Just Sold on Ebay!

This lovely angel just got a home tonight! This is one of my favorites and I hope the new owner is happy with it.

And another Christmas has come and gone! I have what seems like a year's worth of cleaning to do around the house. When the garbage man comes to pick up, he is going to freak since there are piles and piles of empty boxes, courtesy of two good little boys of mine!

I do hope that everyone out there has had a wonderful Christmas. I wish the best to all out there and especially those that are being hurt by this terrible economy. It's awful; I am worried so much about it too and we're feeling the effects but I want to be hopeful for the new year and expectant that things can only get better.

I sure hope so. . .

Up for grabs on Ebay. . .

I felted another Santa similar to the one that a dear gal from Ohio bought. I also have this angel painting too and I really love the way she turned out. I've been sooooo busy with my son's school, getting ready for Christmas, blah, blah. . . . .Sometimes I feel overwhelmed and that's when I step back, take a deep breath and give thanks to the good Lord for all that he has given me. That includes the chaos, the worry and the tears. Because, really, in the end the greatest things that I am blessed with is my family. You can't buy a family and you get what you get and I can't thank God enough for the family I have. I guess I'm ashamed of myself for worrying so much about my house not being perfectly clean or if the economy is going to get worse or better. There's a lot worse things to be angry about rather than those ten pounds I can't seem to lose. How can I even think about those things when such terrible things are going on?

Anyway, we lost our gorgeous pet rabbit over the Thanksgiving weekend. It was hard on my son, but like I just told my dear felting friend Gerry, It is a life lesson that has to be learned. And life does go on, after all. So, let's create and bring beauty in the world in our own small way!!
