A Bit of Free Time...Sort of

I have a bit of free time before I need to fix supper, so I decided to post a couple of things I have been working. 

Sometimes sympathy cards are hard to create.  I want to send
something special, but with the person in mind.   
This is a card I made in a card club.  Kathy, you are the best demonstrator!
Your group loves you!  This will be Son #1's card for this year...
...he is turning 30 in February! (no spoilers here, he NEVER
reads my blog!)
This is the card I created for Grandson E's birthday.  It is one of
the new sets from the Stampin' Up! Occasions catalog.
I thought this fit our family perfect since we still have
nine of the fourteen children living at home! 
This card was created from an idea I had seen on
Jan Tink's blog. 
This is my ministry card for the month.  So far I
have 43 of these made.  I have 15 more to finish.

I am thinking I may have already posted this one previously.
I love the brayer-ing technique! (Thank you Michelle Zindorf
for so many ideas! You were a great teacher!)

This one is my favorites.  Daughter #7, age 10, made this for
Grandson E's birthday last week.  It was her creation start to finish.
I showed her how to water color with my water color crayons and
she was on her own.  She was so proud her card.  She said,
"I'm just like Mom. I think that is a good thing, right?"

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!

Remembering Mom

  Eleven years ago, today, my mom entered the gates of heaven.   My heart still breaks, hurts, and grieves.  But I know I will see her one day.  It seems like it has been a lifetime.  My youngest was only 6 1/2, now she is 17 1/2, a senior in high school and trying to choose between two colleges.  My oldest was 26 with young children and now is 37 and his crew is growing up too quickly!   My oldest grandchild was 6 and now is 17 and a senior in high school.  My youngest grandchild was only 6 weeks old and now is eleven.  Eight of my thirteen grandchildren have been born since that day.    Mom Mom's Viewing My children, taken about 6 weeks before  Mom died. I miss you, Mom!
