ALWAYS IN OUR HEART
ELISABETH, I LOVE YOU MY DEAR FRIEND.
I HAVE BEEN ILL AND AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER
FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS. JUST TODAY I LEARNED OF
ROY'S PASSING UNTO HIS SAVIOUR'S ARMS.. HE PUT UP A
REMARKABLE FIGHT AND HE EARNED HIS CROWN.
I WOULD LIKE FOR EVERYONE TO GO TO YOUR BLOG
AND READ ABOUT THE "DRAGON-FLY." YOU WILL BE
SO VERY BLESSED. I WILL BE E-MAILING YOU MY
FRIEND. I AM SO VERY SORRY BUT ELATED HE SENT
YOU A BLUE
TAIL DRAGON-FLY. YOU WERE/ARE A
WONDERFUL WIFE AND HE LOVED YOU AND THE
KIDS AND YOUR PRECIOUS GRANDCHILD
SO VERY MUCH.
AS YOU KNOW I BELONG TO THE
BLISSFULL ATC SWAP. IT WAS CREATED BY
OUR LOVELY HOSTESSES WENDY AND DEBBIE.
YOU MAY CLICK ON THE BUTTON ABOVE ON MY
RIGHT SIDE BAR.
THEY AS WELL AS ALL OF US WOULD LOVE
FOR NEW PEOPLE TO JOIN US. IT IS A LOT
OF FUN AND CAN BE ADDICTING...I HAVE MY CARDS
MADE THROUGH FEBRUARY AND SO DOES MY
AWESOME FRIEND DeeDee. LOVE YOU GIRL.
EACH MONTH THERE IS A NEW THEME.
SEPTEMBER'S THEME WAS:
"LEAVES."
MY SWAP PARTNER WAS POLLY. I WENT TO
HER BLOG TO SEE WHAT SHE LIKED AND
LAVENDER/PURPLE WERE HER FAVORITE COLORS
BUT SHE ALSO LIKES ALL PASTEL COLORS.
POLLY HAD A VERY SAD/ANGRY/HORRIFYING...ANY
WORD YOU CAN THINK OF INCIDENT
HAPPEN TO HER.....HER
PURSE WITH ALL HER MONEY TO PAY THE BILLS
FOR SEPTEMBER AND ALL HER IDENTITY WAS
STOLEN OUT OF HER CART. PLEASE PRAY
GOD WILL DO A BIG MIRACLE FOR HER.
THAT IS A BIG REMINDER TO ALL OF US, WITH
THE HOLIDAYS APPROACHING TO TAKE PRE-
CAUTION WITH OUR PURSES.
IT IS THE SEASON OF GIVING BUT IT IS ALSO
THE SEASON OF STEALING....ALL THE BAD
COMES OUT WITH THE GOOD.
THIS IS MY ATC FOR POLLY.
I USED AN OLD GREETING CARD FOR LAVENDER
HYDRANGEA LEAVES...LAVENDER SCRAPBOOK
PAPER TO COVER THE PLAYING CARD...
2 CANCELLED STAMPS THAT WERE PURPLE
WITH GREEN LEAVES, GLITTER GEL...GLUE
STICK...PIECE OF PEARL LACE SHAPED LIKE
A LEAF...A PUFFED FELT HEART AND ORGANZA
RIBBON...TYPED GREEN LETTERS SPELLING
LEAVES...AND A PURPLE STICKER ON THE BACK
THAT SAID FRIENDSHIP. EVERY ATC I MAKE IS
ONE OF A KIND....OFTEN I CUT APART MY
VINTAGE CARDS AND SO I DO NOT MAKE ONE
TO KEEP FOR MYSELF.
HAVE YOU ALL MET THE TALENTED CINDY
ADKINS? YOU CAN ARRIVE AT HER BLOGS BY
CLICKING ON THE BUTTONS ON MY SIDE BAR.
IF YOU HAVE NOT MET HER, PLEASE STOP
BY AND VISIT HER BLOGS. YOU WILL BE
SO BLESSED.
SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL PERSON INSIDE AND OUT
AND AN AWESOME CHRISTIAN. SHE HAS HAD
HER OWN CHALLENGES RECENTLY AND WOULD
NOT SUCCUMB TO THE PLANS OF THE DEVIL.
WE CAN (AND WILL) DO ALL THINGS THROUGH
CHRIST WHOM STRENGTHENS US. PLEASE
REMEMBER HER IN PRAYER.
SHE SENT ME THE MOST GLORIOUS PACKAGE.
EVERYTHING WAS CAREFULLY CONTAINED IN A
SEWN BURLAP BAG WITH A GORGEOUS
NECKLACE WHICH MR. SIMPLY IS WEARING
WITH GREAT PRIDE AND THE BIBLE TAG
IS AWESOME. I HAVE IT IN THE BOOK I AM
READING BY MICHIELLE SULLIVAN..."WHY MY
CHILD LORD?" SHE ALSO INCLUDED SOME
TICKETS WHICH TICKLED ME PINK...LOL
CINDY, I JUST LOVE AND ADORE YOU AND YOUR
PRECIOUS SPIRIT. YOU COULD NOT HAVE GIVEN
ME A MORE PERFECT GIFT. GOD IS GOOD...ISN'T
HE. IT IS EXCITING TO SEE WHAT HE IS GOING
TO DO NEXT.
THIS IS A PRECIOUS LADY IN MY LIFE.
THIS IS MY MOTHER-IN-LOVE OR ALSO
KNOWN AS MOTHER-IN-LAW.
ON SEPTEMBER 6, 2010 SHE TURNED
90 YEARS OLD.
I TOLD HER SHE WAS GOING TO LIVE
FOREVER. WE DID NOT GET TO GO TO
HER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AS HER BABY
BOY, MR. SIMPLY WAS SICK. ONE OF US HAS
BEEN SICK OFF AND ON FOR A MONTH.
SOME OF YOU KNOW BUT SHE HAS BEEN
THROUGH A LOT SINCE SHE TURNED 78
YEARS OLD.....
CANCER OF THE BREAST WITH A MASTECTOMY,
LUNG CANCER(NEVER SMOKED A DAY IN HER LIFE),
FELL AND BROKE HER SHOULDER JOINT OFF THE BONE
AND WAITED UNTIL 0300 TO TELL AJ, MY FATHER-IN-
LOVE THAT SHE NEEDED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL...
YOU CAN IMAGINE HIS SHOCK AND IT TELLS OF HER
PAIN TOLERANCE...HER OLDEST SON AND MR. SIMPLY'S
BROTHER GRADUATED TO HEAVEN AFTER A VALIANT
BATTLE WITH LIVER CANCER. SHE TAUGHT KINDER-
GARTEN FOR YEARS AND IT BRINGS HER MUCH
JOY WHEN SHE SEES HER LITTLE STUDENTS
ALL GROWN UP.
SHE IS AN AWESOME GRANDMOTHER AND GREAT
GRANDMOTHER....AND SO IS AJ...AN AWESOME PAPA.
I MIGHT ADD RICHIE IS THEIR ONLY GRANDSON
BUT THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER LAURA GAVE THEM
A GREAT GRANDSON. AMY WAS THEIR FIRST
GRANDCHILD AND I HAVE SO MANY WONDERFUL
MEMORIES OF THE THREE OF THEM TOGETHER.
WHEN SHE WAS FIRST BORN, IRENE SENT HER
A BIRTHDAY CARD EVERY WEEK. AMY LOVED
HER AND PAPA SO VERY MUCH. WHAT A
JOYOUS REUNION IT WILL BE ONE DAY.
HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY IRENE AND NOW YOU CAN
HAVE A PEP IN YOUR STEP!!!!! STAY OFF THE
SKATEBOARD THOUGH, BECAUSE YOUR BONES
ARE BRITTLE....LOL SHE WON'T EVEN SEE THIS,
I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW ABOUT HER.
THIS IS AN AWESOME TREE. I FOUND THE IMAGE
ON GOOGLE. WHEN I SAW IT, IT MADE THINK OF THE
SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS....."DANCE LIKE DAVID DID BEFORE
THE LORD."
AND KEEP YOU UNTIL WE BLOG AGAIN.
YOU ARE AWESOME.
HOPE
IS WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS NOW...
THAT AND A FEW GOLD BARS TO SELL...LOL
"NOW THE GOD OF HOPE FILL YOU
WITH ALL JOY AND PEACE IN BELIEVING,
THAT YE MAY ABOUND IN HOPE,
THROUGH THE POWER OF THE
HOLY GHOST."

