Dirty Scraps Challenge #4:
In Your Eyes-
When I talk to the people I love or friends I often ask myself "Who are they looking at? What glasses are they using?" It's amazing how much less/more critical we would be on ourselves if we saw what others saw. So this challenge is to Scrap a page through someone else's eyes.
Either how someone see YOU (ask them or journal words they have used before) Or scrap a page about how you see someone else. I mean how you REALLY see them. Why they see you that way? Why you see them that way? Think about it and reflect, it might give you some new insight or even compassion (for others or yourself).
Now go get dirty!
Here is my layout for this challenge. I also did this for Creative Scrappers Challenge #92...

"Love you Mom"

Journaling: I look at you and what I see is a very beautiful, compassion and loving person. I am so thankful for you everyday and that we have such a special bond. I wish you could see what I see and that you would believe it yourself, like I do. You have feelings and shouldn't let dad talk to you like that...you need to stand up for yourself and express your opinions to him! I don't believe I've ever heard you talk to him the way he talks to you!! I know he loves you, but just doesn't realize what he has in you and doesn't stop to think before he speaks. But that is NO excuse. You deserve more then that. I think you have a beautiful soul and I wanted to tell you, how much I love you!!


Thanks for stopping by, my friends....

What a CRAZY couple of Weeks!!!

Man, I don't even know where to begin...so much as been going on in the Miller household...first off, my lovely computer of three years crashed and burned about 2 weeks ago...I signed on and left to take the kiddos to the bus and when I got back home, their was a Norton Message, so I shut the computer down and the damn thing would NOT start up for anything. We aren't sure if we had a virus or if the hard drive just crashed, but our computer friend thinks that the hard drive just crashed. So in the meantime, I was using the computer at the library, till our friend could come look at it, then we GOT SNOW...7+ inches, so our friend was delayed coming home and the library was closed and I had NO computer...I was so lost without my friendly friend...Then Bill fINALLY had his surgery on his vocal cords. We had been fighting with our insurance company and they finally approved it...and that was on Monday in Chapel Hill, NC, which is about 21/2 hours away...the surgery went great, he's just having some pain, of course!! But the next day after his surgery, he took me to Best Buy and bought me a NEW computer and Printer...Thank Goodness!!!! As alot of you know, I scrapbook and my editting program on my old computer, while the NEW one didn't have, so I decided to get Adobe Photoshop Elements 8...Can I say LOST!!! I figured out a few things on it...have LOTS to learn still. Okay, enough ranting about my computer....Check out some of my Snow Photos from this past weekend(of course, these have NOT been editted at all)....

So now its on to Mr. Kaleb...we just signed him up for Soccer, now mind you...he has NOT played in over 2 years, because of broken arms, but he is VERY excited and I'm ready to grab my chairs and head out to the soccer fields every Saturday.

So this week, I have been working on the AmaZing February Kit from Tallyscrapper...it is so yummy, lots of pinks, blues, greens, so frickin' gorgeous..check out what I've done with the kit so far:

ScrapFit Reveals and our little Winter Storm!!!!

Let me just say, it has been quite a weekend...well first off, we got our winter storm late friday night into Saturday morning...heehee, no snow...just alittle bit of ice...I took a few pics before the day got above freezing...








Then I decided to take Danielle and her friend to the movies with my girlfriend to see the matinee "When in Rome" and after we ate lunch at Applebees, I was heading to the gas station and damn,if I didn't run out of gas(right across from the damn gas station, my luck)...Are you kidding me? Luckily, I had some nice men and the Canine Patrol push my car out of the way of traffic...so frickin' embarrassing...I guess its about time to get my gas gage fixed, huh....LOL :) But we did make it to the movie on time and it was a cute movie!!!

SO today is REVEAL DAY over at ScrapFit...this is my first challenge since I made the Design Team and I'm so excited to show you WORKOUT#13:
