Hello friends!  Thank you so much for stopping by. Christmas is almost here, and this is probably one of the darkest seasons for me, and much of my family.

I am sincerely sorry for the challenge being so abandoned like this... but honestly, I have had nothing left at the end of each day to even think of logging on to my computer. My grandmother passed away the Sunday before Thanksgiving, just when we thought things were looking up. She and my grandfather were married for 64 years. He is 91, and they were always together.

Hello there! I would like to thank Sheri for adding the post last week. We lost my grandmother 2 weeks ago today, right before Thanksgiving. She'd had surgery and was seemingly on the mend and then she was gone. My mom was with her and it's been too sad for everyone. I'm almost ready to join the real world again, but not this week. So I am extending the sketch for another week, I hope that's okay. Our sketch is based on this card by Sheri... SO gorgeous! And here's Sheri's re-take... I love everything about it! Okay~ are you ready to ROCK it?!? Things to remember: The linky ..read more
