Change

Maya Angelou says it best "If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude". I'm an odd bird, mainly because I openly welcome change in the same manner as if welcoming an old friend. Maybe it's the moving every few years that has made me so open to change.

I'm looking forward to the big move and trusting all of our belongings, household goods and my scrapbooking, stamping and quilting supplies doesn't give me the pain in my stomach that it used to. I tell myself- THIS is why we have insurance on our belongings, to rid ourselves of these kinds of stresses- things we have no control over.

Change is good- and to be better adapt in my new environment I joined a scrapbooking group in the UK called UK Scrappers . They are a lively energetic bunch that enjoy scrapbooking and paper crafting. Me being me, I'm going to want to get together with people once we get into our new digs, and what better kinds of people to get together with that scrapbookers and quilters? They are all so openly warm and inviting. Now for me to work on finding a quilter guild to get together with :-)

The cold snap we're experiencing (again) has got me motivated in the paper crafting department! I've got my Thank You cards done, oodles of birthday cards and Thinking of You cards made. Now for me to tie some ribbon on them and file them away :-) I'm pulling out my Cricut and will cut 20 or so hearts for my Valentine Cards.

Having our house up for sale has posed a few challenges...such as quick clean up, and keeping my crafting areas clean and tidy. I'll say it out loud- I'm messy when I'm crafting. Paper snippits everywhere, I need to have the stick-vac right there in the room with me for quick clean ups.

I know that we've not been in the house all that long (will be 2 years in March) but God has a plan for us. I know that our house will sell, we've been good stewards and know that the next family to live in this hose will love it as much as we did. If you know of anyone moving to the area please direct them to seeing our lovely home.

now for me to get with getting out a suitcase and packing for my trip.
