this is what i have been working on

since ast night anyway. i staryed making a purse a couple weeks ago then i didnt like the width so last night i started again & finished today i decided to make fowers on it. i have only made 1 flower once sevral years ago. i have a book packed somewhere & remeberd that the fowers in that had middles so i made up my own flower based one what i rember seeing in the book about the middles & the 1 flower i made sevral years ago im happy with how they turned out at least for the first time im sure they will get better with practice. my only decision now is do i put the flowers on the top like this


or on the bottom like this


it is meant for a little girl & im going to put it on my etsy account

i finished

reading linger its the 2nd book in the shiver seires by maggie stuefvater i loved it its another teenage romance book that intails her & a werewolf are in love they are so much better then the twilight series no cheesy love triangles or as much drama

get a fancy camrea or not

so for several years i have wanted a fancy camera because i think they take great pictures i still think they do however im learning that different cameras can take just as good pictures depending on lighting & luck

can anyone tell me which camera i used for these pictures? my point & shoot, my cell phone camera, or my parents fancy camera?

most important thing i have learned

i just got out of a 4 year relationship 2 of which we were engaged im not heart broken or anything im not even angry i am bothered because he would tell me he was working on the issue that postponed the wedding in the first place when he didnt work on it hole heartedly which is fine just be honest about it

its been 1 year since the wedding was postponed in that year i started keeping an eye on things & noticed even more the what he would say how he would say things & most importantly his action im a firm believer in actions speak louder then words i heard once that doing nothing was an action that made sense to me so in this year lots of things started clicking with me the kicker was last week when i was having a conversation with family & they were stating their opinion which was opposite of what was really going to happen i had e-mailed him asking about the issue told him about what was said & that i was sick of it he called the next day & said something to the effect i dont know when the issue will be resolved maybe we should just go with each other call off the engagement & blame it all on me at this point i said nothing my first thought was this relationship is going to end soon i can feel it & he is blaming me for his actions for not getting his act together so we hung up i called him & e-mailed him didnt hear from him for 5-6 days i finally (after not being 100% sure where he stood on this issue) i sent an e-mail calling it off he wrote back stating "i know that you will be able to move on and have more peace in your life" that is word for word

the main thing i have learned is ITS MOST IMPORTANT TO STAND UP FOR YOURSELF NO MATTER WHAT FAMILY SAYS EVEN IF THEY CHANGE THE WAY THEY THINK OR SAY LATER

when i went to court while in jail (it was video court) last week i was told i had to go back today & be there by 8 am on the paper i got it said to be there 45 min early so 715 am at the court house here i come i wasnt sure excatlynhow long it would take me to get there & if there would be a parking space close to the buliding so leave @ 6 am got there pretty quick & found a parking space in front of the court house i getr in about 730 thinking i was going to see a judge so im waiting for my # to be called i asked about seeing a judge i didnt have to unless i wanted to i didnt want to i didnt want to be there all day so i made a payment & left it was harder to get out of bed to go there then it was to get this taken care of next payment scheduled for sept. 7th

here is an off the subject note the last time i was at the court house was july of 2009 getting a marriage liscence that ended up not being used

going back to one of my goals

one of my goals for this blog is to go to church & stay the entire time lately that has been extremly hard for me to do i havent wanted to go let alone stay for 3 hours well after the week or 2 i have had from moving butting heads with people being in jail missing church last week due to jail the temple being closed for 2 weeks i have missed that the most

i went to church today & it was great i loved it i had the urgh to leave it wasnt as bad as normal i stayed the entire time and time flew by so fast it was great to be there nothing can beat the feeling of being in church when you have missed it

im so thankful to be living in a country where i can go to any church i want to
im thankful to be a member of the church of jesus christ of latterday saints
i know that this church has been restored to its fullest
i know that where ever i go (city state & country) i will find a church to go to & know i will be leaning the same thing i would be at home
i know we have a living prophet here on the earth today & he speacks the turth
i know joseph smith was a true prophet im thankful he wanted to learn the truth & restored the gospel of jesus christ in its fullest & thruthfulness
