Well…it is the passionate week of the Stamp Simply Team! Just in case you have been living under a rock in the last week, Sharon has been celebrating her Blogaversary this week with an INSANE amount of goodies brought to you by…US…her Stamp Simply Team! We thought it would be great to be involved in her celebration and volunteered to give some stuff away! Well…today is MY turn, and I am going to get passionate about things here!
I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT
Jesus. “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ: For it is the power of God unto Salvation for everyone who believes.” Romans 1:16. I am passionate about Jesus Christ and the relationship I have with Him.
My Husband. Little did I know when I walked into my college German class, I would be sitting down and having my future husband teach me. Not only once, but twice! I had him as a teacher for two semesters, and the rest is history!!
My Girls: My life, my happiness, my utmost joy and the loves of my life. Absolutely no words can describe how passionately I love them.
My Voice. God has blessed me with a gift so powerful, it encompasses the core of my being. It is a gift so intimate and yet so grand it cannot be compared with anything else in my life. It is me. It is everything that I am about. I am so grateful that I have had the chance to develop it to the point where I can musically express anything I want to, much more comfortably even than with words.
Learning. I am a forever learner. I am constantly wanting to learn more and strive more and be more so I will become better at the next thing on my list…
Teaching. My father was a music teacher. I was blessed enough to have him teach me as a child. He was a great teacher, and I learned a lot from him. I think I have touched a lot of people’s lives through teaching. As a matter of a fact, I know I have. I am so proud of my students, and hope to always learn more so I can always teach more.
Traveling. I am so excited in my life to have the opportunity to travel. A lot. This is a HUGE part of our life as a family. A life filled with learning about cultures, people, their stories. Nothing is more interesting to me than to hear people’s stories.
Stamping/Designing. This almost goes without saying on here, but I love this job, this community, this passion of stamping and designing. Who would have thought what a journey this would have been. I am always changing, deciding what brings me joy, and deciding to commit my whole self to this art has been scary and wonderful all at the same time.
Would you like some candy? How about this VERY FIRST set from Papertrey ink “Paper Tray?”
What about YOU? What is your passion? Please share it, and really think about it. If you do not play by these rules, you will not be eligible for the blog candy. I am passionate about that!
The drawing will be Saturday morning at 9am. So check back!!

I am incredibly passionate about my children…I want them to do their best, to play their best, and to be their best…I want them to be treated fairly…I never want their feelings hurt…I often think it’s hurts me worse than them if they ever do have hurt feelings or are treated unfairly.
September 10, 2008 at 4:43 am
A couple things I’m very passionate about is my Faith and my relationship I have with God who gave me the next best thing I’m passionate about. My husband. Both of these men are the rock that I lean on. I could go on about what I’m passionate but I don’t want to take up the whole page.

I am passionate about living my life in such a way that people will ask what makes me tick. And then I can tell them it is Jesus I am living for!!! It is my calling, my honor! Thanks for the thought provoking question.
Be blessed
September 10, 2008 at 4:54 am
I am passionate about my studies. For almost 6 years I’ve been at uni and am now doing a PhD. I have loved every single minute of it and I am so grateful that I listened to the still small voice that was whispering to me that this was what I needed to do, and that I didn’t listen to all those big loud voices who were telling me I was crazy. My life is so blessed because of that.
September 10, 2008 at 4:59 am
I too am passionate about my relationship with Christ. Serving Him gives definition to my life. My passion for God allows me to be the perfect wife for my husband and the mother that my 4 children need me to be. My other joys in life revolve around relationships with my friends, my church and being creative.
September 10, 2008 at 5:10 am
Thanks for the opportunity.I am passionate about my family and life in general.
Have a Great day.
September 10, 2008 at 5:13 am
Aside from my obvious passions for my family and friends and of course all things paper crafty, I am mostly passionate about helping others. I LOVE to spread kindness and smile whenever and where ever I can.
September 10, 2008 at 6:22 am
My relationship with my family is what I’m very passionate about, husband, children (now adults), grandchildren and my Dadums has been there from the start….. And my passion for scrapbooking everyone knows about…

September 10, 2008 at 7:21 am

I’ Christian too, and this fact influence my life a lot, for about 5 years my passion is sharing my experience as beiing Christian with others, especially young people, I’m one of founders http://www.wyplynnaglebie.pl which is completly great for me and other people, we started this site with my 2 friends after we met on Lednica, which is the largest Christian meeting here in Poland, on Lednica meeting hundreds of thousand young people (age is mainly 13-25) choose Jesus to be their main aim and to live with Him, today our forum has nearly 2.000 users which is really big number for us, because this people not only communicate via forum, but they organise different events both Christian and cultural, they are reporters and journalists in different media, they are volunteers, musicians, and they truly change thier local community, we’re very proud of them, of course we work as volunteers and this make it soo special, we don’t treat is as work, but as great pleasure and great gift from God, this is my main passion, of course I live with my family, my parents and sister and 2 brothers, they’re my passion too, my passion is music, I play guitar often, and I don’t forget about my passion to create, mainly cards I love stamps:D
have a great day
God bless you!
September 10, 2008 at 8:04 am
What is my passion?
Like you, I am passionate about my relationship with Christ. It is comforting to know that with Him in my life I am never alone..through the good and the bad, He is always there for me…to lift me up, to guide me, to nurture me…He is EVERYTHING to me.
I am passionate about life, for it is the greatest blessing. I live each day joyfully, thankful for all the blessings that have been bestowed to me.
I am passionate about my family…both immediate and extended. They teach me, and have taught me, the meaning of unconditional love and the value of kinship. Everyday is a fairytale because I have them in my life.
I am passionate about volunteerism for it allows me to share the many gifts that have been given to me.
I am passionate about knowledge because it was not always as accessible as it is today.
I am passionate about creativity for it allows all of us to express ourselves when words fail us.
I am passionate about true friendships because they are the angels of the physical world.
I think I have taken up enough of your time and space on your blog. Thank you for sharing a part of you with all of us:o)
September 10, 2008 at 8:47 am
I am passionate about my husband, traveling, learning and horse riding! I love my husband to bits as he really cares about me and gets me like no other. Plus, he loves to travel as well and we’re both the type that can’t stay still! We need to travel and enjoy it very much! We both love learning as well and teach each other new things and share new interests. As for horse riding, I’ve always loved horses and getting to ride them is always a blessing! Thank you for the chance!
September 10, 2008 at 9:54 am
I am passionate about creating happiness. Whether its stamping or crafting something to bring a smile to someone’s face or helping them to bring them joy.
Thanks so much for the chance to win!
September 10, 2008 at 9:54 am
The most important thing in my life is my husband and my three sisters and their families. We girls have lost our parents and it seems we turn to each other to fill so many roles. My husband is my best friend and my biggest cheerleader. It is because of his encouragement that I have ventured into my own stamp line with Rubbernecker. Stamping and painting has become so much more than a hobby to me. It is a creative outlet that fills so many places in my life. It relieves my stress from work, it gives me the opportunity to teach others and it affords me a vehicle to express myself artistically.
I am an operations director for several medical practices. The most fulfilling part of my job is dealing with people. I am driven my relationships with people and thrive on interaction. I would dry up and blow away if I had to be in a cubicle and never interact with people. I have never had children but find myself as an older woman in management that my need for mothering is met by managing young woman who many times need more than a manager. They need love, understanding, acceptance and mentoring as many of them have not had the same fortune as me to have wonderful parents and families.
Thanks for the opportunity to win your blog candy but more significantly for requiring me to reflect on what drives me in my life.
September 10, 2008 at 10:03 am
My passion is looking at great blogs with great inspirational samples — like yours!
September 10, 2008 at 10:17 am
What a beautiful post. Gives me alot to think about. I am passionate about my family. My husband is the best, for me. He is always there with a listening ear, to encourage me, and I am there for him. I am so blessed to have my best friend as my husband. I have 2 wonderful sons that live far away for work. I am so blessed that we have a very close relationship and that we speak to each other very often, as they are 19 and 20. I don’t see them as much as I would like, but I know that’s the way it is. I have to let them grow up and learn now. My parents, who live far away as well. They are in good health, and happily retired. We see each other as often as possible, and speak to each other at least 3 times a week. Everyday I am thankful for my family, and realize truly how lucky I am.
Thank you for the chance to win your blog candy!

