Welcome, it's Wednesday already and we are having a beautiful day.  Love that it is light so much earlier in the day. That will come to an end on March 8 as we go on daylight savings time !!!!

It's the day we share our workspace as Ms Julia at the  STAMPING GROUND hosts our little gathering. Anyone can play along.

My desk:  cleaned off and ready to make a few birthday cards.  His aunt will be 100, so have to get a few ideas for mailable cards.  

The post previous to this shows some things I have finished.  Rolodex cards and Swap postal cards.  

Thanks to all who stopped by with special visits last week.  I truly hope to visit all this week. 
Enjoy a great week.

Oh so Welcome.   I am happy to partake today. A snow storm my hubby is cleaning up after and I didn't have to take time to make him lunch.  

It's Wednesday the day we share our desks, Ms Julia (HERE) will let you visit and partake

I want to say THANK YOU to all who left Condolences about the passing of my Mother. One week ago today I had a feeling I needed to go visit.  9 am  when I arrived I knew there was a big issue.  At 10:50  she took her last breath.  You know that "GUT" feeling  always give in to it.
I am so thankful I was there with her.

Your support and kinds words are so appreciated. I will truly miss her.  I don't know what it will be like to go to the neighboring town for groceries and not stop to see her.  My post below this has her Obituary.

We are delaying a "Celebration of her Life" until the weather turns nice.  Too many have very long distances to travel.  And she would have wanted us to all be together. 


I played catch up for Jan/Feb on the Take 3  collage challenge with a FB group Vintage Gluebooks

My desk 2 workspaces:

 This one seems kind of a drop area...A luscious journal I ordered on etsy from Belarus, Some new LARGE numbers and stamps I plan to use making a master board.  

The real work space moved to the table on the left and I love my Tonic glass mat.  Working on mini collage Rolodex cards.  Thank you for the comments left on last posting. 

Thank you for stopping by  May you have a great week.

MOTHER, My Special Valentine

It is with a saddened and heavy heart, this Valentine's Day that I share with you my Mother's Obituary


Her OBIT is here  "A Very Special Mother"  added photos and tributes.

My family was Blessed with a Very Special Lady.  Always a smile, always encouragement, giving up her time for anyone she knew might need it.  A Beautiful soul, left our world February 12 2020 about 10:50 A.M.   And I was so privileged to be with her. holding her now frail little hand.  The hand that touched many with true LOVE and RESPECT.

Treasure people who come your way. No one knows if you will ever see that person again.
I was fortunate and blessed


God's Blessings

Welcome to my blog and THANK YOU to all who left messages from last weeks posts. 
Ms Julia is our hostess and she encourages new people to join up with the sharing of your desks on Wednesday. HERE will get you the info.

We spent Friday/Saturday visiting my son and his family in Cedar Rapids about 3.5 hrs away.  We were finally able to do our Christmas, attend Camyrn's Jr. Varsity and Varsity basketball games Friday night and Cael's district swim meet Saturday. My daughter in law was diagnosed with a blood clot in her lung, so was somewhat resting. Was a beautiful sunny day and a fun trip home. 

My desk

Some purchases from Tuesday Morning's new store. It was on our way to my grandson's swim meet...SO I had to stop. Oh how I wish I was closer to that area.  So much to do.  The city is thriving and easy to get around.  

 And this was delivered, my new Tonic glass desk mat. I will be able to use it soon I hope.  

Spending as much time as I can with my Mom...there have been no changes. But I know she can hear.  My brother was able to be with here on Saturday while I was away and I know she would have been so pleased. He has a 4 hr trip to visit. 

Wishing you all the best and enjoy your WOYWW. I'll try to make some visits this week, getting use to my new phone.

Here it is time for the Sharing of the Workspaces, Ms. Julia HERE Welcomes one and all.


My desk shows the making of some post cards for a swap I have coming up. Theme "HOME"I will post 4 finished next week. 

 Some journal / gift giving envelopes made from a past calender

Short and sweet.  Lack of sleep and lots of stress. Monday night we were called to the nursing home, as my mother had some sort of a medical issue and was unresponsive.  I spent most of Tuesday with her.They moved her to a private room and hospice has been called.  She cannot swallow, or talk. Not focusing with her eyes and was put on oxygen. I did have 20 minutes with her awakening about 5 PM and new that she could hear me, her eyes would blink, she positioned her hand to be by her eye and loved having me hold it. Will see what today brings. We have been blessed having this special person in our lives for so long and now it is time to pray and prepare ourselves for her peace.
