Winner & A Story

The winner of yesterday's giveaway is:

SARA of Sara's Art House!

Many thanks to those who left comments.
I shall do another giveaway soon!

Regarding the bottom photo...
This is one of my favorite Christmas ornaments.
It is a clear plastic star with the photo I cherish inside.

On the left is my older brother.
In the blue one-piece is my older sister.
My grandpa.
Me on the right.

My siblings and I were swimming in my grandpa's pool.
He arrived home and came out to say hi.
There we were; three heads bobbing in the water pleading, "Grandpa! Come swim with us!"
We begged and pleaded!

Just when we were about to give up, we hear a sudden, "Here I come!"
My grandpa came flying through the air, diving into the water, clothes and all!

Pure joy.
Pure silliness.
Happy love.
A moment of utter glee!

Giveaway!

I am baking cookies for my daughter's dad.
He did something kind for me.

Yesterday, I received an unexpected gift from a landlords!
So lovely! Kind.

The other day, I received love and support when I needed it most!
Loving kindness.

Blog followers, new and old, have left me wonderful, kind words in comment to my post.
THANK YOU!

Soooooo...
I would like to giveaway this new drawing.
Simply leave a comment.
Tomorrow morning (Friday) I will draw a name out of my Pyrex bowl.
Then I will announce the winner!

Have a wonderful day!
Cheers!

Sailing

with an open heart

and a patchy sail

New Stuff

These are some new items! They soon will be in my Etsy store.

I love fabric and simple sewing and wonky stitches.
Plus, creating like this allows me to use my supplies rather than hoard and save them.

The bottom photo is my Holy Family paper doll garland.

LOVE!

Undress The Day

when the little day is done

I can fill your well with the Hand of God

and breathe a small breath of Gratitude

linger on the threads that the tiny day has worn

undress the day

and hang her garment of Sun and Doings

in the closet next to my heart

which hangs to the left of your garment of Forgiveness
