A cup of cocoa

I just love this image for the month at Imagine That. The beautiful sentiment is from TLC. My husband and kids love hot cocoa and they would have a system of making it. I just think winter hats like this are so adorable, but I can't see wearing it at my age.

Autumn days are here again

Well we are starting to get some cool weather so I think fall is finally starting to come. Fall is my favorite season because I love the colors. The only problems is that I have a lot of trees in my yard, and I do not like to rake.

Tongue of Toad

Paulette at TLC created this wonderful image that I just couldn't help coloring and then realized it would be perfect for the Purple and Green challenge. The paper is also from TLC. I outlined the pennant in Scarlet Stickles.

Sending you blessings

I made this card using Spellbinder leaves and the sentiment is from TLC. Tonight I went to the wake, for my friend's 33 year old son, and my heart goes out to any parent who has lost a child. Mike introduced me to his other son ,which I had not met since I only know the children that he has with my friend, but Mike was so broken up it was painful to watch. My friend Kris, his wife has had some health issues over the past few years and Mike has been remarkable about dealing with all of that even when she has been hospitalized and I have come over to help with wound care he has been very calm. I have had patients tell me that it is the worse thing to lose a child and it is a pain that I don't want to feel since having my husband in hospice is difficult enough. We had to wait a block down the street to get into the church this evening and then they had us sit in pews and go row by row. I think everyone in the small town was there to support the family. My leaves don't do justice to the beautiful bouquets of flowers and wreaths that were presented to the family as wonderful keepsakes. All I can do is to tell my children that "I love them.", because you never know what can happen in a blink of an eye.
