I am at a point in my life where I feel I have done this. It took a long time to get here and that isn't to say my friends in my past weren't positive and inspirational. Rather, that I still continued to have friends that were stuck focusing on the negate. It is so much easier to sit back and complain about life and the things that happen to us. It is easier to speak of our victim status and cry about why this is happening to us.
Then you have a friend who does something.. something that reminds you of what you'd like to be. The idealistic person who puts others needs ahead of their own, the person when faced with adversity.. shoves it off and reaches out to others instead. This is the person I strive to be. And I do get there from time to time.. I don't want this to come across as a self defeatist post, but sometimes, amidst my own dramas, I forget that there are other people dealing with far worse dramas.
Why such a long rambly post? My friend Wendy who I am so thankful is a part of my life in any way that she is.. has motivated me with her generousity. Earlier this week, when I saw one of those trees with all the children's tags asking for a gift for christmas, I walked by it. On monday when I take my son to school I will be pulling a tag in honor of what Wendy has done..
Wendy lives in LA and was told to evacuate her home recently due to the wild fires. Imagine a few weeks before the holiday having to decide what items in your life hold enouch importance to be saved.. and only having a car to fit them in.. what do you leave behind, what do you take? What can be replaced? Imagine making these decisions in a few short hours. Wendy was lucky, she only had to go through the thought process .. unfortunately hundreds of others were not lucky. They returned to lots there homes once stood upon. When it would be easiest to complain of the damage done to one's own home from the smoke, or having to now unpack all the items crammed in a vehicle in attempt to save them.. .Wendy instead showed that bad girls can have some pretty shiney halos.
The life I touch for good or ill will touch another life, and that in turn antoher, until who knows where the trembling stops or in what far place my touch will be felt. - Frederick Buechner.

I love my communities.. I'm a part of these online communities because they truly feel like my homes away from home.. (of course I could go into the pity party of being the only female in a house of chaos.. 4 boys & a DH.. crazy.. and my sanity is my online gal-pals.. )
Well a favorite 'hang' of mine is the Get It Scrapped site.. Debbie Hodge takes her community spirit to heart she knows how important the family feeling is and you know this with every post she makes. She's done well... we have a group of ladies that saw one gal having a hard time.. Celia was a little MIA for a bit and ladies from this online family got together and did something special. You can see here how gobsmacked she was The girl who orchastrated this is an amazing gal who has reached out to me a time or two when I needed a pat on the back.. so please visit her site and tell her how cool she here or look at her stuff she makes here at her etsy shop. You wont be disappointed she is a wonderful person.

Yeah I’ve been MIA.. it’s been weird I have no news to share but things feel like they’ve been Cah-ra-ZY… however.. in the last few weeks .. some super fun!!
First check out the Bad Girl kits..
http://www.badgirlskits.com/kits.html
I got the main kit with the Backstage Pass add-on and was able to snag a few papers that I was DYING for from the After Hours add-on..
Now on top of that.. I’ve been shopping.. a LOT in their store.. (don’t tell Tony) and I earned a ton of points and because of that.. I won this prize (scroll down to the second photo):

AND.. I won a 7gypsies prize for a scavenger hunt in the September kit.. Seriously! So that plus what I bought, plus the October kit will be hitting my door soon and wowza..
I’m slowly chugging away at my special scrappy space.. I’m hoping to post some awesome photos this weekend of my newly organized and super awesome clean space.. Keagan’s first birthday and my big honkin’ huge box of badness!

This is a photo from a roadtrip with the kids. We are from michigan and even though our little rural town back tehre was called 'cowtown' this was a sight we'd never seen. Cows just roam wild up over the street here in Nevada (obviously not in the towns). There are a ton of accidents and warnings that "cows & cars don't mix".. evidence on the street in this photo.. it was just an odd thing to me to see this big bull walking across as if he owned the road.. and let's face it.. he did.. LOL
I love these kits

I’m really digging kits from Bad Girls right now.. the romantic feel they have.. here’s a LO I did from one of those kits for my class at Debbie Hodge’s site, Scrap Yourself.
This is from the lesson on origins.
Journaling in the frame reads: My GPA was 3.79 in high school, I went to college (4.0 there), I waited until I was 23 to have children, but growing up I still heard them say I was…..
