oh how I love em'.

So, I'm sure you've all noticed that the cards are going up (many more to come).. here a just a few.  Had to show em' off on the blog for all of you who haven't seen them.  I LOVE how they are turning out this year ~ super cute, fun stuff!  So, cute & fun looking that I have decided to drag my crew out into the spot light & snap a few family pics today :) Let's pray it goes well.. I may be able to photograph your families like a dream, but mine is a different story ;)  So, off I go.. will post results soon! 

I know I needed to read this quote this week, and wanted to share incase you did too :)

A Creed To Live By
 Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different that each of us is special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.  Only you know what is best for you. Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Cling to them as you would your life, for without them life is meaningless. 
 Don't let your life slip through your fingersby living in the past or for the future. By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life. Don't give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect. It is this fragile thread that binds us to each other. Don't be afraid to encounter risks. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave. 
 Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible to find. The quickest way to receive love is to give love. The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings. Don't dismiss your dreams. To be without dreams is to be without hope; to be without hope is to be without purpose.  Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been, but also where you're going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. ~ Nancye Sims ~
