Our God is truly an amazing God! I remember reading recently a scripture in
Psalm (55:14)
with whom I once enjoyed sweet fellowship as we walked with the throng at the house of God. And truly life is so much sweeter with Him and that of our closest, most wonderful friends to guide us. It's always a blessing when we get to *meet* new friends via this vast computer world of ours, and
Tracy is one of those inspiring, amazingly talented and wonderful ones I've met along the way! I was happily suprised to see my name on her blog for this very SWEET award! Thank you so much, Tracy! If you haven't had the chance to stop by her blog, make sure you do! She has an amazing talent and creates with a vintage flair and her work has such a heart-warming & creative touch to it. And she's opening her own store soon, Grand Opening in March, so keep an eye out :)
