“This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days,
smiles when sadness intrudes,
rainbows to follow the clouds,
laughter to kiss your lips,
sunsets to warm your heart,
hugs when spirits sag,
beauty for your eyes to see,
friendships to brighten your being,
faith so that you can believe,
confidence for when you doubt,
courage to know yourself,
patience to accept the truth,
Love to complete your life.”
That is my wish to you - every single one of you - even for a few of you who seem to think it is appropriate to anonamously post nasty and offensive comments about me and my marriage - may you find peace in your hearts! and joy in knowing that you can make people smile and not cry!
I love my blog, becuase so many gorgeous beautiful people visit it! I love my blog because so many people care! I need my blog to help me get through days! So I'm blogging on! I've taken a deep breath - I have family and friends who love keeping up to date with me and my girls, if you are not one of those people move on will you!
I'll leave it at that - I'm moving on, and ignoring yesterday.
I'm smiling today cause I got to scrap with a beautiful precious friend! And Katie got to play with one of her favourite gorgeous little friends! What are some things in your day that made you smile???
Will be back next time with more photos and another layout share!! :)
Tomorrow I'm off to work and then it is the weekend YAY!

Jolene,
I am so pleased you have decided to continue the blog, I love reading about you, and adore seeing photos of your gorgeous girls.
Your layots are always an inspiration to so many, and you have many supportive and caring friends who are here for you - good times and bad :0)
Hi Jolene.
I don't really no you but I do pop over quite often to read your blog and look at your layouts.
I just felt I must encourage you and tell you not to worry to much about those nasty comments.
I am sure you have more people that like you than dislike you and those people are most probably just jealous.
Don't waste your good energy on worrying about people like that. They are just so not worth it.

{{hugs}} Jolene, good on you my dear dear friend. Love that poem, nice touch!
Your friend and her daughter had a wonderful time, that and your poem made me smile, thanks!
Hello Dear Jolene,
this is my first post here.
I found out your blog months ago and every time I come, i just get better and better thanks to your beautiful scraps and adorable daughter's smile.
Everytime you light up my day.
I'm fond of your work, it's inspiring me often..
Please keep going and don't care about nasty people (for me, they are just jealous of you...)
Kisses to you and your lovely family.
Hey Jolene....know all too well what its like to have people basically kick you in the guts when you are most vunerable!!
My advice to you...just be you. Your an amazing person that offers so much more than people care to realise.
I love popping in to your blog to see what you have to share. Your beautiful girls are so lucky to have such a caring and wonderful Mum that is proud to share all the many achievements that they reach.
Stay true to you and keep on blogging....and to all those nasty *bleep* people out there, find a life and consider thinking before opening your mouth....remember karma is a wonderful thing!!!
Loves to you Jolene and your precious girls.
(Oh and I voted for Miss Lilly at Pumpkin Patch...she is sooo cute!!)
Hello. I've never commented on your blog but I'm one of your subbers :-) I'm glad that you've chosen to continue to blog. Call me one of the stumped ones as to why some people have nothing better to do with their time.....Your children are beautiful. Your life is fulfilled. You have a hobby you are passionate about, friends that surround you and family that loves you. I'd say you are a blessed woman. {{hugs}}
I van´t believe there is people doing this! They don´t have what to do?
Continue you blog, it shows the person you are!
Enjoy your girls and your work, becaise this brings a lot of good feelings for a lot of people!
God bless you!!
kisses
Jolene, I am so glad that you are going to continue to blog. I love reading it everday. No one in the world knows what happened in your marriage except you and your husbend and if people want to judge they don't really care. I hope you and your husbend can work things out.
OMG Jolene...I am so thankful that you are going to continue blogging!! Thanks for the poem, it is so true! Be strong Darlin for yourself and your babies. I am one of those people who can tell just by what is written that you are a truly beautiful person and one whom would never hurt a flea, and that the people who matter most will guide you through this pain and bring you out the other side.....continue blogging, photography and scrapbooking and continue your passion for life!
I for one will be here to leave you some love that you so deserve!
In this world there are people who constantly want to bring you down, rise up above their nasty hurtful comments and prove to them that they are not even worth mentioning. And I also have something else to say to the Anon(Gutless)bloggers who post nasty comments get a life!!! And if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all.
I am smiling cause I am alive and I have your blog to still come to read...Thank you so much for continuing on....Luv Shaz xoxo
<3 <3 good on you Jolene. I dont know what was said, but I do not that there are very nasty people out there that have hurt in their hearts and feel the compulsion to inflict it on others. You are a strong and gorgeouos woman, with fantastic talent.<3 <3
Hi Jolene, I have no idea what was said but how people can be so nasty and mean, I do no know. Your blog is just wonderful and I am so glad you will continue to inspire us!! Hope your gorgeous girls are well and keep smiling:)
May God Bless you Jolene, at this tough time...pick yourself up & dust yourself off lovey. You are not yet 30, and have 2 beautiful little girls, a loving supportive family & precious friends. Accentuate the positive & eliminate the negative. xoxoxo
If someone can't put ownership to their comment, then they can rack off! Untill you've walked in someone's shoes (or lived in someone's marriage) you have no right to comment anyway...there is a very simple old saying for those of you mean spirited righteous individuals..."if you can't say anything nice, then don't say anythng at all"...easy as that, and I am sure your Mothers or Grandmothers taught you all that...just because the internet allows you to make off-handed judgements doesn't mean your conscience should!!!
I have adored your scrapbooking for years, way way back when you were jpien at S &C!!! You've run your own online business with integrity & manners, and now you are an amazing photographer & still a fabulous scrapbooker...all the while with your little world in cyclonic mode just lately...what's not to admire??!!
Hold your head high, share with us your blessed & not so blessed moments, and know that God loves that way you are carrying yourself through this.
Have a beautiful weekend.
Hey Jolene !!
I'm so happy your back !!! I have to tell you that yesterday I was a little bit confused, didn't quite understand your message ?
I haven't read those nasty comments, I can't believe someone would do such a thing... anyway! you have the perfect attitude !!
Take care,
Annie
Oh Jolene, I'm just appalled that people are being nasty to you. I guess there are some sad individuals out there who will always feel jealous of someone as gorgeous and talented as yourself. I'm so glad you're holding your head high and carrying on. I love reading your blog and looking at your beautiful photos. Karma will take care of the ugly natured people, and living well is always the best revenge!
Hugs, Maria
So glad to see you are going to keep on blogging!!! Only just heard about you being "smacked"....ignore them...they have no life...you are doing an amazing job with your two beautiful girls...well done!!!
Hi Jolene, I don't really "know" you and you don;t know me, but I have been reading your blog for ages. You have such gorgeous girls, and are an inspirational scrapper. I hope that life will be kind to you in the future and you find loads of happiness, love and friendship with those people that make you feel the best about yourself.
Take care, and happy scrapping,
God Bless

