First DigiScrapped Page

Thanks to Terrie! I signed up for a trial version of PSE and digiscrapped my very first page in a "no paper" mode! It was quite a learning experience and I know I'll try it again and again.

This page commemorates and saves for posterity our recent wedding anniversary celebration--we had gone to lunch and DD2 snapped this photo in the restaurant's parking lot.

"For better and for worse ..." The words of our vows become more and more meaningful as we awake each morning, realizing the importance of commitment in marriage and the sincerety of married life. Did you know that our English word sincere comes from two Latin words that mean "without wax"? There's something for you to Google! We learned that in our pastor's excellent message this morning as he spoke of the many kinds of love.

God's agape (unconditional love) to you and yours because of what Jesus did for us all on the cross.

My Creative Space

I'm SO thankful for this newly created space for my small business paper crafting projects! I can't thank my DH enough for his help with the new floor & closet organizer.

We've been eating a lot of fresh garden produce, cold sandwiches, and salads this summer. But with the recent cooler Fall-like temperatures, it will be nice to keep the crock pot simmering with soups and stews. We thought the "Never trust a skinny cook!" saying was appropriate for our kitchen, as well as a great excuse. Maybe it's time to get the bread maker out again too.

Sweet! Juicy! Yummy!

We'll have to plant more tomatoes next year ... E says "eat 'em up!" The drippy, sticky juice rolls off her chin and down her elbows.

I scored the black cardstock background and gently sanded it to give some vertical lines to the paper. Other papers are Perfect Day (CTMH).

Yesterday I added a Thank-You prayer ending with E's "Amen!" to this page. (Click on the photo to see the added journaling.)

E has just begun to say "Thank You" and "Amen" with us. It warms my heart to hear her say "Jesus" and hug and kiss Him in her books. When she visits us, she always finds the Pieta in our curio cabinet and says, "Hi, Jesus!" I have to get a photo/video of that.
