This month's BYOC kits are bright and full of happy color and best of all they are ready to go! These 3 just went up in
MY SHOP at the lilypad, and EVERYTHING in the store is 30% off to celebrate international scrapbooking day this weekend! I just kinda like the idea of shopping for good deals in jammie pants with no line ups ;)
Every once and awhile there are those people who cross your path and
leave an impact forever on your heart. My friend Kal is one of tho
people; anyone who has taken a class from her, listened to her speak, or
who has the pleasure of knowing her is a person who is left changed, left
better than they were before. The new pack above is a kit celebrating that incredible beauty, cuz
I think the world needs more people like
Kal and this is just what my
hands did with all of that thinking. Check out
HER BLOG, she
has beautiful Art and words that stir the soul. You will be inspired I
guarantee you.
There's a story behind my kits this month. They are all about Living life, loving life, going for it
with all you've got and sharing the best of what you have!
NOT something I take for
granted these days. It is only a few weeks ago that I couldn't even join my
kids for a walk no matter how badly I wanted to. So not only am I inspired
by my friend Kal's fierceness, bravery and strength as she has been
walking a similar journey, but I am trying
really hard to learn to make the best health choices I can. Trying do the best
I can with what I have each day, and do my little bit to help fill the
world with goodness and light. Amazingly it works every time, sharing goodness makes me feel a whole lot better and
brighter. Hence, the frenzy of giveaways this week. ( did I just say Hence? oy)
I am trying to be more open, trying to share more and that means I need to tell you a bit of what's been up. Weeks ago I got rid of all wheat, dairy and sugar ( as well as a whole bunch of other things)... I had had a wicked
migraine for months with no relief, severe pain all
through my neck and back and nothing was helping at all, no pain
killers no treatments and though I have suffered with migraines for most
of my life
That has never happened before. I'm usually a smile and keep on going kind of girl. But this time all I could do was lay there
on ice for months and tell my girls to come and cuddle up. Such a trapped and
helpless place to be. It was a tough road figuring out some
thyroid problems, and then battling through this at the same time. Hard
to be inspirational, hard to just get up and try to be a wee bit wife and mommy
while hurting so so much. I'm not telling you this to bore you with a sad story, just being real. I definitely want to not only live life, but absolutely
adore every minute of it! Simply existing is just not an option for
me. NOT!!! I've never been someone who just let's the days all run together, and
I
don't wanna be, SO here's to all of that positivity I'm grabbing at, here's to mighty conquering and
choosing to give life your
ALL no matter what comes your way...aaaand a few spray painted butterflies thrown in cuz spring is my fave and they make me happy.
I LOVE this beautiful layout by Amanda Resende, she always manages to wow me with her flow on a page but this one makes
my eyes so happy I just wanna keep looking! The wood grain paper
looks perfect next to my journal tree, I adore her use of warm colors, and she did an excellent job of clustering everything above the line, leaving lots of white
space to rest the eye. Amazing job Girlie!!! Show her some Love

The kits are up and you can find them HERE
OK friends, Leave me a comment by Monday morning 9:00 CST and tell me how you are
fierce in the face of life, how you are choosing to put goodness into
the world. I'll will pick two peeps to win all three of these sets. I'm happy to
help you get it printed if you are a non computer person.
Can't
wait to hear how you shine!
