For All the Mothers in the world and in my life..............

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for always being the very best mother you know how to be!!

Now go and enjoy your day with your loved ones! But if you are like me and have to work on this special day just take a minute out of that busy day and think about yourself and give yourself a big pat on the back for raising those children for as long as you have, whether it be 8 hours or 18+ years!!!

A very special thank you to my mom for being the best mom in the whole world and an awesome grandma! I know I sometimes don't tell you enough, but THANK YOU!! for everything you have given to us kids. I'm glad you are my mom and I'm especially thankful you are still here on earth with us. I doubt you will ever see this but the world will know you are special to us!
A very special thank you to my daughter for making me the most proud and happy mama ever! Also, I want to thank you for helping to raise me up as well and letting me learn things right along beside you. I told you long ago that kids don't come with instruction manuals and we had to figure out how to make our way through life step by step together.  I'm so glad I got to walk side by side with you. Thanks for just being you, baby!! I LOVE YOU with all my heart, now and forever more!

A little RAK for a friend


This is a box I decorated and then made a tag book of "Friend" quotes and put it inside the box

Just wanted to pop in and give you a bit of an update as to my absence lately...



Sorry I've been absent from the blog lately. I've been extremely busy lately. I will have some things to show you in a couple of days that I have been working on. Then I will have another brief hiatus due to a couple of our nephews graduating from high school in the next couple of weeks, from one side of the state to the other. Then I should be able to get back to my form of "normal" around here! LOL!!!
I am hoping to have a couple of posts for you soon, though so please keep checking back or feel free to sign up for the email notices on the right side of this page at the top.
Thanks for being patient with me, see you soon!
