Tweet You've heard the cliche – "Every Cloud has a Silver Lining." Well – I choose to believe that is true! You may think I'm overly optimistic – but I prefer to believe that I am allergic to negativity!! I believe some folks look for the silver lining behind every cloud and some are more [...]

Life as a scrapbook
Posted by Carrie Wilkerson.
Tweet What are we choosing to remember? One of my “nesting” projects when I'm spring cleaning, about to give birth or moving is usually centered around photos, scrapbooks and memories.
