On Christmas Break

I have been pretty "to myself" regarding the events that took place last Friday. Really only speaking to God on the subject.

I find myself confused, saddened and blessed all at the same time - emotions running wild.

I really don't want to comment other than to say that we are praying for those families who lost their blessings that day. We have decided to take a break from our normal routine and incorporate more family time and FUN into our final days of 2012.

I will be back in the New Year to hopefully encourage and inform you!

Blessings to you and your family.

Well said, Melissa. Enjoy the season. I have also focused more on the kids since Friday. I plan on doing that going forward everyday!

My dear friend - I hope you have spent a lot of time with your family. This is a great post - there really aren't any words, except to honor our families and pray for the victims' families.

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!
