The weather outside is frightful

So, instead I've been hanging out in my new stamp room. I recently moved from my large scraproom downstairs into a spare bedroom upstairs. I have to admit that I love it so much more. It's comfy and cozy.

The last several days have been miserable here in GA. We got snow on Sunday and then went down to a balmy 12 degrees with wind chills -2. Ouch. So, when all else fails make Christmas Cards. I need to finish up and get these in the mail otherwise people are going to be recieving their cards late.

I've decided to keep them simple for mailing purposes.

Here's the first. Snowie. Gosh I love this stamp.

Easel Card Box

This was my first time making one of these boxes and it literally took me all day to make this. Of course it didn't help that I everytime I thought I was finished, I'd find something else to add to it. lol

Anyways, this is for my girlfriend who has a birthday coming up in a couple of days. I'm going to fill the boxes with little scrapping goodies and maybe a maggie or two. I really hope she likes it.

Thanks for stopping by and for all the wonderful comments that have been left on my blog. It really makes my day and puts a smile on my face. Have a wonderful day!

Last Christmas Card of the day

I'm so proud of myself. I actually finished 3 cards today. Woohoo!!!!!!! Here is the last one.

A card for a new friend

I wanted to keep this card rather simple as it is for a special woman that I met on the support group that I've been going to. She lost her 24 year old son on the same day that I lost my daughter. We've really formed a close friendship over the past 2 months. This is the Christmas card that I did for her. The message on the inside of the card simply reads "Angels are watching over us."

I really hope that she likes it. Oh and if you could spare an extra prayer for her as well, I would appreciate it. Her name is Anita and her sons name is Davey. Thanks for stopping by.

A new card

Ok, I must admit that I am so glad that Thanksgiving is over. The entire family was here for the holidays and I'm glad to get my house back in order. I enjoyed having everyone here as it was somewhat of a distraction but also made me miss Cindy that much more. I guess the one thing that I can say is that I'm thankful for my family and friends who have really been a godsend.

Anyways, here is a new card that I made with the adorable Snewwy. I think this has got to be my absolute favorite stamp. Ok, well next to the adorable Angel stamp that Lisa A generously sent to me. I plan on making cards with that one for the people that were closest to Cindy. Haven't come up with the card idea yet.

Halloween Card for my Niece

I started this card before my daughter's accident and came close to throwing it away but I thought maybe it might cheer up my niece who has been struggling with Cindy's death. I know that it doesn't take the pain away, but even if it makes her smile for a second then it's worth it.

My husband is gone for the next 4 days on business, so I thought maybe I'd try and get some cards done. I have a ton of thank you cards that need to be made.

As always, hug your children and let them know everyday how much you love them. God Bless!

My Angel

I wanted to post a message to my online friends to let them know that on September 24th my beautiful daughter was killed in a car accident on her way to school. I'm sorry that it took so long to post this but saying the words meant that it would be real and I just wasn't ready to face that yet.

I have received some emails and I know that I have not responded to them as of yet but please know that I appreciate all of the kind words and prayers. Cindy was only 23 and going to school to be a RN. She was probably the kindest, gentle soul that I know and it's still hard for me to believe that she's not here with me.

Her service was absolutely beautiful and that provided some comfort. I spoke with the pastor for some time during the week before her service. He was very kind and just sat and listened to different stories about Cindy and her life. Alot of those stories were used in her service. That I am very grateful for.

I'm doing better, not good just better. I miss her smile and her "I love you momma's". I know that I'm a strong person and will make it through this but there is one very good lesson to be learned here and I know it's been said a million times. Make the most of each day with your children. Let them know everyday how much you love them. I know I did that with Cindy and I don't doubt for a second that she knew this beyond a shadow of a doubt but I still see people around me that don't. They assume they have all the time in the world and you just never know.

Rest in Peace my sweet baby girl. You were an Angel here on Earth and now your one of God's Angels. I love you so much.
