Saturday was fantastic and I only wish that I could've stayed longer and gone to dinner with you all. I'm already looking forward to the next time we can all get together! It is truly a blessing to get to spend time with so many wonderful women and I still have a smile on my face! So glad that I got to meet you!<BR/><BR/>Julie (julie99)Celebrate Todayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01468680290021358019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-46771660159102596482007-08-27T09:15:00.000-04:002007-08-27T09:15:00.000-04:00looks like so much fun! is that pages in time in ...looks like so much fun! is that pages in time in grand rapids? if it is, i LOVE that store :)elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07944802833825921897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-19540838642842750532007-08-27T06:57:00.000-04:002007-08-27T06:57:00.000-04:00what scrap store is this? i live on the border of...what scrap store is this? i live on the border of mich and ohio and all but one of our stores have closed! :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-61805102700543267342007-08-26T21:12:00.000-04:002007-08-26T21:12:00.000-04:00:) Thanks for sharing your scraptastic self, you'r...:) Thanks for sharing your scraptastic self, you're a gem.sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15556258991377765603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-74283166251935736882007-08-26T21:07:00.000-04:002007-08-26T21:07:00.000-04:00Hey there Jody..Wanted to drop you a line telling ...Hey there Jody..<BR/>Wanted to drop you a line telling you that yesterday ROCKED.

I don't think I got to formerly meet you Saturday--I'm back on the left in grey sweatshirt--because I had to leave pretty soon after we took the photo. But I'm glad you got to come over for the crop. We'll have to do it again! <BR/>Just wanted to post though about your thoughts today. When I first started scrapbooking, it was through a friend in CM. I began to feel that spiritual connection with women as well through this craft. For a few years, I met with the same women and that grew. Then the CM seller moved and we all fell apart. It's cool that now a group has joined together again through various ways but all from SIS. Maybe this will all stick and we'll get togethat often. Who knows? In the short time I was there, even though I didn't say a lot, I listened. And I loved what I heard--encouragement, laughter, friendships beginning, oohs and aahs over pages. Very cool.<BR/>I needed to find some people who understand this side of me--the side that wants to create and remember. And I found some women that were just right. It was the highlight of my week, too.<BR/><BR/>Twila Bennett (mamat)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-3510037328959006722007-08-26T21:01:00.000-04:002007-08-26T21:01:00.000-04:00Looks like you girls had an awesome time together....Looks like you girls had an awesome time together.CyndiAKADisneyqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06739311330123997594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18733763.post-86886819027623775992007-08-26T20:26:00.000-04:002007-08-26T20:26:00.000-04:00Hi Jody,I have been a lurker on your blog for some...Hi Jody,<BR/>I have been a lurker on your blog for some time now. I can't even remember when or how I found it, but I do know, that I felt a connection immediatly. I too am from Michigan (grew up in spring lake) but now I am a southern girl. I too have a child with disabilities (I face the prospect of loosing him often), and I love the Lord with all my heart, and want to please him, and grow closer to him, and become more like him every day. I'm not quite sure why I'm writing, accept that you struck a chord tonight. <BR/>I also often question this scrappbooking passion of mine, and it's validity in my christian walk. It is always a balencing act for me to not be consumed by it. Just as I don't think it's about being happy but about being His, that another poster so aptly stated, I'm not thinking it's about memories either. I guess it was just refreshing to hear someone else temper this hobby with that question. I don't want to be distracted by something that I judge to be good, only to miss something that's better, or to forget that which is best. Thank you for putting it out there. <BR/> God bless, amy asnipAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
