~Totally Ticking Tuesday~

Do you ever have a LO you totally envision in your head,
then you try to create it, and it flops! HA!
Well, this is mine. I did it for an add challenge at
Dreamgirls and TallyScrappers.
But it ended up nothing like my head said.
Hey, I figure one out of every 10 LO's is not bad though
so I will suck it up and deal with it!
Lots of layers, just like me, and transparency to just like me.
Complicated and always showing through.Journaling
When I saw this ad the first thing that came to mind was
THE HIGHER THE COST THE MORE YOU LEARN
The other thing I wondered is….do you see your glass half empty or half full??
And I am not sure I can answer that.
I often wonder to myself,
Why God chose me to the child who was not only abused
but also molested and forgotten?
But then I go back to the only possible reason I can believe (or go crazy).
That He chose me because I was born strong
enough to handle it and stay focused to overcome the
pain without committing suicide or doing drugs or abusing my own children.
I won’t say thank you to God just yet, but I will hold my Faith.


Ok and today I have one more blog candy Giveaway!!
Right here, just jump right over **HERE**and leave a comment,
tell her Pinky sent ya.

Well, carry on my friends...
~Have a beautiful day~

I really like this layout. At first I didn't see the glasses...then they "popped" out at me....that was before reading.

Great layout! Love it!

I love the way it came out. But, I can totally relate to the "it's nothing like I envisioned" thing.

Lvely layout and I think a lot of people could take inspiration from you - where you have come from to what you are now. I admire you.

I had that problem with the layout I did for the punkrock scrappers challenge... it really didn't turn out anything like it did in my head. Oh well, yours looks great though!

Pinky,
I feel that God picked you because you are strong but also so you can help other people get through the healing process of what they have been through. You are a gift!
