Hey ya’ll. 
It’s been kinda crazy here since Shane’s girls got into town so I forgot to get this page posted. It’s the first one in my Joy Journal. I also forgot how cRaZy it is having 5 girls around. I can’t help but try and imagine this group with a baby in tow as well. It’s the stuff that psyche wards are made of. HA! Kidding but I really don’t know how I am going to do it. I keep telling myself that the Lord knows me better than I know myself and that this wouldn’t be our situation if the man upstairs didn’t think we could handle it. Anyway….our weekend was fun spent with family. We are headed to Amazing Jake’s tonight with the girls to play. Actually Shane will be taking the girls after school and then I will meet them over there after the daycare kiddos are gone. That place needs more than 3hours to play.
It’s sad that Wednesday is coming already…..that means Kacie & Karlie will be heading home. I wish they could live with us and we could have all our girls together all the time. One of the ugly sides of split families.
Anyway….just wanted to check in real quick and say hey! Having fun with the girls in between prayers to the porcelain god. Happy Tuesday!
Edited to add Stamps!!! I have had a couple of emails asking about that stamp I used on my layout. It’s from this set called Romance of Spring by Sande Krieger and Autumn Leaves. I also used that “I am here to Live Out Loud” stamp from the same set on this layout I did of me. Love Acrylic stamps! I was actually looking thru one of my mags last week and found a REEEEEALLY cool idea for storing them! As soon as I put mine together I will post it and share it with ya’ll.

I am truly inspired! I need a “Joy journal” too, to remind myself of all the little joys when life gets too hard!
Your page is adorable, and you and Shane are just too cute together!

My favorite thing about the page of you and Shane is the way you did the one heart brad mixed with each row of red ones.

I love this layout and these stamps too! I am addicted to acrylic stamps but haven’t found a good way to store them, so I am waiting to see what you do…. Don’t forget to post your storage idea!
