I made this card for someone I have never  met or even talked to .. Funny how God puts something on your heart .. well One of my  yahoo groups friend KIM  has a friend whos MOM died in a car accident a few days ago   she died at the sceen of the accident .. and what makes this even worse( Like thats not bad enough right ?)   is that this young man  lost his Dad  3 years ago  right before Christmas also ..  Maybe this is a tender spot for me  since I  loss my dad  3 years ago also ( Boy I miss my dad ).I  know  things in our life  happen but have you ever stopped and really thought about  maybe  certain things happen  so you can be a blessing to someone else  when the same thing happens to  them .. Call me weird I know .. But have you ever heard that saying .. NO ONE KNOWS  WHAT IT FEELS LIKE WHEN MY FINGER HURTS~ OR  YOU DONT UNDERSTAND  AND UNTIL YOU WALK A DAY IN MY SHOES ? The funny  Thing is  just letting  them know  its going to be alright   you know put your arm around them  can REALLY help  someone .. I know!!

For this card I used Barely Bananna , perfect plum and sage shadow Cardstock and my  retired deco scissors from SU!  I used the delight in life  S-A-B set   along with clear embossing for all the images in this card .. very soft looking and love the way it glisens .. I then added  a touch of dazzling diamonds to the center of the flowers .

Today we are  going to be  celebrating  Christmas   with my mom ..  It really doesnt feel like Christmas .. NO snow. No Christmas tree, and well Maybe  its because  its really NOT Christmas  Day  DUH…  We should celebrate Christmas every Day anyway  right ?   we are also planning on  going to the show today  some time  early this afternoon  while the turkey is cookin.. All 4 of us are going to go see ."The pursuit of HAPPYness "  see clip   Got a feeling its gonna be another  good cry for me  like  yesterday.. what happened yesterday??

Well   Yesterday My mom, Daughter and Daughters friend Courtney and myself went and seen Charlottes Web click here to view ..  ~ HINT… when you  click on the link  look on the far right of sreen and click on MENU  then  click on VIDEO   this is a great clip of the movie ~ …OH my how quickly I forgot the meaning of this  wonderful story ..  I feel in love with it all over again  and  yes call me Sappy But I  cried at this movie too.. It really had me thinking about  people  that cross our path and Do we judge  them by the way they look ?  You know judge a book by its cover so to speak ?  And Boy  I know we can change the world with KIND. Loving words to one another.. You see Charlotte was a spider  that lived in a barn  with all these other aminals  & Not one of the animals  took the time to know Charlotte cause she was scary looking  But it took a PIG to  come to the barn and  have a kind , cheerful , happy heart all  wilbur wanted was a friend .. those in the barn  didnt  want to take the time to be a friend to wilbur either  ( old and set in their ways I suppose )  ONE day wilbur  meet Charlotte and became friends  right away  The story is about  Wilbur  getting to see the winter snow and not becoming The  Christmas dinner and  along the way Charlotte  starts spinning a web with  words  about Wilbur. people came from   miles away  to see this web  that a spider  could spell and a pig  that was " some pig"   This Movie  is awesome  and I highly recommend  you going to see it . The pig is sooo stinkin cute  as are all the animals . funny  with this movie  I could almost place a name of someone I know  for each of the animal parts .. for instance  the RAT  Boy was he  self centered, always thinking of himself,  you know anyone with the ME! ME! ME! Diesese, Then the cows  do you know people like  them that like to  sit around and talk about  people  Nothing really positive to say ?  Well  they all change when this tiny pig enters the barn  and you think How in the world can a pig and a spider change  all that ? FRIENDSHIP, LOVE,  PROMISES KEPT, POSITIVE, UPLIFTING,  ALWAYS THERE , ENCOURAGING &  FUN!!  Thats how we  can change the world too ..

Okey dokey Artichokie .. Thanks for peeking in Today and  Have a Merry Christmas  today and EVERY Day!

see you tommorrow

until later … Happy Stampin!
