My little Grandchildren have been getting there little surprises out of the Advent Calenders that I made a few years ago. They are so excited about Christmas! There is nothing like seeing Christmas through the eyes of little Children. Wishing everyone a Very Merry Christmas and let's remember the True meaning of Christmas!

Card for Lucas and Juno!

Wanted to Share a Card with you that I just made for a little Boy named Lucas. Lucas is 4 years old and has MPS a Terminal Illness. Juno his Service Dog was found at the Animal Shelter by Lucas's Dad. Just hours before she was to be put down. Lucas's Dad trained Juno and now Lucas and Juno has an Inseparable bond. I thought he would enjoy this Christmas Card. Thought Mickey and Pluto kind of looks like Lucas and Juno. If you would like to send Lucas a Card,here is the Address.

In Memory of Stephanie

Wanted to Share a Sympathy Card that I just made for Stephanie's Mom and Dad. Stephanie was from my hometown and her Aunt and I went to School together. Awhile back Stephanie was in a Accident,where the Truck she was driving went off of the road and Struck a Tree. She has been on life support. But there was no Brain waves. A few days ago,the Doctors took her off all of the machines and she held on until early this morning. Would appreciate for all of you to please pray for Stephanie's two girls and the rest of her family.

    
                                                                             

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
... to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

Hello Everyone! It's really late at night and I can't believe that I am still up. Our Town had It's Trick or Treating tonight. So I spent the day getting ready for Trick or Treaters. This year my Grandson was a Star Wars Storm Trooper and my Grand Daughter was a Princess. They looked Adorable. They Loved the Halloween Cards that I made them. My 4 year old Grand Daughter said. This Card is so Special to me, I will keep it forever. It was just Precious.  Wanted to Share a Project with you that I finished tonight. It's a Christmas Luminary that I made for my Mom's 76th Birthday coming up in a couple of Weeks.
