INSPIRATION

I am headed to Provo this morning to help my daughter clean her dorm. Since she broke her foot, I knew it would be really hard for her to clean and do her final exams. I am so thankful for the opportunity to go and help her. I think it helped me push through a crazy hard boot camp session this morning. 

I am so tired that I am trying to take 1 hour naps each day. Crazy huh? Today that is not an option. I will be cleaning, stopping by the Creating Keepsakes office to drop off "something" and talk to my friends, and then we have a baseball game and guitar lessons. I love being busy and know to appreciate each day. Our kids grow up so fast! 

We have so many BLESSINGS happening in our family. Matt and Kayla are expecting a baby in December. Matt is finishing his first year in the business program at BYU. Also, Taylor and Spencer are signing papers this week to own their own home. (well, it's a condo) I am so happy for them! I had a phone conversation with Taylor last night. My baby is now buying her own place. I can't believe how driven and how hard they have worked to accomplish this goal. As a young married couple, they saved and saved to be able to purchase a home without any help from their parents. Spencer goes to college and works part time. I am proud of them! 

 Now... for some inspiration- I love TIMELESS. That is what I wanted to name this line because it truly is a line that is about LOVE...and it never ending..hence, I named it TIMELESS-

Cute mini book album made by Cheri Piles using the Timeless Collection.

Cheri loves mini albums and was very excited to pair up the "TIMELESS" & "BLINGAGE" collections with the 8x8 YOUR STORY book. She created each page using her ELEGANT EDGES Cricut Expression Cartridge. She was also able to create matching borders, frames and Silhouettes using the same cartridge. The Elegant Edges cartridge features a "Book Template" which is what drew her to create this mini album.  To see more of her work visit her blog at http://Cherinspirations.blogspot.com
