Happy New Year to YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In a few short hours, this year will be behind us. I hope 2007 was a good year for you, but I hope that 2008 will be even better!!!! May you love the Lord more deeply and truly. May you seek His face in all you do! And if you do not yet know the Lord, I pray that this is the year that you would seek to know Him more, with all your heart. For God is a loving and compassionate God who cares deeply for you. I am reminded of how God cares for the birds of the air in Matthew 6:25-27. God's word reminds us of how much more valuable we as humans are to Him than these. And if he cares for them, will he not care for you??? Will you trust Him with your heart this New Year!!
This year we purchased and "opened" one of our gifts early. We welcomed Pearl and Zack into our home. I share with you these pictures, and may they be a visual reminder to you of how much the Heavenly Father cares for {YOU}!!!!!
Blessings to you as we enter a new and GLORIOUS year!

Sincerely,
Sonja




A little Vintage Christmas


I love all things 'old'. I love talking to older people,( and the older I get, the harder that is to do, LOL!!!). I love shopping for antiques, and finding some 'one of a kind' things.
And sometimes I just like to play with my supplies and see what comes out. I love this Vintage Christmas stamp ( now retired ). I bought it specifically for the sleigh image. I did a little poking around the net to see what colors, and designs are typically used, and it helped me a lot. Playing is so much fun!!!!!!! And I am glad to see my daughter is catching the "BUG" too. Well, so, here's the card I had a lot of fun playing with. And thanks for stopping by!!!!!!!!








I hope you had a lovely Christmas!!

My Christmas cards this year.........





Gave one to as many as I could. I try to be a thrifty person, and was able to stamp the lace ( one of CTMH's newest stamps) right onto the card front. So all I had to cut was the ribbon, Chocolate, and Colonial White cardstock. ( and the star too, sorry forgot that one) If that wasn't thrifty enough, the ribbon doesn't even go 'ALL' the way behind the 'little town'. This way I could glue it right down, and knew it would stay. But SHHHHHHH!!!, don't tell anyone 'K'???!!!!!

Sincerely,
Sonja
