Alot of things have gone horribly bad as of late. The latest being that my precious Yorkie, Jazzy, was out front on the chain for some fresh air and a neighbors dog attacked her. After two hours of surgery, she died. I'm so lost. This was my baby and one of my children. My heart is breaking and bleeding... I miss her so much and I don't think I can handle anymore.

Prayers Please
I know that there aren't many who even come across my blog yet. I truly want to get started on scrapbooking and especially designing. I have so much going on in my life. I will be glad to post about it all later, in detail. But for my Christian friends and those who cross my post, please please, pray for my family now!
We have been struggling for some time, and now we are being ripped apart at the seems. This is all wrong! I wish I could give you more details. But please, just pray that God will watch over my family and protect us from the evil that is attacking us. God knows what I am asking, please say a sighlent prayer for us! We really need all the thoughts and prayers we can get.
Thanks
God Bless you!

Craziness and Behind on bills
Things are just crazy around here. I had to reduce my hours at work because I have a back injury... I have degenerative disk disease and spinal stenosis. I am in alot of pain nearly all of the time. We also suspect Fibromyalgia, but I can't afford to go to the specialist. I dropped my hours with the advise of a social worker who told me I would qualify for some state aide to help with my medical bills. So I have been scraping by for the past few months, had to move to a smaller house and well, made many adjustments. This didn't work. The only thing it did was cause us to fall behind on rent and bills and cause all of us to become stressed and depressed. So I'm getting ready to go back to work full-time. I may even change jobs for a higher paying one. Maybe I can find one with insurance that wont rob me blind too. So while I'm wanting to get started on designing scrapbook kits and such, I'm still hanging out and waiting. I haven't found any good sites with lessons that I can afford and really haven't felt like doing it anyway. Just been downloading freebies to do my layouts, which I haven't done much of and can't post, cause I didn't remember to keep the credits to the ones I did. Maybe I should purge my whole computer and start over. Naw... I'll just keep those ones for printing out for my own use or something. They are to pretty to lose. Well, anyway, have lots of cleaning to do today and have to work early tomorrow... just wanted to post something.. sorry it's so depressing.

My Scrapbooking Blog start
Hello, I'm Angela. I'm married to my soul-mate, Ron, who was a truckdriver, over-the-road when we met. He is no longer driving due to disability. I am a nurse, Ron helped me through nursing school. We met, just after I entered school. His brother and my best friend set us up and it was love instantly. We have been together every since. I work in home care with disabled children. It is a very rewarding job, and very draining too. But I love it! We have five children and I have a step-son from a previous marriage, that is like my own child. Benjamin-24, Anthony-19, Felicia-18, Rick-17, Dylan 15, and Joshua 8. Benjamin is married to Jenny and they have two handsome boys, Dalton-5 and Marshall-3. Felicia is married to Cody Lakey and they have two beautiful children, Autum who is a year and a half and Damien who is 9 months old. I love being a grandma. My husband and I are planning to adopt and to do foster care. We have gone through the MAPP training, but currently have hit a road block. We had to move to a smaller house for awhile, so we have put it all on hold for now. Felicia and Cody, Autum and Damien, and Dylan and Joshua all live with us currently. I love having them all here. I miss my older boys and wish I could see them more. Benjamin and Anthony are both in Iraq in the Army. Rick lives with his father a couple hours away. He works a couple different jobs and still goes to school. He has also enlisted in the National Guard. I am very proud of my children.
I have a deep love of poetry (writing it) and of photography. I have more pcitures and photo albums than most people. Many on my computer since I now have a digital camera. I have often thought of opening my own photography studio. Not that I'm that talented (I am pretty good), but I just love taking photographs. I love photography of all kinds. Flowers, nature, animals, etc. But I mostly love taking photographs of people. I also love to play around in PSP. I guess that is how I became enthusiastic about scrapbooking.
So far, in scrapbooking, I have picked up alot of freebies and a few paid kits. I've done a few quick pages, but cannot share them yet. I can't remember where I got them. Bad bad girl. I'm sorry. I'm really enthusiastic about it though. I want to use those first kits I came across and print and bind the pages for myself to share with my friends in my home. I would very much like to share some here, with others and I am very very interested in making my own kits and giving them away, maybe even selling them. That would be awesome. I am creative, but I'm also never satisfied with my work, LOL. I'm going to look further into lessons on creating scrapbook kits. I don't have any extra money right now to persue this, but I want this very badly, so I will find a way. I plan to offer freebies here. But for now, this will be blogging my effort to learn and daily life I suppose. Although I do have another blog that I keep up with pretty well. I also have a website/homepage on yahoo geocities that I started years ago. I haven't updated much in the past couple years, but it if chock full of photos of my family and my poetry. I really do need to update it, but I have become so interested in other things, just seems like with work and other interests, I don't have any more time.
I guess I will end on that note for my first entry. I have tried to add photos and it won't let me for some reason. So maybe next time. Thanks for reading and God Bless You.
