Happy Christmas!

Since all my Christmas projects

are done, sent out, given, etc.

I don't have anything Christmassy

to show.  Is that even a word?  I

know people use it.  However,

I do have a friend's birthday coming

soon, so here is the card I made for

that occasion:

I love the soft pastels of the flowers.

This is actually an old pattern, but

I haven't made it in many years.  I was

debating putting some bling in the middle

of the flowers, but I like how

the pattern has it . 

 

We got some significant snow yesterday

and coming back from church/lunch, the

highway was crawling.  But I made it home

OK. I did fall twice in her yard before 

I left!  I'm still getting used to how this car

handles in snow and I've never been the

best winter driver anyway.  I sure miss

my car.  I knew exactly what to expect.

 

Today I'll be going to my friend, Coleen's

parents' home and I'm looking forward to

it.  It will be more fun than sitting at

home which is what I would have done.

I have been incredibly blessed by

her friendship.  I've got some amazing

friends now, and I love my life.  I sometimes

think that if John hadn't died I wouldn't

have my friends, signing, all the other

things that make my life so fulfilled now.

It almost feels like I'm glad he's gone,

which of course, I'm not, but I guess it's

true that God can take something bad 

and make something good come of it.

 

Happy Christmas!
