Angel

This past weekend was super busy for me which is why I didn't get a post out on Saturday.  On Saturday, I went to the memorial service for the father of a friend and former coworker of mine, Carlee.  Her dad had been diagnosed with liver cancer around 6-8 months ago.  I know it has been really difficult for Carlee to go through this, but I also know she can be comforted in knowing that her dad is no longer in pain now that he is with his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  The memorial service was really quite beautiful and special.  I never met Carlee's dad, but it was clear to me that he was very loved and will be greatly missed by so many people.

This beautiful angel came with a basket of flowers that I received when my mother in law passed away in September.

Peter Rabbit Again

I have a fairly large collection of Beatrix Potter items, and as promised, here is more of my collection!  This is a ceramic cookie jar and the first copy of "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" that I ever owned.  This book is very special to me.  :)

Peter Rabbit

I have probably mentioned this before, but in case you missed it, I love Beatrix Potter's children books!  My favorite always was and is Peter Rabbit.  :)  I am sure this won't be the last time you see some of my collection.  :)

Cutie Pie

This is my little cutie pie, Tarcil!  I love him so much!  Today is an early morning of meetings at church, and it always makes me so happy to see Tarcil!  :)

Music Box Piano

My little Tarcil was playing on this piano that is actually a music box.  It was the perfect size for him.  He really seemed to like it!  :)

Cuddles with Tigger

My husband didn't have to work today, so it turned into a bit of a lazy day.  There is nothing better than cuddling in bed with those you love!!  :)

This adorable stuffed animal was made by Vicci from Vicci's Little Critters!  You can find more of her wonderful work at www.viccislittlecritters.com and buy it at www.viccislittlecritters.etsy.com.

Cuddle buddies!!  :)

In Penny's Basket

This is the basket that I keep at my desk while I work to help contain my cat, Penny.  Without the basket, she walks around the desk rubbing my hands while I type and knocks things off to get my attention.  With the basket, she climbs in and lets me pet her at my discretion until she finally gives in and just goes to sleep.  So needless to say, the basket is a must if I plan on actually getting any work done at my desk.  I realized it serves a second purpose of containing an adventurous hamster while I work (obviously only if Penny is sleeping elsewhere).  Clearly this basket keeps me sane and productive.  :)