I am passionate about my family – husband, 4 children, parents, etc. I love to do crafts and share a bit of joy with those around me. I wish there was more that I was passionate about – but the kids do take up most of my time and energy.
September 10, 2008 at 10:33 am
One of the things I am very passionate about it helping my grandparents. Although my grandfather is no longer with us, I made sure that I was by his side helping my grandmother the last 2 years of his life. He was bedridden the entire time. It was very difficult to see him like that but I knew that I needed to be there for him and for my grandmother. Now that he is gone, I make sure that I am still there for my grandmother everyday. Family is the most important thing that we are given and should not be taken advantage of.
September 10, 2008 at 10:34 am
I am passionate about my God and my grandkids. I prayed before they were even born that I would live a God-centered life for them to see. I want to be a big part of their walk with Christ. For awhile I was able to watch them while their parents worked. Because of my son’s illness, that has been on hold for almost a year now. I still try to see them and keep them as often as I can. We have dinner every Friday as a family. Of course, I continue to pray for my kids and grandkids and all those who have a part in their lives.
September 10, 2008 at 10:38 am
I’m definitely passionate about a lot of things–Jesus, my family, paper-crafting, etc. I am also really passionate about enjoying, not just seeing, all the wonders God has created in our life.
September 10, 2008 at 11:11 am
I too am Christian, and am passionate about sharing His word with others. I am passionate about my family (my children and my hubby), my friends and my hobbies. Recently I have become SUPER passionate about trying to help our 4 year old son, to figure out what is going on with him and get the help we need for him. He seems to have something called Sensory Integration Disorder, and something else (possibly Autism or Asperger’s but we won’t know until we get Assessed).
Thank you so much for this chance at winning some great blog candy :)!

My passion is to serve Christ in whatever way He would have me to do. Right now that is through music and cardmaking. I helped to start a card ministry at our church and we make cards for shut ins, the military, church members who need encouragement and to help raise funds for special projects at church–the first was an elevator for the disabled and now A/C for our Fellowship hall. I’m always looking for new ideas to show our stamping group and really appreciate blogs like yours and Sharon’s.
Thanks so much for offering this blog candy.
September 10, 2008 at 11:51 am

September 10, 2008 at 11:55 am
I am passionate about….
God – If God wasn’t in our lifes I would be afraid where we might be today.
Family – Happiness, Joy, New adventures, and you can always count on GOD and your family being there for you.
Stamping – Is a craft I love and it helps me escape from reality and helps release stress. I love making something from my heart to share with family and friends. The smile and excitement of them opening a handmade card and project makes all the money and time you put into it worth everything.
Thanks for making me think of some passionate things in my life.
Thanks for a chance at this sweet candy.

I am extremely passionate and fortunate to have a wonderful loving family between my husband, my wonderful children, our family dog, and our family cats. Everyone goes hand in hand here and helps out where they can and with what they can. I also love to make goodies for friends, family, and just because gifts to strangers to spread the joy of getting a surprise goody regardless of anything.
Thanks so much for a wonderful chance to win a amazing goody and hope that you have a joyful day.

Passion for me includes my love for the Lord, spending precious time (since we live so far from each other) with my children and grandchildren, enjoying my husband because he’s the absolute best, playing golf with husband and friends, treasuring the friendships that have been cultivated through the years, paper crafting, and making it a point to learn at least one thing a day, whether it’s a new word, or a new stamping technique.
September 10, 2008 at 12:13 pm
Thanks Becky! I am passionate about God — the pursuit of God, the character of God and serving HIM! Everything I do comes back to God and the gifts he has given all of us. I am also passionate about my girls and teaching them to be passionate, upright women someday. Lastly, I am passionate about my family living out God’s will daily in practical, unselfish, life-giving ways.
September 10, 2008 at 12:18 pm

I am passionate about my relationship with the Lord, my family (husband and children), my parents, sister, brothers and their families, life in general (because there are blessings each day), then stamping, knitting, travelling, reading, gardening,…just to name a few. My life is full and rich. Thanks for the opportunity to win! Hugs.
September 10, 2008 at 12:24 pm
I am passionate about many things. Besides God, Family and my Country, I am passionate about finding a cure for Juvenile Diabetes. My 14 year old granddaughter has had this since 18 months of age, she has been poked over 6000 times between needles, daily sugar level tests and moving her pump site around. She wants anything to be a normal teenage girl, and I want that for her too, but also want to know that she has the chance to have children of her own, and lead a healthy and normal life. See, I am VERY passionate about that…wouldn’t a cure be great!!! Thanks for letting me have the soap box…I feel better already…!
September 10, 2008 at 12:28 pm
I enjoyed reading your list. How beautiful. To be honest, I am passionate about myself. I always need to be conscious of not getting burned out with job, and demands made of my time. I need to take time just for myself. I am passionate about that.
September 10, 2008 at 12:29 pm
I’m passionate about being the kind of wife God wants me to be. I sure don’t want to screw up this blessing-of-a-marriage God gave me! I’m thrilled to say that my hubby is passionate about being a godly partner to me, too. It’s doesn’t get much better than that!
September 10, 2008 at 12:36 pm
I am passionate about my daughter, Rebekah. I want her to grow up knowing she is loved more than life itself. I want her to be courageous, strong, intelligent, humorous, and have her own passion for life. She’s my blessing from God. We adopted after 17 years of marriage and a long road of trials. She was dropped into our lives at the perfect moment. We were in the delivery room when she was born and the first time I touched her I knew my life had just changed forever.
September 10, 2008 at 12:51 pm
I am most passionate about my family. To see them grow together, and be good to each other, does my heart good!
September 10, 2008 at 12:59 pm

Becky
September 10, 2008 at 12:59 pm
What a great question. I am passionate about my husband, without him I wouldn’t have so many other things to be passionate about, like my children – I love them so much! I have three children and I have stood by while I was told they would not survive (at different points in their lives) but guess what our love prevailed and they are all with me! Now a wonderful 18, 7 & 4 yrs old. Life is wonderful! My friends are something I am very dedicated and passionate about and I’m very passionate about how I live my life with etchics, morality and thankfulness everyday. I have so much to be thankful and passionate about. Thanks for letting me share that. And this one goes without saying that a personal passion is the ability to be creative through stamping and scrapbooking – Hugs & Kisses for that! Cheryl
September 10, 2008 at 1:03 pm