LOVE TO YOU ALL
AND MANY HUGS

Debbie, Thank you for letting us know about others that we can say a prayer for.
Your ATC is so delicate, and I appreciate your telling us what you used in the making of it.
I know you cherish the gifts that Cindy sent you - how lovely, how thoughtful.
It seems that you have a wonderful mother-in-law. She is another gift to cherish.
What a beautiful post today Debbie. I am so glad to get to see what some of the ATC cards look like as I am on my first one. My swapper has been sick and I have not heard from her. That is a beautiful picture of Richard's mother. She does look so very full of God's spirit. Just love the picture of the tree and the tag with Amy's picture on it. Hope you are better now and Richard too. Blessings

Thanks for sharing Debbie. Your images and stories are beautiful. The ATC you made is awesome. I can't wait to see the rest.

Debbie, so very sorry to hear you have been sick. No wonder -- too much stress. I hope the happiness of the impending move will outweigh the stress of it, and bring some sunshine into your days.
Your post is just full of wonderful things. The beautiful ATCs, the gifts you received, your MIL -- I was sorry to read of your friend's husband passing.
Debbie, I am sorry you have been sick. I'm also sorry for Elizabeth losing Roy. Man life is so hard some times.
I like your 'purple' ATC card.
Your tribute to your MIL is awesome. She sounded like a great woman. Happy birthday to her.
Feel better soon.

Hello Dear Debbie...
I just wanted to stop by and let you know you've been in my thoughts. I'm unable to keep up with everything and have cut down my blogging so that I can do someactual crocheting and spend more time with my dog, Gizzy, who will be 13 on November 1st. I don't want to have any regrets when the time comes.
I also love dragonflies, especially since I learned they eat mosquitoes - wich makes them my allies too...We had a lot of dragonflies this year and not as many mosquitoes as some years and for that I'm thankful.
You seem to be keeping busy with your swaps every month. I finally entered two, but that's about all I can handle for now since it's only 100 days till Christmas and I'm rushing around already ;-) I have to crochet something in time to mail to my famly in Germany and it's a bit complicated, so I have to work on it every day.
Your ACEO card is pretty. I love recycling and reusing. My Oma (grandma) in Germany taught me how to make a card house from post cards. In those days people sent a lot of postcards and they were all the same size, but not so much anymore.
Congrats on your MIL 90th - what an accomplishment. She looks like a very handsome lady. My mom will be 85 in December and whenever I talk to her (in Germany) she keeps saying that she never thought she would live that long. Did you ever hear of that silly saying: "If I would have known I would live that long, I would have taken better care of myself?" Isn't that silly?
Well, it's late and I'm off to bed. Just wanted to say hello and I have been thinking of you (and Amy) and wish you nothing but the best always.
Yours truly,
Doris (and Gizzy)
What beautiful creations Debbie! Sending big hugs & prayers your way!!
hugs, Sherry
Great post Debbie.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog, and I would be honored to send you a postcard from Paris. Email me your address.

HI DEBBIE,
SORRY YOU WERE FEELING POORLY, HOPE YOU GET WELL QUICK, HUBBY TOO. I LOVE DRAGONFLIES, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL. YOUR ATC CRAFT IS VERY NICE. THE ONE OF AMY IS PRESCIOUS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR MOTHER-IN-LOVE, SHE LOOKS GREAT FOR 90 YEARS OLD.
TAKE CARE, RIZZI
Debbie~ After your visit and kind words I had to come see who has the same taste as me. After looking around your blog we have a lot in common too! I was raised in Oklahoma, am a born again christian and also love the lost art of letter writing to name a few. I didnt know that we were supposed to post our ATC's I thought that I was only supposed to post the ATC that I recieved and then she would post mine. This is my first month and will not make that mistake next time. Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again soon!
~Sherry
Debbie~
I forgot to mention that your tag for the ATC Swap is beautiful. I think it is great that you took the time to go to her site and see what it is she liked before creating.
Yes, I chat with Cindy daily and she is such an inspiration in my life. I was truly blessed when I met her. She is so generous and her gift is as awesome as she it.
~Sherry
Debbie, I'm so very sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Know my prayers are with you and the others you have laid before us.
I just loved your beautiful post today, it really touched my heart.
God bless ya and have a great weekend!!!
You are such a lovely lady and a very powerful prayer warrior. I am glad you are feeling better. I am so very glad to meet you.

Deb, I am SO sorry I have not sent your ATC yet. I am mailing it tomorrow. I have been only "half here" most of the month and having lots of pain, difficulty breathing, all the stuff I hate talking about and seldom do! I LOVE the card, the sweet bookmark, the little things you sent me are so precious. I cried. I could not help it. I can never thank you enough because you understand!!!
Whast a beautiful post...so glad that I stopped by
Yes found you at Angels in my Garden, love your beautiful post, so inspiring....
kim
Your ATC is very beautiful as are your words.
