Sympathy Card

Hi Everybody

Just a quick post of a card I made for my dear Sister whose Father passed away. I pray she doesn't mind me sharing this card.  As a matter of fact I debated with myself over whether or not I should post this card but after persistent encouraging from Hubs I am posting it.  I am quite proud of this card and I adore the way it came out.  I wanted everything be just perfect for this card.  So here it is...

I am not going to say to much about the card other than a lot of love went into this card and I pray she and the family feel the love Hubs and I have for them when they look at the card.  {Sis, Hubs and I are so sorry for your Dad's passing and ya'll have been and will continue to be in our prayers}.

So here it is.  And yes, I know it has been some time since I posted but lots of life has gotten in the way and way too much drama from those around me, plus lots of helping people move - including myself.  A trip across country, a missionary journey, and rehearsals for a concert, just to name a few, have been my distraction over the last few months.  I have been working on Christmas projects and I will prayerfully be posting videos, yes videos, on these projects over the (USA) Thanksgiving Holiday 2012 and posting them on YouTube.  I will link the videos to the blogs as well. 

Alright everyone.  That's all for now.  Thank you all so much for stopping by and I will see you in the next blog.

Oh... If you have any questions about ANYTHING please let me know.

Thanks a bunch!!

Happy Anniversary to ME, well US!!!

Hi Everybody,

So one of the biggest reasons for my absence is that Hubs and I celebrated 5 wonderful years together September 8, 2012.  We have been unable in times past to really go out and celebrate, but this year we made a point to do some of the things that we have been wanting to do.

So early in the am we started on a two hour drive from Springfield, OR to Portland, OR.  We have the best drives ever.  We talk about about everything, have in-depth discussions, share ideas, laugh a lot, and just have fun being with each other.

So once we got to Portland we were hungry for breakfast and decided to visit a place featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.  We love that show.  We stopped in at Pine State Biscuits.

  

Here is the video from Triple D....

To walk off breakfast we walked through a street fair and had a fantastic time seeing the talent people have.  Then we grew hungry again.  Well, I grew hungry again.  So we went to visit another place shown on Triple D.  This time we went to Byways Cafe.

Hubs ordered the biscuits and gravy and I got the pancakes.  We were so full that we had enough left over for breakfast the next day.  But it was soo good.

Then it was time for a little shopping.  We met up with some friends in the area and went to the outlets. This is a pic hubs took of me being silly with these shades he picked out.  They did not take the trip home with us.

So we wrapped up our day and finally took the drive back home.  We did stop off and pick up an anniversary Lemon Meringue pie from Shari's here in OR.  It was the perfect end to a perfect day.

So we really took the week and celebrated our anniversary, however, that trip alone made me so tired that I didn't have the energy to create or post anything.  I would come home and crash on the couch.

So this is what has kept me away for a little while.  But I am energized and ready to go so watch out.  :D

Well, that is all for now everybody.  Enjoy the videos.  Until next time..

Kelli
