It is not the destination, it is the journey.

So no one wants to die, am I right? But that is the ultimate destination of this journey. I am secure in the knowledge that I will go to heaven and see my daddy and all my friends and relatives that have gone before me. That does not mean I can not enjoy each and every moment that happens during this incredible journey we call life.

Life is an event full of moments.

I am not an event scrapper. I do not enjoy scrapping birthdays, weddings, anniversaries or fancy trips. That is what most people expect to see and I do scrap them. But the things that make me happy to scrap are the tidbits of life that happen between these big events. Noah wrapped in the quilt I made him. Ariana playing with the cat(s). Hal sticking his tongue out at me because he's dirty from work and I thought it was funny. He keeps me well. In fact he said the reason I scrap is because I have nothing better to do! Not true. Anyone who lives the life of a stay at home mom knows how much is actually done by the mom staying at home. And he knows that and loves me for the job I do.

I just want to make pretty pages.

This is the bottom line. I want to take pictures that remind me of those moments that make my heart sing. And then I want to make a pretty page to remember that moment. Ah. Just the thought makes me happy.
