Star Dust Bunnies

I read something very educational and had to share this with you:



At least one astrophysicist says planets are formed in the same manner as dust bunnies that form underneath your bed. Check out this quote from a space.com article by Robert Roy Britt. Rocky planets like Earth are thought to form when dust motes around a nascent star gather to form rocks. Rocks collide, and some stick and grow. "The dust bunnies under your bed grow in a similar way," said Scott Kenyon, a planet-formation theorist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "And after a million years, a dust bunny can get pretty big."



So if the dust particles beneath your bed have collided, stuck together and started to grow, don't worry about it. You're not a bad housekeeper. You're conducting a scientific experiment. Just a suggestion: Don't wait a million years before you clean. Asteroids tend to clog the vacuum hose.



I have been known to say "Dust is a four letter word. If you write in it, you clean it up." I am going to get my vacuum out before I yell at my children for hiding unidentifiable objects under their beds!

One of a Kind for you!

Here's another card with the same idea, just different colors and layout! Hope you like it! I'm loving the Basic Gray cardstock and matching taffeta! It goes great with any color (this card is made with Purely Pomegranate)!

WELCOME HOME JEREMY!

My nephew is home again! He's been in Afghanistan for 3+ months! We're thrilled that he made it back safely! We're off to my sister's on Sunday for a WELCOME HOME party! YEAH GOD!
I'll take a couple pictures and share them with you!

One of a Kind

This is for a special swap I'm in... hopefully my "girlfriend" doesn't check my website! I love this new set called One of a Kind from Stampin' Up! You may notice that I also like to "pop" things up and add dimension to my work! With a matching envelope, you've really created a classy touch!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know you're thinking the same as me, time is flying too fast! I am amazed that it's already New Year's Eve!! We can't delay the countdown, so enjoy!

I'm going to ask my family to write down their favorites of 2007 and what they expect or hope to have happen in 2008 and scrapbook their answers! I think this might be a fun tradition for each of us, every year.

Here's my last post of 2007 and a prayer request for the New Year:

These photos are of my nephews departure to Afghanistan in November, days before he turned 30 yeaers old! The girls waving are Katie (remember the story of Jeremy and Katie three years ago?), my niece, Rebekah and her daughter Dylynn who is right between them in the purple jacket.

The second is a photo he sent to me showing me he is safe, sound and smiling! Yeah God!

My prayer request is one that everyone is already praying, I'm sure. Please pray for God's peace and love to comfort every soldier & their family awaiting for their safe return.

Wishing you and yours a wonderful New Year celebration and may God continue to bless you in 2008!
