Deep in our hearts you'll always stay,

loved and remembered every day.

Thinking of you today.

Miss you.

Love, Mom

Some memories...

This is me and my sister Debbie.

My grandmother made a lot of our dresses.

We were less than a year apart...Irish twins.

When I was young I would spend a lot of time at my grandparent's home during the summer.

I was raised with 4 brothers and 2 sisters. Yes, we had a large family!

My fondest memories are spent with my grandparents and my sister Debbie.

My grandmother taught me how to sew by hand and using the sewing machine at a young age. I made all my Barbie doll clothes.

My grandmother watch soap operas during the day and wrestling at night. Yes I said wrestling!

My grandmother was a great cook! She would make homemade bread in the evening. She would make 'puffs' for breakfast. This is what our family called the fried bread. She would roll the dough out, cut it into triangle pieces and then fry it. The cooking process would cause the dough to puff. It was a favorite for the whole family! Of course, remember they did not write or talk about fattening foods much back then...well at least I do not remember such conversations. I only remember my grandmother cooking great meals!

I will post more about my wonderful childhood memories in the next couple of weeks.

I hope you are having a great week!

Being creative...

This week while looking for a favorite and misplaced postcard image, I found these lovelies on a CD that I purchased several years ago.

Isn't it frustrating when you know you have something whether it is on the computer or in your art studio and you cannot find it? How do you handle the frustrations?

I just go take a nap. It helps with the stress. I know some of you can't imagine going to take a nap over something so little, but stress can cause havoc when you have lupus. It's the not knowing what will ache...or how long it will cause you to be in bed to heal. This is how I handle my stress. How do you handle yours?

Enjoy the images!

I am sure sometime this week I will find the image I am looking for and the project can be completed.

Wishing you a wonderful and creative Thursday!

OH...by the way...Good luck Lee! Hope you win American Idol!

Something Blue...

Well...really it is more like robin egg blue.

Just a sneak peek at something I completed this weekend for the Something Blue Swap.

I still need to get some extra goodies for my swap partner and I will be finished.

I am hoping to mail out by Friday this week.

Hope you are having a wonderful day!

And the winner is...
