Therapy Scraps | wk 4

This is the final week of the adventure, so I wanted to close it out with something positive....

We've tackled some of the hard stuff... some of it negative and dark, but thankfully as we look ahead we always have the choice to see the good. Never let the rough things blind you from the amazing little bits of wonderful that  surround you EVERY day. Sometimes it might feel like you have to look extra hard to find them, but they are there... waiting to be noticed and appreciated.

So this week try this simple project.... jot down ONE thing you are grateful for each day for seven days. It might just become contagious and lead to 8 or 12 days.... 

Once you take the time to turn your heart to the positive, it can have a profound impact on your whole day... Try it, you just might like it!

Here's my take on the challenge:

by me

journaling: thank you... for simple moments, for laughter at lunch, for unexpected hugs, for a house full of  crazy kids, for text messages, for funny movies, for a supportive community.

My life is not perfect. I spend a good time of my life worrying over Josh's health, and medical bills, and the extra pudge I wish wasn't there, and the things I never got to say to my Mother before she was suddenly gone....

But there is SO much I am greatful for..... and I don't let a single day go by where I don't recognize those things... life is much too short.... cherish EACH and EVERY moment you have. 

Remember, the story of your life gets written whether you sit still or LIVE IT OUT LOUD.........

Here are some more takes on this challenge......

sunday standout + lo share

i just realized it's been ages since i've posted my own layouts! i guess that's because i'm typically so consumed in designing that i don't scrap as much as i'd like. here are some recent pages....

NEW in the Shop - The Bestiest!

Happy Saturday friends!

I'm excited about this week's kit! Let me back up by explaining how it came to be. I had this "grande" idea that it would be fun to have the designers pair off and "lift" one of the other's kits. Thankfully the other designers are just as crazy as I am and were game to give it a go! I was paired off with Penny, so I decided to do my spin of her kit called Chirp. I used the same type of color palatte, but then went a whole new direction with the theme. Hope you love it!

Spreading Sunshine...

One of my most favorite parts of the digi scrapping world is when we can spread a bit of sunshine on someone else's life. We spend so much time complaining about what WE don't have or how WE look, but sometimes we forget to look around and share a hug or a kind thought.

it's been a while since our last RAKlift and for those new to my blog, a RAKlift is where my team and I search for someone who is going through a rough patch and could use a bit of uplifting for whatever reason. we then each pick a layout from that person's gallery to scraplift... and wah-lah you have a RAKlift!

today we are hoping to send some sunshine to the lovely Valorie Wibbens, who a little birdie told us could use some special thoughts, so this one's for you Val.....
