crafting with grandma . . . Grand Prix Car Slippers
My grandson Josiah loves cars! He loves "fixing" cars . . . his daddy is a mechanic after-all . . . he loves "driving" cars, he loves playing with cars . . . he just flat out loves cars! So, when he asked me to make some slippers for him, it seemed pretty obvious what "kind" of slippers I needed to make! I looked on-line and found a pattern for Grand Prix Slippers . . . and got busy making a pair for Josiah and an additional pair for baby Caleb!

It's Christmas . . .

If you know Jesus, then I'm sure you'll be celebrating one of the most important happenings in all of history, too! If you do not yet know Him, I pray this year you will come to know Him Who loves you so much, He was willing to leave Heaven, be born as a tiny baby in a stable and ultimately grow up and give His life on a cross so we can be forgiven! Talk about the best Gift ever!!!
Merry Christmas everyone, and thank you for reading my blog!

Merry Christmas . . . Mary Did You Know?
There are many wonderful Christmas songs we all enjoy each year, but one song, while it hasn't been around very many years, is sure to find it's place on most "favorite" Christmas song lists . . . Mary Did You Know by Mark Lowry! This song is being sung by lots of people, and is being sung well by them, but no one sings it like Mark Lowry! Enjoy!

grandma's heartbreak:^( - missing children - Ayla Reynolds

So far I have shared photos and information about Jhessye Shockley, Aliayah Lunsford, Sky Metalwala, Andrew, Alexander and Tanner Skelton and Bianca Jones . Sadly, these children are still missing. Please keep them in your prayers.
Today I ask you to pray for a missing girl, Ayla Reynolds. This little girl is one year old, is listed as an "Endangered Missing" child, and is missing from Waterville, Maine. She was last seen in her home at approximately 10pm on December 16th. Ayla has blond hair and blue eyes, weighs 30 pounds and her arm is in a sling. Ayla's family is heartbroken and wants to know where she is. Please pray for this sweet girl and for her family and please share this post.

I hope all of you take a moment to jot down the sweet, adorable and funny things your grandchildren say . . . they are treasures most certainly worth saving!

A Fun Idea for Someone on Your Gift List . . .

I particularly love their Alpine Polar Bear Jar . . . of course it is filled with sweet treats to eat, and when the cookies are gone the Polar Bear Cookie jar remains!!!! Send your favorite cookie recipe as well so whomever receives it can refill it with their own home-baked sweet treats! This little polar bear is all dressed in his red flannel jacket, scarf and hat and is ready for a day of playing in the snow! He is sure to brighten the counter of anyone who receives him - and the faces of anyone who looks inside and finds a sweet treat to enjoy as well! The cookies are soft, chewy and tasty - a sweet delight! This combination is a wonderful gift to enjoy now - and for years to come!
Merry Christmas . . . God is With Us!!!

Help Your Grandchildren Focus on the Word This Christmas!
As we think about how Christmas and how Jesus, The Word, became flesh and lived among us, it is a wonderful time to involve your grandchildren in an opportunity to work on a project to raise money to bring God's Word to people who do not have it! There are a number of projects available for you to select from, consider this one from the SeedCompany . . .
Even More of My "Favorite Things" . . .
Over a year's time I review a lot of books, but there are a few which stand out as my "favorites" . . .
My Favorite Things - Books -
My Favorite Things - Books -
- When it comes to books for young children, A Dog is a Dog has to be on my list of "favorite things"! I love the simple text which is sure to keep you guessing - and flat out laughing! A Dog is a Dog is clever, fun and unexpected . . . the ending is a "hoot"! It is not stretching too far - or even stretching at all - to say this book is an absolute delight! I love the illustrations - they are so fun - and I love the story . . . what a creative and engaging story . . . children and adults alike will be guessing which animal comes next! Most certainly get this book for your grandchildren! It is tremendous!
