MANY THANKS..

grat·i·tude ( P ) Pronunciation Key (grt-td, -tyd)n.
The state of being grateful; thankfulness.

right now this sums it up for me. in fact ya know the overwhelming feeling that you get and you just can't really describe it or explain it. i'm feeling so greatful and thankful for so many things right now it's very overwhelming, in a very good way. so while it's quiet for a few minutes i wanted to make sure to say thanks.

i have to first thank my wonderful hubby. i've been a bit busy lately and he just picks up the slack. i had class this morning and we have a party tonight for our little one. i came home and he had finished everything i'd started and then some. i don't thank i say thanks enough. i know i'm lucky and blessed to have him in my life. he helps balance me. my kiddos have also been so wonderful this week and i've had a few moments with the older ones that i will definately put in my journal. the moments that you say aaahhh that's why i'm a mom and love doing it. it's really worth it.

i also have to put a huge thanks in here for such a sweet and wonderful friend. she came into my life at just the right time. i'm grateful daily for her and her friendship. i'm also grateful for the opportunity she has given me to teach at her store. i know she may look at me crazy some days and wonder what direction i'm going with something, but she gives me free reign on the classes and projects i do. she's absolutely wonderful. she's also got an awesome family to go with it. many of you know michelle, but if you haven't gotten to know her or meet her you need to take the time to stop in and do so. she's awesome and talented. (i think it runs in there family)

plus i have to thank so many gals from the store. too many to name names. i'm especially grateful for the girls that come and take my classes. we had a wonderful class and so much fun this morning. it made me remember how lucky i am to be able to do this. i've learned so much from these ladies and much more beyond scrapbooking. so thanks so much for being there.

and i can't leave out my heavenly father. because of him i have these wonderful blessings and opportunities in my life. i just sometimes forget to slow down and enjoy the process. even if it's hard we should try and enjoy it along the way right?! i just look around and feel so grateful for everyone and everything in my life right now and couldn't let the day go by with out saying

THANKS!!!!!!!
