I put together these goodie bags to give to staff and teachers at my sons' school. My sons loved sharing hugs and kisses (at least the younger two did!).

My First Original Painting

I took this photo of my oldest son running on the beach while visiting Amelia Island over the Thanksgiving holiday in 2008. It turned out to be the last day I spent with my parents before a car accident took them in March 2009. While I wish I could take credit for the poem, I cannot. It was sent to my by a friend who had received it after she and her husband suffered a loss.

I titled the painting, Chasing Seagulls.

Mom's Ransom Rubbage Box

In an attempt to start the new year off with less nagging and more hugging, I found this great idea on Pinterest from madsmemories.blog... and had to create one for my three sons.

We'll see how it works!
