Word Up # 52: REFLECT

Charles Dickens said:

"Reflect on your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some"

I LOVE that quote! A sweet little reminder to be more THANKFUL! How often in the past year, or even just the past few months have I reflected on the hardships in life... The things that have not been easy experiences? The things that today....don't even matter anymore. Sometimes I find myself reflecting on the past maybe a little too much.... As I thought of my word for this time round I realized it is time for me to reflect on my present blessings... Reflect on the things that do matter, appreciate all that I do have. So reflect on your present blessings and show them to us....

We have a superb prize pack for you this week!  There's a new company on the rise and you have probably been seeing it all over the place....Lily Bee Designs.  Well you have a chance to get your hands on BOTH of their debut collections...Three Little Birds & French Couture!!! Check this out..

 

So reflect on your present blessings and show them to us....

and here's what Jennifer had to say about herself...

I think someday scrapbooking will save the world, and I’m going to do it. Every day my family, my English students, and my pets give me inspiration. If I could scrap with nothing but patterned paper, buttons, letter stickers, and a pen, I’d be happy. If I could watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Lost, and Firefly again and again while eating popcorn and cake batter ice cream, I’d be even happier. Give me a cape, a tiara, and some adhesive, and the I’ll make the world safe for scrapbookers everywhere.

and here are her beautiful creations...

Don't forget to link up your creations to this post by Midnight Mountain time (-6 GMT), May 29th.  If it is your first time playing with us....welcome.  We encourage you to check out the F.A.Q for frequently asked questions.

Beautiful creations here! Have always admired Jennifer's approach to scrapbooking ever since I became "acquainted" with her on CKMB.

THIS IS THE FIRST LO EVER I DID FOR MYSELF WITH MY OWN PICKS.
I HATE MY OWN PHOTOS SO THERE IS NO REFLECTION OF ME ANYWHERE.
THESE PICKS WHERE TAKEN ON MY SON'S WEDDING WITHOUT POSING -SO THIS LO IS TOTALLY ME TODAY CHERISHING THESE BEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE.
AND HERE IT IS:
