Dealing with death....

It was time this weekend to discuss death of a loved one with the children. My Uncle Jim passed away on Friday night from a 9 month battle with Cancer.  He is my father's brother and we were close to him.  This week will be hard but we will all get through it as a family. 

This is a picture from my wedding - Uncle Jim and Aunt Dot - praying for her and my cousins. 

I will be back at the end of the week sometime with some school fun stuff -but for now, we will be pulling the hugs in tight.  

Hope your week is special in someway and don't let the minutes, days or weeks slip you by

Be Blessed!

Prayers for you and your family. We too are expecting a death, my Mother. It has been a long three years and it is time for her to be with God. I will miss her.

I am so sorry to hear this, Melissa.

My uncle, with whom I am really close, is battling cancer for three months now. It's so hard to watch someone you love suffer.

I will keep you and your family in my thought and prayers.

Little crafting for Spring

I seem to be in a crafting rutt lately so I needed to get my Spring crafting mojo going...I did something real simple that satisfied me for now... I turned this Goodwill frame $ 1.99 Into this... Using this paint My hot glue gun, some sandpaper, piece of scrape burlap, some moss from the Dollar Tree and a few of the little robin eggs I bought at Pottery Barn a few weeks ago.  I think it's cute and will find a home for it!
