Belated Valentine's

It is a great thing that "love" is not based on getting Valentine's out ON Valentine's Day.  If it did, boy I failed BIG time!!!  I had very good intentions on getting Valentine cards made for each offspring and hubby.   Well, I did!  Only four of them got them before Valentine's Day.  Those lucky four were the four oldest with homes and families of their own.  The other ten offspring, {those still in the nest}, and Hubby, did not get theirs until Thursday...three days after Valentine's Day!!  Here is a picture of the ones I made for those still at home.  Sorry...I did not even think about taking pictures of the ones I sent to the older ones! 

The pink for the Fair Maidens
The black/red for the Knights in Training
(of course, you already knew this, right?)

 They are not fancy, but were made with lots of love!  I used Stampin' Up! bird punch, label punch, cardstock, designer paper and crystal accent for the eye.  The ribbon was what I had, not SU!  (I will have to post a picture of Hubby's "card" later.  Daughter #2 did the download of the picture and I was working on his.)

My Mother's Gentle Love

My Mother's Gentle Love by Ron Hamilton Who puts a band-aid on my knee? Who holds me close so tenderly? Who always sees the best in me? There’s no one like mother. Who always wipes my tears away? Who tells me I’ll be great some day? Who cares in such a gentle way? There’s no one like mother. My mother’s gentle love, my mother’s gentle love Has taught me of God’s tender care, and turned my eyes above. I’ll bless her all my days for all her gentle ways. Oh, how I thank my Lord above for my mother’s gentle love. Today is my mother's viewing, and tomorrow is her funeral.  The song above so much describes my mom.  She loved her four children so very much!  Before she had children, she was a nurse for "special care" babies~~"old" term for NICU.  Once she started having children she gave  up her career to stay at home and raise her own babies. Thanks, Mom! Thank you, Daddy, for allowing Mom to stay at home and raise us four children! My mother and her mo...

Life....

Busy.  That seems to describe life in our home.  Just day to day busy.  Nothing really noteworthy.  Life moves on.   Let me think, since I last posted.... well, let me back up to about a month before my last post.  Daughter #6 got married in October of 2022...today Son #7 got married.  So, I have gained another son and another daughter! Our youngest graduated from high school in May and our oldest grandchild graduated the following day!  From our oldest child to our youngest, we have 33 years of education. (I'm tired just thinking about it!!) Still only 13 grandchildren.  Hubby is still in education.  I keep things going on the home front.  I help out the families where and when needed.  I still make cards for the card ministry that I have been doing for 19 years.  I still crochet.   That about sums up life at this point.  Have a wonderful day!
