Part of what appealed to me about the daily life story style of scrapbooking was that women were recording the good, the bad, and the ugly in their lives.  I promised myself that I would not just photograph and journal the happy things in my life and that I would  be real in my entries, which brings me to today's post.

Callleigh challenged me to make a card each week this year.  She knows how much I enjoy it, and I seldom make the time.  I saw this idea in a magazine and as I am low on birthday cards, I planned the papers I would use for the project.

In the meantime, I discovered that in a certain situation I had accidently hurt Angel's feelings, not once, but twice.  I apologized and was thankfully forgiven by my understanding friend.  I did think however, that my error warranted more than just an "I'm sorry" so I decided I would also make her a card to thank her for her understanding and reiterate my apology.  One would think that by 46 years old I would no longer make such mistakes, but they still happen.  Thankfully God and my friends realize I am still a work in progress and give me grace.