I am passionate about paper art so thank you thank you for giving me the chance to win some Paper Trey, I love their stamps!
September 10, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I am passionate about my children. After finding ourselves suddenly on our own 5 years ago when their father decided to start another life with another woman (after 14 years of marriage), we fumbled for a bit but bounced back and are stronger than ever! My two kids, now teens, have been such a joy their entire lives, and we have had so much fun in our journey together. They have been a constant source of entertainment! My daughter is now 17 and just left for college, on a full four-year scholarship (I sure miss her!). My son is 15 and though he misses his sister, he is really starting to take off in his own direction. He is a wonderful young man. I could not have asked for better children.
September 10, 2008 at 1:09 pm
Your post was beautiful and so well written, Becky, that I think my eyes watered. My number one passion is life and living each day as best and as full as I can. I almost lost this life early in the spring and prioritizing what’s important has also become a passion.
September 10, 2008 at 1:10 pm
I am passionate about my family. It sometimes brings tears to my eyes just to look at them and feel my heart swell. I hope so deeply that I am able to pass on the best parts of myself to them and that they will grow in their love of Christ, family, learning and appreciate all the blessings they enjoy.
September 10, 2008 at 1:11 pm
I am passionate about family and tradition. I always try to continue traditions every year with my family, and sometimes create new ones. I also make a point of having a big family supper twice a year, so we can all get together and spend time with one another.
September 10, 2008 at 1:20 pm
I passionate about my family and friends. I am spiritually lead daily to live a life that is filled with love, respect, trust, caring and forgiveness.

I am passionate about:
My three grandchildren—-who couldn’t be? LOL!
Kayaking. My sea kayak and I spend many glorious hours out on the water together.
Stamping and scrapbooking. No explanation needed there!
September 10, 2008 at 1:34 pm
What a great topic for discussion.
I am passionate about a number of things. Firstly, I think I am most passionate about my daughter. She is 2 1/2 years old and I take my role as a Mother very seriously. I love her more then can be put into words…it’s something that comes from my heart and soul like nothing I’ve ever felt before. I want her to grow up with a solid foundation, built on honesty, trust and love among many other things.
I’m very passionate about family. I think it’s important for families to spend time together…to eat dinner together…to share their smiles and tears together. I’m very thankful for my job because without it, I wouldn’t be able to contribute to my family’s well being.
Although these are a few highlights of the things that I am passionate/thankful for, I am also thankful for people like you. You give me the opportunity to stop and take a moment to think outside of the every day hustle and bustle that we sometimes let take over ourselves.
Have a wonderful day š

What a fun question. My friends have all said that I’m a very passionate person about the things that interest me…and don’t care at all about other things š The things I am most passionate for (currently) are my fiance (I can’t wait until December when I get to marry him!), mathematics, travel, and scuba diving. Stamping is on it’s way to becoming a passion, but I haven’t had a lot of time to do it yet.
September 10, 2008 at 2:08 pm
My passion is my family. After God, my children are most important in my life. My passion in life is to raise them to be the best people they can be and to serve God and help others.

September 10, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I have 4 major passions in my life at this time. 1. My walk with God. I strive to be the kind of person who sets an example for everyone I come in contact with. Many people would never have Christ in their lives if not for the examples set by Christians. 2. My children’s salvation. I pray without ceasing that my children are saved and walk with Christ daily. I was not a Christian as they were growing up so I neglected that part of their life and I so regret it. 3. Animal abuse. I do English Bulldog rescue and it breaks my heart the way some people treat God’s creatures. I have eight of these babies at my house now and have had as many as 12. I am constantly on my soapbox about spay/neuter and the responsibility of pet ownership! 4. My study of Bible prophecy. I just started taking classes on Revelations and I am sooo hooked!! I love this! I can’t seem to get enough.
Thank you for sharing your passions with us and for your blog.

I am passionate about Jesus! Next is oxygen, and then water. Other great things I am passionate about: my husband, friends, family, my cat, nature, yoga, cross country skiing, bicycling, stamping, buying stamping supplies (especially paper), reading, watching movies, reading blogs, candles, stars, hugs, helping others, listening to others.
September 10, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I must admit, although I am a Christian, I have not been as passionate about my faith as I really ought to be. I have not fallen out of the Hands of God, but I need to rekindle my passion and zeal I once had.
Family, I have a dh whom I’ve been married to for nearly 22 years. He’s my best friend. I am fortunate to be a SAHM. LOVE IT!! I have 2 sons & 1 daughter and they are my world.
My hobby/passion is with scrapbooking, card making, and PAPER! I love playing with paper.
Thanks for making me think and reminding me of what is important!!
September 10, 2008 at 3:02 pm
I’m not sure I have any passion left. I think I may have used it up in my first 61 years. I’m pretty mellow about everything anymore. I used to be very passionate about my kids but they’re 39 and 38 now and can manage their own passion. But I guess if I have to find something now it will be my 7 furbaby kitties. I get pretty upset when the neighborhood dogs come sniffing around for them. They are my kids now so I guess my passion lies within them.
September 10, 2008 at 3:12 pm
I am passionate about my kids and making sure they are happy and that they feel loved and safe. I want them to enjoy life and everything that it can offer.

What a lovely foundation for life. You are a passionate woman.
I am passionate about my daughter first and foremost. Second I am passionate about the man I love. Third I am very paddionalte about my family and my close friends who are a part of my family. I am passionate about my football team(Go Broncos) and about my crafting. I am very passionate about my nieces and nephews and keeping the family together. I am passionate about reading and music and a good education. And I am passionate about making life worthwile. Thank you for sharing with us and allowing us to share with you.
September 10, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I am a mother so my first passion is my kids education. I am not sure if it is a passion or an obsession. They would call it an obsession – I call it a passion. I love to watch them learn and get so much joy from hearing about their day. I love when they tell me something new that they have learned or tell me about a new book they are reading. I help with the take-home-reading program in my son’s class so I also have the enjoyment of seeing all the other children improve throughout the year. I love watching children learn!
My second passion is card-making. I am sure I don’t need to explain too much there. I think we all have a passion for paper-crafting otherwise we wouldn’t be here. It still amazes me how many others out there share my passion in life.
September 10, 2008 at 3:22 pm
I am so moved by your words. They are so filled with strength of character and reflect your beauty! (inside and out)
I am passionate about being passionate! It’s true. I cannot do anything half hearted. I give my heart and soul to whatever I embrace, be it love, learning, or creating! If I am learning something new, I have to learn everything I can about it! When I am creating something, I have to see it through to the end before I can rest! In love, I share every piece of myself, I do not hold anything back, and would never want to. The wonderful thing is that when you are passionate about something you get so much more from it!
Have a fabulous day! And thank you for the chance at this wonderful set!

Amen….Living by faith is so exciting and I am so grateful for what Jesus has done for all who believe…thank you Jesus. Another thing I am passionate about is the Crisis Pregnancy Centers. I have been blessed with the time to make cards and sell them. The thing that drives me to sell the cards is that I like to bring awareness to the Crisis Pregnancy Centers by donating a percentage to the center which gives me the opportunity to talk about the centers. It is always surprising to me how many people still don’t know what the centers offer. Savings lives and giving the babies and moms a chance. Thank you.

Present holds everything for me for life, so living in present is what I am passionate about. Spreading joy, making some else smile and enjoying the moment. Thanks for providing us this oppurtunity to win a blog candy.

