my sister cheryl and her husband just bought their first house. in 2 weeks, zack, jake, and i will be visiting for the first time...which struck me with the question: what do i get her for a housewarming gift?
they just got married in august...and came away with a complete collection of kitchen, bath, and general household supplies. they don't really need anything {except maybe a winning lottery ticket, but don't we all...}. so what do i get for them?
one of the perks of their new house is their finished basement, which means that cher finally gets her own scrapbook/craft room! she's beyond excited, so the wheels admist the dustbunnies in my head started spinning when i found this at
big lots for $3 {without the tins}:
what a great storage shelf for a scrapbook room, even if you don't own a quickutz! i bought 2 - one for me and one for cher.
and then i did this:
now to figure out what line to use on mine...any ideas?

"SELF
To preface my choice i want to say i have been a single parent for 23 years and have recently become an empty nester. While coming to grips with this i realized i'd lost myself while being mom,dad,granny, provider,friend,dance leader, driver ,chaperone etc. etc. etc.the last couple of months i've been thinking of redefining ME. so for 2009 my word is SELF.who am i? what do i like? what would i like to do? where would i like to go? you get the idea. now i have to go call my daughter.this is not easy."
this was my blog entry for jan.2,2009. i have begun making a chipboard journal to document my rebirth so to speak. a place where i can write about my journey to redefine me.
thankyou for the giveaway, ms.cheryl
