Words to live by....

“I Believe Behind Every Successful Woman is Her-Self” I absolutely believe that in order for a woman to experience success, happiness, fulfillment, and peace, she needs to know two things; who she is, and who she is meant to be. Somewhere along our crazy day we lose who we are and where we are going. We lose track of our essential feminine self, but we don’t have to. The way to hold on to her is to accept nothing less than being simply the best!

Arie Payter Kuipers


Kris and Cassie are the proud parents of Arie, who arrived Sunday, May 17th. Another sweet baby boy added to my posterity! What joy! I spent most of the day at the hospital with my daughters and son enjoying each others company. It tickles my heart to see my son so happy to have his son to hold and cherish. When I walked into the nursery the sight of my son holding his son tugged at my heart strings. Family is the best!!!

Bounty




Sitting down with brush in hand, I begin to paint. What happens to a canvas touched ever-so-gently by an art brush dipped in paint?...
Organized paint takes form and slowly comes into view, touching and dazzeling the heart...

Happy Easter! 2009











Spring is in the air; a rich, green carpet spreads over the hills while the smell of newly sprouted-flowers fill my senses. After attending church, family race to my home in anticipation of a savory feast, lovingly spread upon the candy laden table. Tantalizing morsels of food make mouths salivate, while friendly chatter fill the air. Nearby, the sound of childrens' giggles reach my ears as they run to greet cousins. Clanking Easter baskets spill sweets onto the floor for the patiently waiting dog beyond. I soak up the sounds; the sounds of cherished family is the dearest sound on earth!

Dresden's Blessing

I made Dresden's long, white dress for her to be blessed in Sunday, March 1. She looked like a beautiful little princess in her father's arms; surrounded by her grandfathers, uncles, and friends. Dustin and Kimberly had everyone over for a yummy lunch of assorted meats, cheeses, and salads. What a enjoyable and delightful day!!!

Christmas 2008


Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Every streaming ribbon, every dazzling trim, every bit of velvet seems more beautiful then ever. The lights of Christmas are like stars, and the holiday season wraps us in magic. Another wonderful Christmas season shared with family and friends. Warmest wishes and may joy and peace fill our hearts in the New Year!
