So as promised the Christmas signs Steve painted... None of these signs have been prim'd yet just in case someone wants them un-prim'd.
Bumpy paint... in case you missed it here is the tutorial.
Steve's favorite...he wanted to put a cookie monster on it and I talked him out of it. LOL
One of my favorites...
Absolute favorite one!!!!! Not sure I can part with it. LOL
Not to shabby for the first time. LOL.
I am going to try to write things that I am thankful for during the month of November each time I post. This is number 1.
A year ago today my soon to be ex husband left me. I look back and see how far I've come from that dreadful night. Am I thankful for it? Yes and no for many reasons. It is what it is and I have moved on. I am thankful for all my friends and family who stuck by me and helped me through this year.
Also I just learned that a boy, who's parents I grew up with, broke his neck in a football game Friday night and is having surgery to try to repair the paralysis from his chest down today. Please say an extra prayer for him.
Great signs!! I will keep the football player in my thoughts and prayers! My oldest son Andrew plays football and I cringe at every game and hold my breath when ANYONE gets hurt! Warm wishes and kind hearfelt get wells to him!!!!

What a blessing to focus on what we're thankful for during this wonderful season...and what a blessing to have family and friends to see you though the other stuff of life!
ReplyDeleteLove your signs!
Mary,
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday & Happy November to you. I remember last year when you posted what had happened & I know it's been a rough year for you. I'm so glad that you have come through it. Family & friends are something we should all be thankful for ~ I know I am. I love the signs ~ looking forward to seeing them primmed up.
Gratitude is a great thing to include in our posts.
Hugs,
Pam

Love the signs! I too remember last year and i think you have done a wonderful job over the past year making things work for yourself! Prayers being said for that family.
ReplyDeleteYou have come so far in a year. I can almost feel the changes in your 'voice' as I think back to those first awful posts and your despair and heartbreak. Now, you have a wonderful uplifting sound to your 'voice' again. After all you have endured, I hope the future is happy and bright.
ReplyDeleteGREAT signs!!
Wow, your signs are fabulous. I love signs and yours are so great.
ReplyDeleteAlso, as I was reading your post, I was remembering the one from a year ago and how my heart ached for you, but you have been an encouragement to others and have allowed God to use your experience and your pain. It's been a long difficult year for you and I was even remember the post where you contimplated not blogging anymore. I'm glad you kept on going.
Just sayin'
I'll say a prayer right now for this football player.
Blessings

Thank you for visiting my blog. I am so happy my daughter, Heidi, found you. She has two blogs. I will tell her to pop in to visit you now. She has lived in the Netherlands for many years now, married to a Dutchman.
