Hug from Far away

Posted in Crafts  9 Comments
Hug from Far away My dear friend Sam is grieving, her beautiful baby boy Joaquim was only with her for 2 months before he died. I can’t not even begin to imagine her and Manny’s pain.

But I guess no one tells your heart that it is supposed...

The new Boobs have landed!!!

So Thursday rolled around quite quickly, you know when you have been thinking of doing something your whole adult life and then suddenly it is there and it seems too soon.
