Y’all know that I have a reputation of winning contests… God truly blesses me! Well one of the first giveaways I won was last September. I won a Unique Skins gift certificate. Well I could never decide what picture I wanted to put it on it… I thought about using the pic from my header, but thought who knows if I will continue to keep that as my design, so I didn’t want to use it. Then I went through and found my fave Superman picture, but again wondered if I would want that in the long run. So my gift certificate number sat in my inbox til last Saturday night. I was looking through my pictures and remembered I had never used my Unique Skins gc and thought I should so it didn’t expire! I still had a hard time deciding what picture to use for Vostro, and thought that I would use One Of My Loves for Vostro’s skin.
What do ya think?
It has my fave colors, one of my fave flowers and I also combined a couple of my fave scriptures:
Ezra 7:10
“For ‘Ezra had set his heart on studying and practicing the Torah of ADONAI and teaching Isra’el the laws and rulings.”
John 13:15
“For I have set you an example, so that you may do as I have done to you.”
I have taken those two scriptures as my life verse and purpose. I want to set my heart and mind on studying and acting out the Scriptures of my Savior and since He has already done it, He has given me an example to follow. I’m gonna “JUST DO IT” (or Nike it) all the days of my life.
I did it that way because the Gerbera Daisies themselves weren’t big enough to cover all of Vostro, and I wanted to include my fave scriptures, so that is what I came up with!
And… I got some pics printed off of Creative Memories Photocenter to have A Scrappin’ Time with. I printed off some of the vacation that Jocelyn, Dad and I took back in 2005 to finish that album. I can’t wait to scrapbook them! I also some of the newer ones of my and my sibs to put in some frames in my room!
I LOVE that skin! 
I am pretty excited about it. It looks really great and is sooo totally Me! I am so blessed to have won that prize! Its pretty Super! I knew it was gonna be a “Super month“!
Loving Vostro’s new skin,

I think it is beautiful Amanda. And, you are right: it IS you. Very neat.
I guess there is nothing that happens that can wait more than an hour to be blogged anymore, huh?
lol
Now, go win another iPod so we can sell it and get Jocelyn a much-needed laptop.
Love, Mom

Looooove it!!! When I get a new laptop I’m going to have to get a skin…unless I get a pink one.
Good idea about the pic…Soooooo many times I pick something because I like it at the time…need to think about the long run…”Am I still going to like this in five years?” 
Anyway, and love the verses, too.
