Here we go again....

This time we are running from hurricane Ike. It seems like just yesterday we were running from Rita. Actually it was 3 yrs. ago Sept. 25,2005. What a nightmare. Needless to say this time has had it's own problems. The biggest problem has been trying to get someone to transport my FIL out of harms way. We are waiting to be notified as to when EMS will come to pick him up and then we will follow them to San Antonio.

This is one of the hardest things a person has to do.... pack up and leave your home and not know if you will have somewhere to come back to. My heart goes out to all that are running from this storm. Please keep us all in your prayers.

God bless all and I will try to post as soon as I can.

Where has the time gone ?




Ever feel like when you take one step forward you go 3 steps backwards ?



That's how things have been going around here lately. At least life is never boring. I finally got the picture taken of the angel for the posting prize. And surprise.... I'm going to send and angel to all 3 ladies that posted before the contested end . Just give me time to get boxes and a chance to get them in the mail. Hopefully, that will happen this week.




I've been busy this week with all the home health care visitors but I'm hoping to get a few new things up on the site. Be sure to check your mailbox for a newsletter and a special back to school offering. If you haven't signed up for the mailing list now is the time to do it. I'm working as fast and furious as possible to get new Christmas items up.

Angels Amongst Us.. Contest






Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. Heb. 13: 2


There are several of you that have kept me in your prayers for the last several weeks. First for my FIL after his stroke and when we thought things couldn't get worse we found out tropical storm Edouardo was heading my way. Thank you so much for the prayers. They have been answered. The storm came in east of me and so far so good. No strong winds or flooding and ahhhh,the cool air is wonderful.

Once again my angels have surrounded me and mine.

I'm going to run a contest throught midnight tonight. Anyone that post to this message will be entered. Be sure to post your name and sign up for the mailing list so that I can contact you.

The prize is going to be one of my angel ornies. Not sure what it will look like yet. I'm still working on it but the picture is of one I've done before.

Happy posting.

The contest has ended and I will be posting a picture of the prize and the winner. Be sure to check back often This was fun. I think I might do it again some time soon.

24 Things To Never Forget‏

It's been a really rough 2 weeks and once again I haven't been able to post on here like I would like to. Life just seems to always be getting in the way.

Some of you know that I take care of my bedridden FIL. Well, he had stroke #4 and by the grace of God he survived but the roller coaster ride has not been any fun. Thank you so much to all of you that are saying prayers for me and my family. You will never know how much they are appreciated.

I got this in an email and thought I would share it with you :

24 Things (23 Things to Always Remember And One Thing Never to Forget)

1. Your presence is a present to the world.
2. You're unique and one of a kind.
3. Your life can be what you want it to be.
4. Take the days just one at a time.
5. Count your blessings, not your troubles.
6. You'll make it through whatever comes along.
7. Within you are so many answers.
8. Understand, have courage, be strong.

10. So many dreams are waiting to be realized.
11. Decisions are too important to leave to chance.
12. Reach for your peak, your goal, and your prize.
13. Nothing wastes more energy than worrying.
14. The longer one carries a problem, the heavier it gets.
15. Don't take things too seriously.
16. Live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets.
17. Remember that a little love goes a long way.
18. Remember that a lot... goes forever.

Welcome To Ribbons Roses and More

I am so excited to be doing this. I ask my friend what I would post about,LOL. I imagine once I get started I won't be able to stop.

It was a very busy weekend. Saturday I escaped and got to go hunting for new treasures to paint. Be sure to check the website for new things. I found lots of new treasures. As soon as I can figure this thing out I will try to post some pictures to tempt you.

Yesterday was DD's birthday and she will try to celebrate the entire month. Ah, to be so young again.
