No Excuses.........

 Well I really have no excuse to not be blogging...Not like I was swamped just overwhelmed with all that  has taken  place. I must admit when I get in a funk  it is just like a magnet drains  my very soul.  It became quite heavy for so many reasons.

But I know brighter days ahead....so many prayers, so much happening so with that all being  said  the  above photo  was  a good snack that  has gotten me through this week and  it is  ONLY  WEDNESDAY!
While back my husbands cousin tagged me in facebook looking for crafty people so  I looked at what she had  to say....and  it  was  a small write up about  a hospital seeking donations  for their lil wee preemies.........as  I went on to read  and click on the connections  I  was in touch  with a  very young  nurse who works daily with these little 1 pound babies and she  was hoping to find some angels to assist her  to fill a need for these lil babies  for  Christmas...Well of course  I shared the link and  gave it some thought  shared that  I would love to help  but  when I learned  how many she needed  I  too needed  help.....But  no one  came to the  rescue  ....well as  I proceeded to work  on these darling  lilttle booties    in the  last  two weeks   I had  two clients  ask me what  I was doing.....Need I say more.....2 more  ANGELS joined me.....the  nurse  was looking for 30 pair  of  booties   and  more  if we could....Well I am so happy to say   this was  just a drop in the  bucket......I was able to send  close to 75 pair of baby booties......and  I  thank  the  two angels that assisted me  and  God Bless the  nurse of these  babies.....

It makes me feel good to know I am able to help them! 

Not much  else happening here.  Oldest daughter is   now  done  with college....and  youngest is  in her finals week ....both  ladies will be  home for  Christmas.  It will be nice to see them

Blessings to all~