I am passionate about attempting to live an environmentally healthier lifestyle and the bit of volunteer work I do with Cope Environmental Center.
September 10, 2008 at 4:02 pm
I’ve found that what I’m passionate about has changed in the last few years. I used to be passionate about my job as a kindergarten teacher. After retiring from that, my focus has turned to caring for myself better so that I can live a longer more healthful life. My sons are grown and married and starting families of their own. We will welcome our first grand child in a few months. I know that I’ll be excited about life for a whole new reason. By taking good care of myself, both physically and mentally, I am more able to care for my family and serve God. Crafting, quilting, and gardening help me have a full life.
September 10, 2008 at 4:08 pm

What a great giveaway! It is nice to slow down and think about the things that are priorities in our life. I am very passionate about my family.

What a thought-provoking post, Becky! Thanks for sharing your personal thoughts with us. I am passionate about my realtionship with my husband. We don’t have children and our extended families are far away so we mostly have each other. He is wonderful and we are a great team together. He always encourages me no matter what I want to do and I try to do the same for him. I am also passionate about my two cat children. They were rescued from the wild and they have brought us so much joy for the least 10 years! I am passionate about the work I do – I work in the biomedical field and I hope that our discoveries will help treat or cure the diseases that afflict so many people. Finally, I am passionate about my crafts – paper crafting is relatively new for me, but I love it! I love beading and other jewelry-making, too.
Thanks for the chance for the blog candy!

What a great post and very insightful. Thank you for sharing your passions. My passion is my love for Christ and all the things He has done for us. I’m also passionate about my family – my husband, parents and siblings are extremely important to me. Thank you for the chance to enter and I love reading your blog entries and seeing your creations.

I have priorities in my life that line up with your passions. I try to put God first in all I do. My family is certainly next in my passions. I love my husband and 2 children. I love to serve others. Thanks for sharing your passions. FYI-I think Papertrey stamps are great!
September 10, 2008 at 6:06 pm
I am passionate about clog dancing! I did it for 20+ years on a weekly basis and just love it. Love the adrenaline rush I get. But I have a back injury that has sidelined me…probably caused by the 20+ years of dancing that I did. But, I still think about it daily…always puts a smile on my face. In its place, I’ve discovered card making and am enjoying it very much…is becoming my new passion!
September 10, 2008 at 6:15 pm
I’m passionate about so many things, but one of the main ones (besides hubby and daughter) is my horses. I absolutely love anything and everything to do with them. I am so very fortunate to be able to share my love of horses with my daughter! I am waiting for the day when we can have two horses and can “ride off into the sunset” together š But, for now, I’ll have to be content sharing.
September 10, 2008 at 6:18 pm
As those whoāve gone before me, Iām passionate about my Lord, my family, and being the absolute best I can be at whatever I doāwhether itās fixing a meal, working at my office job, or enjoying a sport. āGood enoughā is never good enough! If itās worth doing, itās worth doing/working at, to the very best of my abilities, whether my church, my marriage/family life, or my connection to the āoutsideā world.

I am passionate about my children, even though they are 20 and 21. I was a single mom for 11 years and my kids and I were a tight unit. Even though we have gone through some very rough times in the past 7 years I desire so much for my children and I do give 100% of myself to my kids!
September 10, 2008 at 6:35 pm
My passion and goal is to do all I am able to draw my family into the Family of God. My biggest priority now is my 9 year old grandson being raised by my son. He is already a Christian and I want to instill those values the best I can during these years. Thanks for an opportunity to share and for you sharing with us.
September 10, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Like so many of you, I am definitely passionate about my faith in God, my husband and children, and creating. (which at this point in my life is almost entirely cards and scrapbooks- both which make others happy!)
Thanks so much for sharing!
September 10, 2008 at 7:07 pm
WOW! What a refreshing post for today! I am passionate about my faith in Jesus Christ and my husband.
September 10, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Just thinking of what I’m passionate about gets me choked up…definitely my biggest passion, and the only reason I get out of bed in the morning, is Christ. And I have a passion (or yearning) for that to be my children’s passion, too.
My oldest is blind, and I have a passion for his life to be happy, exciting, accessible, free from prejudice, and fulfilling to him.
Thank you for making me stop and think about this…now I’m all choked up again…
September 10, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I am passionate about the life that I have been blessed with by God–my family, my friends, my work, and the community around me. Time is short so it’s not a long paragraph but my heart is in it.
September 10, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Passion….my first thought was my grandchildren, especially my 4 year old grandson who was diagnosed with autism. Caleb is my special little munchkin. Now if you want to talk about stamping and scrapbooking, thats what I do for fun and it has been my passion for about 20 years now. I don’t even think it was popular back then!
September 10, 2008 at 7:31 pm
What is your Passion…that is a loaded question…..I am passionate about Jesus, the Word and prayer! I am passionate about my children and of coarse paper crafting…so much more…but not enough time to share. LOL! Thanks for a chance to win!
September 10, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I am passionate about children. They amazing me every day. I am a 3rd grade teacher and I love coming to a place full of bright, happy, loving children each day.

September 10, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for the prompt to think about the things we are passionate about.
For me those things are:
my relationship with Jesus Christ, and my gratitude for all He has done for me;
my husband of nearly 25 years who also has a passionate relationship with Jesus Christ;
my son and my daughter, and the hope that they will take the faith of their parents, and make it their own;
my extended family of my brother and sister–in-law and their two children, and my husband’s parents, brothers and their families;
learning new things – new languages, about new people and their cultures – knowledge;
my stamping hobby which has introduced me to some wonderful friends and is going stronger than ever after nearly 18 years.
September 10, 2008 at 8:04 pm
I am passionate about the people I love and trying to do nice things for them, trying to have an upbeat outlook, environmental issues, animals, stamping, cleaning (sometimes), watching tv at night,,,,,,,,, There are just too many things to list……..
Thanks for the chance to win.

I am passionate about my family. I could honestly not ask for a better one. Growing up I had the largest cheering crowd, the most sholders to cry on, the most hug to give and receive. As I have grown they have been there at graduations (preschool to college), sporting events (no matter how much more they had going on), they have watched me get married even thought it was miles from their own homes.
My parents have helped me through the toughest times and discusses that a child/woman has had to make. They help with advice and a listening ear, never judging me or saying “I told you so” when the decision was wrong. They truly love me unconditionally. And even now that I am married on my own, they have not abandoned me. They are here with me every step of the way and I would never have it any other way.
They have shaped me into who I am and who I continually become. I love them with all I have and more if that is possible…
September 10, 2008 at 8:33 pm
I love your post today! As a brand-new stay-at-home mom (I am an aspiring Domestic Goddess), I am very passionate about my family & my home. I want my son to have everything in a secure home life that I had & that I didn’t have. I am passionate about having a peaceful haven from the world where my husband, son & I can be free from the stresses & worries that are out in the world past our front door.
September 10, 2008 at 8:45 pm
Hi Rebecca…thank you for your inspirational blog….my passions –hmmm, let’s see…i’m at a cross road right now but I have put my faith in God..so I guess my first passion would be My trust in him..i firmly believe that he never gives us more than we can handle…he has a plan for us and when we don’t understand what’s going on or why…we have to take a step back and let him do his work…
Second on my list are my children, i have four children and two step-daughters..and I love them each in a different way…sometimes it catches me by surprise. I have one daughter who is a survivor of sexual abuse at the hands of her biological father and I’m passionate about making sure she doesn’t feel like a victim but instead feels like a survivor…Passionate about rejoicing in all she has accomplished despite this tragedy…
Third on my list, I’m passionate about my husband…we’ve been together for 15 years, he’s my best friend, my wall to lean on..he’s a great father/stepfather…..I’m more in love now than ever….
and lastly, I am passionate about my dogs..I’ve only had them for 2 years and can’t believe how much I love them…..I can’t imagine my life before them…
Well, thanks for your blog…i read it often…i’m new to cardmaking/scrapping…i have a ton of things including a Cricut and don’t know where to begin but I’m sure that eventually, I’ll be able to post something…
thanks, jeanette
September 10, 2008 at 9:09 pm
I am passionate about treating people the way I like to be treated. I try to get someone to smile every day or I pay someone a compliment in the hopes that it will lift their spirits a little and make the rest of their day happier. I am passionate about my daughter’s and their paths in life. I am passionate about showing my DH who is the sweetest guy on earth how much I love him by never taking him for granted.

