Update and Thank You!

Ladies.....I cannot find the right words to tell each of you just how much all of your messages have blessed my heart! I never expected to have so many responses. I'm getting home much later tonight than I had anticipated, but I just felt I couldn't let another day go by without thanking each one of you! I've read every message and they were so encouraging to read. For those expressing thoughts for my friend, Becky, I will be passing those on to her as well.
Quickly, she is 'holding' up for now....family and friends have been coming and going since last Thursday...she has not had much time to herself, but I guess the Lord is using this as a 'distractor' for these first few days. Hopefully, next week she will have some time for herself....a time when she will be able to 'break down and cry' without others feeling as if they have to 'make her feel better'. People do mean well, and she knows they are trying to help, so she is not turning anyone away right now. She's indicated that next week, when everyone else goes back to their 'regularly scheduled programs', she may be able to sit and contemplate all that has occured over the last few days and begin to 'mourn' in the manner she would like. At that time, we will sit together and cry as much as she needs and talk through the feelings that are all bottled up within her heart.

But for now, I want to thank all of you for the love and compassion you have shown....it means more to me than you could ever know.

I have so many things to tell you about, stamping things, good things, a card to share and some big news to share, but I'm really, really tired tonight.

I will be back soon with the exciting news (at least for me, it is exciting) and hopefully with a couple of more cards to share.

I do have a card sitting here I had done for the Sweet N' Sassy Stamps Sketch SSS22...I had it finished before getting the news of my friend, but didn't have a chance to get a picture until this afternoon....I'll try to get that posted tomorrow.

Again, my heart wishes it could just jump right through the computer and into the room of each and every one of you...to give you a big hug of thanks, in person. But, since I cannot do that, please believe that my heart is reaching out to each of you with a big hug, if only in spirit.

I pray each of you will have a wonderful and blessed week!

You are all very dear to my heart!

Until next time,
Make time to create but remember to have fun and enjoy the experience!
