52 Blessings: Weeks 9 and 10

I haven't done a lot of scrapping in the past couple of weeks. And the only pages I've really done, I can't show here because they are part of my gift for my secret sibling Christmas gift. But I've had my blessings project on my mind a lot. It seems right now I have so many blessings - big and small - that it's almost overwhelming to choose which ones to scrap. Not a bad place to be. So this week, I narrowed my blessings down to two that I wanted to scrap....this is what I came up with.

Week 9: Young Women

I work with the teenage girls in my congregation (to learn more click here and here). It's not the easiest thing I've ever done and the last couple of weeks were particularly difficult. But now, looking back, I learned so much during this particularly stressful time. And I have a greater appreciation for my girls and their struggles. I really am grateful for all of "my" girls and the opportunity to work with them and to be a part of their lives.

Week 10: Christmas Music

I love Christmas music and anxiously await the day it's "allowed" in our house - the day after my birthday. It just makes everything feel right. This year I am listening to Josh Groban's Noel a lot. It's my favorite - now two years in a row. He has such an amazing voice!

Leaf Pages.

Another new kit by Breeza.

Breeza just whipped out this beauty last week. So much fun. I love how much there is going on with this kit. I can't wait to use it again and again.

I really wanted to scrap this picture and this kit was perfect.

And then I thought it went well with leaf pictures from Saturday...

52 Blessings: Week 8

After reading the Declaration of Independence again this week, I truly am grateful for the most important and inspired document of our nation's history. And I'm grateful for our forefather and their sacrifices. Our right to vote wouldn't exist without them.

I am really pleased with how it turned out. I used Pioneer Woman's Soft and Faded action to get the photo just right. I can't wait to do a few more pages. This kit goes perfectly with HD's costume.

And check back here on Wednesday for a QP blog train!

52 Blessings: Week 7

So it seems this is turning into a Monday instead of a Sunday project. It just seems like I can't ever get a page completed and uploaded on a Sunday. I'll keep trying though.

Anyway, it's finally starting to feel like fall here and I've been so happy. I love the fall! So, my greatest blessing this week is my favorite season.
