Just wanted to share this...

Miss Me, But Let Me Go

When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me,

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room,

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little, but not too long and not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love... that was once shared, miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take, and each must go alone.

It's all part of the master's plan, a step on the road to home.

 When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know,

and bury your sorrows in good deeds.

Miss me, but let me go.

This was a poem at my uncle's funeral yesterday.

My cousin posted it for all of us to read.

This totally says it all.

Dressing up a plain brown bag...

take a plain brown handled bag...

these I got at the Dollar Tree...

2/$1.00...

and then I used a glue stick and glued the envelope onto the bag at an angel...

just sign your card and stick in the front...

ME cards are great...

they come with the cutest envelopes...

and you can so embellish them so much more!

you can do this for any occassion and have the brown bags on hand...

any card will do...

just have fun with it...

we are getting closer the big day...

and it still looks like Christmas outside...

which I know the retailers are thrilled with...

but I imagine the kids are pretty excited about it, too...

look- I have green snap dragons!

my DH is keeping an eye on the major storm that may be coming in on Thursday night...

so many people have plans for traveling, so I hope it doesn't happen...

I am so ready to take down the trees and pack up the nutcrackers again...

I have rearranging plans and walls need washed...

it is so time to do another purging...

it's not so bad in good weather...

I just go outside and don't have to look at it...

but when we are stuck inside all the time...

oh, the things you see that need to be done!

why do we accumulate so much stuff?

Rebecca and I have a booth together and at the end of the month we are moving to a new location in the mall...

we are both  hoping this will increase our sales...

and I have so much more that will be going in there...

we have decided to go all white displays...

so all of our area is cohesive...

and I think all the things then will just pop out at you...

and hopefully increase sales...

my gf will do all the work...

and she has so much energy...

which is a good thing...

can you believe we are talking Valentines Day and Easter already?

that's the way of retail...

always a season ahead...

and it will come sooner than we can imagine...

and winter will be behind us...

and we will sit and wonder...

where does all the time go?

maybe I put it in my other pocket...

or we tubbed it!
