~Wow it's all coming together so fast!~

Good morning once again!
So many things happening this week!I watched TV the other day and they were getting personal with
a contestant on the Biggest Loser
Well, it really struck home with me.
Some very personal issues came out including why I gained weight and
what was that pivotal moment that really changed me and changed
my life. And I have to say it is NOT pretty, it's really horrible in fact.
So horrible I could not quite get it all out on paper, but I was able to get
some of it out on paper, and here it is.
I LOVE Collage Press and their papers just make me want to
scrap from AM to PM!
The journaling (in case you cannot read my scribble LOL) says:
I bake, I craft, I care, I try....but still I have those days where I totally
feel all the pain, guilt and shame of allowing myself to stay in an abusive relationship
allowing myself to get all messed up, messing my body up
changing my life forever because I was not strong enough to get
away from you to save me or my baby.

Do I feel better after scrapping that? NO LOL but I guess it is a step.

Now on to prettier things!
Take a peek at our new car, ok ok, it's not NEW
and it's in our budget, but it is our second car for the first time
in over 2 years! I am so happy.
This will be hubby's little gas saver for work, and I will have the van to run
the kids to and from school/sports/meetings...etc...
This is going to be a real time and frustration saver!

Now y'all know I will be offline this weekend for sure!
And unpacking next week...so the blogging will be scarce for a couple days...
be sure to check out Purple Cows today!
I believe they are featuring a project I did and a how to sheet!
~Have a great Thursday!~
