The Therapy Continues

Yesterday evening my grandmother went home to be with the Lord. I imagine her radiant and dancing with Jesus, along with family and friends who arrived before her. Our last visit with her was on Christmas Day and she was happy. She was wearing a red sweater and her hair had been done, her signature long braids. Her "baby" was home for Christmas and the gold lights that Jay had gotten for her were shining. She may have had trouble earlier in the day recognizing some of her great grandchildren, but she recognized my boys!

For months I felt she'd go home to the Lord when my uncle Jeff and cousin Jerry went home after Christmas. I didn't know it would be so sudden, without any warning. That's probably best - I can't imagine saying goodbye, knowing it was the end. I wish my cousin Mike and his family could have come home for Christmas too. That day I didn't think about it possibly being my last day to give her a hug and a kiss - if I had, I would have lingered a little longer. Our last few visits Emery would stand behind Grandmommy with his hand on her shoulder, giving her a little massage - sweet and comforting. No one in the nursing home knew that she was near the end yesterday. My dad was by her side when she breathed her last breath and his sisters had been there as well. While I cry, I praise the Lord.

Grandmommy donated her body to my Alma Mater, Wright State University for research. A memorial service is being planned.

Here is a layout of my "baby" - creating it was my therapy for the morning as I remembered how Grandmommy looked at Marly and said his name on Christmas Day!

Paper from Moon is Star by New Life Dreams (darkened). Frippery by TADA. Fonts are Edmunds (with MY glitter styles, from Branching Out mega kit by Team Divine) and DJB Cinda.

On a lighter note, my star layout from yesterday was featured as "Member Layout of the Day" at Divine Digital!

I received my kit allowances from Divine Digital yesterday afternoon and I managed to crank out three layouts yesterday! Obviously it's like therapy for me! Today we should find out whether or not Taylor is going to come live with us. Marly is a little sad about the possibility of giving up his room, but I am trusting the Lord that he'll get us through.

The first two layouts use Sarah Barber's Shimmering Gully. The last layout uses Royanna Fritschmann's Out of this World. You can find all three of our designs at Divine Digital.

ADSR 4 - Layout #1

Here is my first layout for the Amazing Digi Scrapping Race, Season 4. It's amazing that I got this layout completed on the day that the challenge was released, given that yesterday our family had church in the morning, graduation in the afternoon and a surprise party in the evening! I couldn't sleep so I got up and scrapped! For the challenge you had to tear a photo into at least three pieces and then include journaling on your layout. The next challenge is released on Tuesday - I understand they'll get tougher!

Happy New Year, Happy Anniversary

It's hard to believe that I began selling my digital designs one whole year ago. January is going to be an extra fun month at Divine Digital! I am sponsoring the Download a Day with Creations by Rachael for the first half of January. Our kit is called "Wild Thing". It's a non-traditional Valentine kit for boys, girls, teens or adults featuring some animal prints, rock & roll and a whole lot of love! I hope it makes your heart sing!

There is a coordinating "Wild Thing" alpha that I put up in my boutique today.

My long awaited "Snow Kissed" kit hit my boutique today as well.

I am making room for new designs and am offering a number of special deals this month. You will find some freebies in my boutique - my original two creations that made me fall in love with designing, "Festival Fractals" and "Ocean Breezes" plus "Christmas Treats". There is the opportunity to pick up my first five kits for less than $1.00 each! Many other kits and commercial use products are value priced at $2.00. Get them now because come February many of them will never be seen again!

I am hosting the One Piece a Day challenge January 19th - 25th - be sure to join in the fun!

Finally, I have a blog freebie for you! These glitter layer styles coordinate with my "Snow Kissed" kit.
