Hello to all of you sweet people in the world of blog... I've been away, dealing with some medical issues and felt well enough to visit a lil bit today. I want to thank my praying friends... as you know, it truly means so much to me. I am going to post a few things and then it's back to bed for me... but as soon as I can, I'll return to read and catch up with everyone. Glory be to God...
Until another time... Pearl
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men.
~ Luke 2:14 ~
I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.
My thanks and prayers to all that serve(d) in order for my family to live in peace. I found the following quote marked in my Dad's book... long after he passed away. He'd served in the Army. 
Look at what came in the mail for me! ~excited smile~
Not too long ago I had the pleasure of meeting a unique artist named Melinda. I found her when I heard a lil wish of hers for a new Blog Banner... so, after visiting her neat blog, Melinda's Fabric Fancies, I was inspired and did a few banners for her. As always, I had fun creating something special for a new friend!
One of Melinda's passions is creating small altered art pieces called Itty Bitty's... I was thrilled to open one from her as a "thank you" for the banners! She also sent a cute button tack she made for hanging my new art work!
She captured my spirit well with her design... Lots of PINK and LOVE! Melinda, I could not be more pleased or honored and I'm truly grateful for your time, talents and friendship... thank you! And, if y'all have not had a chance to visit and meet Melinda, please take a moment to do so... and enjoy getting lost in her world for awhile! God bless.
We were so blessed with a beautiful weekend...
It's time to set sail with the other Pirate's
How nice of a few Pirate girl friends to stay behind to guard my land~lovin'~goodies!
I'm rather excited about demonstrating my Chandelier Swinging skills!
When all of the partying and plundering begins to settle down...
