Project Life Giveaway


I am celebrating my birthday this Friday and am so thankful for the gift of life.  Eleven years ago my Godson (who was a year old at the time) was diagnosed with cancer.  After a year of treatments and many, many prayers, he beat the cancer.  I learned many very important lessons during that time and one was to CELEBRATE LIFE!  So instead of complaining I am getting old, or maybe even NOT telling the truth about my age (gasp!), I made a decision to embrace life, to celebrate each day and to be very, very thankful for all God has given me.

  3. I wish I could say I did something with my pictures, but they are sitting on my computer! I do use them to make calendars each year, which is like making a scrapbook.

  7. Happy Birthday! What a wonderful giveaway! We lost our niece 2 1/2 years ago to lymphoma, and we have really tried to embrace our blessings and live life to the fullest. I wish I could say I have my pics in order, but I don't. This would be a great way to get that started. Thanks for the opportunity.
