A Season to be Thankful!

Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards / /

The leaves are turning and soon it will be fall. My life has been blessed with an amazing husband, two great kids and many wonderful friends. While everyday is an opportunity to be grateful for our blessings, fall just brings on that hope of a new season and the anticipation of sharing a Thanksgiving meal with loved ones. If you have not had the chance to get out to the pumpkin patch, you can enjoy some stamped pumpkins from the Gather Together stamp set. It is such a great fall set with so many possibilities. Wishing you all well. Stamping Hugs and Blessings!

Sunday Wisdom-1

Sunday Wisdom /

My prayer today if for all who are suffering, especially those who feel alone. Lord grant us wisdom to act with kindness. If we lack wisdom about certain things in life, then just ask God. Get to know Him intimately, and trust Him to give knowledge, wisdom and understanding. We will encounter a lot of different people in our life time. God’s Word instructs us to love and treat strangers of other cultures with respect. It is never too late to share the love of Christ with others. Remember, regardless of how insignificant we feel our God-given talents are, we must walk worthy, using our gifts to glorify God and build up Kingdom of heaven.  As Mother Teresa so lovingly stated, “If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”  Have a blessed day!

Happy Fall Y’all!

2 Comments / Fall-Halloween-Thanksgiving Cards /

While we are only 75 days away from Christmas, we are still in the Fall season and I love fall. I love the colors of the leaves and the crisp cool mornings. Here in St. Louis we get a lot of humidity, so the fall coolness is always a welcome treat. And speaking of treats, you have to love those caramel apples, the fresh apple cider and of’ course homemade applesauce. My Grandma Dorothy made the best homemade apple sauce, God rest her soul. To tell the truth once I had her homemade goodness I was never able to have store bought applesauce again. She also made the most amazing pumpkin squares and homemade caramel popcorn. Maybe I love the fall treats as much as the cool weather. Here is a fall treat for you. I hope you enjoy. I made this card using the Harvest Hellos #150581 in our annual catalog. This is a great set and one that IMHO is overlooked. Get your fall juices going and create something fun today. Stamping Hugs and Blessings!

Tis the Season….well Almost!

Christmas 2020 / / ,

Yes, that is right folks…..the weather is getting cooler here in St. Louis and while Halloween is just around the corner, it is time to think about planning out your Christmas Cards. There are just 76 days until Christmas. It is not time to break out the decorations just yet, but I think now more than ever we all need a little holiday cheer and we definitely need to bring back the tradition of mailing out Christmas cards. What could be better than receiving a homemade card in the mail….gotta love it!

Here are a few cards that I created using the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper and the For Unto Us stamp set. Hope you enjoy. Stamping Hugs and Blessings!

Those two magic words!

Thank You / /

It doesn’t take much effort to thank someone and yet, that could very well be the best part of their day. Whenever we take the time to acknowledge the efforts of someone else, not only are their spirits lifted, but ours as well. My husband and I always tried to instill a sense of gratitude in our children, first to our Lord and Savior, but also to others for the gifts they often bring to the table. It is never too late to send a thank you and one can send a note of thanks for almost anything, including a valued friendship. So go ahead and copy this card and send a thank you to someone today.

The paper I used to create this card is from the Flowers for All Seasons Designer Series pack. There are 48 6×6 sheets and I love them all. The greeting is from Butterfly Gala. Shop Now! Hope you have a blessed day and enjoy creating to share with others.

These cards are definitely going to two very special people in my life. Check out all the other wonderful paper choices in this pack and did you notice there are 24 sheets in this pack!

Forever in our hearts!

Get Well & Sympathy /

A dear friend of mine had to put her dog to sleep yesterday so I was hoping this card would help her to know that it is not silly to miss our furry friends, after all they are a part of our everyday lives and forever in our hearts. We had to put our cat “Fireball” to sleep several years ago and it was very hard to say good-bye even though we know it was the best for him. He was with us for 16 years! For all our beloved furry friends who are having a blast in doggie heaven with St. Francis.
