You know how somethings are called what they are. Like a refrigerator is called that because it refrigerates.
OK so that wasn't a very good example but it was the best I could come up with.
Well I have a new kit to share with you today that is called breathless and left me feeling that way as it is totally gorgeous. I am a bit of an addict for clusters but WOW, these are clusters like ... well just like WOW really.

Isn't is awesome and you can get it on special offer here
I had such fun creating with it and here is one page I made - my little girl.

I also have another page to share - another made for the weekend crop over at Shimelle's - Oh yes - I plan on all 16. I still have 4 to go LOL
This was the challenge to use a pocket and hide something in it.

It is another page for my Austria album and inside the little tag pocket are 4 things - a tag with lots of journalling on both sides, the ticket from the cable car and also the two typed sheets of information that were in my old photo album which I kind of fancied including.
I haven't a photo of the day yet (I am really not doing well this year)
Today I am thankful for
- my dinner prepared ready for me
- laughter - it really does help

And my one minute devotional calendar page today is
I’m a case study on how to be an overnight success in 20 years or less. It took me years of frantically pounding against opportunity’s door before I sold my first novel; five long, frustrating and discouraging years.
One of the first lessons I learned in dealing with the constant barrage of rejection was the need to celebrate the small successes. My first sale was a five-dollar anecdote.
Our five-year-old son, Dale, was part of the Christmas program at church. His entire role consisted of reciting a Bible verse. Sure enough, when the time came, Dale flawlessly recited the verse, but hesitated when he forgot the reference. In a moment of panic he looked to me. Wanting to help, I cupped my hands over my mouth and whispered, “It’s Luke. It’s Luke.”
Instantly relieved, Dale shouted out in a loud booming voice, “Luke Skywalker!”
This tale has long been repeated in our family, along with other Dale stories. One day I decided to write it up and submit it to a church magazine. A few weeks later, I received a check for five dollars!
I was ecstatic; I’d made a sale at last. A magazine had found something I’d written worthy of publication—worthy of payment. The confidence boost that five-dollar anecdote gave me was worth five million. I’d made a sale. I’ve never forgotten it.
God, thank You for the small encouragements You send into my life. Help me to celebrate the little steps I take as I trudge toward my goal.

Love the colors of the Breathless kit :-) And I have an affinity for clusters as well.
I love the little pocket on your layout. I will have to try that on a Las Vegas layout and put some of the cashout tickets I saved from the slot machines :-)
