Friday.... The 13th...
Ok... so things have been a little upside down these days... It seems that whenever our family goes through life changes... it is always a TON of change as opposed to something small and simple... Well we are working towards simplifying that. Part of that is spending a little more time here blogging and recording our events :)
So since today is Friday the 13th... I want to hear from YOU! We have been on vacation, I have come back from brave girls camp, we both (me and James) have recently returned from CHA and on top of all of this we are moving... so being that it is Friday the 13th... I want to hear from YOU what you want me to blog about next. whether it be Brave Girls Camp, CHA, new product, our family, home... YOU let me know... and we will try and get something fun up...
Leave a comment here with your blogging recommendations and I will have James pick the most creative (we will also do a random draw to keep it fair) that will win a fun Glimmery surprise from us. That is TWO chances to win. Leave your comment here before Sunday, August 15th, 2010 and we will announce a winner on Monday August 16th, 2010 (hopefully we will have internet, lol!).
Looking forward to hearing all of your creative blogging ideas!

On this last day...
Of 2008, I look back at what we have been through as a family and I am so proud. From kindergarten, to first days of pre-school, new jobs (both me and James) baseball games, soccer games, emergency room visits (3 total) parent teacher meetings that made me smile and those that made me cry (apparently Autism doesn't exist in kids under 5 according to the school district)...
This year has been our year to grow. As I approached 30 I truly felt like it was such an accomplishment and that it was the beginning of better things for my family. No longer am I the "young" one of the group. Now when I state my age, nobody says anything...which is a good thing!
As we catch common ground with the world and find our footing, we are so blessed and fortunate for what we have endured this year. The good and the bad have stuck to us and given us perspective on the truly important. They resignate in our minds as we tackle each challenge and decision. This year was truly our year of growth, and although growth tends to hurt, it is always for the best. This year was truly the hardest by far for our little family of 5, but as we snuggle together on the couch during a movie night, I thank God that this is who I was chosen to breathe life with, because my family (although as insane as i may make them out to be) keeps me sane and is truly my purpose for life.
I hope this year finds you in great health, a positive attitude and an outlook to the future that is ready to conquer. Hug your family, kiss your loved ones and be safe today. Truly reflect on what is important to you at this very moment, and hold it true all year long. Don't let life delegate where and when you do things, be your own dictator and make this year worth every breathe.
Happy New Year!
With tons of love,
Liz and Family

I just love it when I get a little pick me up from my friends. I have recieved a few of these in the past and have always failed at returning the the favor and nominating someone else. This time I am making sure that I pay it forward and share the love.
This was given to me by one of my students and friends, Stacy. She is a super sweet and untra talented scrapper, so this was such a treat for her to think of me. I also need to mention my Ck friends, Rachel, Shaina, erica and Tomie who have nominated me in the past, and I never got around to responding on my blog (thanks ladies) thier blogs are kept on my right side bar if you would like to check them out!

5. Leave a message for your nominees.
I am so blessed to have many talented and wonderful people in my life so five is tough to choose!!! (you can see why I never got around to doing this in the past!) So I will nominate the ladies that nominated me in the past, as I really do love their blogs.

Up to something....
As always, I am up to something, usually family stuff but this time I have a little scrappy news to share too!
First off, how do you like my tunes? Yes once again, I decided to beautify my blog, but this time with my most favorite thing in the world...music. I absolutely LOVE music, it was my life before I had my kids and found scrapbooking. I have been singing since I was in grade school, and my high school had the most AMAZING choir department. I know this now as I have been in various other groups and have realized just what a blessing my music education has been.
Most likely you may not make it past the first tune, but the rest are just as wonderful, well to me at least! I started my playlist out with Another Hallelujah by Lincoln Brewster, whom I always assumed was from Hillsong in Australia, but he is actually a states boy, and not just that from Modesto California!!! Well, I love the song and most people will notice it from Shrek, but it actually is a REALLY beautiful worship song, Huh who'd a thought on Shrek? The Next is a song from I think She's having a baby, (one of my favorite 80's movies) although the original sounds a bit different, this was the only one I could find on playlist and well, the words are so pretty and the music just rocks. Third, WORLD by Five for Fighting. I heard this song so many times last year and yet it still brings me to tears. Five for fighting started a charity where everyday people could use this song and add it to their own music video for a cause. Being that I was dealing with Autism with Sawyer last year, I received different links to different peoples videos from many of my friends. I watched them, as much as I could but from there I gained strength, knowing that God had a bigger plan for my boy, and in him I was helping to create the world that I want. I am tearing up just thinking about it.
The rest of the songs are a hodge podge of this and that that reflect what I like and well, what I have to listen to all the time ( hence the veggietales, but who doesn't like the cheeseburger song?) A little folk, a little 80's, a little alternative, jazz, show tunes, worship, and classical, new age, have I missed anything?
Besides that I am up to something on the Fire and Ice blog. Each week I will be posting a new Primadonna that we will be featuring on there. We will be sharing the tricks of the trade and some pretty nifty ideas that we have come up with for these clear albums. This week, straight from Hamburg, Germany is Nathalie Kalbach. A totally cool chick that you can check out here.
Every Wednesday we will be changing the Primadonna so be sure to check out the blog for some cool and fun tricks and techniques.
Thanks for peeking!
