Happy Memorial Day!

Hi there ladies,

I had an awful weekend with the flu... on the upside I'm off today so I decided to fix my little corner.  There's not much to fix but I sometimes I like to rotate things on top of my desk to make me feel more comfortable and then again after a couple of weeks or months I'll restructure everything again. I'm working on getting a new desk and some cabinets for the wall but I'm saving money for it... since we moved from a 2 bedroom apartment to 1 bedroom all I have now it's a wall on my living room. My desk is an L shape so it takes most of the space...can't wait to get rid of it.  So what are you guys doing today... Care to share????? 

Here are some pictures of now lol I'll post more after I finish.... here it is....



Hey it's me again.... I uploaded a video after organizing the desk... hope you guys like it and just to let the girls from the Fibromyalgia Blog Hop tomorrow I'll post the winner of my little candy.... sorry it has taken me so long.... here is the video... http://youtu.be/2mih7FPD_Nk 

xoxo,

24/7 Abusive Relationship Awareness Blog Hop



Welcome to the Abusive Relationship Awareness Blog Hop. While this may not be your typical blog hop theme, we decided to put together this hop in order to shed light on a topic that often goes unspoken about, when the truth is many of us have either been in an abusive relationship or know of someone who has. We're here not to celebrate abusive relationships, but to bring hope to those who have been firsthand or secondhand victims and to provide awareness to help put an end to this growing problem. 


All of our projects showcased in this hop have something to do with hope, love, and encouragement. The color for domestic violence is purple, and as you'll see purple was used on many of our projects.


I personally thank God that I haven't been in an abusive relationship but a really closed friend of mine did... she was strong enough to get out of it. I strongly believe that no one should put up with any type of abuse or violence for that matter... if someone really loves you it wouldn't hurt you.


For my project, I created a 5"x5" card... using a Kenny digi stamp which I think it is perfect for this project because sometimes we forget how stronger we are but we should rise above all to fight and become our own hero.






To help promote awareness for abusive relationships, eleven sponsors have been kind enough to offer almost $200 worth of prizes to those who participate in the blog hop. Yes, you read that correctly, there will be 11 PRIZE WINNERS. Let's see what prizes are being offered...
