Live fully

Hi there,

I couldn't help but join in the challenge at Let's Get Shabby this month. It's to be inspired by your favourite book. There is no question my favourite book is One Thousand Gifts, a book close to my heart. I have read this book but open it up every day for more encouragement in counting God's blessings all around us.

My page is of my precious girl, using the words from the book for my title,
 Along with the words from the book I have used the colours as my inspiration. I love the feeling these colours give and felt they suited this photo perfectly.

 These words have been an encouragement for me and I hope they will be for my daughter as well.

My cluster of photos and a cute little saying; and so true. Some of my flowers are from prima the others are homemade.

It was enjoyable doing this challenge and gave me a new view of this book.
