Hi Everyone. Happy Tuesday. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that those of you living down south - and that includes you Colleen - are safe from the terrible storms that have whirled around you. Here in the Northern Suburbs of Minneapolis we have been spared much of the terrible weather. The only thing we have is a lovely carpet of snow on the ground.

So, that's exactly what I did :-) I stamped two of the flowers with Cherry Cobbler and then stamped... Read more →
Hi Everyone. Happy Wednesday. Sometimes the human spirit astounds me. amazes me. transpires all odds. fills me with awe. The story of a young girl who wanted to fill up her Christmas tree holder caught my attention, but when I read the story this little 8 year old left a lasting impression on me.
