This little girl has stolen my heart. I miss her so much because we are hours apart. She doesn't know it yet but she is #5 in our five living generations. She has a Nana, a Mimi, a Memaw, and her Daddy...all one one side of the family, still living. Her Nana is 87 years old and in love with this bright eyed bundle of Joy! Not to mention the rest of us who are totally captured by her smile.

Blogging.. what a name for sharing your thoughts with others.

A little about me...I scrapbook for fun and relaxation. Focusing on a project takes my mind off of other things and is a stress reliever for me. I have about 7 scrapbooks so far, three of them busting at the seams. I am starting a scrapbooking crop at church as a way for the ladies to get to know each other and have some time to get out of the house, relax and share with each other.

I love church and worshiping the Lord. Praise and worship is my favorite and I do like some southern gospel music as well.

I am on a "diet" at the moment, using the diabetic guidelines to lose some weight and become more healthy. I have a pacemaker, or a spark-plug as one of our friends call it, because my heart didn't beat fast enough. I am looking for recipes that are low in carbs and sugar so I don't grow tired of the same old thing every day.

I read Christian fiction books, especially suspense novels. Dee Henderson, Karen Kingsbury, and Kathy Herman are some of my favorite authors,just to name a few.

I have a wonderful husband, a beautiful grandbaby and a very special family. Our poodle doesn't know she is a dog, she is so smart and she loves me unconditionally.

Things aren't perfect in my life but God is good. He gives me Beauty for Ashes and the Oil of Joy for mourning.
