Paper Issues will be at Sketch Inspirations sponsoring the Sept 12th sketch!!!

Whew!!! Its been HOT!!!  Living in Texas with 3 digit temps for over 60+ days makes a person long for living in the arctic.. The last couple of days the temps dropped into the 80s... what a difference it can make.
The cooler temps had me inspired to think of fall and the autumnal colors that we (don't have) and wish we did. The most fall like color is in my decorations and food at Thanksgiving. This is a fantastic Sketch from Sketch Inspirations...If you havent scrapped in a while this sketch is sure to get your mojo in the flow!!!! Make sure you stop by http://sketchinspiration.ning.com/ for Sept 12 and see how others have fun with this!!!

I am so excited to have an opportunity as a Design Team Member for paperissues.blogspot.com to play along with the Sept. Sketch for Sketch Inspirations!!!  Having so many Thanksgiving photos,I had to tweak it a bit . Most of the products include, Bo Bunny "gift of love line",  Prima flourish, Making Memories slice tag maker, Ek success and my own handmade dimensional flowers.

Our family like any others is not perfect. Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, sometimes we hurt each other and say things we shouldn't or do things we shouldn't. Sometimes we feel that we don't like each other at times but know deep down we do love each other and would give our last bit of food to help each other. There are even times that we don't want to talk to each other. We are flawed, talented, ambitious, sensitive, loving, creative, full of laughter and full of jokes. Some how through it all we can come together unite in laughter and share food, play games and heal wounds,and build memories,  one laugh one hug, and one word of encouragement

This is another version of the sketch.. Its about my journey to better health. After weight over 300lbs and losing nearly a hundred I have learned alot about myself. Yes some of the weight crept back on but know I believe in myself. I know its not easy. I dont need easy. I just need possible. Thats my favorite quote from the movie soul surfer. It applies to all challenges we face in life.
