Kelly > you are here!
this is the LO I have created for this "new chapter" of my life.
6 years ago I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had just run a half-marathon and was extremely active and independent. Today I use a wheelchair and can't drive! But you know what? I wouldn't change a thing! Yes, I don't like what has happened to me but I have met so many amazing people and learned so much about myself that to not embrace where God has brought me in this journey we call life would be so wrong!
This "new chapter" page is not meant to be negative in any way...and this is one of the first times I have done a page about me and my "new normal." Being able to "scrap" about myself and where I am on this journey has been very good for me! My style of scrapbooking is clean and simple...the pages here on my blog will show just that. I have tried new techniques and different mediums to keep up with the changing times but I always go back to the simplicity of grid patterns and an assortment of photos to tell a story.
I have an awesome husband and 14 year old son...greatly supportive friends and church family. I am so blessed! I praise God and give Him the glory for the work He has done and is still doing in my life. Thank you for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the hop! Next up is Nicole...
Blessings my friends!

Conrgatulations Kelly for becoming at a DT member, I can't wait to see your creations as you are a great inspiration for me! I too am a "simple scrapper".. I try to keep up with all the new techniques and ideas, but somehow find myself going back to basics alot. I can get very overwhelmed by all the LOADED LO's.. I can't wait to see your creations! Thanks for sharing your story and am glad that you have faith in God to guide you along your new journey now..

Your story is so inspirational Kelly, I can so appreciate that you have taken what many would consider a negative and turned it into a positive. You always explain your situation and beliefs so eloquently, with gusto and confidence and spunk! You go girl! xx

What a dramatic layout! I liked the collage aspect of your layout. I am glad you have such great support.
Great page and inspiration! I love how you merged the background papers. It is a wonderful testiment to your faith that you can remain so positive when life has thrown you such a curve ball. We all walk through valleys in life and it is often to easy to dwell in the land of pity. I am so glad that you are focusing on the positive and that you are surrounded by such great friends and family! Hugs!
