A Cheerful Thank You

I'm a wee bit down from my previous post.


I really wanted to acknowledge Abby the rat's condition (Amanda asked if I was going to let you know, since Abby was pictured on my very first post).


I thought doing it BEFORE she died would be easier for me.


It's still sad and painful.





One day I'll let Amanda read it, when she asks again.



But, for now, I thought a cheerful card to display would help.


It would cheer me up look at it, anyway.




Crafting and focusing on blessings is positive for me.



It's my coping mechanism.


We've got a wonderful youth pastor and his wife to thank.



They go over and beyond for our church's teens.


Recently they gave up their WHOLE DAY to take them to a theme park that was 3 hours away.



Good grief.



How many people you know would step up to do that?


I can barely stay awake the whole day AT HOME, let alone drive for 3 hours; spend the day at a theme park; drive back 3 hours.



I was thinking of the grownups that ENTIRE day.


I prayed for them, that God would give them strength. ;)


My two older girls got to go, and they had a blast.




It's not much, but it's the least I could do.


Embellish's Challenge colors are gorgeous. 



I was so excited to see the first two colors.







I had the butterfly frame sitting on the pink rectangle piece for a week or so.  
I really liked the combo and was hoping to use it soon!



The Sweet Stop's 120 sketch also made me hopeful. ;)











Thanks for stopping in to take a peek. ;)

Missing You in So Many Ways

I must be healing.


I was able to make a card for my friend to send her deployed husband...



without crying my eyes out.



Thank You Jesus!




It's really a blessing, when I don't get emotional about deployed soldiers...


so much so that I CAN'T DO ANYTHING for them.


It's about time I made cards for my friends!





I stamped the background with my largest clear acrylic block.


That's right, no stamp, just the block.  One spritz of water after inking up, and you have a handmade background.







Thanks for peeking in today. ;)
