Happy Holidays everyone!

I am sorry that I am sending this out later than I wanted. My family and I spent the holidays in Medicine Hat, Alberta visiting family.

Christmas Cards

Good evening!

Only 3 more sleeps until Christmas! Wow, time flies!

I wanted to share with you two Christmas cards I received from Close to My Heart Corporate office. Aren't they beautiful! I love receiving cards this time of year! It brings great joy to receive them!

Enjoy!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

Good evening everyone!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas here! The cold weather has arrived and so has the snow. The Christmas tunes are playing and the candles are lit. The tree is decorated, shopping is underway and cards are being made. I Love Christmas!

Enjoy!

Remembrance Day

Good evening,

On the eve of Remembrance Day I feel that we need to acknowledge the great sacrifices that so many of our great Canadian soldiers, past and present, have made for the freedom we all enjoy.

My daughters were part of their school's Remembrance Day ceremonies today and they will be part of the ceremony in Cochrane tomorrow morning through Girl Guides and Brownies.

May we never forget.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses row on row,

That marks our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders Fields.

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)

Canadian Army

Quote of the Day

I love quotes and I like to use them in my scrapbooks and on my handmade cards.

"Every act of kindness makes the world a better place to live."

Have a marvelous Monday!
