One day at a time (and project shares)

Today was one of those days where I felt stuck at a crossroads. I could wallow in pity for what I've lost or pause and give praise for all that I have. The choice was easy! Life is the sum of experiences that we encounter as go through life. Day to day to struggles and triumphs are experienced by all of the world's creatures. As human beings, when we encounter a challenge, we have freedom to choose how to react. Every decision that we make leads us down another road. We will never come to exactly the same crossroads. Every decision the we make has significance. The tiniest choice that is made reverberates throughout the entire universe.

My Family: Me, Hubby, Kaetlyn (8), Sayde (15), Ryan (20) on floor Caleb (10) and Steele (12).



Here is a layout I made with my upline Michelle - she is such an inspiration! All SU products were used on this layout!









My first bag in a box project ... I was surprised at how simple these are to make! I love the new Razzleberry paper from Stampin Up!




Tonight I made card fronts for my very FIRST Stampin Up card swap. I used the Priceless stamp set, top note die and a new embosslit folder so I could play with my big shot. I was having camera problems so the picture doesn't show the true colors. I would love to hear which card front you like the best ... the one on the left with little flowers stamped around or the one on the right!

Blessings,
Samie
