<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><em>I was totally amazed at the creativity of this very special group of 11 other women! Each of these are little works of art that I will treasure (no trading these off!). A few months ago I purchased a Crop-A-Dile eyelet pliers and have been eyelet crazy ever since! When I made my cards, I put at least one, sometimes more on each card, as I planned all along to turn my 12 Days of Christmas ATCs into ornaments. </em></span><br />

We see beneath the surface, to the qualities which make our beloved special and unique. To see with loving eyes, is to know inner beauty. And to be loved is to be seen, and known, as we are known to no other. One who loves us, gives us a unique gift: a piece of ourselves, but a piece that only they could give us.</em></span><br />

<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>Marriage is to belong to each other through a unique and diverse collaboration, like two threads crossing in different directions, yet weaving one tapestry together. While love is our natural state of being, these other qualities are not as easy to come by. They are not a destination, but a journey.</em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<em></em></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><em>The true art of married life is in this an inner spiritual journey. It is a mutual enrichment, a give and take between two personalities, a mingling of two endowments which diminishes neither, but enhances both.</em></span><br />

But I truly had a wonderful day! Good times! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I be sure and count my many, many blessings . I be sure and pray for world peace so that something like what happened nine years ago does not ever happen again, anywhere. This I pray everyday, and I am truly grateful for all the wonderful, loving people in my life!</span><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-size: large;">So today I am sharing my birthday dessert! Even though I am not Italian, I adore Tiramisu! A few weeks ago I found these lovely goblets at the Goodwill Store. They are De Uberti Silverplate. Wonderful pairing, don't you think?</span></em><br />

I decided I would visit some past Halloweens - maybe I need to go through the non-didgital photos to find more Halloween things. But first up a photo I took of a photo from my childhood (the good ole sixties!). That's me on the right as Cinderella with my syblings. I can remeber how excited I was to have a store-bought costume!<br />

Usually I wait until a day or so before Halloween before carving, but I think the one below I actually carved for my neighbor (she's a vet) a couple of weeks before Halloween.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRofbBru7Fzvnidp7_s5NPJ4H-lDkv4oUlUfxjADnLAt8KpE5P7c61dIewu1-tTuRLegp250E6jDSQgFVVVRzOKS0cYUNyfbRBZT9iqHR9U15pLz3LNcyX-kppaliULVRFkZZU/s1600/jackolantern-01-2008_BlancheKnake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="333" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRofbBru7Fzvnidp7_s5NPJ4H-lDkv4oUlUfxjADnLAt8KpE5P7c61dIewu1-tTuRLegp250E6jDSQgFVVVRzOKS0cYUNyfbRBZT9iqHR9U15pLz3LNcyX-kppaliULVRFkZZU/s400/jackolantern-01-2008_BlancheKnake.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
Finally, my favorite one to carve - I think I have carved this same one almost every year for over a decade- The Headless Horseman!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
