Hi friends!

I'm off to a family reunion for a week, and then it's full time, back into the swing of designing! This set will end when I return, and then I'll begin listing my new fall line. I have some wonderful surprises that I think you will enjoy!

Hope you are having a safe- fun filled summer! Enjoy your family and treasure them!!!

French writer François de la Rochefoucauld asserted, "Almost all our faults are more pardonable than the methods we think up to hide them."

Your life has influence

After visiting the Balkans, Canadian reporter James Creelman wrote, "I learned that the world's supply of rose oil comes from the Balkan Mountains. The thing that interested me was that the roses had to be gathered during the darkest hours. Initially this seemed to be a relic of superstition. But as I investigated I learned that a full 40 percent of the fragrance disappears in the light of day."

Without speaking a word, your life gives off an aroma. Through your influence, others are lowered or lifted. Do you want to have impact? Embrace the shadows, discover God and grow in them, then emerge with something to say that's worth listening to!..Amen!

Others may know what you've done, but Jesus knows what you can become. Some may see us as a weed. Jesus sees us as a potential rose and watered us!
