My Peaceful Pad!

In this corner we have.....

the person that use to scrapbook by the name of Ginger.  In the other corner we have the now converted college student Ginger.  LOL!!!!  Had to have a little fun, or I will start crying and pulling my hair out.

I am sooooo ready for summer break to get here where I don't have to study.  I NEED a break.  Don't get me wrong....I love the degree that I am getting, but I am just really burned out right now.  Plus I have been having some medical issues on top of having to study.  It will all work out though!  After this week.......one more week of regular classes and then final exams start.

Now...the next question is what will I do first for my summer break? 

Hugs!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Just wanted to pop in and say Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I hope you remember to wear something green today.

Just for fun.....try to think of the things that make you lucky and creative something today to celebrate your answers.  Don't forget to share with me what u create. 

Have a wonderful day!

Pics I Love!

I have added some pics to my photo album of this weekend's photography class project.  Let me know what you think!

Going to bed now.  Took my meds that I got at the doctor today and going to try and get some rest!  Until next time~Hugs!

I'm......

so sick!  Yesterday I woke up with a little sore throat, but I thought it was nothing.  Then I had a photography class that I signed up for, so I went to the class.  Most of the morning my throat was hurting but ok.  After we talked about a few things in class, we all went out and started taking pictures.  About halfway through taking pics outside...it started misting rain.  I tried to hurry up and take the pics that I wanted, but I guess that it was not quick enough.  My feet were a little wet and my jacket was wet.  SOOO.....now I am sick with a head cold and body aches.  I have been in the bed most of the day today and heading back that way after this post. (even though I was suppose to have a formal induction ceremony at school today for Phi Theta Kappa)  Anyway......so in a day or two I hope to get some of my pics loaded for you to see. 

Till then take care and stay warm!

Buried Alive!

I have been working on my scrapbook room all day long, and I am buried alive.  I just didn't realized how much stuff I have until I get the middle of it all.  I have rearrange the layout of the room and have organized some of the stuff.  I have ran out of energy for now, so I will have to complete it on another day I suppose.  BUT I am for sure liking the layout a lot better!  I think we will have lots more room!

So, what have you been doing?  Drop me a line and let me know what your plans are for the weekend.

Oh btw, Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!  I send much love to you all!!!!!!

XOXOXOXO

Still Here!

Yes!  I am still here.  I have been taking a huge break because of the lack of things to talk about on here.  I have also started back to school with 17 hours of classes.  I am excited about it all and looking forward to getting things rolling this semester.  I am taking one on-line class and four on-campus classes. 

Sam and I have been sick this weekend.  Sam has been off work the last two days because of this darn bug.  I have just been feeling kinda rough, but I managed to get to school today.  Yesterday was a vacation day from school for Martin Lurther King Day.  I LOVED it too!!!!

In my scrapbooking news, last week I managed to clean out my room and rearrange some stuff.  This weekend I went to a friend's house and work on some of my rubber stamps.  I put some of them back into CD cases and then made inventory sheets for them.  I will put the sheets in a binder so when I want to know if I have some kind of stamp......I can just look in the binder to see and get that numbered CD case out.  Thought that would be the best way to house some of the stamps.  LOVE it!!!!  I still have some more to stamp on cardstock and inventory but will get there.

Well, take care and warm.  Peace!!!

Almost Done with 1st Semester of School!

Final exams are this week.  I have three on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.  Then I will be DONE!!!  I will have a whole month to do NOTHING but what I want to do.  I can't wait!!!!  I have been SUPER stressed the last few weeks, and I am taking that time for myself.  Scrapbook city here I come!!  I have to get busy making my gifts and all that kind of stuff.  So I will be very busy!

I'm Sick!

Of all the things that I could be......I AM SICK!!!!!!  It started with a runny nose and itchy eyes.  Then hurting all over......but knock on wood....no fever.  Then I couldn't just stop there.  I started getting a terrible headache and sort throat from all the sinus drainage.  Now I can't talk but a whisper and feel so terrible that I could just stay home today and sleep, but I must go to school!!!! 

Anyway..take care!

How are YOU?

How are you?  I feel totally stressed and in knots....school, sick family members, the way the world is getting, etc...etc....etc....  I could go on and on and on, but you don't want to read about that so I won't.  I know that everyone has problems and sometimes I feel like the ones that I have no one else has ever had, but that is when I have to take a huge step back and look at things.  The Lord said that He would never put to much on us.  Sometimes it might seem that the weight of all the world sits on our shoulders, but we are NOT alone.  Heavenly Father is right there with us if we just look for Him. 

I think several times a day about where He might be.  He is in class with me, in my car with me, in the shower with me(oh my goodness)!  He is everywhere we are at any given moment.  We just have to look for Him and feel Him there with us.  Even if we need to slow down and take a moment to realize where we are and what we are doing!

I have no idea why I am blogging about this today.  I just felt like I needed to say all of this for me and for anyone else that might want to read it.  It has been weighing heavy on my heart for some time now, so I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings with you. 

Have a GREAT evening with your loved ones!!!

Just a Day Late!

I wanted to get on here yesterday and tell you about my weekend, but I felt terrible yesterday afternoon.  I felt like I was coming down with the flu or something. 

Oh my weekend was so fun.  All the fun started on Saturday at the lake with some friends.  It was the perfect weather to be outside and enjoy the cooler weather.  I love the fall weather.  We sat around and talked, laughed and watched the children play.  One fun thing was watching the children with some adults playing dodgeball.  It was so funny seeing some of the adults running around trying to avoid being hit with the ball.  I was finally able to just sit back and relax and have fun!  It was great!!