I am passionate about my family and my faith. I am also passionate about helping others whether that be through counseling, teaching, friendship, volunteering, providing encouragement, or just brightening someone’s day with a card, smile, or kind word.
September 10, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Joan sent me here.. thank you Joan!
I love the card making,but would not call it passionate (only because there is not enough time to spend on it yet). My passion is first and formost with My Lord. He is the driving force in my life. My next passion is my husband and children, in that order. I had my priorities turned around for a while, family first and God next……..wrong order!!! we got it straight and back on track, thank you God for being patient with me.
AS for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15.

I am passionate about children. I always have been and suppose I always will be. I believe that they need to be kept safe, held accountable when needed and treated with the same dignity and respect that is shown for adults.
September 10, 2008 at 10:09 pm
What is my passion? This question has so many possibilities. My first passion is my relationship with my husband who I adore! My children’s happiness and well being are something else I am passionate about. Other things I show a passion for? Stamping, gardening, cooking, geneology and staying in touch with friends and family all over the country.

I’m passionate about my husband, step-kids, grandkids and sister. Next to family, music is my greatest passion, with stamping running a close third.
September 11, 2008 at 12:00 am
I am passionate about my job. I am a caregiver for the elderly. They have had a special place in my heart since I was little. I even wrote a paper in 7th grade about how forgotten some of our elderly are. I still have it! It is my goal to make a difference in someones life, and to make sure they are ready to meet thier maker when the time comes. How wonderful it is to see someone accept Christ or renew their faith, especially in their twilight years. I thank God daily for the compassion He has given me for these special people.
September 11, 2008 at 12:01 am
I am passionate about my walk with the Lord and I am passionate about my family, home and job. I’m thrilled that my children know the Lord and pray that they will always have a close relationship to Him as well.
September 11, 2008 at 12:06 am
OK, I just posted my comment on the wrong post! Here it is in the proper place. š
Iād have to say that I have a top 3 list of passions. . .
1. I am passionate about God and the Good News of salvation through his Son
2. I am passionate about my family ā my husband, my two girls, our godly parents who set such good examples for us and continue to do so. I am so blessed!
3. I am passionate about my calling ā my family and I serve in Kosovo, the newest country on this planet. (big cheers!) We have lived here since 2002 and we are passionate about sharing the love of Jesus and the Good News of salvation. I often miss my family, my friends, and all the wonderful things about my country, but in the end I wouldnāt choose to be anywhere else.
September 11, 2008 at 12:13 am
I am passionate about my husband who loves and supports me in all I do.
My children for their love and the joy and happiness they bring into my life.
My talents that the Lord has blessed me with.
Life and all it brings each new day.
September 11, 2008 at 12:19 am
I am passionate about my relationship with Jesus Christ. I am passionate about my family, I love them unconditionally. I am passionate about my profession, may I always enjoy what I do (I’m a teacher).
Thanks so much for sharing your passion, it made me think of my own.
September 11, 2008 at 12:30 am
I am passionate about my husband and my daughter. I am passionate about my job (I am a special education teacher). I am passionate about scrapbooking and creating.
September 11, 2008 at 1:44 am
I am passionate about having a strong marriage. It’s the best gift I can give my children.

Like you, I’m a tad passionate about PaperTrey Ink. Enough said.
September 11, 2008 at 1:47 am

September 11, 2008 at 2:30 am
I’m passionate about my faith and trying to continue to strengthen it. I’m passionate about my husband. He is my best friend and truly knows me. I’m passionate about travel as well. I think that it’s important to experience different parts of the world- near and far. I’m passionate about stamping. It has really brought so much pleasure and true friendships into my life, as well as a wonderful hobby. I”m passionate about cooking. It’s the nurturer in me that loves seeing everyone happy and enjoying a meal together. I’m passionate about nature. I love being outside in the sunshine and enjoying the changing of the seasons. Finally I’m passionate about trying my best to remain a positive person. It’s tough some days, but challenges are always good.
September 11, 2008 at 2:54 am
I am passionate about encouraging people. God has given me that as a spiritual gift (it makes a nice balance to my critical nature!). I make cards to encourage people. In every card I make I write some message of encouragement — this makes my 95 cards at Christmas a huge committment of time and energy. God is always faithful to give me the right words to say. In addition to that, I work at a preschool for handicapped children and for me, it is more of a ministry than a job.

My passion is my family. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for them…any time, any place, anything. Often my friends do not understand my commitment to them which is hard, but I will never change my “passion” to them.
September 11, 2008 at 3:24 am
I share my no.1 passion with you! Jesus is my first and foremost passion. Without Him my life would be completely hopeless. I am also passionate about my wonderful husband of 24 years and our two beautiful daughters. I am so passionate about stamping and card making that when we were transferred to another state with my husband’s job, I got the study in the new house for my stamp room!!! Hubby had the study in our old house for 12 years and it was my turn this time. Yippee! I am also passionate right at this moment about organizing my massive stamp collection. I just hope I can keep up my momentum because I am definitely daunted by it, too. Thanks for the time to reflect and also for the chance to win some great stamps(that I don’t have yet – yippee!).
September 11, 2008 at 3:53 am
I am passionate about my children. I never thought that I would be a mother and now I can’t imagine being anything but one. I am passionate about my career. As a school librarian, I have the opportunity to enrich the lives of young people everyday. I am passionate about cardmaking and scrapbooking and blogging. All of which allow me to meet other people who enjoy the same things that I do.

