Personal

Do you remember the Beatles song “With A Little Help From My Friends”?  Well, I get by with a little help from my friend, Jessica!

My monthly Cards & More class can have up to 18 people.  They each make nine cards (3 each of 3 designs) plus a bonus project.  That’s 180 (ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY!) projects to be cut and prepped.  There’s NO way I could cut all that paper by myself.

Not only does Jessica cut an incredible amount of paper, but she also helps keep me on track, giving me deadlines to have my samples made and ready to go.  And, believe me, I need that push!

THANK YOU, JESSICA, FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK!!

Today is Veterans Day, and I just want to say THANK YOU to all of our Veterans.  I thank you for the freedoms that I enjoy, and I appreciate the sacrifices made to preserve those freedoms.

This is a picture of my husband (Steve) and his brother (Ray) on our wedding day.  I won’t say just how old this picture is, but you can probably tell it was taken before the digital age.

This is a picture of my brother-in-law (Russ, husband of Steve’s sister Debbie), my father-in-law (Jim) who is no longer with us, my husband (Steve) and his brother (Ray).  This picture was taken at Debbie and Russ’ wedding, a year after ours.

Gotta love a man in uniform!

I hope you pause for a moment in your day to remember all of our veterans.  And, if you happen to see one, thank them for their service.  I can tell you, it means a lot to them!
