An Oldie but Goodie..

 I am Dusting off an 

Oldie but Goodie Banner 

thinking about Valentines Day 

Just around the Corner

Valentines Day.....Valentines Day?!

Oh My How time Flies! 

Remember when you were Little 

How time seemed to move as 

Slow as Molasses in January!

 (I can Hear my Grandpa 

Saying that in my Head!

He had so many 

Wonderful Metaphors

 like that.)

 

Well just in case I haven't already,

 Wished you a 

Happy New Year 

Well Then...

~ My Wish for us All 

in this Bright New Year

is that We are Always Surrounded 

by the People We Love 

and Hold Close to our Hearts;

And that we Find 

Peace & Happiness 

in the Everyday 

and that 

 Good Health & Prosperity

 Always Finds Us~

 Have a Wonderful Year!

O Christmas Tree & Some Wonderful News!

 I Know its not Quite Christmas Yet.. 

But I thought you Wouldn't Mind if 

I Shared These With You.

A While Back Jennifer Jackson

from Somerset Contacted me

 and asked  If I would Like to Submit 

a Piece for their Holiday Issue.

As My Mom would say..

' You could have Knocked me Over 

with a Feather!'

You see I have Never

 Had Anything Like this 

Happen to Me Before. 

Just a Couple of Years ago 

I would have Never Thought 

I would Be Published in a  Publication I Love 

or be a Guest Artist with Paper Whimsy!

 

 I am Still Pinching Myself and 

So Incredibly Grateful for 

All of these Opportunities.

 I Wrote this Article 

as a Tribute to my Dad.

My Love of Family, 

Tradition

& Christmas

Came from Him.

How I Miss Him.

These Are in My Etsy Store

For Anyone Who Might Be Interested.

Thank You For Letting 

Me Share with You!

Adore

 I have been playing around 

with the Idea of Creating a

Valentine Themed Banner 

so I finally decided 

to sit down this morning 

and Create.

This Little Vintage Sweetpea

stands on her own which 

makes Creating Easy.

I must say that it

Felt Good 

to Feel Inspired Again.

 I want to Thank Everyone for 

Their Kind Words regarding My Father.

I was so Touched by 

all that relayed their stories 

and the Prayers for my Family.

Thank you does not seem enough.

I am Grateful to Know You all.

I am joining Brag Monday
