Oh My Goodness~~~Its Rednesday Already Ladies!!!

Thanks so much Sweet Sue for sharing your day with us!!!
Stop by Sue's REDNESDAY blog post and join in for the FUN of all things RED !!!





Here is one of our newest designs for this next business trip,, these will be put in the stores we set up in the Northwest area of Iowa,, yes a long drive it is for us tomorrow,, leaving in the wee hours,, when the worms get up that is..
We named the couple after our Pastor and his Wife~~~ "Connie and Dave"
WOW,, hope they won't mind, btw, they have been in Wedded Bliss for 32 years now :0)





This is just one of the neat places to stop in and see at Disneyland's Main St. USA~~
While planning my RED day,, I'm usually lost in our personal pics and finding others on the web.. In doing this I remembered all the pics we have of our Disneyland/Cali trip back home last summer..
Here is one Super~Hubb's and my MOST favorite places to be for vacations in the summer.. That and the Ocean too :0)
None of us were in the pic,, we are up seating at the top of the double decker bus
that runs down the street. What a treat to save up and go again.. It will take a few years, as even this wish is all in God's timing :0)



And this Lil girl was so Sweet to see all dressed up like Minnie Mouse for her day at Disneyland.. We had no idea who she was but it was a wonderful moment for here..
It makes me wonder why didn't Super~hubb's wait til the Lil girl turned around???
The gentleman here in the RED vest was ushering us to pose with Minnie after the Lil girl had her picture taken..

If you're wondering,,yes ,, we did get one with Minnie too but,, it will have to wait for another REDnesday :0)





"Sweet Friends~~~ You mean so much to me,, not for "What " you say but for the time you took from your day to stop by and say it"

From Me To You,, Sharing Things That Are BLUE~~~

Another BLUE Monday over at Smiling Sally ~~~Stop by and join in on the FUN!!!






Here's an Awesome start to my BLUE Monday~~~ I'd been looking through images for my otther blog where I post pictures of Christ and writings to go along with them.
So when I found this naturally,,, I thought of BLUE Monday and Sweet Sally..



The other day my Beautiful daughter Jenny and her husband Brian arrived to pick up the grandkids,, Cassie and Griffin so when I asked if they'd take time for a quick pic for my blog,, well,, they immedately posed for Mom here.. Thanks my Sweet Lil Girl,, my only girl out of 5 boys ( one is with Jesus waiting for his mommy )..






And why not add one in of Super~Hubb's and I at one of the boys Football games,, see up there,, there is a bit of BLUE in the sky..
It seems to me they lost this game too....I believe God is traing them up for next year,, as this is only there first in High School.. It jsut breaks a Mom's heart to watch them get all beat up and dirty too, and then lose in the process..
And THANKS Mimz @ He& Me + 3 for your loving advice the other day..You're a GEM,,you helped my day sparkle!!!

AND
Thanks to all of you for coming by soooo often...
Just a note~~~ I will be celebrating my Blogiversary in early October
and I'm taking suggestions for the giveaway since this is my first~~~HELP!!!
Prayerfully a dozen of our hand~designed greeting cards boxed,, will be sufficent,, some of them even have glitters ???????



There is also this beautiful image,, I'm not sure who the artist was that created it,, I soooo admire the artist though..
I found it on google and thought it was lovely,, the Lil poem too,, its fits from me to YOU Sweet Friends~~~Sisters in Christ..

Thanks for visiting today..
Hugs Dena
May God bless You along your way as you look to Him~~~Amen

"All Things Blue From Me To You"

Greetings Everyone,,so HaPpY you have stopped by!!!
Hop on over to Sally's Smiling Sally blog for some BLUE fun today!!!
Thanks Sally for being such a gracious host...






This may appear odd, but I thought it was Beautiful.. Not the cheesy Palm Tree with Christmas lights on it Girlfriends ( yes,, we do have one on our deck because I do miss the real ones in my old home state of So. Cali) but if you look just right in the angle you will see that one of God's lil creations called
the Spider has made a web up in the branch..
Amazing they are.. No,, not the Spider,, the web ;0)





This is a pic of a sign that will help identify the next photo :0) please note that it is BLUE in honor of the day..




Super Hubb's and I pass this BLUE motel by each time we deliver cards in the small town of~~~ Osceola Iowa.. For quite a few trips I always tell him,,ahhhh,, I should have had the camera out to snap that motel for a BLUE Monday..
So this last business trip I did just that.. In fact Super~Hubb's parked in a lot across from it just for this post .. Too bad the angel isn't very good.


