Taking joy in the little things


So it may not sound like anything too big, but yesterday I got one of the best surprises at my doorstep! You see this weekend while cleaning out my craft room to make room for JR's office to join me, I came across some pictures I had printed off to put in Griffin's scrapbook. Well of course I knew I would finally have time to do that once I was out of work and so that made me excited. Well just the night before JR and I had sat down to do our budget and it occurred to me that I may not be able to just spend money freely on scrapbooking as I had in the past (can I get an amen that it is a bit expensive!) Anyways I just sat the pictures aside and was okay that I may just have to put them in a photo album for now. Well yesterday when the mail ran I was pleasantly surprised to get a package in the mail from one of my sweet friend's mothers. I wont say any names but I know she reads my blog and she knows who she is :) Anyways sure enough I opened the package and it was a baby blue scarpbook and 2 sets of paper and stickers for a baby scrapbook. I immediately teared up and all I could do was say, Thank you God! I know that she had no idea how much this gift would bless me and how it came at the perfect time! But I do know that she also knows God provides in myserious ways and I thank her for allowing God to bless me by using her.

Thank you my wonderful gift giver, and thank you most of all to my God who I know will always take care of me.

It's a definate Mommy-must-visit webpage! It takes a bit of time to figure out all the creative possibilities, but so worth it! Warning: it is very addictive :)
