Well, I am officially the worst blogger ever. I have not updated in about 10 months. So you know it must be big for me to take the time to do so.
And there is nothing bigger than supporting a friend. Particularly a friend who is a bit down on their luck. Janelle is one of the sweetest ladies I've ever "met" online. Her attitude and faith are amazing to me. I know I couldn't be like her. I would have buckled and questioned my faith long before now if I were in her shoes. But she never does. She's truly an inspiration to me and I'm sure many others.
So this is for you Janelle. I've been following your blog for months now and butterflies just seemed to say "Janelle" to me. I'm not sure why, but I associate them with you. And the sunny side of life is where you seem to always be.
I feel honored that you share your journey with me. May God bless you and keep you. And may all your days be sunny.
Amuse inks, cardstock and stamps. PTI Wrought Iron stamps. Momento black ink. Clear embossing powder. I totally stole the concept for this from Betsy Veldman. I'm fairly certain she got my share of "creativity" too as I have almost none and she has an amazing abundance. LOL~
This is beautiful Deb. Janelle is truly an inspiring woman.
