MY GRAFICO CHALLENGE #76

Thank You for visiting my blog for another My Grafico Challenge. I wasn't sure if I was going to get my project done for this week. After getting things done last Wednesday I went to print some more things to get some other projects done. My husband said he would print them out for me just let him know what to print. So I had everything ready and he takes the computer and goes to print. He yells at me and wants to know if I heard my cat vomiting. I have 4 cats but this one named Feather has stomach issues and unfortunately vomits at least once a day. Doctors have tried to figure it out but so far no one has. Well I didn't hear him but he decided to vomit in my printer and fried the board. Now I need a new printer. I have to wait for the next check to get one. My husband did purchase me one and it's so great. It's WiFi and I can be in one room and print my project in the other room. I don't have to carry my laptop everywhere with me now. So that's my bad luck story of the week. Enough about my life let's get to this week's challenge that you are going to love.

The challenge this week is Go Girly. We worked with Digital Stamps and Digital Paper. The Stamps are Unicorns and Hearts. How could you not get an idea for a girly project. This week you could make a card, scrapbook layout or any altered item to use for the challenge. Just make sure you use one of the My Grafico FREEBIES on your project. Here's where you need to go to grab your freebie: http://www.mygrafico.com/freebies.


Here's a picture of the Digital Stamps that are designed by Blackleaf Studios. The Digital Papers were designed by Stockberry Studio named Stick Figure Fairies.

Hello Everyone and Thank You for visiting my blog for the new My Grafico Challenge. It seems the closer we get to Christmas the faster time flys. It felt like I was just making last week's card and now I'm doing the next in the same day. I have been coming up with some ideas for Christmas Cards and Layouts but I just don't know when I'm going to fit them in my scheldule. At least I do make a sketch of my ideas so I don't forget it later. There are even some sketches that I have clipped the picture to so I know I am going to use it with that sketch. Saves alot of time in the long run. There's my little tip of the week for you. Hope you can find it useful to you. Now let's get to the challenge.

The challenge this week is anything goes. We worked with Autumn Tags, Frames and Borders. So this week you could make a card, scrapbook layout or any altered item to use for the challenge.

30 DAYS OF TRUTH: DAY 2

SOMETHING YOU LOVE ABOUT YOURSELF

Well, I knew I wouldn't be able to get to this 30 days of truth everyday. I'm glad that I let you all know about that in advance. There are just days that you have your list of things to do today ready in hand and by time the evening comes you may have only half of the list done. This past week my husband was home more then usual and there went my peace time to do my own things. I love him to pieces but it's hard to do things when he is around.

So, I had time one day to do my next question and I was excited until I seen what the question was. This took me awhile to think about. When you have major depression you don't love anything about yourself. At least I don't. Depression has made my life miserable making me not wanting to like myself. I have been dealing with it for so long that loving anything about me just doesn't make sense.

Well, I thought back to my years before the depression and remembered one thing that I did love about myself and so did many others. I was a very strong person who did not let anyone get under my skin. Say all they wanted about me but I wouldn't let it affect me at all. I was happy and did everything I wanted to do. I know if I was strong like that now I wouldn't be suffering from depression today. I don't know how I went from a very strong upbeat person to someone who hates to leave her house for anything.

I guess I would have to say that I loved something about myself way back when. Maybe one of these days with the medication and counseling I will become that strong willed person again. I just have to take each day at a time.

Thanks for reading and until next time!!

He received so many gifts and when it came to the cake he didn't want anything to do with it. So, Daddy helped him with it and Daddy wore more then Hayden. The icing did stain Hayden's skin. I also got to see him walk this weekend. He sure can move along. He wore me out when he stayed with me. I would love to bottle his energy and take a little every day. LOL.
