I came across this challenge on a blog:
http://lisajobaker.com/2012/06/five-minute-friday-dance/
Not sure I did it right, but it was interesting. This is what came out.. rules are not to edit~ so this is it!
Dance
When Holly was a baby I would swoop her in my arms and play the music and dance. We danced for 5 years, till she went to dance with Jesus and my music stopped.
When Krista was a baby I swooped her in my arms and we danced. We dance still, 30 years later. Joyful. Sad. Waltz. as the music of life plays, we dance. As the month cycles, we dance. With new puppies and birthdays and death we dance.
Sometimes she leads, sometimes I lead, always we are there to hold each other up as the music changes and cycles.
Stop
Have a great day!

I MissYou, Katie
OK, time does fly. So here I am again.. long break..
So, what brought me out of my silence? So many of those in my craft world know of Katie, the beautiful, amazing Katie. Katie has been on my mind so much lately, her precious boys and husband always in my prayers. Her brave journey, just so very short, from a stomach ache to diagnosis and then, she was gone. Too young, too brave and too amazing, but yet true. I know God is sovereign, I trust Him and love Him, but will not pretend to understand or venture an answer.
I have been working through the Jessica Sprague Photoshop Friday classes. This week the template just reminded me of Katie, so several days ago I completed it.
The decision to post was confirmed by a visit to Jak Heaths site, where I was reminded that it is Katie's birthday. No wonder Kevin, Will, Hunter and Nate have been so close in my prayers, the thoughts of Katie so strong.
Here are the links for Jak Heath: http://www.jakheath.com
and
Here is link for Jessica Sprague: http://www.jessicasprague.com/
Here is a link for the digital area of my Stampin' Up site. The paper is now discontinued, but there are a lot of other very pretty choices for immediate download if you care to check it out. I did use Photoshop Elements for the layout,
not SU software. http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/CategoryPage.aspx?categoryid=501
Most important, pray for those close to Katie today. What a blessing she has been to so many of us from a distance, how those who knew her in real life must feel the loss. Tell those around you how much you love them, live life full today. Tomorrow we will look back and wonder where the day went.. it was here just a minute ago.

A Great Sale
One of my biggest secrets is that I am a Stampin' Up Associate! I joined a year ago to get the items I "needed" for the discount.. Frugal is my name, Saving money is my game!
I really like every Stampin' Up item I've bought. One year after joining I've noticed that a funny thing is happening..I actually am spending less then I did when taking my 50% coupons and wandering store isles buying stuff that is now filling up my craft room. I am also enjoying crafting more since everything is so easy to coordinate and has a purpose.
Well, here is a way to save money for you: a sale on Stampin' Up. Check it out.
Also, the digital punch shapes and brushes and papers download instantly in png format, they can be used in any program that uses png files! What I have done is purchased the punch files, saved as jpegs, pixel trace in MTC, and cut away in all sizes. Print and Cut adds the option of filling shapes with the Stampin' Up paper, and make all sorts of options open to you!
Right now, there are bonus rewards for hosting a get together, (or buying a large order).. you can actually earn a free big shot plus lots of other goodies. Check out my site, give a call if you are interested so I can help maximize your benefits!
