I love my name!

Last night, we ordered pizza...AND sat in front of the olympics and ate! My children LOVE breaking our dinner table rule! Well, what does that have to do with my name? Not much....but I am getting there! My husband brought home some Diet Mountain Dew. Soda is a treat here. In the south we call it soda, in the north we call it pop. I have been here so long, soda comes right out. I do not call it pop anymore. That's what a balloon does! hahaha
Back to the soda:
Michael says to me, "Honey, your having Mountain Dew now??? That's loaded with caffeine!" I replied, "I know, but when it comes time to sleep I will." Well, I sat down at my scrapping table, completed my family blog and then pushed the computer aside. I was inspired suddenly to create. It started with my name and it was going to be a layout void of a photo. This page was going to be about me. Things just began to fall in line and it was as if I had created this page before. The more i worked at it, the more it felt like everything I grabbed was supposed to be there. In the quiet of night, I began to think about why it felt so deja vueish. Then it dawned on me I had dreamed of creating this page. Which got me to thinking. Could it be possible the pages I was creating{as it seems to flow so easy} are actually creating themselves in my dreams and my subconscious minds pulls those images forth during my working hours!?!
Nah, i am sure it was just the Mountain Dew! hahahaha
This page has some very emotional/meaningful pieces included. First, I will share with you the latest endeavour!
As always click on the pictures to make the pages come alive!
