This is me...


So my friend put a bug in my ear about a blog that was just starting up called Dirty Scraps founded by a woman named Pinky and when I went to the site and saw her first challenge I knew it was definitely a challenge that I wanted to do!!! The challenge was to scrap one of your peeves and then in turn put what you have learned from it!!! This challenge was somewhat liberating for me as I truly scrapped what was in my heart, sometimes I forget how to use my voice and this woman Pinky made me dig deep and express myself in the best way I know how, creatively!!! My page's intent is solely to get what I needed to get out of my heart so I can move forward and is in no way shape or form meant to hurt anyone!!! That is what was in there and it just needed to come!!! This is the first scrapbook page that I have done in a very long time as my two year and one year old keep me very busy but a big Thanks to this woman named Pinky because that was something I have needed to do for a very long time, just get what I needed to get out!!! So here is the blog and my take on her first challenge!!! Take Care and Have fun!!!
