My dogs are barkin!

Oh man! am I ever tuckered out! Went to JoAnn Fabric's, Guitar Shop (for my son's birthday present), Michael's, Wal-mart and Aldi's Food, plus we ate at Subway...just got groceries carried in, put away, and I'm sooo tired! I did not sleep a wink last night and night before only 4 hrs. I can never sleep it seems! :(
I was looking for Easter Paper's and Cardstock, didn't find exactly what I had pictured in my head, but I did get some beautiful papers. I also found some awesome papers for the Paris Images :O) Hopefully, I won't be too tired after while and make a card, we will see...had to sit down and take a break. I use to love to go shopping but anymore, it wears me out, and everything I have aches afterwards....don't like this getting old thing!
I guess that's why I'd rather just shop online!
Hope you are all having a great Saturday...!!! Hugs! Leah Ann

Magnolia's Wild Tilda I Love U Valentine Card

Magnolia's Wild Tilda "I LOVE U"
 Here is the card I made for my hubby for Valentine's Day.
I usually make red and black and decided to do it different this year!

 Front

 Base

 Close up...still getting too much light when I take the photo's at night with my light box...I will eventually get it figured out :O)

I made two tags for the inside: 1 has our song on it "Keeper of the Stars"
The other one is "Blind Date" and the day we first met on that date :O)
I put what I wanted to say above it, but that's just for him, so I didn't post it.

My Valentine Stood in Line for an hour :O)

My hubby, my valentine, stood in line for over an hour at Wal-Mart this morning to get Twilight Breaking Dawn Part 1 for me. That's what I asked for, for Valentine's Day. What a sweetie! Going to watch it after while. I have all of them so far! I don't go to the movies, once in a blue, blue moon to watch them because it's too dog gone expensive, and I'd rather sit home, with my Diet Pepsi, Popcorn and a comfy couch to watch my movies! Thanks! "Shamy" your the greatest!!! "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Sugar is Sweet and I LOVE YOU!!!

Pay it Forward!

Oh how the Lord has blessed me! I always want to give God the praise for the blessings in my life. It only takes a few minutes, and I appreciate what God has done for me :O)
If we pay it forward, and help others, God in returns blesses us! I know people think why should I help that person, because, that's what Jesus wants us to do. If someone hadn't paid it forward for me, I would be no where.
I think so many times a lot of us think of ourselves only! Doesn't it make you feel good to help someone else. I don't mean handing everything to them, I mean giving them the tools to do so.
I think of Easter coming up, and a lot of folks only think of God at that time of year. They feel good doing so, but don't stop to think, if I do this all the time, how good I would feel.
We don't get everything we want, but our needs are supplied, and sometimes I've got to say, He supplies my wants, isn't God good!
I've been raised since a young child to put my faith in him. I talk to him everyday sometimes all day long :O) I don't mean I say out loud or talk out loud, but in my mind and thoughts he is always there, and I know from experience over the years that he hears my prayers.
I know when I was going through a lot a woman told me to get a journal and write down my blessings and my needs and the things that bothered me. Well I did that, and then when I would go back through my journal I could actually write PRAYER ANSWERED...now if that doesn't make a believer out of you, nothing will.
Just thankful today, and wanted to share some of my thoughts!
