    P.S. I wish I lived next door to you, too. Well, maybe it would be better if you lived next to me. It's much warmer here and we never have to deal with snow!

You are such a sweetie to visit my blog with all that you have going on in your life. I'm so glad to hear you and Dave survived that first round of chemo well. Keep him busy doing the things he loves and spend every moment that you can with him. Our men are so special to us. If you have a moment come on over to my blog to see some serious snow removal. Love you!

  30. Congratulations on being published, you must be thrilled. I love the tag you made, it's beautiful. I love the Stampington family, too. I have quite a few of their issues. I keep all of them and pull them out when I need ideas for something I'm making. I'm glad that Dave did so well on his first round of chemo. I am a breast cancer survivor of 6 1/2 yrs. I didn't have chemo, just surgery and radiation. I hope he continues to do well. Just think positive thoughts!

  32. This is my first time to your blog, and it is gorgeous! I grew up in the Detroit area and traveled to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario often. So I saw a great deal of the UP. In fact, I am heading up there next week to see my new grandson.
    Congratulations on opening the mailbox and finding out you were published! Yea for you!

    Good news about your husband! My prayers are with you both during this healing time.
    Hugs,
    Terri

  33. Hi Kathy and Dave,
    What great news about Dave's first week of chemo.
    So glad he is doing so well. Praise the Lord!!

    So neat that your bookmark was published. It is so neat, I would really love to see a copy of that magazine. I am gonna have to go to one of the book stores to look for it. I am assuming it is the Feb. issue. That has to just be the most exciting and neat thing for you, isn't God's timing just amazing!!

    Will keep praying...........
    Does Dave go again next Monday???
    Have a great weekend,
    and you two have a totally wonderful Valentines day!! Love it up!! lol
    Blessings, Nellie

  34. I agree with all the other comments. You blog is very peaceful to come to and so glad that I can keep up on Dave's progress. Where do I find the magazine that you were published in? Also, did you get my earring? No hurry just want to make sure it did not get lost in the mail. Deb sent me a package an it took two weeks to get here! Must be because they couldn't get through all the snow! Praying Dave will continue to do well. Blessings, Joanne

  35. I stumbled upon your blog late last night, then I read about your husband ( mine was in the hospital on Christmas battling with that ugly C.)
    Then I read "Goodwill" & later "Spud Warehouse" ( can't go within an hour without making that important detour : ) & I thought "this woman & I could be great friends" : )
    I will be praying for you & Dave... I know how gut-wrenching it is to hold hands with the one you love, going thru this.
    AND Congrats on being published!!!
    In a devotional recently... " Whatever is over your head, is under HIS feet"

  37. You are one of the most talented people I've known. Congratulations on being published...no surprise to me, tho. Every thing you do is perfect!!
    I am so thankful things are going smoothly for Dave. I've sent about 3 emails to you but think they didn't ever get to you. ?? ANYway, just saying that my Bill has survived 4 life-threatening cancers, all with surgery, so believe in prayer...IT WORKS.
    love, bj
