Scrappy: Munich Snapshots

Next Saturday, May 8th, I leave for a two week trip to Bolivia. It will be a service-learning experience and I'm sure that I will learn so much while I'm there. Traveling is something that I've talked about before, but I feel that traveling and experiencing other cultures is one of the best ways to know yourself and others in a more meaningful way.
The only problem is my fear of flying. I always get nervous about two weeks out from a trip that requires air travel and this upcoming trip was no exception. I've had a couple of panic attacks just thinking about the flying, but last night I had a dream and I am much calmer already. I don't remember all of the dream or have any clue why or how I had this dream, but I'm so thankful for it and the peace that I feel.

This layout was created with an older kit from My Scrapbook Nook a couple of weekends ago when they had a fabulous crop! The challenge was to scrap a photo taken outdoors and I really love this picture. It was taken while I was in Munich a couple of summers ago and was having the time of my life! This picture reminds me that flying is worth the adventure on the other end of the flight.




Do you have any fears? Or have you had a fear that you've overcome?
How do you handle situations that you are afraid of?

Scrappy: Long Distance Relationship

Leigh and I were in charge if this week's challenge at Handmade Love. The challenge we issued was to create a card AND a layout using five specific items.

Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock, October Afternoon paper, alpha stickers,

The journaling on the picture reads: Even though the drive is not that bad I wish we were in the same place. We've been in a long distance relationship for 15 months and I look forward to the time when we can really be together.

I know that you are probably sick of hearing me gab on about my relationship, so I promise it will be back to me for the next layout!

December Daily-Catching Up!

I had such a wonderful weekend full of friends and fun!

On Friday evening I shared a delicious meal with my co-workers and then drove to TN to see Ry. I went ahead and gave him his birthday present early since we were going away for the weekend and I wouldn't be there for his actual birthday. (Happy Birthday Ry!!!)



On Saturday we had SNOW (yay!) and toured the Biltmore Estate, then met up with some friends and had dinner.



Sunday I went to church with Libbie. Sunday school was wonderful, as was the choir and message during the service! Then we celebrated Libbie's life and a wonderful accomplishment!

Last night was our dress rehearsal for tonight's Chamber Singers concert- it went well and I'm excited for the concert tonight!



So now I'm all caught up on my December Daily (except December 3rd- which was a day for cleaning) and ready to work on some other projects alongside my DD!

October Afternoon

I received my August Kit the other day and I was very happy when I opened the box! It is a vacationed themed kit, but is very versatile!! With this layout, I cut the luggage off of the car and trimmed down some numbers to turn it into a race car! I'm going to try and save some of this paper (if I can!!!) for when Ryan and I go to the truck race in Bristol on the 19th!!

This picture is from MY first trip to the race track. I was spoiled with free tickets in a booth, but next time I will be out in the open with noise and smoke and beer cups. *insert redneck Rachel* YeeeHAW!
