Well, this is it for me for right now!  I urge you to please say a little prayer for all of those that were part of the horrific Elementary school shooting in Connecticut and their families. I saddens me that someone would just shoot these little babes! I have a daughter in 2nd grade and I can only imagine what the parents who lost their child today are going through!

Have a blessed and safe weekend!

Hugs,

Snowy Christmas Blessings

Hello and happy Friday stamping friends! Sorry it has been a few days since I posted, but I was down with a severe migraine. I finally was able to take a picture of my card I made a few days ago and this is what came out. I know it very rarely snows here in Southern Arizona, but I remember oh so good how much snow we've had back home n Germany growing up. There were more than one days that we had no school because of too much snow. So, this card is in remembrance of those days.
