AAAGGGHHH!!! Finally!!!

I have tried to upload my latest layout in a couple of my galleries and it just won't upload. I'm going to try to get it up here. The kit I used iz from a wonderful friend Leaonna Kizer of busyscrappin called "Jesus is the Heart of the Season". I used a new font to use it in a font challenge at Faith Sisters but couldn't get it to upload there. I tried uploading it other placez az well. I finally decided to just post it on my blog and pray that it workz here. I've put the full creditz below the layout (if thiz all goez az planned). So here I present My Favorite CHRISTmas Tradition:


Journaling readz:
In our home we have a tradition we started when the kids were very young. On
CHRISTmas morning before anything can be opened we take a small gift box and each
take turns putting a foam heart into the box. For we all know the only thing Jesus would
want from us on His birthday is our hearts. We then close the box, sing happy
birthday to Him and finish it with the chorus from come all ye faithful
which is Come Let Us Adore Him. When all that is done we place the box into
the tree branches and then and only then are the kids allowed to start
opening their stockings and presents. We also have a dinner followed by a
Birthday cake just to make sure the kids "get it". It has become my favorite
CHRISTmas tradition and hope that now as the two older children are out of
the home (not having kids for quite a while I hope) that they will continue
the tradition. Even when they come over CHRISTmas day they still ask to put
their "gift" in the box.

Life Happenz!!! I've been doing a little scrappin in-between trying to close the bookz at the church and get the donation statementz done along with the end of year taxez. Not to mention the health issuez. Nothing has changed except for the doctor finally gave me something to help me sleep and some valium to loosen the musclez that really tighten up when the cold weather setz in. Sleeping more than a couple hourz iz such a wonderful thing!!! I've done a few pagez I'd like to share with you all so here they are:

Thiz iz my mother-in-law, she's with the LORD now, but I learned so much from her. She truly left a remarkable imprint upon my heart. Click each photo to read their full creditz.

Thiz iz a photo of my in-laws, I used it for the Heritage Challenge which was vintage weddings.

Thiz pic of my kidz waz taken in my SIL'z backyard. I used it for December'z quote challenge at Just For The Scrap Of It.

Thiz pic iz of my youngest and we were reading the bible while waiting for her sister to get out of school after I read the scripture she showed me how she could fly like an eagle. I used the layout for the Snap It! challenge at JFTSOI which was to be a photo shot at an angle. I really like how thiz one came out!

Thiz pic waz taken at my uncle'z wedding just a couple monthz after ourz. I used Amy Sumrall's new kit Lovey Dovey Days which is available at the JFTSOI store. It was for her Trend Challenge which was layering/clustering.
