This is for all the strong ladies who have been through a lot in life and survived!! Say this out loud "I am strong because I know weakness. I am compassionate because I have experienced suffering. I am alive because I am a fighter. I am wise because I have been foolish. I can laugh because I have known sadness. I can love because I have known loss... you are a strong woman who has weathered the storm but still loves to dance in the rain!

a new me.

A new year.
A chance to try again. A chance to get it right.
I don't know what it is about the turning of that calendar page

but it always makes me stop and reflect about the past year.

And every year, I feel the same way.

I think, "I'm glad that year is over, I hope this one will be better."
Better? Better how?

 - Gina K.

Better?  Better how?... so readers, what do you think?  How can we make this a better year?  for us, others, ... its an interesting question and I wonder, "How will I answer this one?"...

'til next time,

PUNCHES:
I recently purchased some punches on her SU site.  Punches are a quick and easy way to add interest, dimension, and color to your cards, tags, and scrapbook pages. You can adhere punched shapes directly onto your projects or layer a sheet of card stock that has been punched over a coordinating card stock for a reverse effect. I look for great product on my friend's Stampin' Up site.  I enjoy looking at the Clearance and Sale Items. If you don't already have a Stampin' Up representative you can check out Jeannie's page HERE.

My friend, Jeannie Kinney, also has her own blog  and business:  Creative Connections.

She can also be found on FACEBOOK.

I thought you might enjoy Jeannie's Playlist too...

ELIZABETH, ILLINOIS

a great place to visit and shop

I recently toured the historic 1876 Historical Banwarth House located at 408 E Sycamore St; Elizabeth, IL 61028.  I enjoyed the tour and became a member.  I have already made one hat.  I sewed it by hand so don't look too close.  It was my first big sewing project since high school.  It was very fun.

"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths; guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you are good, O LORD."                                                -Psalm 25:4-7
