I hate slow internet connections. I have been waiting to post these pictures of the cards I just created and my wireless connection is lagging! It's funny because I'm all irritated about it and I glance at the verse I wanted to post for today. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." Although I may be annoyed with my computer, I thank God for that peace that passes all understanding. Right now my life feels like a disaster. I stress about things I have no control of: work, school, FINANCES, my dogs, and my house. The Bible tells me to be anxious of nothing, all I have to do is pray and ask. With the way the world is today, I'm good, I don't have to stress and loose sleep, it could be worse. With that, the peace fills my heart and I know that I'm blessed. You too can have this peace, all you have to do is ask and receive it. God loves you!

A Muse's second A*Muse*A*Palooza challenge is ribbon so here's my entry. The wild bouquet is the very first A Muse wooden stamp that I've purchased and I still love it! Anyway, check out the ribbon challenge and guess how many yards of ribbon are in the suitcase! Cheers and good luck!

Happy Easter! Today we celebrate the rising of our Lord, Jesus Christ. On Friday The Rock church hosted the movie "The Passion of the Christ." It was the first time I've seen the movie. There is so much to digest especially because it was only since last summer that I rededicated my life to God. Through the movie, I kept thinking, "Lord, you did all that for, me , a measly sinner, I am not so worthy of that !" But He loved us, each and everyone of us to die on the cross, to sacrifice his body, all so that we may have eternal life in Heaven! Thank you, Lord, for your greatest sacrifice and your Love for us all! You deserve all the glory and praise! Stamps are A Muse-mini chic bee (w/o the bee); basket from simple celebrations, and Eggstravaganza. Pattern paper from DCWV-Latte, A Muse pretty paper. The chic's shadow didn't turn out the way I wanted, but it's okay.

GRAC #18: no coloring cupcake builder GRAC #17 - use pattern paper Since I've been out, wandering, finding my mojo (lol!) I've missed a weekly challenge and have this week to do as well. The birthday card is from Glenda's weekly challenge #17 , to use 2 or more patterned paper. The second card I thought may be more difficult, challenge #18 was not to use any coloring, no copics (What, are you crazy, not use copics?!? lol!), markers, pencils, spicas, crayons, nothing! So, think simple, Think A Muse, and viola-- "You're the sprinkles on my cupcake!" I didn't even plan it but the pattern on the cupcake top is pink hearts...awhhh! Genius! Mojo's here and Not leaving my sight! LOL! I crack myself up! I'm just crazy....

Easter egg tree @ Mililani Memorial Park simple celebrations simple celebrations and spring Can you tell I like rainbow colors? LOL...it reminds me of my home, Hawaii. I've been really missing home, just being around my family. If you've ever been to Oahu or the Hawaiian Islands, there's nothing like it, the weather, people, and the food! It even smells like home, if that makes sense! I should plan another trip back home. That sounds like a plan! Now to find some moolahh to go! LOL! I wanted to dedicate today's post to my father, it's been a year since he's been gone. Home isn't the same without him though. Every time I went home, he would always be at the airport to pick me up and my favorite dish "kilawun shrimp." This is the last picture of me with my father and mother in Las Vegas. We were at the Bass Pro Shops-Check out the huge catfish!
