Christmas Time with Our Peeps!

What a mix of emotions this Christmas ~ Marc, Chars & Oliver flew in on Christmas Day and we shared the richest, jam pack, super fun family times together and yet my heart ached for my mother...it was SO hard to celebrate Christmas without my dad ~ this roller coaster ride is so hard to travel! I am constantly reminded of the Words spoken in 

John 16:33 ‘I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.’ and in Matthew 28:20, we are reminded ... I Am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. 

I do take comfort in these words ~ God is So Good!

So here is just a little snap of our time together...I really enjoyed playing on MDS once again...between our big move and then hospital visits....I haven't played in about 6 months ~ what great fun I had ~ thanks ladies for the MDSM95 challenge, this was great therapy for me today ~ there is still time to play along, so jump on in and join in the fun!  Here is my page...wow...blessings galore ~ 7 grandchildren, 6 amazing adults, a wonderful husband and a beautiful mother...I am blessed!


Thanks SO much for popping in today ~ have a blessed day ~ Happy New Year!!!

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! Drop me a line for further info! I'd love to meet you! Enjoy your day!

    Really beautiful page and great memories. I lost my dad last year right before Christmas, so I think I understand the roller coaster of emotions you're going through. It's so hard to see your mom without your dad. Thank goodness for a strong family to support each other!

Hello friends and I want to wish you a Blessed Happy New Year!!!  A year filled with love, hope and peace!!! And I want to welcome you here, to the first Technique Tuesday of the year.  The call for this Technique is using the Brayer!  Oh boy, I haven't used my Brayer in years...so here we go!! Did you see this new Embossing Folder?  It's from the new Adoring Hearts Bundle and wow!!! what a Bundle this is, we have the Stamp Set, Embossing Hybrid Folder, and the Dies, that work with the Embossing Folder.  So whenever you have an Embossing Folder, that is Hybrid, well, that means you Die Cut and Emboss at the same time...Easy Peasy and AMAZING!!! So what I did was, with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp Pad, I inked Brayered the inside of the Embossing Folder, then carefully laid the Die into the Embossing Folder, placed a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White CS, into the folder!  Ran that through my Cut & Emboss Machine and voilà Stampin Dimensionals behind these sweet ...
