Dear Kathy
ReplyDeleteI hope you are enjoying Easter, I'm glad to hear you are having lovely weather.
I pray all will go well with Dave and hope you are taking care of yourself too!
Lovely to see you have such a beautiful, loving family.

P.S. Your frame is genius!
Your frame is such a work of art, but that bike in your header really catches my eye. The old bike I purchased is waiting for a paint job. I haven't decided on the color, white or aqua. Maybe both!
ReplyDeleteYou, Dave, and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Blessings,
Cindy
Thankful for family time and Dave's chemo treatments going well. Prayers continue. Your mixed media frame is wonderful. Happy creating...
ReplyDeleteThe frame turned out lovely! I love mixed media and you are a pro at it!

Hi Kathy
ReplyDeleteI've been catching up on your posts I managed to miss. When I lived in Chicago, we used to go to Sagatuck several times a year. Such a pretty town I am happy to hear that Dave is doing well. I'll keep sending those prayers heavenward for him. Also glad to hear that you all had a nice Easter. The baskets, etc. were all so lovely. I'm sure all the kids were thrilled!
Hugs,
Tamerie
Thank you all for your prayers...We feel them.
ReplyDeleteMonique...I cannot for the life of me remember where the roses ribbon came from...
Have had it a while...if I ever see it again...Ill pick you up some...
Cindy....Please paint it Aqua...I saw one that color and it was wonderful!
Tamerie...Yes...Saugatuck! a fun artsie place!
Love to you all, xoxo~Kathy
Cute, cute, Kathy. Great job!
ReplyDeleteRobin
Hi Kathy, your so creative, the frame is wonderful...I wouldn't have thought of using clocl arms but it is awesome! I'm send prayers to you and your husband...I pray everything will go well with his chemo and for a quick recovery....Hugs, Jennifer
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy! Oh, good news about your hubby. He'll stay in my prayers for completely good results and for you, Dear One, to have peace.
ReplyDeleteLove your frame! You're the most creative one!
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
Hi Kathy:
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking what you did to that frame. What a knack you have for collage! I'm looking forward to seeing the end product. Thanks for sharing.
Also, prayers for your loved one...and that the test results show that the sickness has been driven away.
xoxo
Donna
Glad things are going fairly well for your dear hubby....love the frame...all the special touches...my kind of frame!
ReplyDeleteKathy, I love the frame that you've created here- you are so talented. I hope that all works out well with Dave's treatment. Life takes such twists and turns, but prayer certainly does make a difference, I am convinced. Please know my thoughts are still with both of you.
ReplyDeleteWe are still dealing with so much here on this end. PT and a strong will should result in some great strides. He is working on using one crutch and using the leg brace as a second crutch. All to try and build muscles that have atrophied. Also trying to put so me weight back on him. Who would've thought I'd be telling him to eat more? LOL
xoxo Sue
Good that you have a craft (or several) to busy yourself and you are so excellent at what you do! I know you are so anxious for hubby's chemo to be over and you and your precious one can get on with life. God bless you and Dave and prayers for his quick recovery!
ReplyDeleteThat is really beautiful! I like all the touches you've added!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great Easter- ours was just perfect- and thanks to the wonderful weather, we actually had a bbq!
Oh that sheet music frame is so awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you had a Happy Easter! I'm praying for those PET scan results!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week Kathy! give your husband a big hug from me..and don't forget yourself sweetie !!

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I love what you did with the frame, the images are perfect! Sorry I havent' been around much but I started back to school full time and with my part time job on top of that it doesnt leave me as much time for visiting. I keep Dave, and you, in my prayers though. I am so glad it sounds like everything is going well with his treatment. God is good! And yes, this weather is such a blessing!

Hi Kathy,
ReplyDeleteGreat project, it's just darling.
and as always my prayers are with you and your family....and most especially your hubby. :)
Love what you did with the frame! Love the clock hands! You are right, plethera is a great word. I'm going to have to start using it. Thanks for the update on Dave. Twyla
ReplyDeleteLove the frame you created! Hope all continues to go well with your husband and the test results come back with great news! Enjoy the beautiful weather!
ReplyDeleteDear Kathy,
ReplyDelete"Plethera" was also my husband, Patrick's, favorite word. He used it every chance he got and would smile when he used it. It just was a word that tickled him. He was a writer and words were his thing in life.
I DO love your blog~!
Mona
I'm new to your blog, but I know what it is to watch loved ones go through chemotherapy and hope against hope that all will be well. So far, we've been blessed.
ReplyDeleteI hope your husband will weather the last round well and get PET scan results that light up both your faces and give you many, many more years together.
=)