I am passionate about my art, because it brings out my creativity and lets me delve into something that lets me put aside the difficult things I see and hear working in the ED at a children’s hospital. It brings joy to others in a way that is so much better than just buying a gift…at least that’s what the recipients say! HA!
September 11, 2008 at 6:06 am
I am passionate about life~
I have a disease that has no cure
everyday that I am healthy I am grateful, that I get to spend it with my two children and husband.
I am passionate about my children, which means raising good, moral, kind, considerate & loving people who care for others. This is the hardest and greatest job that I am blessed & honored to have.
I am passionate about my husband & his dedication to his country (he is a Naval helicopter pilot) and to his family.
I am passionate knowing that God may not answer all of my prayers, but he sure does listen to them & helps me understand things clearer. My faith brings me peace, helps be breathe & reassures me that everything will be alright.
Of course I am passionate about paper crafting, aren’t we all?!?
September 11, 2008 at 6:12 am
I’m very passionate about life. I lost my husband, my family is all gone, and all my possessions were stolen in 2007. All my passion went away and I, too, nearly did. But, God was merciful and I’m still here. I have become passionate about every day, every minute, and every person in it. I love to share, watch people grow and comfort the sorrows in others lives, as my own have been. My art is not therapy to me, it is existence. I have begun a card ministry focusing on the heartache of surviving the trials and tribulations of every day life. God has blessed me. Linda Crowder

My passions are for my Jesus, my husband and kids, my church family and my stamping. I add in my stamping because I get such joy out of blessing others with my crafting. The joy of watching their expressions when they see what I’ve created. The joy of being able to share that passion by sharing supplies to help someone get started in the craft.
September 11, 2008 at 11:04 am
Thank you for sharing. Really humbles me to read all the wonderful comments by such nice people. I am passionate about life, making sure to always remember what is important to me: My three boys, my husband, family. Taking care of myself has become more important to me. They say if momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy!
September 11, 2008 at 11:10 am
I am passionate about my children and being a better person. I want to become more passionate about growing in my faith, becoming more organized and dedicating time to do what needs to be done and not let distractions lead me in another direction.
September 11, 2008 at 11:29 am
I am passionate about my family and my beliefs. While we don’t get to choose our family like we can our friends, God chose them for us and we must stand by one another.

What a wonderful post, sharing what you are passionate about, really beautiful!
As a Christian, I would also say I am passionate about Christ. If anybody ever needs to know the definition of passion, just read the story of Christ!
September 11, 2008 at 11:56 am
First of all, I am very passionate about my family. It has been my goal to be the best wife and mom to my family. They have always come first in my books and I am happy about that and enjoy doing that. Second I am passionate about being a good friend. I had an experience a while ago – where I learned a very valuable lesson about what it means to be a good friend – so now I try really hard to live my life by being a good friend. Thank you for the opportunity to win some blog candy.

I am passionate about making life fun and rewarding for myself and those around me. I always give my all to the tasks at hand. My passion for Christ lead me to many of my other passions…DH, family, children’s ministries, education, stamping, yoga, reading to name a few. One thing I am NOT passionate about is keeping a clean house! š

I am passionate about doing things right, whether it’s getting people to follow the rules at work or putting that last special touch on a craft to get it to look just so. Thanks for sharing!
September 11, 2008 at 12:56 pm
I am passionate about letting Christ shine out through me. God has so richly blessed my life. HE has placed in my life the most wonderful husband, two great sons, daughter in laws and now a beautiful grandson. I volunteer at my church as the secretary, treasurer, teacher elder, driver, & janitor. He blessed me with many talents. I sing and teach crafts. I take time each day to say thank you God for all my many blessings. Mary

friends in the Lord.
September 11, 2008 at 1:24 pm
I am passionate about Christ, about knowing Him, and adding to my faith, and to my faith knowledge and to my knowledge wisdom….I love that verse. I do not want to be ineffective. I am passionate about being a wife and mom. And I am now learning to let go and let God direct my children’s paths, scary. I am praying they will choose the God I love and I do know that He will take care of them so much better than I can. I love my crafts, too!
September 11, 2008 at 1:48 pm
Thanks for the chance to win your blog candy!
I am almost 70 years old and have been a follower of Christ since a young girl. I am passionate about my faith, family and seeing wrongs put right. I have always been on the side of the underdog and have taught my two girls to treat people as they would like to be treated. So many injustices in the world to be passionate about.

I am passionate about
-Learning: I love reading and learning more about the world around me. And I know that it’s one of the things that no one can ever take away from you. I love passing on the love of learning to those around me
-My family: Without their love and support, I wouldn’t be where I am today. No matter what I’ve done, they are always there to listen and understand.
-My friends: It’s just nice to know that there are others that live near me and online friends that cheer when I’m happy and provide a shoulder to lean on when I’m not.
-Life: I just want to make sure I live every day to the fullest!
Thanks for the thought provoking question and for the chance to win!

September 11, 2008 at 2:11 pm
I am passionate about ANIMALS. In Michigan, a lot of animals are getting left behind in foreclosed homes. I am passionate about finding these animals new, loving adoptive homes. If people read this, remember there are no bad animals, just inexperienced owners. If we took as much time choosing our pets as we do our cars this world would be such a better animal loving society.
September 11, 2008 at 2:12 pm
I am passionate about beauty. But not the beauty the world sees in the perfect face or body, rather the beauty of nature, the beauty of art, the beauty in a face filled with lines from years of living, the beauty in my daughter’s voice and spirt, I could go on and on, but I won’t. Many times in my life people have said that “I’m a creator of beauty” because I love to create beautiful things whether its my flower gardens, or my artistic work like paper crafting (cards, scrapbooks, etc), interior design, a beautiful musical, wall art, etc. So thats my passion.
September 11, 2008 at 2:24 pm
I’m passionate about:
my family – they mean the world to me and I only hope I support them as much as they support me
my job – I’m a children’s librarian and I love meeting and helping the children and families who come in the library
my friends – knowing them and their families just makes my life so much richer and interesting
my stamping – I know it doesn’t sound as important as the other things I’ve listed, but I truly love creating something unique and special for others using my stamps, punches, papers, etc. Each handmade item, whether it’s a card or a memory book, is made from the heart especially for that person
Thanks for making me think about my life’s passions!
September 11, 2008 at 2:34 pm
I’m passionate about my grandchildren, just watching them grow and learn and have fun. Thanks for offering this great set.
September 11, 2008 at 3:02 pm
My constant passion is Jesus – enough said! My next constant passion is my family – enough said! My other passions change with life’s journey and the seasons that Jesus brings me. Currently, it is for people whose lives have been touched by cancer, and how many of us is that now-a-days?!
September 11, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Living life to it’s fullest for the cause of Christ is my life’s passion! HE has blessed me with so much so I in turn enjoy sharing much through the gifts God has bestowed upon me! We are not promised an easy road, but HE does promise HE’LL be with us no matter what comes our way! WONDERFUL promises are in His roadbook of life~the BIBLE!
Sooooo enjoy the energy and inspirations that you share with us!!!
September 11, 2008 at 3:37 pm

My Friends are a very important part of my life as well. For each of these things I am so grateful.

I am most passionate about my family. I also have a passion for travel and paper crafting.
September 11, 2008 at 4:06 pm
I happen to be very passionate about my friends. Being a navy brat growing up and now married to a marine you are normally not very close to your immediate or even extended family. I have always lived at least 3 states away from my grandparents, cousins, etc and at times we were all the way across the country. Because of this my friends have become a very big part of my life and while not blood related they are my family. I would do anything for these friends just as I would for my family and I know that they would do the same. I really think that it is a relationship that only people who have lived the military lifestyle can truly understand.
September 11, 2008 at 4:22 pm
I am most passionate about my daughter, she is truly the light and joy of my life and I am so blessed to have her.

I’m passionate about my creative talent and sharing it with others. I’m also passionate about learning and bettering myself (which is why I’m back in school) and teaching (an unexpected talent I want to develop to its fullest!)
September 11, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I’m passionate about what I believe in. My Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Without Him my life wouldn’t be worth living and some days He’s all that gets me through the day. He’s my Rock and the one thing in my life that I can always count on no matter what I’m going through or where I am.
Thanks for a chance to win some wonderful looking stamps.
Hope you have a great day.

I love your blog! I am passionate about my children. I think being a mom is a great gift. I have 3 sons including one with Down Syndrome and I feel like being a great parent & advocate for him is extra important. His birth put my life in perspective and showed me where my passions lay.
September 11, 2008 at 7:25 pm
Hi Becky!

