Scrap stuff...

i met with my "local"(ok saskatoon is my local) scrapbook store (LSS) owner, RALNA yesterday, and i am SO excited to say that i will be teaching a class at JUST SCRAP IT in saskatoon on Nov 3/4. i am so thrilled! it's been such a long time since i taught scrapbooking! far too long. and we are going to do something real simple but GREAT! thank you INGRID for your lovely letter today. i really appreciate it so much. GREAT to hear from you and i will write back soon... i had a little cold this weekend and now (10:18pm MST) i am feeling the best in 3 days. thanking echinacea and vit c (and God of course) that it didn't go further and that my recovery is fast. i tell you... that combination works.

just if you wondered, my birthday is is in June and back then a few peas made me some cards that i only received a while ago and i am posting them now. i still have one left to do and will post it in the next day or so (you see, my scanner is not yet connected to my new apple). i got ADOBE elements for mac on friday but i first have to finish my commission and THEN i will play. Question: why do we always wait till the last moment before we do stuff. Answer: i wish i knew.

i got 3 CD's yesterday at parables. the first one is my fav and i posted about them yesterday: Leeland. WOW, awesome music. the i also LOVED Chris Tomlin. really great and uplifting. one of my favorite songs ever is OMD's Forever live and die and i think with Leeland that sound is captured for me. Ok, enough ramblings for one night. good night with my personal favorite scripture out of Habakkuk3:19 (amplified) The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!

and i can't upload e-sword or listen to Joyce yet. BUT other than that... i am in heaven. oh, and the printer is not working yet. and i don't have PSElements for mac (yet)... i am seeing blue and are very happy about it. i just can't seem to walk away from this MAC and i have. so. much. work. to. do. this card comes from Paula. Thanks Paula!! Visit her gallery here i love this card!!

if you want to have a giggle and a snort, read Tiffany's blog. there is always something there that makes me laugh, this time i tagged her and her answers are hilarious. really. what i am working on at the moment? i working on a commissioned birthday album for someone (no, Ryna, sorry not for you!) and i want to be done by the end of the month (YES! that's only a few days away!- i said i have. so. much. work. to. do.)

just before i leave, let me write this for you. i read it the other night and now i have a new favorite verse (i know this change hourly!!) Lamentation 3 somewhere says: I'll never forget the trouble, the utter lostness, the taste of ashes, the poison I've swallowed. I remember it all—oh, how well I remember— the feeling of hitting the bottom. But there's one other thing I remember, and remembering, I keep a grip on hope: God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness! I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left.

YES! love this!
heart and soul,
Wilna

roxanne's card

today's cards comes (with love) from Roxanne. truly one of my favorite peas. she is SUCH a talented scrapbooker. check out her gallery HERE. she's considering to start blogging... come on girl! i would love your blog!!! just DO it!
we had a great weekend. and now that it's monday morning, i am thinking of all the things that i need to do this week. the most important thing is i am busy with an album project for someone. getting on with it this week. and i got another RAK in the mail!!! Norma!!!! thanks SO much. i love it and appreciate it!! i *heart* surprises. she send me a RAK because i "helped" her with her blog banner. i gave her some advise but it know it was her own cleverness that figured it out.

let me share something with you that i need for myself. yesterday i came across this Word in the message: Luk 18:26 "Then who has any chance at all?" the others asked. Luk 18:27 "No chance at all," Jesus said, "if you think you can pull it off by yourself. Every chance in the world if you trust God to do it." it is referring to the rich young man who didn't want to sell his stuff. but God spoke to my heart about verse 27... and life. you know, the world teaches that if you don't stress and sweat and strive you won't get "it" (whatever "it" might be for you). but God teaches: let it go, give it to me, make it my worry not yours, let it go, let me do it, just trust me, have faith in me, walk with me, work with me.

isn't it GREAT and GOOD news?
yea, thought so
love and a kiss
