A New Journey

In these last few months I have definitely stepped out of my comfort zone!
I left a job I had for 17 years!!
I moved from New Jersey to West Virginia to pursue a better life for our family!!
So what do I do now??
I have always been the closed, shy, I'd rather be home then socialize type of girl..My hubby is just the opposite! Well, I am about to change all that!!

I have had this dream for a few years now to get a job in the scrapbooking World!!
No don't get me wrong, I have loved every minute of my career as an EMT. I have met some awesome people along the way, I have even saved my fair share of lives along the way but I can't keep ignoring this "thing" inside my heart and head any longer! This "thing" is telling me that there is something more out there, this "thing" is telling me to create and to share my passion..So here is where the journey begins!!

I am now a Independent Consultant for Heritage Makers!! Why, you ask would a traditional, paper scrapbook artist go the way of the digital world??
My answer is very simple...I believe in preserving your Memories and History for future generations to share..It does not matter HOW it get's done, just that it is DONE!
There are alot of people out there that like the idea of scrapbooking but don't have the time or they think they aren't the CREATIVE type to be a scrapbooker! Heritage Makers takes all the guess work out of it!! The Premier Studio takes all the guess work out of what matches with what, and what embellishment goes with what! All the artwork is put into collections, all you need to do is pick one and open and create!
If your thinking to yourself, I'm not that creative..I can't make my own page or you don't have the time there are predesigned templetes that you can easily customize and make your own!
It is soo simple!! ANYONE can do it!! And here is the best part...At the end, you will have a book or project that will last many lifetimes!
And with Premier, you have UNLIMITED photo storage!! Once you upload your photos, they will be safe and sound. No more worries about your hard drive crashing and loosing all your precious memories!
Here is another great thing about Heritage Makers.. Once you create a project and publish it, it's saved in the archives..If for any reason your book or project gets damaged or lost you can order another one for half of the original price!!
So as you can see I am VERY excited about my new venture!!! Please check out my website and find out for yourself what Heritage Makers is all about! http://heritagemakers.com/462296
I know you will fall in love just like I have!! And when you do, call me and we can discuss starting your own project, Hosting a party or even your own business!! The sky is the limit!!

Strange Dreams

I have been having the strangest dreams off and on..Not sure what it means, if anything.
They all have the same theme..I'm with a man that's not Bryan (my hubby) Last night's dream I got caught with they guy walking on the street..It's just plain weird..
The old me from years ago would have done that sort of thing..The Me of today... No way!
Why you ask?
1. I am married to my Soul Mate and Forever Love ...this makes my heart sing everytime I think about it!
2. I've grown up!! I'm wiser now and realized those patterns I fell into were because I was craving love..Not a good way to get it btw..It NEVER worked out!
3. This should be the #1 reason.. I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and was washed of all my sins :) I am a new person and with the help of the Holy Spirit make Godly choices..

I still beat myself up over some of the stupid things I did..I know God has forgiven me but it's hard to forgive yourself. Why is that??
I don't think about it all the time, and would never act on it..So why dream about it all??

I busted the car!!

I took the kids to Pittsburg to Ikea almost 2 weeks ago..What a pricey trip it turned out to be..I spent only $134 in Ikea, I got the bookshelf I wanted for Faith's Collectibles..I got to the car and instead of sliding Faith over and putting her seat down, I didn't.. I put it over the top of the seat instead. Well that was a BIG mistake!! I got into Morgantown and we were just passing target and Sheetz when this college kid veered out over 3 lanes of traffic right into my lane..I slammed on my brakes and the bookcase slammed into the windshield!! 1 week without a car and $350 later= valuable lesson learned!!

Beautiful Sights

This was the sight outside my upstairs deck tonight.. It's going to be a beautiful day tomorrow.

After nearly 2 months of caring for my tomato plant I finally have a ripe tomato with 2 more not far behind!!

We had a few thunderstorms roll in tonight. After they passed I went out to put the trash out and found that my tomato had finally become ripe!! Can't wait to eat it!!

August 1st!!

Wow!! Where did the summer go??? Before you know it, it will be cold outside and snowing! LOL
I am slowly getting the house in order. I finished the girls room yesterday for the most part. I have 1 more tote full of animals to figure out what to do with and a few shelves to put up but that is it!!
My room is a disaster area!! Our bedroom furniture is in boxes waiting to be built..all of Bryan's hanging clothes are on the floor since the shelf fell..Waiting for the closet to be put up too.. Waiting and waiting..
I'm waiting to get my car fixed..I went to Ikea with the girls to get a bookshelf..Instead of putting the seat down and scooting Faith over I didn't.. On my way home I had a college kid veer out in 3 lanes of traffic and right in front of me..I slammed on my brakes and the bookcase came forward and slammed into the windshield! Very expensive lesson learned!!
