A new leaf has turned

As I mentioned before - I am in love with mini books. I started scrapbooking with a 12x12 book then went down to an 8x8 and minis. I love minis because you can give them as a gift or put them around the house and they are just oh so beautiful.

This one will be a gift most likely. It's a coffee sleeve mini with quotes from famous people about coffee! Yummy.

"I am selling kits to make these very mini books in my shop next week, keep an eye out! Love."

Since working out and interviewing for jobs I've felt so refreshed. I'm ready to take on the world. Which is huge improvement to this time last year. Then I was afraid of going out, of riding in cars and of life basically, every ache and pain worried me because of my car accident (it was bad, after my settlement I'll share pictures). I'm still afraid to drive, but I'll over come that some day!

And my first entry.

I love Casting Crowns. They have songs I love to sing along with.

Tomorrow I am going to take lots of pictures!

-Um hello? Is this thing on?

Cuteness to the max..

Handmade teddies! Can you imagine your child having a completely unique and beautiful toy like this? What about that guest room? I think it makes a classy addition. Found here.

This Summer Fun Mini Book. How fun is that? By Rhonda

(I think everyone should make a mini book at some point in their life! They are soooo cool. I will be selling Starbuck's Mini Book Kits in my shop soon. I made mine into a mini book with famous coffee quotes. It will be a gift someday for someone!!)

How awesome are these finds!? I am actually excited (because of Pony Party) to move (someday..soon?) and get rid of old junk and breathe in some vintage love. In my room, my kitched and bathroom. I can't wait for that new home breath of fresh air!

Anyway. In addition to cuteness:

I've lost a lot more weight, this photo is a before and after of my 3 week holiday, how cool is that? I'm very excited and happy about it, because I feel so much better and I can exercise easier. And I love going to the gym!

Something else I love: The Lord. I can't tell you how awesome it feels to love God and let him take you in his arms and care for you. I've never felt sooooo good. I'm not perfect either..just so you know..I could probably use reading my Bible everyday - but I'm working on it. I always remember:

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness. And all these things shall be added unto you."

So..I've been seeking Him first :)

Today

Although I still have this strange feeling about me..it only seems to hit me when I am not keeping busy. My plans for tomorrow include..waking up at a reasonable hour, having a smoothie and tarting the day working, listing things on ebay and etsy.

I have a book my Dad gave me to read and I figured I may start on that too.

I think it's important to involve God in your everyday life. And it's something I grew out of or never really grew into? Well since I love art and crafting I was thinking of making a journal of sorts that I can read my Bible and illustrate things or just make like a scrap book page for it. Or a prayer request list. Maybe some goals too.

It's a part of my life that some people think I'm sooo involved..because I go to church 3 times a week..but I desire to go to church 3 times a week plus read my Bible and pray everyday. 3 hours to me isn't enough dedication to someone that created an eternity for me. So..I really need to show my gratitude.

Of course I will let you know what comes of it.

I just don't feel me!! I want to whine and moan and cry and it's not like me to. It's like me to see the good in everything and take advantage of everything. But right now I feel very broken down, useless and discouraged.

I think I need a friend.
