Winter frost.. and new listing on Etsy

When I opened my window shade this morning this is the frost that was on my window. Living in a older home and cold Wisconsin weather makes for frosty windows. I just thought it was a really neat design and wanted to share with you.

I listed some new items on Etsy this morning. Hearts... and Shamrocks... I started to work on a new template background last night and maybe by the end of the weekend I will post it to share with you all. That is my plan but you know how weekends have a way with plans changing. Hope your all having a great weekend and stay warm. Colleen

Mom is doing well...Thank you!

I just wanted to post that Mom is doing well. Her surgery went ok. Now it is rest and healing. It is good to have that much over with and we will be going to Dr's next week to move forward. Thank you all for the prayers! I have been cleaning out my craft space and I need to craft instead of clean so I pulled out the sewing machine and sewed for awhile.I started some hearts and hope to be able to list them tomorrow. It feels good to craft again. I will be back to cleaning tomorrow. Colleen

My week ahead..and My Mom

It is Monday and back to school for the kids, and back to work for me. I am cleaning up my craft room so I can start some new projects soon. It just might take awhile to get that room back together. I am thinking of taking before and after pictures to share with you all. Just have to warn you it is a mess! I want to ask all my friends and blogging friends if you could add my Mom into your prayers. She is having surgery tomorrow. It is for cancer. This is a picture from her birthday last May...she turned 83. Not sure where this road with my Mom with take me and my family but I know that God will be right along side walking with us. Take care everyone Colleen

Happy New Year Everyone!

Wishing all of you a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year. Colleen

Merry Christmas

In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. All went to their own towns to be registered. Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there the time came for her to deliver her child.And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddlding clothes and laid him in a manger , because there was no place for them in the inn. In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them , and the glory of the Lord shone around them. The angel said to them " Do not be afraid; for see I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped swaddlding cloth and lying in a manger," And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying " Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace on those on whom his favor rests!" Merry Christmas everyone. I wish for all of you the joy and happiness of the season with family and friends. Colleen

One Christmas program ...one more to go

I can't believe that christmas is almost here. Been busy cleaning up some of the crafting mess that was all over the house , christmas cards, trying to keep up on all the things happening with the kids at school, and all the day to day things . Andrew had his school christmas program and it was nice to sit and watch . I could just relax and enjoy it. Andrew is the second boy , with the dark "Mario" shirt on. It is fun to watch these kids really get into singing the songs. I was the only one able to attend Andrew's program this year but we all will be attending Erika's next week. I hope you all are enjoying the days up to Christmas. Colleen
