The Beauty Of An Oklahoma Sunrise- A Reflection

How often has the sun peaked in your window and you groan and you bury your head trying to hide away from the sun? too many times right? I know I am guilty of this myself many times. Often I forget that with each new sunrise brings a new day and I can choose how my day can go. I am one of those people who love to watch Sunrises and Sunsets! It is one of my favorite things to do and it often reflects in my photos since it seems I have a gazillion pictures of them but I can't help them. I always seem to find something different in each one. I try each morning to go out and watch as the sun is coming up how the first rays are spread across Lawton and Fort Sill. The hues that are present the pinks and purples in one area and the blazing red,orange and yellow where the sun itself is just starting to peak through. It seems to set my mood for the day!


Thinking about how the rays of sunlight are spreading over the city helps remind me that I can help keep things calm and rational throughout the day.


Next time things seem chaotic, set your alarm clock a bit earlier grab a cup of coffee or whatever you prefer in the morning and go outside and watch a sunrise. Watch as the rays begin to touch every building, every tree everything inside and let that be your guide for the day.

Another new tag using Honored Scraps

Honored Scraps has done it again.... She has released another beautiful kit! Lots of people love fall. There is just something about it; I don't know if it is the smell in the air or the changing of the leaves but fall is one of my favorite seasons. Autumn Romance fits perfectly. With its varied papers and elements it's perfect for any tag or layout you may want to do! Right now you can find Autumn Romance on sale over at DreamScape Imaging

Changes Coming Soon!

Some changes are coming soon to this blog. In order to separate my hobbies of digital scrapbooking and sig tags from each other. I will be opening a new blog that will be strictly for my digital scrapbooking stuff. I will still be posting my promo stuff here but any new layouts I do will be posted over there. I am doing this simply because many of the scrapbook artists I use are Family friendly themes while many of the Artist tubes I use may or may not be. This is a personal decision to do this. I will be updating both blogs often. I will be removing and updating my personal scrapbooking stuff that I have created including links as when I shift my other layouts, links may get broken. I will get them fixed and back up as soon as I can. This will take about a week to do all this stuff so please bare with me.


Be on the lookout for the new blog and hope to see ya there too!

New Tag Using Scrapkit By Honored Scraps

It's been awhile since I have been able to do any tags using Honored Scraps so finally got the chance this morning to do one. Since it was chilly this morning and they were talking about Autumn on the news I decided to do a Autumn tag. I chose Honored Scraps Falling into Autumn. It's such a beautiful kit with lots of variety and color choices. You can check it out at her store HERE

Make sure you check Honored Scraps Blog for lots of awesome previews and deals going on at her stores ::)

Where to begin???

Oh boy where do I begin?? It's been a long crazy crazy summer here in the Simpson household.

Let me backtrack to May. On May 18th, the life I had before changed. Why you ask? because that day I had a seizure for unknown reasons even to this day.  What do I mean by changed? It means that Until the end of July I didn't go anywhere if I had to go inside some place ( like a store ) If I had to go to the doctor's it took medication ( sometimes a double dose) to be able to go in and sit in the waiting room without having a meltdown. I was and still am to a point a wreck. I am slowly getting better thanks to my awesome neurologist who switched my meds and put me on something to help me and it has. I have been able to go to my doctor appointment's without losing it and have been able to walk into the shoppette without completely freaking out... Just baby steps but for those that know me... those are huge steps! During this time... I really stepped away from what I loved doing. Creating on my computer. I didn't have the heart. I honestly never thought I would get it back and then one day I sat down and opened up PSP and the love of creating was back. It was slow at first but it's building back up again. Something that many don't know about me unless you are on Facebook is that I love doing Digital Scrapbook Layouts. Sometimes I just use Quickpages and sometimes I create my own. I also participate in challenges in a forum for the Digital Scrapbooking Studio .
I do have a lot of fun in there. I have met some awesome people in there!

This is my latest layout using the kit Color my He{art} from The Urban Fairy






You can see the rest of my layouts here....Layouts

Thanks and see ya soon!
