Senior photos!







Good evening bloggers. I thought I would drop by and let you all know I have been a busy little lady. My oldest son will graduate in May! Where has the time gone? I am so very proud and yet, so very sad. So, long story short, I will be card making again soon. I leave you all with a few pics of my boy (young man).



I pray you all are blessed. Linda

Baby Autumn



Good evening! I am posting today after a very long week. I am just about worn completely out. I am typing to get a post in and to relieve a little stress. My weekend started on Thursday with news that sweet baby Autumn had been stillborn. Autumn was the baby of a friend of mine. He was going to have full custody of Autumn because her mother did not want her. Then he received the news she was 2 months early and stillborn. My heart wept for him!! I know he really wanted to be a daddy again. When Friday rolled around I thought things would be better.
Much to my surprise I found out a young girl 15 years old has went missing. She was walking to the library on Thursday..school clothes and back sack. No one has heard from her or seen her.
I kept thinking to myself what else could go wrong? Well, I should have never ask. We woke up Saturday with water heater problems. uurrggghhh!!! Iwas just about to break, when I realized I had to pull it all together. There was so much work to be done.
I have not been in the best of health. I have been struggling with my 18 year old over grades. He has honestly been grounded since January. My youngest is going thru the 'do I have to shower stage'! Really???? Why do boys think that they don't need showers? I had 3 sisters and we lived for showers. We couldn't get clean enough! But I promise it is like he wakes up in a new world each day and seems to forget that hygiene is a MUST!

So now since I have vented a little I will tell you about my card. As you know I made the card for my friend. I used the colors he had put in a tattoo (her name) about a month ago. I wanted him to see a smiling baby girl. On the inside of the card I wrote a special poem for him. I tried to write it as if Autumn was speaking to him. And today(Sunday) I delivered it. One of the hardest things I have ever done in my life.
I seen in his eyes my words had touched him... I felt better and sad at the same time.
I am praying this coming week showers me with blessings. I need a few right now.
Have a good week!
Later, Linda

March

Welcome to March!! I will be back to creating cards and I will also be making scrapbook pages.
I have been sick and took a small break. I am much better now and I am ready to get my 'craft' on...lol.
Psalm 37:39 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Have a good evening, Linda
