. You know he will be there for you through thick and thin. He is your soft place to fall, your security blanket, and when he holds you in his arms, all is right in your world. And that is as it should be.

What precious memories are being made in this season of your life, the significance of which totally escapes you now, but when you look back on these years and remember your Daddy cuddling with you at bedtime and chatting softly with you, bringing you Jack in the Box at lunchtime at school, or whatever else he does that touches your heart, you will understand why I say that your relationship with him is a priceless treasure.

Enjoy it. Soak it up. It’s yours for the taking. How truly blessed you are.

Feb Year In Review Layouts

Just a quick post tonight. It dawned on me a few days ago that I'm already behind in my "Year . In . Review" layouts, so I put February's together. Believe it or not, for such a simple concept, these layouts took about three hours combined. I couldn't believe it! Anyway, these photos depict the highlights of February. Maybe tomorrow I'll do March :) (I wonder how many hours that will take?!) Just in case you're wondering, Carlos is still sick--no fever, just a sore throat now. Hopefully he'll go back to school on Tuesday ('cause I need some "me" time before I turn into a monster, lol!). 'Cause as you all know, life is all about me, right ;) Happy Monday, y'all!

Nehemiah: Sheep Gate (Symbolism)

hubpages.com http://www.prayfordetroit.com/ As I mentioned in my Nehemiah  post, God has nudged me this summer to study Nehemiah in depth because He has some things He wants to show me.  I am just starting Chapter 5, and I must say it is so exciting and interesting. I have to admit, though, that when I got to Chapter 3, it just looked like one of those boring chapters: it gave all the boring details about each section of the wall of Jerusalem that was being rebuilt, and gave countless names of the people who rebuilt each section.  I was going to skip it and move on to Chapter 4 when I felt the Lord nudge me to look deeper--that there was something here that He wanted to show me.   So I dutifully sought the Lord (and a research book, and the internet!) , and was ASTOUNDED at the incredible layers of symbolism in the names of the gates!  It has turned out to be my favorite chapter so far.  :)  God is incredibly amazing, huh?   The big pi...
Wow! I am so bugged that I never post anymore. Facebook is just so much easier. I'll just keep it simple-- random data: today I had Pho (Vietnamese soup) for the first time and LOVED it!! Seriously, you haven't lived till you've tried it :) I created two and a half sketches of future layouts, and halfway finished two more layouts. really on a paper-scrapping frenzy! This is one sketch: I joined the Facebook group "I grew up in Fairfield, IL, and thought I would die of boredom (but I didn't)" :D ... you have to have grown up in a dinky town to "get it" had a "day off from life" hanging out at my in-laws house all day ... ahhh! gotta love days like that I can't believe it's almost June already
