Inchies Collection

This is how I decided to display the inchies that I made and received in a couple different swaps.

This is a 12 x 12 frame that will hang on the wall in my scrapping room for inspiration.

Trinity is coming home today

Trinity is coming home today. She has been a Duke Hospital since last Wednesday. She had her in line tubes put back in and did her first series of Chemo, which was three day. Monday she was going to have some of her stem cells replaced and then she should be coming home today. That should be all the chemo for April. Only three months of chemo series left to go.



Trinity, you are such a brave, strong girl. I could never be as brave and strong as you. I love you, Aunt Hope.

Favorite Color ATC swap

Here is my favorite color atc for the PAO swap. My color was sorta a burnt orange, it's not really my favorite color but it is nice. You could do anything as long as it was in your favorite color. I did monochromatic torn strips of card stock with a glossy accent covered stamps flower on top.

here are the others that I received in the swap.

"It's Spring" letters ATC swap

I played in a ATC swap on the PAO group site. I had the letter "I" for insect. Each person had one letter in the words "It's Spring".

Here is the ATC that I made.

Beautiful Picture

I did not take this beautiful photo, it was taken on March 5, 2009, by someone that works with me. This is a tree that is in front of the building that I work in.

Love this powerful quote! thanks Kesha

Live as though Christ died yesterday,
rose from the grave today,
and is coming back tomorrow.

Trinity's Caringbridge site

My cousins little girl has PNET brain cancer. Her name is Trinity Lamm and she is 7 years old. Today was the last day of her radiation treatment. She will start Chemo in 6 weeks. Her website is http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/trinitylamm . Please take a minute and read the My Story section which is where her updates are posted. There are also photos and a Guestbook that you can sign.

She is a strong little girl that is a real fighter. She does however need your prayers daily so that she can continue the fight.

first post

Okay this is the first post on my new blog. I am wading my way through all this blog stuff. I wanted a place to post scrapbooking pages and paper stuff that I create and/or receive in swaps. Most of the swaps that I play in are with the PAO board at www.paperartistsonline.com. I will begin posting swap stuff soon. Thanks for stopping by my blog.



I just had to start my posting a photo of my bestest of all times friend that pasted away in January 2008.
