Twice Paying it Forward.......with Love!


Hi Sweet Friends,


I am hoping you are All doing well dear friends!!








Lately I have been busy making another one of my bags for someone who contacted me on  Facebook recently.  She wanted to give her friend one of my bags to help her in her fight with Cancer. I was so honored to make this for her dear friend.







As I sewed each stitch and placed each embellishment on the bag, I prayed that this sweet woman would beat her cancer and once again enjoy her life to the fullest in good Health and Happiness.
As many of you know I send part of the money I recieve to go to KC Willis in her journey to help the Lakota Indians on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota.

This bag as My friend so eloquently put it is like "Passing it Forward Twice"...one to help her friend and then also to help the Lakota people.

Do you notice the little hand I attached here.......I attached it to the bag as a symbol of people helping and praying for those who are in need...no matter of the need....That they will have a helping hand to lift them up from their despair and pain. To give comfort and Love.


Wishing you All Blessings and Love upon Angel wings............


Susan

    Oh Susan
    that is such a beautiful gift - made with kind thoughts for the giver and receiver alike.
    Hopefully she will be healed and treasure your bag forever.
    A wonderful story of giving, not often found today.

    Sending prayers and loving thoughts - how good you are to 'pay it forward' twice.

    This post makes me feel grateful that there are people in so many walks of life, helping others in need.

    hugs

My Beautiful Sam Passed Away This Afternoon......

Hello Dear Friends, With an extremely heavy heart I tell you that I have lost my little friend tonight. I thought he was having hairball problems and so my husband and I brought him to the vets late this afternoon. Upon arrival Sam was gasping for breath and they rushed him into a room and gave him ogygen. The nurse asked us if she could take an x-ray to see what was going on. When the nurse came back to the room she told us the devastating news, that Sam had a tumor next to his heart and that his lungs were filled with fluid. I was just floored....I am still in shock. We had Sam for 4 1/2 years and he was...well how do I explain to you the love that he gave us....he was always there for me....he would lie by my side in bed when I was ill and after two major surgeries....he would eat, have is water, and just stay with me.
