30 days to a Handmade Holiday!

I'm so excited about this class starting today. I feel the need to keep busy and I think this is just the thing! 30 days handmade is a SiS tv class that you can purchase online. The class starts today and you certainly will get your moneys worth. You get 30 handmade project ideas, 3 different sets of gift tags to download, and an exclusive sis tv holiday planner! check it out!

Also starting the 9th of November I am taking this class. I thought it might be helpful in documenting all of my mom's stories etc. The best part it's FREE!

My mom has passed. Though I have lost  the best mother anyone could hope for I am grateful for the year we had together. I am grateful to have had a years worth of laughs, lunches, holidays, movies and sleepovers with her. My mother showed such bravery and courage in the end. She faced words that noone ever wants to hear, and she did so with absolute selflessness. Till the time she could no longer speak she was still giving of herself,wanting her bingo friends to have one more gift from her, her granddaughters picked out jewlery with her, she was making sure we would thank the nurses and all the doctors, and she asked just one thing of each of us and that was to take care of each other.My mother taught us to love hard, deeply and passionatley, to say it and mean it every day.

Mom is home and is as comfortable as possible.She is surrounded by those who love her. The coming days will be diffucult.

I truly have felt the hands of God in the last several days, he has given us a year of gifts with her and the gifts keep on coming. I love you all, Thank you

Mom

It's 4:30 in the morning and I have been up since 3. I woke up wanting to look for all my mom's pictures. Last year I started to gather them as I would find them, along with the many cards she loved to send everyone. The sad thing is I wish I had more pictures, but she never wanted to take them. I am so thankful I got her to take the photos I posted the other day. Those were taken on Thanksgiving of last year. I think my mom looks so beautiful in that photo.

Last night we found out that surgery is not an option. My mom has decided to go into hospice care as of Thursday.Thank you to everyone who is praying for us. Thank you to my friends who have been there to support me.

Below is an example of how creative my mom is, she made this for me just last week.

It was Halloween nite the witches were ready

they thought up a dish and it wasn't spaghetti

The brew they were cooking , a gouhlish concoction

had spiders and bats and frogs as an option.

Toil and trouble they cackled and screamed,

only us witches can do Halloween!

They jumped on their broomsticks,

flew off in the nite

to pass out their potion with frightful delight.

Trick  or Treat they called out as they flew by the moon

and gone to each goblin a treat sack of gloom!
