The calm after the storm..weather is really wild all over our country. Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Hail, High Winds. Our little town had high winds Monday night which called for cleanup of lots of downed trees and many branches.
If you are wondering about WOYWW it is number 116 and a fun way Julia at the Stamping Ground has created that you can list your blogspot, visit others and view lots of fun things and great people. She has something interesting today NO PICTURES..well cute little quips about it. Computers are great but sure can give frustrations when we can't get them to work.
I haven't yet went back to challenges or making much, but hope to do so after some encouraging words from a great blogger friend. My desk has been abandon but the picture shows I FINALLY received my secondhand rubber stamps, after waiting since 7/4. My laptop is in the black case and the little cigar box....well some fall fun. Guess I'll clean up a bit and organize my fall stamping things and get back to it...
My intentions with the stamps was to make a card for one of the Helicopter Crash victims Aug 6 in Afghanistan, a U.S. Navy Seal. His body returned home to a town 40 miles east of here but the stamps did not arrive in time. So I found a card with a verse that stated "His Sacrifice will Live on Forever in the Hearts of all Who Cherish Freedom". 1600 attended his services in a little town of 700 approx. I pray his family will find peace from their loss and know that his sacrifice for our country is in the hearts of many. They can be so very Proud of their son.
Enjoy your WOYWW, have fun and praying you are all safe from the upcoming storms.

I live near to a little town called Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire where all the fallen UK servicemen are repatriated too. Each time a funeral cortege passes through the town, the whole place comes to a standstill as people pay their respects. No-one told them to do this, it just happened. Recently the Queen bestowed the honour of adding the word Royal to their placed name - hence Royal Wootton Bassett - as a thank you for the consideration shown by the townspeople towards those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. xx
Sylvia, Beautiful card, most beautiful post. Our craft group is involved with a program called www.operationwritehome.org We make cards for soldiers to share with their families. If you or your group is interested, cards are ALWAYS needed. Again, thanks for sharing your creation and our love goes out to the families of all the men and women serving our great country. Our prayers go out to each of the soldiers for a safe tour of duty and a quick return home.
I love your space today and the things you are doing. Such a lovely to send a card to the family of a lost one. Hugs to you my friend!
Great space today and thank you for sharing your creations and your story.
Happy WOYWW
