Easter Wishes



Well the past couple of days I've spent trying to get my house in order. My 20 year old niece is coming to live with me. She's had a really rough life so far. So she asked if she could come to GA and is on her way right now. She'll be here in an hour. That means trying to get her room set up so that she'll be comfortable. I'll be honest I'm excited and scared at the same time. I really hope that I can help her but I haven't been in the best frame of mind. They say the best way to help with the grieving process is to try and help others and I'm choosing to believe that we can help each other. If you could say a prayer for both of us, I would really appreciate it. It's going to be an adjustment for everyone but I think we'll be ok.

Anyways on to the card. I got to spend a little time creating a new Easter Card. I found this gorgeous paper and just couldn't wait to do something with it. This is a card for my Mingle partner so hopefully she's not looking. lol I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

    What a beautiful card! I am sure it will work out with your niece and how nice of you to let her come and live with you. Maybe a new stamping partner. I have not received my candy yet but as soon as I do I will let you know. I just didn't want you to think I had not thanked you.

    Hi Julie, your card is beautiful, so sweet and pretty, just perfect.
    I just popped over to thank you for entering my birthday candy, apologies it's taken me so long it's been hard to keep up with everyone.
    I'm glad I stayed and made myself at home here for a while, your blog is absolutely gorgeous Julie.
    I am so sorry to learn of your tragic loss of your beautiful angel, I can't image your pain and to be totally honest I wouldn't want to, the thought is just unbearable.
    I hope things work out with your niece, I'm sure with your love and guidance it will and you will probably help each other without even realising
    big hugs Mandy xx