I love visiting your blog but I dont always leave comments
Some people like to go and spoil it.
Keep Hopping, Blogging and Scrapping
I'm sorry that there are people out there saying nasty things to you. They are cowards, posting anonymously, and trying to pull you down. I don't know you, and you don't know me. I'm way over here in NY, half a day behind you. But, I do check regularly for your posts, and always find myself with something to smile about after reading your entries.
Big hugs!
Chevonne
A friend used to tell me that her Grandmother had a saying...now the exact verse is a bit vague to me now...but the moral of it was that....only jealous people criticise and put others down....so take pride in the fact that you are envied...we are inspired by your work and strength..glad to see you won't be stopping your blog..
Hugs to you and your girls.
H-L
I wish you some courage and a lot of happiness Jolene!
I love your creations, and your blog, and I'm happy you decided to continue the blog!
The jealous and stupid people are unfortunately part of this world. The internet also. We can do nothing!
Endeavor just forget them, to be happily and make your family happily, as you do so well!
Bises,
Fabienne (France)

OMG!!! Not you too! Jolene you so don not deserve that!! I had tears in my eyes when I read how they had kicked you when you were already down. What kind of descent human being could do that? I don't know you personally but I absolutely adore your work and love seeing your blog and look forward to the updates, you are a true inspiration. I would be lost without your blog it is one of my favourites and love your work and your photos. Keep smiling and sending you hugs.
Hi Jolene, I just checked in to have a look at your creations and couldn't believe the posts. I don't know what was said but the title of your blog is My Bright and Colourful Life - it doesn't say that this is just for scrapbooking and I'm sure your life involves more than paprcrafting! Thank you for sharing and hang in there. Hugs, Sonia x
You tell em honey!!!we love you too and am very thankful to hear from you and hear you are ok..luvnhugs chrisxxx

Blog on baby!!!
people who have nothing better to do in their lives than bring others down - just deserve our pity!!
Your kids are gorgeous and your work is inspiring - focus on the good in life!
there is lots of it!!
Lisa
Jolene, there are some really ugly people in this world... They must live in a very ugly world by themselves...So sad. You on the other hand are a beautiful person. I dont know you personally, but you live in my scrapping world and that makes you a friend. Ignorance is a sad sickness. Posting anonymously is a cowardly thing to do. They have to live with themselves, you on the other hand dont...Thank God for that. Glad to see you post with a happy heart, I always look forward to your posts.
{{hugs}} Jolene. Good on you for continuing to do what you love and what makes you happy. You are an amazing woman, a wonderful mother and a fabulous friend. xx
You're a wonder Jolene...truly trong and beautiful. Chin up and walk forward Chickadee.
Much love to you and your babes.
Oh Jolene...good on you for continuing to blog! I can't believe that people would do such a horrid thing.
This is my first comment here but I am a HUGE lurker. I love your blog, seeing your creations and reading about your gorgeous girls.
Thanks you so much for sharing and being an inspiration.
