  10. I agree with you. What did we do before blogging? Love all your beautiful things! I get so many ideas from reading blogs that my head is spinning. I have started keeping a notebook with all my ideas in it that I see. I can't remember everything. And I love getting new recipes to try also. The greatest thing about blogging is all the sweet friends, like you, that I have had the pleasure to pray for and get to know. I feel like I am blessed to have so many wonderful friends in the blog world. I'm praying for you this holiday season, because I know it is very hard!!! We are all here whenever you need us. Enjoyed your beautiful pictures! Thanks for visiting me earlier today. Love & blessings from NC!

  15. Kathy I have asked myself that question many times! I am in awe of the wonderful people I have gotten to know. I have learned new crafts, shared precious moments in people's lives and been uplifted in my own many times here on the blogs!
    I was at a very low point in my life when I started my blog and I have been so thankful and blessed each day since because of it!
    You have been one of those blessings and I want to take this opportunity to say..thank you Kathy!

  16. Hi Kathy,
    I have been checking every few days to see if you had posted, then I would know you were o.k.
    It's wonderful to hear from you...I think about you all the time..I do..
    You changed your header, its very pretty...
    We decorated inside this weekend, but could not do the outside, it rained off and on all weekend.
    I love your Merry Christmas sign..
    Have a sweet day and very big hugs, Elizabeth

  17. Dear Kathy, Before blogging, I never would have known your story,,,been inspired by your faith and touched by your loss. Blogging at it's best is connecting, caring and encouraging. The creative part is a bonus. Thanks for the inspiration. Love, Penny
