Blog Template Set - Jillann's Blessings

Blog Logo Blank

Blog Background

If you want this blog background and logo set here you can download them from Tiny Pic for FREE.

The font I used here is NA_SilkFlower1.

I created the set from my add on kit to Jillann's Blessings.

So tired but so happy.

Wow look at this pretty tag I made from a template from Bits N' Bobz by LOZ. Thanks Laura for this beautiful tag and for the award. FEEL FREE TO USE IT!!!

Hi forgive me for having a white blog for a few days. I have not had time to find another picture host that will host larger images and photobucket is just not doing it for me. Maybe I will serve them myself but finding time to do it has been a big challenging lately.

Well the girls saw Twilight so they are definitely happy. I liked it too and had just finished the book anyhow.

Then they had to have new jackets since they were cold so we took them shopping...ugh...teens can shop forever and never like a thing you mention to them....

So while we were at the mall my wonderful hubby bought me a beautiful marquis anniversary ring at our favorite jewelry store. It has 7 marquis on it and it is just lovely, It is a carat total weight and really sparkly. What a wonderful surprise. It is not coming off my finger so someone will have to take the finger to get it off. LOL. I better get it one half size larger or it just may be stuck. Especially if I have a potato chip binge and my water levels get high from salt intake. I thought he was nice when he bought me my wedding ring, Holy cow that thing is 2 carats. He is spoiling me.

I had to buy a safe today since we have a new housekeeper starting and we have been robbed several times, the last girl took a cell phone and voila in 10 days we had a 500 dollar phone bill. I also had a safe stolen and sawed open(with my own saw) before by my son and nephew so this one is big and impossible to carry off. I was fortunate to get most of my jewelry back but many valuable things were lost such as my husbands military medals and a few precious items that were tiny and easy to lose. I did get most of the items back but it taught me that sometimes even family can steal.

Even your own child can steal from you which I never would have imagined in my younger years. But now I know they can. My son and nephew were mad because I exited them from my house at 18 after warning them for three months of the upcoming date and after giving them money to help with their rent and food they still were angry at me. But they refused to get up in the morning and were content with laying around all day refusing to go to college and failing to get to work on time. Quitting good jobs and not helping to pay rent. Not my problem the non-compliance was. Time to move out. Sitting on the floor throwing a fit, out partying all night long. You can't say they didn't deserve a reality check. Now they wish they had listened. They are lucky I did not press charges against them. They still love me and I still love them but my ability to deal with them has diminished, I know they have caused me a great deal of PTSD but what can I do. I just do not trust them anymore, that's all there is to it.

Well I got an award today from LOZ, I will have to get to that tomorrow. How exciting. I also have to go back and finish up one award. Then to getting some freebies posted. Bad me for taking so darn long. Hang in there while I catch up.

Love to all...and Happy Holidays. OOOppp remind me to defrost my turkey starting tomorrow.

Accepting Jillann's Blessing Add On Donations

Hey friends....

How are you all this fine holiday season.

I am just waiting for the snow. It isn't here yet but it sure is cold enough.

I am trying to get a housekeeper on board so I can keep up with my busy life. I seem to be drowning in housework. I think I never ever stop doing laundry and I think I do at least 10 loads a day no kidding. I wish I had less laundry but I am glad I do have the beautiful children who make it all. I hope I can find someone reasonable for at least 4 times a month. I cleaned all day yesterday then most of today and I am still not done.

I can only say I have been so tired. I had a big scare with some tissue that looked cancerous in my breast. I had to go have extra scans done and I was a wreck for several days until I found out the tissue looked non-cancerous. I now have to have a mammogram done every 6 months. I am sure that means I am high risk for breast cancer now. If it does happen I am just gonna get them taken completely off and I will have my breasts redone by dr. 90210. lol. He rocks. My husband better save up if he wants me to have nice breasts after that kind of invasive procedure. Haha. He is very sweet he will get me what ever I want. And I would do anything for him too. Did you know that insurance companies try to send you home the same day after a masectomy. Even a double masectomy. How horrid. Some people try to drive themselves home alone after them too. I heard it is like a nightmare. I really just hope God is with them. I can't imagine going through something like that alone.

Anyway I have to finish painting one more bathroom and my bedroom and then hopefully I will get a break for the holiday. After that I will focus on replacing all my bathroom counters and floors. Then my kitchen gets new granite hopefully and new floors.

Here is an add-on to the set you can find at Farrah's Creations....I am accepting donations of any amount towards Jillann's Charity for her illness which will be given to Farrah's creations for Jillann. I am doing this so for two reasons.

One, I cannot give all of the items away due to CU limitations.

Two, Jillann, one of our scrappin friends really needs help for her medical treatment.

When you donate you will get the following items...

4 Beautiful Papers
2 Quick Pages
74 Elements
6 Glitter Fills

However If you bought the big kit at Farrah's Creations, just let me know you can get this one for free as an add-on to the big kit. Just email me your order number and I will send you the links for free.

Sample Quick Page 1




Sample Quick Page 2

Please be patient as I make the links available.

The addon will be available by payloadz via paypal. All proceeds will be forwarded to Farrah to be forwarded to Jillann to help her with medical care and other needs.

If you want to buy the mega kit go see Farrah at... http://farrahscreations.blogspot.com/It is a huge kit and the proceeds go to help our sick scrapping friend Jillann. Just buy it you won't be sorry it is huge....You can then get mine for free. Just email me your order number to kimberly3d@cox.net.

I really need to get back into my 3d Art but that has been put on the wayside...so my beautiful new iMac is just sitting there. How sad, eh? Oh well lets hope I can put it to good use soon.

My husband was so sweet to buy it for me. He knows how much my art and animation means to me. I am so excited to have a wonderful husband like him. Thanks hunny.

Now I gotta go get a recipe somewhere to make lollipops for my daughers school fundraiser.

Well have a wonderful day.

Kimberly

Poetry From Me - Use Your Heart Wisely

Sorry I have been so busy I have not even posted my winners. I will today I think. I have been preparing a list.

However here is some poetry I wrote this morning. Hope you like it.

Use Your Heart Wisely

Working even though you must
Among the vixens, devils and the dust
Come at dawn I mere not say, but however
You are there till no sun is left in the day.

My soul forever is gone to you,
To no other man can it ever be,
A feeling deep within the depths of trust
I know you have given way to me.

When you are near me, sleeping in darkness,
I know your dreams must be of light,
Beauty and love sucumb to your wishes,
Because you tempt me with all your might.

Within my heart, flesh and mind,
I find myself cherishing day and time,
For with you spent is my whole life,
Feeling fortune made me your wife.

How can I relieve your woes,
The working everlasting stress,
The one which makes your heart weak and pain,
How can I make your youth regained.

My sweet, my sweet, I say to you,
To work with ferverence and your heart must be true,
For safe you keep us in your hold,
And true your devotion to love you behold.

How sweet my memory of each time you are near,
I worry my heart would not be able to bear,
Lost to me if you would be,
I can not bear it, I can not bear the thought my sweet.

Your finger types though weary and flat,
Keep your words carefully you must,
Though I feel your want of caring
I worry for your heart is tiring.

Please love tis due time for you to find peace.
Do not give in to the thiefs.
The ones who take your life and soul,
Those minds who would wish your demise.

Be safe my love, be careful, take care,
You know they covet your brilliant thoughts.
To take your work and oh so swiftly they would,
and leave you behind like a carcass they will.

Be wary with life's precious breath
Surely to invest it wisely, my love, my hope,
Because life is oh so short and so sweet
and soon comes death,
Risk your life, do not my dove.
Take care my love, take care.
