Seems Like Forever...

Hello, friends:}

I haven't been sharing any of my publications with you-- and I apologize! I have been so busy that I just  forget when the magazines come out or what creation was published where! I really need to update my resume too! I have had at least 20 new publications since the last entry! 

The only reason I'm sharing this one today is that I actually wrote down the publication date in my calendar! LOL! HOOOOOOOORAY:) 

Be sure to stop by the Moxie Fab and Paper Crafts blogs to check out more inspiration, challenges, and giveaways (you could win this mag!)!!

I wasn't even going to submit to this call-- no time! But I decided to send in one design. I love this card. I used so many of my favorite products and techniques! 
I only have one card in this magazine-- I'm lucky I even have that! Submitting isn't the same anymore... and I just don't have time. I wish I did have more time, but I know that submitting can consume me. I was spending more time creating instead of on things that "matter". 

For about a year and a half, I've decided that I wanted to spend more time with my husband and God. I don't regret that decision one bit-- the memories I've made with Trav mean so much to me. And God has really shown me what I need to work on, as well as His amazing love! Those times are the best! So if I don't get published again... I'm ok with that:) I know that maybe one day I will be the featured designer for God's Craft Magazine in Heaven (ok... I can't guarantee God has a magazine in Heaven... but I know that He is pleased with my decision and that He loves all my creations. That's worth more to me than anything!). Best decision I've made since I left teaching-- God and Trav matter most in my life right now. Why wouldn't I spend more time with them?!

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:2-3

(sigh). I'm not sure why I shared that last bit... I guess I thought I needed to explain my absence sometimes on the blog and in print (meaning magazines).

That's it for me today! I appreciate you stopping by and all of your love and support! THANK YOU sooooooo much for following me! Be blessed:}
