We were asked to create two projects that showcased our blessingS. I have been blessed in so many ways, here is what I came up with.
My family is my biggest blessing! I am grateful every day for my husband and my babies, who aren't really babies any more - sigh... I found this frame at Walmart, and liked the shape and design. I had some great pictures of my babies, and wanted to showcase them in a special way, this frame seemed perfect. I used my Lyrical Letters, Opposites Attract and Storybook cartridges, to create some simple embellishments, to make this frame the perfect gift for my DH. He loves it :)
So, on to project number two. My family has a special spot that we love to visit called White Point Beach. We have gone many times over the years, and go every year for Thanksgiving. My Mum and Dad come with us, we bring our dogs and enjoy 3 days and nights of peace and serenity on the ocean.
It may seem an odd choice for this blog hop, but let me explain how this showcases my blessings. White Point reminds me about the power and strength of the ocean, and nature. To hear the Atlantic crashing on rocks outside you door each morning brings you as close to God's majesty as I think you can be. I am there with my family, my greatest blessing - my parents who put up with me through my dark and difficult years, and with whom I am now very close. My husband who shows me every day how much he loves me and my children who are the lights of my life. We enjoy a peaceful break from our hectic and chaotic lives, and are lucky to have good jobs that allow us to indulge in this amazing weekend, with fabulous food, and great companionship. Every one of those, a blessing.
This layout is all made with Close to My Heart papers, I inked the paper and embellishments. I cut the title on my Cricut from my Home Accents cartridge, and used one of the CTMH sketch books as my inspiration.
