Blessed by Love

Day 2 - Thirty-seven years ago this Friday I met a man like no other I had ever known.  He is funny, kind, smart, and my rock. Today I am feeling blessed to know true, unconditional love. Being married to a mate with whom you can be completely at ease, and know that they love you (even when they've seen you at your worst), is the BEST possible gift in life!

Month of Gratitude

November is traditionally the month where our thoughts turn to the many blessings and riches we have in our daily lives.  While I am thankful every single day for the people, experiences, and love that enrich my life, this is the month that I try to express it. So, please bear with me as I attempt to post daily  throughout the month of November with something for which I am thankful.

Day 1 - So VERY thankful that my Christmas cards are finished, wooohooo! Less stress later this month!

SUOC31, Thinking of You

The challenge this week at SUO Challenges is to make a card that tells someone special that you're thinking of them. I loved ALL the cards the SUO Design Team made for this challenge, especially Robin's bright, cheery Daffodil Delight doily card.

When I thought of making this card, I thought of my BFF, and how much I'd love to sit and share a cup of coffee or tea with her. We do get the giggles when we get together, and I sure miss that. (Love you, Barb!)
