prayers requested

Brittany over at "The life of a Steel Magnolia", is going through a very tough time right now.

Her dad (an old teacher of mine) has been battling cancer and they have just called in hospice.

Here is a link to the CaringBridge page.

Brittany, I am praying for comfort and peace for your dad and your entire family. May God's love and warm embrace comfort you in this time of need.

Help me SHOP for Christmas Cards!

It's that time of year folks!

I have been browsing Shutterfly all morning searching for the perfect holiday photo card for 2010.

It is SO HARD because there are SO MANY that I loooove! Maybe I could just send two or three to each person on my list???

We have a gazillion pictures from this year PLUS we are planning to have my father in law snap some photos of us this weekend so I knew I wanted one with lots of photos.

I have narrowed it down to these so far, tell me what ya think!

Black for Christmas??? I think so! I love how simple it is.

Oh, brown and green....SOLD! My two most favoritest colors!

Two of the same...again in black? I am a sucker for monogram!

Again, I like how simple these are...and both color and black and white photos would work well!

Oh, I love this one with the b&w photos!

...monogram and polka dots, be still my heart!!!

This makes me wish my last name started with an "E"...look how flippin' cute that "E" is!

Also, check out their Custom Mugs...Zach has requested one of these this year...how sweet!
