Welcome

I would love to invite you into my home to have a cup of tea with me. We could sit in my sunny kitchen and talk about all the things that are going on in our lives. I could share with you the news I hear from my grown daughters. How my grandkids are growing. We could laugh together over the funny things that they have said. It would be fun to share the ins and outs of our family life, and talk about our latest creative projects. We could share what God has been teaching us, in our personal lives, and encourage each other on this walk of faith. We could pray together, laugh together, and even cry together. Since most of us will never be able to sit down together face to face, I would like to invite you to join me here. So come on in and have a cup of tea with me.

Family Tree

I have been trying to make time to be "creative".  It is one of those things that when I make the time, the payback is so great!  I always feel rejuvenated, but making the time is the hard part!  It seems that our days are so full of just "surviving" that we often forget to take time for these things.

My latest "creative project" has been our "family tree" in our entry way.   I got the idea about 6 months ago, and started collecting the photos that we needed.  This past month, Tony was able to paint the wall for me, and my sweet daughter, Alexis, drew me a tree and sent it to me by email.  So I have to give her credit.  The tree is from "A Taylor Designs".  :-)

After we got the wall painted, I decided  that I wanted to use black, cream, and turquoise frames. So I spent a couple days painting some of my frames.

Tony helped me by sketching it on the wall for me, and then I spent the last week painting it. :-)

I am so excited with how it came out.  We still need to get a picture of Tony's grandparents, Grandpa and Nana Anzalone.

Here are a few pictures of my "family tree"...
