Scrapbooking

I scrap to save the memories for myself and future generations.. I scrapbook because I want my kids to know our life good or not so good times . I want them to be able to look through the pages of our albums and see glimpses of their childhood. I want my children to know about and remember the family ,any who are gone now. With my baby girl now off to college I find myself deep in memory and thoughts about her getting to this point people start scrap-booking a lot because of an event or life change. For some, a child is born such as your own baby, a niece, a nephew, friends child maybe even God child. Some want to memorialize a wedding. Some like to scrapbook vacations where they took a lot of photos. People scrapbook for many reasons. I am starting to do more digital scrap-booking. Image/photo editing software I used.

Off To College

My baby girl is off to college. I tried to get her to go closer to home but she chose otherwise. I decided to let her go to her choice. I think she will learn a lot of life lessons and I hope she loves her learning experience. Maybe because she is my baby I am hanging on just a little. We are still buying things for her dorm room.

Abusive Police Practices A MOM AFRAID

I am ranting today. I feel young people in DC needs much prayer. They have to deal with violent kids and maybe abusive police. I have been told that the police haras boys. They have to have id on their person all the time. You go out jogging and forget your id I think the DC Police cook you. I hate the idea of apartheid type policing. Young men in the area of DC feel that many on this police force are bullies. Is there some type of a way police can do their jobs without pre-nazi like practices. They are suppose to practice a role of preventive deterrent to crime and disorder. They are not to humiliate young men who are not committing crime, only jogging and exercising in the morning. Are young men forbidden to walk on the sidewalks of DC. Is it the darker you are more like they stop you, make you late for work , school or just do they like striking fear into the hearts of young people. It is very frustrating. Why would they stop someone 5"2 and they are looking for someone 6"2. Somebody please tell me. I feel that young men endure the injustices of discrimination, entrapment and verbal abuse at the hands of those responsible for protecting them -- the police. I feel that there is a group within the police department here wanting to cause suffering and fear on young people. I believe that there are good cops out there. I believe some of them are in fear of rocking the boat. Please offices you have to rock the boat sometimes for the good. If you have people in the force who uses pre-nazi like practices you can do something about it. Check out AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL report about police abuse in our country. I am in fear for the young men in my neighborhood who go to school, work and church. I have to put it in God's hands I know that to be true.

I am praying to my Heavenly Father on behave of bothe sides. I feel that I understand that being a police officer is very dangerous and it changes people to be in that kind of danger. God touch the hearts and minds of the police and the young men in this city. Have mercy Heavenly Father on them. Awaken your spirit in them. Give them the right mind. Guide them into your your love and righteusness. Bless them with your protection and salvation in the name of Christ Jesus. Thank You Heavenly Father. Amen!

Prom dress rush

I find myself drafted to make my daughter's prom dress. She want a spring green cocktail style dress with hand rolled roses and tulips. She want hand embroidery stitches all over the skirt. Well I only have one problem, she is doing so much that she hasn't stood still one moment for a fitting. She works, she is on the softball team, she is on the student government committee, and she is rehearsing to sing at graduation as a soloist which she was drafted for. I have another daughter getting ready to graduate who wants a party on a ship which is being planned by you know who.
Basically I have five children in different stages of mom I need you to do such and such. My solution pick a number and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. LOL
