Distracted

     First let me say hey! Thanks for stopping by. I feel I must introduce myself a little better, that will give you the option of whether to visit more or not. Distractions as blessings is the title of this blog because crafting to me is a distraction. Let me explain...as of a year ago, maybe even 2; I decided enough was enough. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and I figured there has to be a better way to "survive". Being raised in the church, there was only one option: turn to Jesus. My journey has not been an easy one, dying to self and the pleasures that self so frequently indulged in was difficult to let go of, to say the least. So I needed a distraction. My god-sister suggested that I try scrapbooking. Needless to say, a year later I love it and have developed a very expensive hobby. It keeps me at peace and out of trouble. Crafting distracts me from the temptations outside and keeps me humble. Distractions as blessings because I don't know anyone who alters things, makes mini albums or journals, anything of that sort. So when people began to see what I do, they began to ask for things. It started with me just making mini albums for new babies or weddings as gifts. People around here hadn't seen anything like it and was telling me how beautiful the projects were. My best friend always asks me to make things for church/family members. It keeps me busy. People always ask when I'm going to do it full time, but I don't think that's for me, it would take the joy out of it. Me and deadlines don't get along. Anyway, I said all of that to say, my distraction (crafting) turned into a blessing for myself and other people. My crafting is simple. The only thing is, I craft slow, lol. It takes me time to pick out papers and embellishments. That is why me and deadlines don't get along. 
    Well I guess for my first entry I've bored you enough. This blog will be crafty and spiritually uplifting. If that's what you need, I invite you to come back and visit often.
