Vacation layouts:Fishing

As some of you many already know, we recently went on vacation. I have slowly but surely been working on getting our photos(over 200) scrapped. I chose to do an 8x8 vacation theme album and purchased a vacation theme pack of papers to aid in quicker and cooridinated layouts.

I asked the girls their favorite part about vacation and they all said "Fishing!". Who would have guessed? So, I have decided to share our fishing layouts with you first. Although it was their favorite, there wasn't much to say about it, so not much journaling. I hope you enjoy them!

Journaling reads: "Once again the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish." Matthew 13;47

I apologize for the blurry pictures, need to get the scanner working! More vacation layouts to come...

Mom

“Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her” Proverbs 31:28

As a wife and mother, I know this is one verse I strive to work towards everyday! Can you imagine it?

This time of year I think about my mother and the lessons she has taught me as a child. Unfortunately, now as an adult we don't spend much quality time together. Although we are only 30 minutes apart, we hardly have time to see other. We both have hectic and opposite schedules and can never seem to coordinate. I know I need to make more of a committment, but yet I don't. After Easter, I see more clearly now how our relationship is strained over my committment to Christ. Although my mom is a believer, she doesn't have a relationship with Christ that she needs. I pray in time, her relationship with me and Christ will be strengthened!

I ordered some cute mini frame pins for a special layout for my mom. But wouldn't you know they are backordered! I hope to receive them soon and share a layout here with you.

Thanks for reading!
