i can't beleive it.....

I seriously can't beleive it - i've been jumping up and down like a mad woman - my kids think i'm crazy - so this morning i'm logging on the the computer knowing exactly where i'm going first - today they were anouncing the winner to the OLW blog challenge and i'm hoping maybe i might be on the slideshow for one of thier fav's - and what do you know I WON . Its the Beleive in Miracle layout that i posted below with Baylee in the hospital. Wow - i am so happy - more because now i have a Layout that expresses my feelings about that time in my life that i may not have had if it werent for the inspiration of that one little word 'beleive'. So thanks ladies who voted - i'm honored - and can't wait to play with that yummy new kit coming my way!

Next - well, i tried to be a photographer with my kids the other day. We kinda had a rough one because they were all sick - but i wan'ted to get it over with. I'm pretty happy with the individual pictures but didn't get a good group shot. I need to work on my editing skills in PSE - my poor sister in law Carol had to deal with me Saturday night with a million questions - and i still have a million more.... any one else think PSE is not a very user friendly editing program? I've had it for a few years and still don't feel comfortable with it.......... i need to take more time i guess - i dont have the patience!

BELIEVE it. Your heartfelt journaling touched us all. Thank you for sharing your story with us. I know it must have been hard reliving that story but it is down on paper not only for you but for her as well. And that's what it is all about.

Email me when you get a chance!

CONGRATS!!! So cool, Brenda!!! I'm proud of you! :)

You are quite the photographer - I would love some lessons some day. I cannot believe how fast Baylee is growing up.

Congrats!! That's great that you won! Your layouts are always wonderful, you take such time with them. That's where I don't have the patience. PSE is easier if you just learn as you go. YOur photos turned out so cute! I love the log fence framing them, and Baylee holding the leaf! Nice touches!