Isn't this a Glorious photo of Gods Beautiful BLUE sky... We were at our sons football game and Praise the Lord,,it was NOT raining this time.. We were soaked last week and sadly,, they lost..
There uniforms are black and orange or I would show our 2 football sons..
They sure look nice in the uniforms,, and keep trying to win ..
We just tell everyone that its the new coaches 1st year with the team ..
God has blessed them with 1 win though....Honestly,,, Super~Hubb's and I prayed at the very end of the game and there team won by 1 point!!!

That will be all for this week and I Thank You all so much for your inspiring comments...May God's blessings be poured out on you as you follow Him in your new week~~~HaPpY BLUE Monday~~~Hugs Dena

This past Monday we have our grand kids after school,, in fact we are the school bus so to speak ;0)...

Of course ,,, she was HaPpY to...



Her she is again with her baby doll and its PINK blanket...

Now for my other ideas on this post guess I'm unsure.. It seems I write too much sometimes or that I just don't have the right things to take pics of for every ones enjoyment.. Most of you wonderful women in PINK blogland have soooo many pretty things to show all of us.. It is just great to stop iin at your posts !!!
I better be looking into acquiring more nic~nack for our home that are PINK and then there is Rednesday too,,plus BLUE Monday..
Wow,, blue is soo much easier to come up with.. Guess I'll drop some hints to my Super~Hubb's for more PINK and RED Pretties to decorate with ;0)





In the mean time Girlfriends,, here is another of our PINK roses for you to enjoy.
This was taken before the bugs started there ravenous
rampage on the leaves :0(
Super~Hubb's took care of those pesky things (the rose bugs) without a moment to spare..



Oh my goodness,, this funny Tater just happened to show himself as I was going thru our Disneyland pics from last summer,, hunting for all things PINK..
Can you see the Huge PINK ears??? This was the Toy Story ride at Disney's Adventure Park,, just across from Disneyland sort of.. Super~Hubb's and I soooo enjoyed the ride Toy Story,, and this Mr Potato head will talk to people as they wait in the LONG line for the ride.. Its funny!!!






Thanks Sweet Friends for visiting my post and leaving me your notes,,they are such a Blessing to my heart.. Huggggggggggggggggggg and LOVE~~~Dena

"Queen Greta The Fabulous Sno~Lady"

Above is a Sno~Lady that was created for a very Special Friend that God has blessed me in knowing through emails..
She has grown very dear to my heart..We were not aware that God would bring us together as friends when she wrote requesting some ( lots :0) of our greeting cards.

Shes a very encouraging woman that lives out west, a wonderful woman of God that is always inspiring and is sooo thoughtful in sending me neat "God Notes" I will call them,, to my email even in her busy days being the worship leader at her church..
Giving her all to our Sweet Lord and many others there I'm sure.
We have never meant as yet,,but I soooo am enjoying being blessed
by God with her friendship.. I truly enjoy reading her memories she shares about her late husband and all of her family...Love you Greta and all your notes..


She was kind enough to let me share this email from her with all of You,, my Sweet Girlfriends~~~Sisters in Christ.. Just yesterday I had told her I was a bit down in one of my emails I'd sent,, and that I wasn't sure why..So she surprised me last night about 9:30 Iowa time with,, these beautiful images and words from
a short,,but moving story...
Its a good easy read and I asked her if I could share it and the Sno~Queen with you.
Just as with her and I~~~ this goes for all of you too~~~
We may never meet here on this earth but one day we will meet in Heaven with
Our Sweet Jesus in the midst of us.

And here it is just below these THANK YOUs meant With all My Heart

Reminded of Some Blessings

This is Kent and I taken a year or so ago. It was his first time to step onto a beach and feel the sand in his toes and to be able to smell the salty sea air and to truly witness the Majesty of God's Amazing Ocean.. We were at a beach in So. Cal where I am from and Kent was so stunned by the size and sounds of the Ocean.. In fact it was so stunning to him he was afraid.. He had never seen anything like it he'd said... It truly is just some of Gods majesty.. And it was such a GREAT experience to watch Kents face ,,he told me that the sight of all the water was almost overwhelming to him...
The reason I post this is to share that just today we were reminded of just how,,when you close your eyes,,((or I suppose you can even hear it if you leave your eyes open too)),, and the breeze through the trees sounds just like the waves as they come in to touch the sand.. It is really quite astounding..





So much so that when it is actually windy gusts,,, as it goes swiftly rustling through the trees can even sound like larger waves coming in..
Kent and I just think it is yet another of God's miracles and we don't even have to be at the Ocean to hear it.. And thta another blessing in itself,,as we are not able to get back home very often to walk on the beach of course.
You too can hear it the next time you may have a quite moment out relaxing with trees near you.. I can even hear it through the windows..



Its a Joy and a Blessing from Our God most high,,, and I wanted to share in it with all of you,,, my Sweet Friends...
You are all Blessings to me and I thank you with all my heart...
