Cards galore!

I have a few cards to share that I've been making for my Monday
bible study girls {I made these weeks ago though! Hey maybe I should make a card
to get out of my slump!} I made the 4th one the other day and it helped me feel
more creative! I always struggle with cards, but I tell ya it's been so much fun creating
these for each of the women in my study. I have enjoyed it a lot and its been so easy!
I think it must because I am truly enjoying the class and each of the ladies in it!




The one's without an envie needs a larger one in order to fit the card! But I did manage to create the envelopes with the other two! They are almost as fun as creating the card!

I just decided to put my supplies away until I felt like I was inspired by something. So those unfinished layouts will just sit until I finish them! Hopefully soon I'll feel creative again!

My grateful list this week {its a lot longer this time around I have much to be thankful for!}:

1. My friend Sarah. Because she loves me warts and all, but most of all we have managed to keep our friendship going even though she lives a million miles away {but I am seriously praying they come here!}
2. My new friendship with B, I am totally amazed at God's faithfulness with my prayers by sending me a kindred spirit of a friend! I really am glad for her!
3. A budget cause I love seeing the fruit.
4. A trip in the works with Sarah. Some place warm!
5. My job. Even though there are days where I want to quit, I am thankful of it.
6. Vanilla Rooibos tea at Starbucks! It's Heaven in a cup with just 3 pumps of vanilla I don't need sugar! It's SO yummy you should try it if you haven't already! But don't get the classic syrup, get vanilla it's sweeter and yummy!
7. Yes I am grateful this week for rice cakes. I know it's weird but its my new favorite treat. I love it with fat free whip cream and a little bit of caramel sauce {Starbucks}. Talk about tasty and filling that sweet tooth but without all that fat!
8. My Monday bible study. Little did I know that God would completely and utterly open up so many doors for learning about Hebrews and myself as well as the wonderful women in the group!
9. The really cute and beautiful things I've seen out there for Christmas. Although I think that having stuff up the day after Halloween is a bit much. But it's SO cute!!! We're decorating Dec. 6th.
10. For the gym. There I said it. I have struggled SO much in this area as of late that I am just depressed about it. But.. I managed this week to go to the gym 4 days and do the trainer workout from the evil one for the full week! And no, the trainer isn't evil, but the workouts she had me doing were.
11. My home group and everyone in it.
12. Being completely done with my extended family's Christmas presents except for the kids gift cards. I am even mailing everything by the end of this month! How's that for organized? Yeah!
13. For a clean home.
14. Not being annoyed when someone is riding my tail in the car! That is huge growth and praise from God for that one! I used to get so annoyed I'd slam on my breaks {yeah I know, stupid of me}, then it got to the point where I'd pull over if someone was doing it. Now I just ignore whomever is behind me and have decided if they want to get around me that bad, then either they will or won't!
15. Really hot showers because you always come out feeling so refreshed and renewed!

I also wanted to share that in the last few weeks I've found myself without a scrappy home. My all time favorite closed months ago so I started looking around.. I found one I thought could be my home, only to realize the boards confused the heck out of me and I didn't care for the layout of it all. Then I moved to another one and like that set up a lot, only the board fell apart as well as the team and the company.. And I even tried to go back to one I used to be on years ago. Although everyone was welcoming I felt like I was out of place, alone almost. And now I am completely lost. I don't have a home or a place to call my home. So I decided to jump back on the band wagon and find me a home! I think I found a good place! It's called Treasured Scrapbooking go check them out! I think I've finally found my place and can be settled again!
