Matthew

Dear friends,

It's is the time of the year when I take the time to remember my son. Matthew's birthday is March 30th. I was only 25 weeks pregnant when he was born. He had lived for 2 days. And in that short time, he touched so many hearts. He would be 9 years old this year. I often wonder what he would look like and what he would like to do .. I know he has been taken care of up in heaven by my parents. I miss him everyday. So whatever goes on in your life, remember life is precious. Give your son or daughter a big hug and tell you love them for you don't know when they will be taken from you. Enjoy even the little things in life....


Take care everyone.


Melanie

Orange you sweet!


The next treat for Kelli's class, using the Tart and Tangy stamp set.

Hello

This past weekend, I didn't do much stamping; however I went to Milwaukee and visited a couple of stamping stores. I purchased a few stamps and lots of scrapbook paper. I can't wait to use them.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

Will post soon.

New Year


I recently bought the copic markers and I love them. I have the stampin up makers and they I didn't care for them. Here is a sample of what I have been able to do now with these markers.

Well its a new year and time to make those New Year's resolutions. Well I am going to make several resolutions and one of them is to update my blog on a weekly basis. I know I have neglected this and I really want to get back to doing more the things I love to do.
I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year.
Melanie
