Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you all had a great weekend!! Mine was very busy since I had company the entire weekend as well as some other things going on. It was a mixture of happiness and sadness. I had a great visit with my parents! The girls had a terrific weekend with their friends who stayed with us for the entire weekend. Yesterday, however, my dear friend Ruby lost her battle to cancer. Ruby passed on to be with her Lord and Savior yesterday morning. While I miss her deeply already, I grieve for me and her family and friends and not for her. Ruby loved to sing and I am sure she is up in heaven receiving an embrace from the father, singing and dancing. Ruby lived her life for the Lord in all she did, and I pray her testimony live on.
This week will be a very busy and tough week as I attend many events in her memory, make dinners and baked goods for dinners for both her funeral and the out of town family, and prepare to sing the song Ruby chose for us to sing at her Memorial Service "Steppin on the clouds". Since this is a song I sang with Ruby it will be tough to sing it at her funeral knowing she is no longer with us. I am praying for great strength to be able to sing without tears.
I want to apologize in advance for being absent this week...I will try to visit you. I have many creations already made and scheduled so my blog will keep on going...
Anywho...today is another product spotlight at Stamp and Create!! This week's product spotlight is texture...so anything in the store that adds texture to your creations will be 25% off in the store. These items include fun flock, Liquid applique, Stickles, liquid pearls, and Embossing powders.
Lacey also has several clearance items on sale.
Here is my creation using Penguin's Winter Fun from Whiff of Joy which is available at Stamp and Create. I just love this image and could not wait to ink it up.I colored it with copics and added liquid applique and diamond stickles for dimension and sparkle. The designer paper is from Basic Grey Jovial and Basic Grey Olivia. The bow is created with the bow easy and burgundy silk ribbon from May Arts. The 1/2 circle panel is cut out using the classic circle spellbinders. The sentiment is from Whimsy's Winter Letter Seals.

Chris, I will be praying for you. Your post reminded me of when my best friend, my mom, passed. We grieve for ourselves and the ones left behind, but rejoice in the knowledge of reuniting again in Heaven. The book '90 Minutes in Heaven', have your read it? A very comforting true story. I think it's 90, the author is a minister. Hugs to you, go ahead and cry your eyes out.
