Sponsor Giveaway | Scrapbooking From The Inside Out

Resilience... Living with insulin dependent diabetes for 41 years, and not letting this disease stop me from fulfilling my dreams. I became an RN, worked in diabetes education, then married my sweetheart and became the mom of five healthy children. Today two are married, three are still at home, and I am still homeschooling the youngest two. And I am healthy, no complications after all these years!

I do not handle change well and so moving from place to place is difficult for me. Being resilient has meant making a home wherever we live, and getting through those first few years of adjustment to a new community.

A very difficult divorce-becoming a single mother of two, having to find a job after being a SAHM for 20 yrs and a rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis have all been part of my resilience journey. Scrapbooking has become my way of dealing with these difficult moments.

My resilience right now is facing cancer the second time in 10 years. I'm in the process of working through just what this means for me. I am strong!

Lovely kit! Thanks ...
Resilience ... I first thought of our over 2 year struggle to conceive our first child, keeping at that while it was neither fun nor easy. Now, amazingly, the problems were corrected and we are expecting our third baby this year!

Resiliance - To keeptrying to have a career even though i am also a part time SAHM, it takes flexibility, endurance, all those things that mean resiliance..

Resilience for me...being a 4 year cancer survivor as well as having to deal with the potentially debilitating effects of Rheumatoid Arthritis for 20 years. I don't let it stop me from living life and pursuing my dreams. After 20 years of being out of school, I returned to college to become a nurse. My goal is to work at City of Hope or with St. Jude in pediatric oncology.

Having lupus makes me resilient! Thanks for a chance to win this kit! Rachel puts so much thought into her kits--they are awesome!

I think life has handed me many challenges, including an auto-immune disease, skin cancer, death of a younger sister, raising two daughters to adulthood, etc. Yet, I sit here and say that I'm happy to enjoy the blessings of a new day.

My resilience is what helped me through infertility and then two international adoptions . I also teach public school in Mississippi, and I always seem to get the most challenging of students - it is a hard situation, but I do believe this is what God put me on earth to do.

I guess I'm really lucky that my resilience has never been tested in a hugely major way. It shows in all the small ways instead, I hope - I may get down, or tired, or upset at times, but I always bounce back to my positive attitude pretty quickly. I hope that when I'm faced with much bigger trials I'll still be able to do that too.

losing a job very unexpectedly, and discovering and pursuing a new plan, even through numerous setbacks, as I study and hope to become a nurse.

Resilience....living in a household of 4 boys...3 of which are teenagers :)

I think my career (or lack thereof) is a demonstration of resilience. Ive "started over" about three times now and i just keep trying to get back to the top!

i ADORE these kits and would be THRILLED to win one!

For reasons too personal to go into here, let's just say my middle name is resilience.

I was very sick as a child. I have overcome those challenges to lead a healthy adult life!!

Resilience for me is sticking with it through 6 moves in 10 years of marriage. I long for the day where I know I won't have to put anything in a cardboard box again!

Being able to accept change and be grateful, able to go through a lot in my life, I think that is resilience itself.

Last the last 3 weeks without my husband taking care of our two year old and needy dog! I am horrible at this, but I make it happen... :)

I raised my daughters basically by myself and when they left for college-I went back to college myself-my dream was to get my degree and so at 40something I did!
