I feel kind of weird posting this, but yet, so incredibly grateful and blessed, I really have to share. I cannot believe the dream that I am living in right now. To have projects in each of these magazines shown is completely surreal. And I find it so amazing to see where my life has moved in the past year or so, to a place that I never thought about, but am so thankful for. Isn't God amazing? He can take your broken dreams and replace them with bigger and better dreams. My heart and soul are filled with more joy than I think I can handle! :) To have a beautiful family and seeing the impossible become possible...well, I am going to enjoy and embrace every minute of it, as long as it lasts. SO, with all this happiness and the fact that it is my birthday today, I am going to give away a GI-NORMOUS RAK! :) It has tons of paper, chipboard, ribbon, flowers, stickers, and more. I will also draw one other name to get a copy of the May/June issue of Paper Crafts.
Leave a comment here about what you are thankful for in your life. You have until midnight tonight. I will draw a winner later tomorrow.
thank you for stopping by, you know how much it always means to me!
Don't forget JustRite week at Stamper's Dream and the store just got all the new Spellbinders dies in, that includes the new Impressabilities!!! :)

I saw your work in the cards mag Kimberly...congrats girl! You should be proud!!
Happy birthday. I just saw your cards in Cards Magazine last night as I was looking through my newest issue. They are fabulous you should be very proud.
So well deserved Kim! Your work is gorgeous and everyone should get a chance to see it. Congrats on the pubs and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you!!! I hope you have a fabulous day!!
Oh, thanks for the shot at your giveaway!! As always, I am thankful first for my daughter and also for the rest of my family. It's been a tough year and I don't know where I would be without them. xx
wow, since you know my life right now, you know that I am finding it realllllly difficult to find something to be thankful for this week. But once I slap myself out of it, I will come to realize that even though life is incredibly tough right now, I have many things to be thankful for. That I can walk, I can talk, I can hear, I have the ability to be compassionate, I can create, and that I have two incredibly loveable, kind, caring, amazing, talented, sweet boys in my life that make the difficult days more bearable. In the end, I am the richest girl in the world. I am so happy for you and your successes Kim--they couldn't have happened to a nicer girl.
Hugs,
Amy
Oh, and I forgot to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Wowzers! Happy Birthday to you! And fantastic news about 3 published creations in one month! I have been too scared to even post some of my cards/scrapbook pages in PTI gallery much less send in for publication. I am very envious of your creativity. Your blog is one of the first ones that I added to Google Reader ... just LOVE it! Thank you so much for sharing your love of art!
At age 41, my mother passed ... 3 months later one of two sisters passed ... and 1 more month later my father passed. I am now just a few years shy of 50 and the number one thing I am thankful for is my dear, dear sister! Her daughter passed 3 short years ago ... and to live through that with her and to come to realize how strong her faith is .. how strong she is .. and how she can still find happiness in everyday life is a true blessing and a lesson for me and everyone else around her! She is the best!
Hugs,
Kimberly Eagle

I am thankful that my husband is my best friend. He loves me despite my faults. We have two beautiful children, and I am thankful for them every day.
Wow Kim, you have a wonderful story! It is amazing how we can think of one goal/dream and God has another in mind for us. I am thankful for so many things today, mainly a warm cup of coffee, a roof over my head, and a loving family.
Congratulations on being published... I think that would be a dream come true. I am so glad for you, you truly deserve it.
I am thankful for my life.... all if it. Some days are great, other days suck... but every single minute of this crazy life is mine and I would not change it for anything else.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! And congrats on all the wonderful news! You have certainly accomplished a great deal this past year, and those magazines are just a small sampling of your talent :D I am always so inspired by your work! One thing I am thankful for is a renewed sense of who I am and how truly blessed I am to have my two beautiful kids and husband (sometimes that gets lost in the day to day stuff :D ).
Happy Birthday!! and Congrats are your many accomplishments. God is so GOOD! And I guess that brings me to what I am thankful for, that I have a relationship with a Saviour who not only loves me and cares about my dreams but knows what is best for me.
Happy Birthday to one of the most TALENTED paper crafters I know!! I hope this year is full of many more blessings:) Wishing you much joy, happiness and laughter!
What am I thankful for? The Lord's protection. He has moved in incredible ways in our lives of late and has provided for our family in ways only he can do.
Hey Kim....
Happy Birthday to you!! I miss seeing you at the shop. Congratulations on your good news. You have worked very hard and certainly deserve the recognition.
Now what am I thankful?? Well you know what the past year has been like for me so I have to say that I am grateful that God has carried us thru each day and He continue to do so until we find answers.
Take care and God Bless, Hope to see you soon.

Congratulations and Happy Birthday. I am so thankful this week for my wonderful husband and friends.

When I found that out I cried and said a prayer of gratitude.
Happy Birthday! And congratulations on all of you published items!

Oh Kim! I am SOOOOOOOO happy for you!! I am so buying that Handmade mag since you are in it. But hey-----have you seen the APRIL issue of CARDS in person??? YOU AND I are side by side in the book!! The baby cards. THAT is what I was calling you about the other day cause I was freaking out with excitement about that!! How fun is that!
Congratulations on your success! Your work is wonderful and definitely worthy of these magazines. Thanks for the RAK offer!
"Happy Birthday to You". Congratulations are in big order here gal. You are awe inspiring.
I am most thankful to just wake up each and everyday and be able to spend time with the most wonderful man in the world, my DH and family. You see, last year I had 3 heart attacks in a 2 month period and wasn't expected to make it. I thank God the first thing each day and the last thing each night before I close my eyes. I treasure every moment of every new day. Nothing is as bad as there is not a bright side to it. When I think of all that I could have lost and missed out on, I start to cry. My life had new outlook and meaning. I know it may sound mushy, but I really am the happiest person in the world right now and very thankful to be here to enjoy it. Life doesn't get any better than being with those you care about each and every day. The rest is just babble.
Have a happy stamping day! and Birthday!
Trish Hoffman
