Thankful...

Mary Katherine made us a new "Thankful Tree"

this year and everyone was happy to write

what they were thankful for on individual leaves.

This leaf tells part of the story...

showing names of family members

we are very thankful for...

Jack IV was VERY thankful Aunt Stephanie let him

play with her I-Touch. He LOVED drinking milk

from it:) His smile says it all....too cute!

3 Jacks and Ali rode Segway's

while the weather was so nice..
..Jackpaw took Jack IV for several rides...

...Korky and Jack IV drinking together from

the I-Touch drinks...

....Ali & Jack IV with their Mom making sure

he didn't fall from the wagon!

So very much to be thankful for...

but this year more than ever

I was so very thankful for everything

HE has provided for our family...

food, a roof over our heads

& a healthy family.

Praying your family had a wonderfully blessed

Thanksgiving.

Blessings today and always,

Kaye

Beauty only He can provide

Wonderful rain has certainly turned the grass
green once again.The rainbow & the Moon as the skies begin to clear.You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast,
because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever,
for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal.
Isaiah 26:3-4 NIV

Sissy is Coming!

This 'sister' tile was engraved last week for Miss Ora
who wanted something very special for her sister-in-law,
whom she said was 'just like a sister to her'.
And since I know the importance of 'sisters',
whether they are given to us by birth, or by chance,
they are people we are very thankful to have in our lives.

I am very excited that my real life sister, a.k.a. "sissy' is on
her way from Mississippi now.
Thankful for Spring Break to give her a few days off
and thankful her husband could take a few days off
to be here to take the grandkids fishing!

And looking forward to one of David's divine
fish-fry's while they are here!

Blessings today and every day,
Kaye
Matthew 21:22

The Lord will keep you from all harm-
He will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Short & Sweet

*Updated to add another email received soon after I posted*
-Wanted to share a couple of emails from customers today-
Seriously nothing pleases me more
than to know they were 'happy' & 'satisfied' with their purchases.

Kaye,
Received the tile today and it is perfect!
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Amber

Kaye,

job on the family tile that I ordered.

Thank you so much!
May God continue to bless you!

How many are your works, O Lord!
In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures...
These all look at you and give them their food at the proper time...
May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in His works.
Psalm 104:24, 27, 31 NIV

Answered Prayers & A Give-A-Way!

After Baby Harper was born,
I shipped the tile photographed above,
which is an 8" x 8" Porcelain
to Kelly and her precious family
as we all prayed for Baby Harper to be healed.
We are so very thankful for
so many answered prayers and
all HE has done
for the Stamps Family and
for so many others during Harper's illness.
Matthew 21:22

Earlier today sweet Kelly graciously gave me permission to show
Harper's tile and I wanted to offer a Give-A-Way

one of these engraved for a child.

How wonderful are thy works...

I am so very thankful for so many answered prayers on behalf of
