catching up.. CHA and more..

it's time for CHA and Ben and I are off to attend the CHAW 2008 show. To view all of the products manufactures have in store, so we can purchase them for our kit club.

We are excited to see all the new stuff and to have some alone time (I never complain about that! LOL).  Sorry I have been MIA again.. it was crunch time for Scarlet Lime, plus getting ready for 2 months of kits in advance, so we could be prepared to go and "buy" what we need at CHA.. has been crazy around here! Plus kids stuff like BB games as usual, keeps us busy too.

Saturday we watched the funeral of President Gordon B. Hinkley. Thanks Donna for sending me this link. I enjoyed watching it, though it made me cry.  I was a mess all day Saturday.. as I truly loved our Prophet of the  church. I couldn't stop crying all day long.. I know he is in a much better place, with his wife.. but it's sad to have him gone.  He was a rock for me and my testimony during the last 15 years and I will miss hearing his sweet voice and gentle words. There were so many times his simply kind words pulled me through difficult times in my life. He will always be a huge inspiration to me. Just wanted to pay tribute to him and what a wonderful person he was.

I  also wanted to post on here really quick about a really COOL benefit going on for a daughter of a fellow scrapbooker in the UK. You can read more about her story below, but I hope we all can pitch in a bit. I know a little will go a LONG way and it's for a GREAT cause!

thank you for your support Christy, what a thoughtful person you are.
So sad to hear your faith had to suffer the death of President Hinckley. Im not LDS but I understand how much of a presence he had in so many lives :)
