Gifts that Light Up Your Life
I love giving gifts. It doesn't have to be Christmas or a special birthday (although I absolutely love giving Christmas gifts). I just love to make a difference to someone every day and to show people how special they are. Think about a gift you have received that...
TLC – Tender Loving Cards!
I purchased a magazine the other day that has all kinds of cool cards to make. I love scrapbooking and card making and don't take time to do it as much as I would like. I thought to myself "I think I will start making a card each week and send it to someone...

Hear Me Roar!
Let's pretend for a moment that you are at the zoo. You see the lion is quietly sitting on the rock and looking around in all his arrogance. It seems as though you could walk up to him and pet that large, furry main. AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN he stands up and...
