The wishing tree

A lovely friend of mine made this site to honor the memories of all of our babies who've gone way too soon. http://angelwishingtree.blogspot.com

Love you Missy

I made this yesterday for my sis in law. She's one of the strongest women I know and am proud to call her a friend as well as a sister. She's strong not only for the fact that no matter how many times she's knocked down just for trying to be happy, or how many times she's shoved on her ass for no reason imaginable, but even more for the fact that no matter how many times life throws her lemons, she always smiles and asks who wants margaritas.

happy memorial day dad!

happy memorial day! this one's of Tony's dad, Bob from his army days.

RIP Tori Stafford

No Fear in Heaven

There are so many things in life
that we can't understand,
like why a tragedy like this
can happen in this land.


One moment life is perfect
and the next it falls apart,
leaving us with nothing
but an eternally aching heart.


Our souls cry out in agony
amidst the suffering and despair.
We feel the pain and tear our clothes
and scream "It isn't fair!".


Spirits are now shattered.
Hearts will never be the same.
We grasp at straws and seek to find
the one who is to blame.


Horrific as our life now seems,
one thing remains quite true.
Our little ones have now been freed
to do things angels do.


They can't recall the horrors
of those last days they were here.
They remember not the terror,
the hurt, nor the fear.


There is no fear in Heaven.
No more sorrow. Only Joy.
It's filled with joyous laughter
from each little girl and boy.


We can only try to imagine,
in spite of all earthly wrongs,
our little angels are learning
the words to the Angel's songs.


Amidst the children's laughter
and their Heavenly play,
there's also more important
work going on there today.


Jesus is building mansions,
never taking time to sleep,
for Reunions are being planned,
yes, even as we weep.


The children gather around Him
and listen to Him speak,
for He has all the answers
that they curiously seek.


He tells them for a time,
in Heaven, they must wait,
and then they can meet us
at Heaven's pearly gate.

Happy Mother's Day mom

RIP mom, we love you. It feels so weird that we won't be hearing your voice this year, or seeing your smile as you have fun being onry again. Even though you've been gone almost 7 months, there's still times I catch myself seeing something in a store or starting to make a graphic & thinking "gotta show this to mom"

Cowboy memorial for Mom

Made this memorial for mom tonight from Mustang Saloon's paper. Soon as I saw the paper I knew it'd be perfect for a page for her since she loved westerns so much.

Collab tribute kits

I am hosting this collob kit and anyone is more than welcome to join in and make anything you wish for it all proceeds will go to SheyDragonStar to help with outstanding medical bills and up coming funeral costs for the sudden loss of her mom. Here is the color chart

and you can email your portions to SinfulJade@gmail.com or myself at indybelle@hotmail.com, any and all are welcome . I will leave it up to each designer to what they think of when they think of moms . I think of the home, the kitchen, smell of fresh baked bread when I walk in from school,... so I'm theming my kit based on that. all designs DUE on 2/24/09. Thank you so much in advance. I also wanted to thank all Jade's friends at SweetNSassy for donating their talents also. Sinful Jade is also co-hosting this tribute from her blog at http://sinfuljade.blogspot.com/. Once the preview is ready, I will upload the kit to Jade's store.

Thanks again,

Nyoka Jean

Getting together a mega collab kit idea if yall can help. one of my friends, Shey from Dragonstar Productions just had her mama die this week so we're trying to get a bunch of designers together to make kits, tags, whatever that are PTU & have the proceeds go to help offset the cost of the funeral. Jade over at http://sinfuljadecreations.blogspot.com/ is joining me on this effort. Anyone that can help with designs, or even with spreading the word would be so appreciated.
