Shining lights in our lives


Hello, I wanted to share this sweet handmade pin given to me by a lovely little lady at work by the name of Judy. She is our plant expert. Judy is in her 60's, a retired art teacher and a wonderful artist herself. She buys handmade gifts made by local artists every Christmas. This year she gave me this very sweet handmade and handpainted porcelain pin and a loaf of fresh bread made by her. I just love her. She brings joy to everyone she spends time with. Judy lights up and says, "hello Tammy", with a big smile and such excitement that she has a way of making you feel very special. Every Mother's day she makes me a very large pot of flowers for my porch.
Is there anyone who has brought joy to your life in such a way? Judy is a wonderful example of a bright shining light. I always tell her that, too. If we could all be Judy's this world would be a very special place.

  3. Hi Tammy..what a lovely pin! Another blogger did my header for me...but she used a kit which you can buy and do yourself for a bit of practice. Shabbyjen designs I think is one. cherry

  4. Hey I see you have 3 books there all of which I have read. I LOVED The mermaid chair and the secret life of bees but thought the shack was odd. Was not anything like I thought it would be. I had my mother in law read it too and she thought the same. cherry
