Welcome!

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my new blog. Today is a very special day for me, not only because I'm hoping blogging will lead into a new phase of my life, but because today is my twin's birthday! Eleven years ago today I was in the delivery room about to give birth to my beautiful twins, Andrew and Macy. Today Andrew turns 11. Macy is celebrating her birthday in Heaven. We lost her in a house fire almost 4 years ago, just after she turned seven. Thus the name of my blog and the reason for bringing this dream to life.

Macy and I both love art. I made her a promise in the letter I buried with her that I would always do something artistic to honor her memory. I love scrapbooking and paper crafting, so that's where the promise has materialized. I'd give anything to have my girl at my side scrapping with me, but she's dancing with the angels so this one's for you, baby girl. :)

Here's a picture from their 7th birthday party. Taken just weeks before the accident.


I hope you'll join me on my journey in paper crafting. I don't claim to be perfect or even close to it, but I do enjoy it and have fun with it. Isn't that what's really important anyway? :)

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you'll sign up to follow.
