Challenge # 17

This is a take on an idea by Nic Howard...
"Things you would miss"
There are so many precious everyday moments in our lives. Simple things that may go unnoticed. Take a

minute to see what that may be in your life.
Make a

page to document one of those special everyday moments.
Entries are due May 29th!
Leave a link to your layout in the comments!
Have FUN!

A Prayer Request...

We are very sad to let you all know that our creative team member Niki may not be around much these days.

On Tuesday April 30th her daughter Ellie was diagnosed with a diffusely infiltrative brain stem glioma. Ellie spent three days in the hospital with mom and dad while meeting with several specialist in preparation for the radiation that is to start on Monday May 5th. A website has been created by Pat and Niki so that you may follow them as they embark on this horrendous and difficult journey.

Please keep them in your thoughts & prayers and pray for Ellie that God heals her.

We love Niki & hope that all of you that visit our blog will join us in supporting her through this difficult time.

Thank you,
Laura & Gabi

Check this out...Gabi & Laura were visiting their local scrapbook store. (If you are ever in the New Jersey area, be sure to check out Scrapbooking Moments in Time. It is a fabulous store with a friendly & helpful staff. Click on there name & visit their website. If you stop in be sure to tell them we sent you.) While they were there...Pat, the owner, was showing us all her new inventory & this cute little card she had made. We thought is was a perfect example of another twist on the paper piecing idea. The little bird is put together with pieces of ribbon.

sorry the picture was taken on Laura's cell phone.
How cool is that??
