2 Peas TOOT

Like so many in the recent months we've been effected by the economy.

My hubby took a substantial pay cut per week to keep his job - but at least he still has a job.

I cut back on spending all around but the part I missed the most was the new scrapbooking products & my trips to the LSS every couple weeks along with the lovely kit clubs.

I've been trying out for design teams of kit clubs/stores/companies I like. So far I haven't been chosen... that kind of gets me down in the dumps & doubting that I have what it takes....

But God has blessed me so much in the last couple weeks with all the prizes I've won.

Today while checking "mellypea's" blog http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/userblogpost.asp?id=41122 I noticed that I won a $50 gift certificate to 2peas for the story I wrote last month about how I became a "pea". I can get a lot with that in addition to the other $25 from the LOAD prize. Here's the post.
