Some of you may be surprised to learn that I, the daughter and sister of two scrapbooking queens, have never scrapbooked before (well, that's not entirely true - my SWEET ABC book I did in middle school!). My friend Ellie is also a scrapbookER and has been trying to get me started for a while, and finally last night I got to put my cool Christmas gifts to use! SO yesterday afternoon/evening/night we had an extremely hilarious/fun/productive night!

Ellie and I were scrapbooking, while Alli, Stephen and Karyn hung out with us in the living room. (this evening included a Michael's/Starbucks run, and a very intense game of "Mister Bolliball")

I decided to start with New Attitude (tho I'll probably work backwards some) since it is fresh and I was inspired. So, it ended up being alot more fun and relaxing than I expected. I've actually hand crafted art books before, which is fun but takes a lot of work, this was all together a different experience, I found out.

So here are a few pictures from last night (all taken by Alli!)

Ellie and me going to town

(it took her forever before she had enough inspiration to get going)

I LOVE this. Great job, allibert!

My *first* ever real page!

Stephen joined in on the fun while Ellie was on the phone, and started

cutting off the heads of people in her pictures (haha, just kidding!)

I can't wait to scrapbook with you, Stephanie!

Now For His Love I Bare HIS Name

The past several weeks have been crazy/amazing.

God has been doing really cool things in me since New Attitude. I really came home with a new attitude - especially in regards for love of God's scripture. I STRONGLY encourage EVERYONE to download the messages (they're free @ newattitude.org) and listen to them! If you only have time for a couple to start with - I would suggest Josh Harris' and both of CJ's to start out with. My love for Jesus has grown so much, I praise him for it!

This last weekend, Todd Twining came to our church. Wow, what a fruitful time. How our church has already benefitted so greatly from his time here. In fact - a man in our church was healed miraculously! How good of God! And Todd had some pretty encouraging words for me. I am excited yet trembling with the fear of God for what he has for my life.

Vacation was wonderful and relaxing. I just love my family, and my ormond friends, so so so much. I miss this -
