Your words have reminded me of how grateful I was [and am] having my sisters to walk with me through the deaths of our parents over ten years ago. Sharing with us as you surround yourself with your wonderfully colorful projects, and flowers, and as you continue your creative pursuits while you mourn, is a generous gift to those of us who find joy in the sweet beauty you bring to our lives through your blog posts and books. Thank you. You are in my thoughts and prayers with love, Helen. xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6020904173403709669.post-1937853871429792502016-01-19T16:05:17.799+00:002016-01-19T16:05:17.799+00:00Beautiful, bright colors and soothing activities t...Beautiful, bright colors and soothing activities to keep you warm and feeling peaceful right now.
