Saying goodbye

At the beginning of this month we said goodbye to our 2 exchange daughters( Vicky & Aline ) and although it was hard I would not trade the time we spent together and the love we shared mixed with the laughter and the tears of goodbye. we made allot of memories and had allot of fun! here are some pictures from their departures.

We miss you both!

Today is my Mom's birthday and even though she is in Heaven and not here on earth any longer. I know she is having a wonderful day with our savior. Happy Birthday Mom! I love you!

Valentines card

So last year I decided that instead of just buying a card for valentine's day I would hand make mine for Dave. Keep in mind that I have none of the fancy scrap booking materials so this was all done by my imagination. after a few hours a day of working on it. it was finished and I was pleased with the turn out. I decided to make this a tradition and made another this year and will continue to make them for years to come. here is my first card.

When Valentines is over I will post the new one for this year!

Have a wonderful Day!
