I had to make the awful decision to put my cat, Felicia, to sleep earlier this week. She was full of cancer which started out in her mammary glands and quickly spread through her little body. She was my constant companion for over 10 years. I will miss her terribly.

Wildflowers

Love is like wildflowers, it's often found in the most unlikely places.

Scatter Joy

I suppose I could have chosen a different title for this picture of Dani with her little Mona Lisa smile here, but anyone who knows her would know how well the title fits her. :)

Sweet Felicia

What's for Lunch?

I received some sad news this week. My cat Felicia has cancer. The vet could not tell me how long she has to live. He said he does not believe she will have any pain until it reaches the end stages, so I am going to give her lots and lots of love and watch carefully to be sure she's not suffering. I really love this cat.

Thanks for Stopping By

For me, scrapbooking is more than just a hobby. It's the best way I know how to keep my mind off my troubles and focus my attention on all the blessings I have in my life.

I used work at a newspaper in the graphics department full-time plus sell digital scrapbook kits on the side. That came to a halt when I was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called a Chiari Malformation. I've had three surgeries so far that have only made my symptoms worse.

To try and make a long story short, I am no longer able to work and now use the limited time I'm able to spend on the computer to digital scrapbook and maintain my blog. I feel blessed that I am able to do this because it helps me focus on what is important in my life. Some days I think it's what helps me keep my sanity!

I love to give away freebies so please be sure to visit my blog often! If you would like to share my freebies with a friend, please give them a link to my blog. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation! :^)

Thank you for visiting my blog. I would love to hear from you! Please feel free to leave your comments or questions here on my blog or you can write to me at ChristineBeers@hotmail.com

P.S. Although I create my own digital scrapbook papers and embellishments, I also love using products other designers have created. Many generously offer free samples of their work. You can find a list of sites that offer freebies, and other great resources, below.
