Old Favorite





Isn't it amazing what you find when you clean up. I made this card about 3yrs ago and thought I had lost it but surprise....surprise it was somewhere safe all along. I'm always saying I can't find so and so, I must have put it somewhere safe !!! So now I know there is a place called Somewhere Safe, lol.
All stuff used is Retired SU.

Please send your prayers

Well today was a heartbreaking day for all of us here. My friend Jen lost two little girls in a fire this morning. Just a week ago we were all celebrating the birth of her new little girl and this Sunday we morn the death of her two oldest girls Kirsten and Katrina aged 7 & 6. They were having a sleep over at a friends and were upstairs sleeping when the fire broke out. I ask all my SCS and blogger friends to keep Jen and her other two little ones in your prayers.
I am also collecting cards for the family, if you would like to send one let me know and I will send you my address. My heart is just breaking for Jen , I wish I could do more. As a Mum I can only imagine what she is going through. God bless these wee angels.
