Stampin' Chez Moi

Austin is four...are you kidding!!!! Where did that time go...Austin is such a sweet boy ~ I can always count on a hug from him. When there is a family gathering, he will without fail, come and sit on my lap for a few minutes...oh Austin, don't ever stop doing that ~ you make me smile :-) xo Dean and I bought Austin some Jake the Pirate toys for his birthday and so I knew what I needed for his birthday card. With the loss of my dad during this time of celebrating Austin, I needed to do a CASE for his card...I really enjoyed putting this together...and I'm so sorry...I have no idea where I found this idea ~ so here is Austin's birthday day ~ and he was thrilled with his gift and his card too! Thanks for popping by ~ have a wonderful day! If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party I would love to come and stamp with you and your friends!! Or, if space is an issue, come here and create with me at one of my many clubs or classes! Dro

There are no words to describe the love I have for my father and the depth of my heart ache. Oh how I miss you Papa! The tears are never ending and I catch myself waiting to hear his voice and yet... knowing that my ears will not hear him call me ~ I never realized how deeply I would hurt in saying good bye to this beautiful man. And now, with tears streaming down my face, I try to get back to my new normal without my dad in my daily life. Dad was always so interested in what I was up to ~ whether is was another card for someone, or a knitting project that I was in the middle of, or sharing time with our children and grandchildren ~ Dad was apart of it all ~ and I hurt!!! On October 5, 2014 as I sat alone with my dad in the hospital, my hand resting on his face...I read this out loud to him... Isaiah 40:28-31 Do you not know?   Have you not heard?   The   Lord   is the everlasting   God,  the Creator   of the ends of the earth.   He will not grow tired or weary,
