I know that I had high plans on catching up on my reading this past week…Did I do it? Nope. BUT — I am refreshed – mentally at least. I have a new appreciation for God’s beauty around me.

Do you want to hear a funny thing? Well, even if you don’t want to know, I am going to tell you. The second day I wasn’t blogging, my Sweetheart asked me if I ‘broke’ my blog…Hm, that got me thinking–do I really spend that much time blogging if my Sweetheart notices the time I spend doing other things 😮 .

That brings me back to Christine’s “30-Day-Challenge“. I never shared my conclusion with you. I prayed for my husband–that is a good thing. I also realized that my body-language is a real problem. My Sweetheart told me that when I ride in the passenger seat of his truck, I sometimes flinch–flinch when someone comes too close to us. I paid more attention to my reaction for the rest of the ride. That night I realized that I do the same flinching when I drive-yikes. I even close my eyes half way when I see someone merging into traffic and I believe it is way to close for comfort…So, need to work on my body language and facial expressions, thats for sure!
My communication with my husband has improved – I tell him when something is not right, and when his words sting a little…I have to say, Christine’s challenge was a huge eyeopener to me. Thank you Christine.

Well, as mentioned above, I didn’t catch up on my reading, but I kept busy with things that I wanted to do for a long time–learn more about Photoshop CS2. I realized that I only know about 10% of what I can do with that program – oh my! I made some LO’s this past week (I show you one in a minute 😛 )and I learned some neat things …
I learned how to create a background from my own photography, how to create my own brushes (thank you, Stephanie). Currently I am working on making Scripture passage brushes (thank you Miss Mint for inspiring me to make word brushes).

Oh, and I listened to the book of Daniel last week. What an incredible book. I think I have to dig out my study material I worked through several years ago. What really struck me was the prayer Daniel prayed in Chapter 9. What if we were to pray for our nation the same way? Wonder what would happen…

I have so much to share with you all, but I think I have already rambled enough today…And Michelle; your purse is finally on its way – I am so sorry about that. I kept forgetting to take it with me to work to mail it. You should have it this week. Next time I have a purse give away, I have Leigh send it out–she is much better with the mailing than I am…

Almost forgot. Here is one of my LO I did last week:

Well, that is it for today–I am thrilled that you stopped by. Be blessed today and as always…
