moments and memories

I had really enjoyed taking photos of the city where I have has so many places that hold memories for our family and myself. Some of those places make me stop and remember what things were before all the destruction. To anyone else these images are just something they have possibly seen many times before. For me its a reminder of everything that has happened and how far we have come.













A few trips into the city with so many great new memories created for our family.

Operation Christmas Child Boxes

4 comments
Last year we filled 4 boxes for Operation Christmas Child Samaritan's purse. This year our family was all in to fill more!
I am always amazed by peoples generosity, love, compassion and willingness to do for others! Filling these boxes reminded me of the collective power of love! Thanks Miriam for being able to help me get this done!



We invited everyone to contribute to the boxes. I am ever so thankful we can go out and buy new items to fill the boxes and remind the boys that they don't need to be buying something and they already have so much! We as a family filled 4 boxes again this year


Here are a some things we put in the boxes for the different age groups

t-shirt, tooth brush, puzzle, soft toy, tissues, soap, pencil, balloon, colouring pencils, notebook, headband, hair ties,

We had great joy making sure each box had what it needed. We made sure that there was both genders and all ages covered.



Its an awesome feeling to be part of something bigger than us. I love that we can be a part for others to receive a box filled with gifts and love! Thanks to the Make Cafe for being an awesome creative space!

We aimed for 30 boxes and 46 boxes are now complete!!!

Dish cloth swap

2 comments
I was so excited when I saw this post about a dishcloth swap. I was totally in for it!!!


 I have had this big book of dishcloths for a while now and have made a few from the book already. It was a great chance for me to learn a few new techniques and of course make something for someone else.




I got two different dishcloth patterns made from the book of dishcloth patterns.



These dish cloths are in the post to Leonie. Hope you enjoy them!
