I can't believe this is the last challenge! Season 3 has been fun! Everyone at Natural Designs in Scrapbooking (Ndisb) has done a great job! My partner Catherine is amazing and she has been an wonderful partner. So here is our layout for

the ADSR challenge #12..."Accomplishments - It's All In The Numbers".

Journaling by Catherine Wiggins: As I look back and think about what I have accomplished in my life, there are so many things that I normally write off, but together make for some major accomplishments. I am the oldest of 7 children. I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters, most of whom I helped raise. I graduated from high school when I was 16.I got married at 19, then 2 years later, I left my abusive husband and took our 1-year-old daughter to safety. I managed to take care of 2 children as a single mother for almost 5 years, until I met, and later married, my wonderful husband, Adron. We had our 1st child together, and 8 days later he returned to Heaven. Despite losing a child, Adron and I managed to strengthen our relationship, and have had 2 more children. I now have 4 children, and spent 3 years home schooling the older 2. I’ve made 3 christening gowns, 2 First Communion dresses, and countless Easter, Christmas, and “just because” outfits for my children. I’ve worked anywhere from 20 to 60-hour weeks while raising my children, but have recently returned home to be with them. I stay home with the 2 little ones during the day – and chasing a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old is no easy task! I cook dinner for my family at least 5 nights a week, usually 7. I often cook 30 days worth of lunches or dinners over the course of 2 days. All in all, I feel like I’m just a normal mom. My goal in life is to raise my 4 children to be Godly men and women, and to take care of my precious husband.
