Counting My Blessings

This last week was quite a whirlwind of events. After calling my daughter's doctor insisting that I come in to have her weight checked, we come to find that she weighed less than her birth weight. We were immediately admitted into the children's hospital in Portland.

While being in the hospital was scary, I realized that she and I were in good hands. After many tests and a new feeding plan she started to gain every day. Next door to our room, I could hear a baby cry like I have never heard before. I found myself praying more for that sweet babe and her mother than my own circumstances.  It put things into perspective, know what I mean?

We were discharged the afternoon before school started, which relieved my husband greatly. So we got to take E to first grade as a family.

I got to sit down and create with Heidi Swap's new collections which gave me so much peace. Does scrapbooking do that for you too? It was the therapy I needed.

Today I have a Mixed Company Mini Book tutorial to share on Heidi's blog...

Create Well: Count your many blessings. Health, love, family, and the time to sit and create.
