I'm Looking for Jacksonville, FL Bloggers

Okay my Southern girls, I'm calling ya'll out, but only in a nice way.  I'm looking for bloggers in the Jacksonville, Florida and surrounding areas.

Why might you ask?  Well, I've been blogging for sometime but I haven't really connected, non-virtually, with anyone in my area.  I have a ton of blogging questions and hopefully some tips and answers too that I think we could all benefit from.  Wouldn't it be nice to get together every so often and connect, share and laugh?  I think so.  I'd also like to find a mentor for myself.  I'm thinking of looking for someone to help me overhaul my blog design and would love it to be someone locally that I could work with on a closer basis. 

Has anyone else done this in their area?  How did it work for ya'll?  Do you meet every two weeks or once a month?  I would love to know more about you experiences.  Give me a shout out and let me know.  I'd like to feature your story on my blog.  I can't wait to hear from you!

Hugs...Tracy :)

A Sympathy Card for Twin Babies with Cricut

It's hard to know what to say when a baby passes.
I made this card a few days ago for my sweet friend Cindy.  Her precious twin granddaughters were stillborn and laid to rest this past weekend.  Please remember to say a prayer for Cindy and her family.  She has a strong faith in our Lord, but even then, tough times like this take so much out of you.

I decide to use the tree border from my Cricut Cindy Lou cartridge.  I used pink paper to represent the girls and the tree to represent the family.  The two raised hearts are for the sweet babies who will always be side by side.
I lined the inside of the card with little rose bud paper that reminds me of a flannel baby blanket.  It's accented with pink ribbon and a layered message.
It's a simple card but I hope the meaning behind it shows through. 

You can visit Cindy @ Blessings From Cindy.  I know that she would love to hear from others and to know others are thinking about her.

Thank  you all for visiting.  I love each and every one of you.  You comments mean so much to me.  Ya'll know how that lovin' blog feelin' goes.  It kinda makes your heart sing.

P.S.  I've been told that some people are having trouble leaving comments on my blog.  It this is happening to you, I would love to hear from you and hear what you might think the problem is or what happened when you tried but couldn't leave me a comment.

Have a blessed day ya'll....Tracy ♥

St. Patrick's Day Banner - Replay


“May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light. May good luck pursue you each morning and night.”

 This is a re-post of the banner last year for St. Patrick's Day.  I thought I'd share it with the new readers this year.  

 I made this one for my MIL Nadine and I sent one to my grandchildren, one to my niece and nephew in Atlanta, and one to my nephew in Fort Worth.

  Talented Viv over at Viv Out On A Whim made the cutest banner and I just stole her idea and made it a little different.  You really should go see her's here, it's so cute. Luckily she was kind enough to share where she got the precious printable images.  I had found this old pleated crepe paper last year at a thrift store, knowing it would come in handy sooner or later.  And I couldn't resist glittering the images so they sparkle and shine.


"Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter. Lullabies, dreams and love ever after. Poems and songs with pipes and drums. A thousand welcomes when anyone comes… That’s the Irish for you!"


May the Irish hills caress you.
May her lakes and rivers bless you.
May the luck of the Irish enfold you.
May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
~Irish Blessing

May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The insight to know where you are,
and the foresight to known when you've gone too far.

May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.”
Thanks again Viv!!!  
Hugs...Tracy :)
