Etsy for Haiti

(Photo from Rebecca Sower's blog)

I am a longtime follower of Rebecca Sower's blog. A few days ago I read a post and was so excited to hear more about her trip to Haiti in December.
Last night I learned of the destruction there and thought about the loved ones she left behind.
I assumed she would write of their hardships, the conditions they lived in. But now whatever they did have has been taken away and draws our eye to be forced to look.
Some people are built to withstand human suffering. I think that has been me for the first 23 years of my life.
I have been blessed with SO much! All I can do is feel with my heart that my love for God and the love I feel from him needs to be extended.

If you would like to make a purchase of anything in my Etsy shop. At the end of 3 days, ALL profits will be presented to Rebecca Sower and all of the Artists and family she has there.

I think in doing this it will show our caring for not only the Haitian people but also Rebecca's portfolio of artwork , it will show that we support their desire to create and it will make you feel really good. Above all it will give them hope.

Heartfelt Ephemeral Cards

My home searching is slow going. We have some hang ups as everyone does during the process. Of course we have to wait for someone to buy our home first and we are also part of a class action lawsuit that we are hoping will be settled very soon. Because of these things we have needed a sturdy and sensitive group around us who know the ins and outs of buying a home.

My real estate agent has given me so much of her time just explaining things, looking for homes, scheduling appointments and so on. She got married to a family friend recently and I wanted to give her a heartfelt gift. A handmade card so she would know how much I appreciate what's she's done for us so far.I don't really know what her favorite colors are or if she even likes pink but I used seam binding crepe paper frills to line the side of vintage paper to create a Wedding Card. Some calligraphy and scrapbook embellishments finished off the card.






Making this card gave me a little boost to create some Valentine Cards for my Etsy shop...

Making Christmas Cookies

It has taken a while to recover from December. I'm glad to finally sit down and write about some of our fun days throughout the holidays . These adorable photos are from our date with Grandma & Papa to make Christmas Cookies. Papa gets the dough all ready for us in the morning so it's ready to roll out when we get there. This was the first year any of the kids really got into cutting out the shapes and learning to roll the dough. As you can see Valoria insisted she wear her ballerina outfit. Which made for some adorable pictures.



In the end each family member filled up tubs with cookies of every sort.

Papa's Winter Garden

I had to share with you all the beauty that I get to encounter the whole holiday season. My family has been spending alot of time at Grandma & Papa's. Here is my Dad's gorgeous garden, dusted wtih some soft snow.
Just incredibly serene. Enjoy the lovliness that God and my Father have created together :)

Merry Winter &

Happy New Year!!!
