Every now and again...

someone special strolls into your life.

At our church there is an annual program that pairs up each child with an adult;

it's called "adopt-a-kid". The goal is to have someone they can each pray for, give a card to, and a million hugs, before long your families have grown to encompass the love of someone you might not otherwise have really gotten to know. 3 years ago Sienna was adopted by Miss Cleo.

(she so very much reminds me of my 'Nan' who is an angel) Our lives have benefited greatly from knowing and loving and praying for this amazing woman.

She has been in the hospital for over a week now, with her husband Mr. Ralph at her side.

If you believe in prayer would you please say one for Miss Cleo; she could use a bit of healing.

Merci!!

New this week at Paper Pretties





The challenge this Wednesday from Paper Pretties

is to use the following SKETCH...

Happy BIRD-day Miss Frances...

Happy BIRD-day to you!
Welcome to the party!
The girls at Paper Pretties are having one of their spectacular
Birthday Blog Hops in honor of ...
Miss Frances,
our awesome Design Team Coordinator for the Wednesday challenges.

The image I used was debuted a week ago Monday,

I missed out on creating with this feathered friend who was partnered with a friendly pirate.

I chose to showcase what would often be seen as a masculine image, even if for a child,

and put a girly girly spin on 'her'...

it's not pirate treasure that has her so excited;

it's diamonds and pearls and jewels, oh my!




Definitely Pretty in Pink!

It only would have been more suited for Miss frances had it been an OWL.

-I'll have to draw one before next year!

Cooking It Up With Katie “Animals with Colorful Buttons”
Belli Challenge “C” –crystal effects
The Paper Variety Tic-Tac-Toe (make a tag, spring colors, use a bird)

Thank You for hopping by!
Happy BIRD-day Miss Frances!
Enjoy!
