Thank you Nicole and the DSP Friends!

As many of you know, Kathleen is really into digital scrapbooking. On Thursday, when I was trying to keep myself occupied not thinking about the surgery, an idea hit me - create a scrap for Kathleen to help her focus on moving forward. Very shortly thereafter, I realized how inept I was at photoshop. Thankfully, several friends of Kathleen's from Digital Scrapbook Place (DSP) were following the blog, so I reached out for help. I wrote the words, and in just 3 short days, Nicole and the DSP crew created a kit of various elements and this wonderful scrap. . .

I think you'll agree with me that this turned out amazingly well. The journaling reads. . . I am Kathleen. I am Brave, I am Tough, I am Strong. I am an awesome Mom, a great Wife, and a wonderful Daughter. There may be a few physical changes, but I will not let what happened change who I am, how I feel, or my attitudes towards life, friends and family. Because I am Kathleen. I Laugh, I Live, I Love, and nothing can ever take that away from me.

    Ohhhh I hope Kathleen loves it! It was such fun to make (I know the designers were excited to help make the kit for Kathleen!) And I had such fun putting together the layout! Kathleen is just such a wonderful person! I can't imagine NOT doing something like this for her! Thank you for the opportunity!!
