I made this Glittery GREEN card yesterday and I have to say I LOVE
Lime Green stickles! hehehe
Lime Green stickles! hehehe
I will share a little story about this LO I made this weekend.I was making the LO and I cried almost the entire time
nothing would sit perfectly and the whole day one
nagging question was in my mind.
WHAT IS HER NAME?
I finally gave up and decided to journal it that way.
I remember this day like it was yesterday, I can remember the feeling.
I remember thinking to myself on this day in February.
Feb. 9th 1998 to be exact, I remember thinking,
I am happy, for the first time in years, I am happy.
I am smiling and having fun and I am happy.
That may not sound very unusual but if you knew the story behind it.
It was right at the end of a 7 year relationship with my ex husband.
I had just gotten out of the hospital I was in for weeks.
Several weeks earlier Bill had thrown me into the bathtub,
knocking me unconscious, then he drug me into the bedroom and
proceeded to beat me so badly he broke
(well he dislocated) pieces in my back in 3 places.
As I laid on the floor, he kicked me for so long
it took me about 3 months to walk again.
But I remember this day....because...I felt happy and grateful to be alive.
This was an important turning point for me.
I left Bill a few weeks later for good.
So always remember, while she may not remember your name, that one day that you spend with a friend, could make the biggest difference in her life and you may never know it.
I may never remember her name but she helped change my life.