I am incredibly passionate about women’s rights. Their right to live a life feeling safe, loved and secure. Their right to equal pay for equal work. Their right to make their own choices about their bodies. Their right to express their opinion about whatever they choose without feeling insecure or demoralized. I could go on for hours…
September 11, 2008 at 8:07 pm
I’m passionate about my faith, and I’m passionate about music. When I get to stand on a stage full of singers and instrumentalists, and add my voice to the glorious sound all around me, well, I think Heaven must be a little bit like that.
September 11, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Next to nurturing my relationship with my family and close friends. I am passionate about expressing my creativity, whether it be through crafting, cooking or creating experiences. Thanks for the chance. Take care, Laura

I am passionate about my mother and my family. I am blessed to have loving and Christian sisters and the most perfect mother in the world.

Passion, yeah, embeds sharing the Wordless Book, finding illustrations for green, black (dark), white, red, and gold which capture attention and soul. Passion for husband, children, dil who openly speaks,”It’s all about HIM!” as she teaches our precious gd through everyday life, flying, parachuting and stamping…where I can fix mistakes much more calmly than the previous two! Keep Looking Up!
September 12, 2008 at 3:59 am
My passions are many and varied – a passionate life is a well-lived life :). What a great question and an opportunity for reflection.
Top of the list is my husband, my home, our furballs. Second is riding my bike – looooooong distances. Next would be my artwork. I love the mountains of Utah. And my new passion is wondering what it would be like to be blog candy!!
Love your blog –

Please God, watch over us all. Amen

My passion is life. And who gave me life. And what do I give Him in return.
September 12, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I am passionate about music. Love it all – I cannot imagine a life without it or being able to hear it.
September 12, 2008 at 12:11 pm

I have a passion for music and being creative. Thanks for being so nice.
September 12, 2008 at 1:22 pm
My passion is life. It is my husband, my hobby, my activities. I always try to enjoy what I do. I love that stamp set!
September 12, 2008 at 1:27 pm
I am passionate about my God who offers the free gift of salvation through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
I am passionate about my wonderful husband, my four children and their spouses, and my 8 awesome grandchildren. They make me smile everyday.
I am passionate about stamping and the opportunity it has given me to be an encouragement to others, which is something I am passionate about being.
Lots of “passionettes” follow these but they would be too numerous to mention. I’m thankful for each day God gives me. Thanks for offering this set. Reading through these comments has been so uplifting.
September 12, 2008 at 1:53 pm
oh goodness, what am I passsionate about? that is so very deep….
first my relationship with God – it goes beyond just a friendship or a Father/daughter thing. it is as necessary to me as the air I breathe. (think Michael W. Smith song!!)
second is my family – I come from a very abusive childhood, and I was never supposed to have children. So the fact that I have been married to a most amazing man for 22 years and have 3 precious sons is truly a blessing from God that I thank Him for daily!
and thank YOU for helping each of us to remember how special these things are to us!

I would have to agree with almost all of the above comments on what my Passion is for. There are many “first” and what to share over the “seconds” is hard to pick from….husband, family, my christian beliefs, stamping, reading, playing w/grandchildren….the list goes on & on. Thanks for a chance to win but being #230+ it’ll never happen with that darn “computer generator counter” thingy…they can’t count past 100 I don’t think!! LOL! Barb S.
September 12, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I’m passionate about life and living each day as a productive human being.
September 12, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Passions…
My BOYS! I waited untill I was 35 to have kids, now my oldest boy started kindergarten this year. My second son is 3, so I still have 2 years at home with him.
GARDENING. Veggies – and basically anything that will grow!
PAPER. My other passion is paper! designing gardens, painting, sketching, making cards and scrapbooks.
September 12, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I’m passionate about many things, but my faith tops the list followed closely by my husband and children.
September 12, 2008 at 3:04 pm
I am passionate about learning. I LOVE to learn about everything, which in turn means I love to teach. I am passionate about my faith and of course learning about it, my family, and crafting. Thanks for a chance to play! š
September 12, 2008 at 3:19 pm
I am passionate about life, about my partner, and about my dogs. These are what keep me centered and grounded in this life, and keeps me remembering what is really important! Thanks so much for the chance to win! Best, Curt
September 12, 2008 at 3:21 pm
I am passionate about living with purpose. I recently lost my Oma, her life story was the thing that books are written about (okay, one book) and she always lived with purpose and strong will. I love her for that and will miss her as the living example of that. Now, I will need to model that to my children. I insist that they know we are here for a purpose and that we must not waste the gift of days that God has given us.
September 12, 2008 at 3:34 pm
I’m passionate about serving my community. I’ve been a volunteer fire fighter/Paramedic for 19 years in the communities where I’ve lived. Being able to help people when they are the most vulnerable is so fulfilling to me.
September 12, 2008 at 3:53 pm
I am passionate about the Lord, my family, crafting, my home, sharing my faith, and slowing down to enjoy all these things!

