I'm smiling......the Christmas spirit meter has just maxed out.......Tell your grandson he should be proud of him, because I am too.
the best Christmas ever

His dad lives in another state and he didn't want to go there. The adults got involved and are making arrangements to allow Josh to stay here to finish his school year. Paul said simply; "Nobody should be alone". Bless his good heart, he made sure that Josh knew his friends would be his family, today, tommorrow, and forever. I think he will be spending next week with us until all the details can be worked out. Just another Christmas Miracle

Here is the applique peacock feather I designed do you like it Robert if you dont think it goes with your vision thats fine. That is not the fabric for the background it was just a trial. The other one is my husband and my granddaughter catching snowflakes on our back deck.

I need to tell you the story of her coat. My grandmother gave me a coat like that that she wore when she was a teenager then I wore it then my daughter wore it I still have it so Cabrynna can wear it but that one reminded me of it so I bought it when she was a baby. They arent real fur but its amazing its still in great shape and can be worn another generation.

I just love the picture of trying to catch snowflakes with her tongue. The coat is great and it will probably end up as a wonderful memory for her as well as you. Merry Christmas!

I am so very proud of him. Every time I think he can't do anything else, he surprises me. And his surprises always seem make someone elses life richer.