September 12, 2008 at 3:58 pm
The thing I have actually been trying to be more passionate about is following God’s will for my life. It seems it is so easy to get side tracked, so I’ve been in a process of examining all parts of my life, including my crafting to make sure I’m honoring God in that area.
September 12, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I’m passionate about serving God in all the different ways He provides including church, family, friends, school and the joy of paper crafting too! What a fun question!
September 12, 2008 at 4:41 pm
I am passionate first about my family. They are my life.
I am also passionate about my stamping and sharing my love of it with others.
September 12, 2008 at 5:09 pm
I am passionate about God and my family, which consists of my husband and three children. We did plan on having three kids so close in age (5 yrs, 3 yrs, and 1 yr) but they have blessed us in many ways. I love them and strive each day to make sure that they know how much I love them and how much God loves them too.
September 12, 2008 at 5:29 pm
What a great prize. I am passionate about my lord, my family both near and far, and sending mail. I love paper and ink; often turing it into a card and the cards get sent to all kinds of folks. Some I know; some I don’t know at all. If I hear of someone struggling and needing a cheery note I get their address and mail them words of encouragement. I love it and am so blessed by it. (of course I send cards to my family members all the time – the mail man loves me as my mail box usually has several letters in it every day). I say its got to be the happiest hobby ever. Even though I seldom receive mail I still remain thrilled to do it – I guess that’s why they call it a passion for something huh! *wink*
September 12, 2008 at 5:51 pm
I just love your blog…I am constantly coming here to look for inspiration and creative ideas!! I have a passion for all things creative, I love looking at fellow stampers blogs and their creative passions..we all have this in common!! I look forward to seeing more projects to come!! Erin
September 12, 2008 at 6:42 pm
I am passionate about my family. I want my children and my husband to know that they are my world. I also love card making and scrapbooking, and shopping! š
September 12, 2008 at 7:36 pm
I am passionate about doing my best to lead a God-centred life and about welcoming and nurturing gratitude and compassion in my life.
Card-making and creative endeavours are a major passion. I love idea generation and thinking outside of the box. And, I love to share through teaching and helping.
September 12, 2008 at 8:40 pm
I am passionate about my faith in Jesus Christ and the sacrifices He made for me. I am also passionate about my son and wonderfully charming 3 years old grandson!!!
And it goes without saying I am passionate about stamping and creating beautiful cards and projects I can use to help touch someone’s life, even for a moment.
September 12, 2008 at 9:00 pm
I am passionate about so many things. Right now, the thing that gets me most excited is the upcoming presidential election. I believe that our next president will take our great country into a future that empowers its citizen to help her achieve its true potential! What a great time to be alive!
September 12, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I am passionate about my personal relationship with Jesus Christ and the work I do with our youth group to share this love. Deut. 31:8
September 12, 2008 at 10:54 pm
I am passionate about my family, they are the most important people in my life. Thank you for the chance to win, and the reminder of how valued to me they are.
September 12, 2008 at 11:21 pm
I am passionate about being a good Christian, wife, mother and friend. After all that is crafting!! š
September 12, 2008 at 11:54 pm
I am passionate about not letting people feel left out. Humiliation is the most powerful tool for hurting someone and I am passionate about combating that. I dont wear ‘rose-tinted glasses’ i know that sometimes you just cant get on with other people but that doesnt give anyone the right to hurt them….
September 13, 2008 at 12:38 am
My passions are many… I have a great passion for my husband, a US Marine who also loves our Lord passionately which helps him do and go where the Lord leads him (and He has lead him to places that so need to hear and see the love of Jesus). I am passionate for my children and grandchildren. But the most important passion in my life is my relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is because of Him and His saving grace I am able to have true and great passion for the loved ones He has placed in my life.
September 13, 2008 at 12:39 am
Cardmaking…and apparently I am also passionate about the supply buying part of it too…lol
September 13, 2008 at 12:42 am
First of all I am passionate about Christ. He is my Saviour and mt salvation. Also I am passionate about my husband of 40 years, my two grown children and my four grandchildren. Another passion of mine is to find a cure for Meniere’s disorder and Blepharospasms.
Thanks Becky for you story and the chance to win the wonderful blog candy!
September 13, 2008 at 1:01 am
I’m very passionate about homeschooling my girls. I want them to grow into beautiful, godly girls who can express themselves well. I long to nurture their minds, but more than that, their sweet spirits.
Plus, I love to spend time bonding with them over a bit of paper and ink!
September 13, 2008 at 1:22 am
I am passionate about being the very best woman I can possibly be at this moment. The best wife, mom, daughter, friend. As a child of God, I am not perfect, but by striving to be and do the best I can I am showing my gratitude for the life I have been blessed with.
September 13, 2008 at 1:28 am
I am passionate about education. People can take many things away from you, but they can never take away your knowledge. I wake up every morning and work with 6 & 7 year olds, and they joy they have on their faces when they understand a new concept, is worth everything to me.
September 13, 2008 at 1:35 am
I am passionate about living life day to day to it’s fullest. there is no promise of tomorrow so make today count! Passionate about treating others the way I would would want to be treated.

I would have to say that right now my passion is serving the Lord, I am amidst a fundraiser that I have spent the last 4 month preparing, organizing and soliciting for and it will all culminate into the event next week. I love the feeling of helping others, raising money to help them. Thanks for this opportunity. Heidi
September 13, 2008 at 3:05 am
Becky—what a great question! Thanks for letting us share our passion! OK—I’ll try to be brief–Jesus Christ–he’s my hope and salvation; my sweet husband—he loves me and lives with my stamp stuff all over our small bedroom—TRUE LOVE! My precious children; I too, sing, though not like you anymore! If you don’t use it–ya lose it, you know? Now I use my musical talent to teach Lower School music at an amazing school. It’s part time which is PERFECT! My extended family and friends—I’m so blessed to have many, many people in my life to love and who love me—thanks again for the opportunity to share! AND what a cool bit of candy! that’s one set I DON’T have!!!

I am passionate about my family. I would do anything for them and pray that my two boys live long and wonderful lives. My DH has been serving in Iraq for the past year and a half and it has made our family even stronger. We can’t wait to have him come home soon to make our family complete again.
September 13, 2008 at 7:27 am
Like most of you I am passionate about my family, testimony of Jesus Christ, friends, all my talents. Thanks
September 13, 2008 at 10:35 am
I am passionate about life! Each day is a gift (which, unfortunately, I sometimes squander!) My family, my friends, God . . . so many things to be grateful for! Makes every day an adventure! It’s been fun to run the comments. Thanks for suggesting that we share our passion. Helps to remind us what life’s blessings are!
September 13, 2008 at 11:22 am
I am passionate about my family and animals. I think we have done a good job of instilling a love of animals in my daughter, 21 months, who loves all shows with animals and we frequently visit the zoo or petting farms to assist her with learning more.
September 13, 2008 at 11:35 am
I am passionate about my job, stamping, country music, and my family & friends.
September 13, 2008 at 1:15 pm
My passion is definitely my family. I can’t imagine my life without them!!
September 13, 2008 at 1:19 pm
i am passionate about being a great mom to my kids, a loving wife, keeping my family close, setting a mood of creativity in my home, serving others around me, and loving life for what it gives me. everyday i look at my life and realize just how blessed i am.
September 13, 2008 at 1:34 pm
Besides my husband,children and reading books, I am passionate about recycling!
I am fortunate to live in a community that puts a strong emphasis on recycling. I am so happy that the elementary school is helping by teaching our kids the importance of recycling and by making a strong effort to practice what they preach. The school takes broken crayons, crocs, capri sun pouches, cookie packaging (oreos, 100 calorie packs…), etc and some of these items are sent to the manufacturer in exchange for cash for the school. Most of the time, my family of 4 only produces 1 bag of garbage to take to the curb each week, but you should see the recyle pile–it’s huge. Can you tell I’m passionate about this subject??
September 13, 2008 at 3:16 pm
I am passionate about God, my husband, my children, my country and STAMPING! And I love Papertrey!
September 13, 2008 at 4:47 pm
I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT MY FAMILY AND THEIR WELL BEING AND HAPPINESS.
September 13, 2008 at 5:21 pm
I too am passionate about my relationship with Jesus Christ, my Savior. I am passionate about my hubby, my kids and my beautiful grandbabies. What a joy they all give me each day.
September 13, 2008 at 7:52 pm
I am passionate first and foremost about Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. I am also passionate about being the best wife and mother that I can be. My husband and our 2 beautiful children mean the world to me.I also love to craft especially stamping and jewelry making.Thanks for the chance to win this great set!

I am passionate about life, my family and my garden oh and stamping. Thanks for sharing in the celabration.
September 14, 2008 at 1:10 am
My husband . Because he loves me and is very supportive. I am very lucky
September 14, 2008 at 3:16 am
I am passionate about living up to the example that my grandmother set for me. An incomparable woman and just one of the better of God’s creations, I will feel I’m a success at creativity if I accomplish only a portion of what she reaped from her zest for life. I have her encouraging me from beyond and it gives me joy to create something with her in mind each day.
September 14, 2008 at 5:59 am
My first passion is the passion of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, without whom I would have no life or passion. What a glorious privilege it is to share this passion! Next is my family! Such a wonderful example of His many blessings toward us! Thank you for sharing with us! And, for this wonderful opportunity!

My father was a music teacher. I was blessed enough to have him teach me as a child. He was a great teacher, and I learned a lot from him. I think I have touched a lot of peopleās lives through teaching. As a matter of a fact, I know I have. I am so proud of my students, and hope to always learn more so I can always teach more.
September 19, 2008 at 11:48 am
My commitment is to God, family and home. I enjoy teaching music to children, and love leading believers into the presence of God through the gift of worship. Also love this site:-)
