Operation Write Home Midweek Throwdown challenge http://www.owhstarsandstamps.org/ Their challenge this week is Halloween!

Why? Well, if something unfortunately happened to one of our heroes, and a gloomy card was the final communication between them and their family—you get the idea? We want to help that be a positive memory for all concerned! ...

So in Celebration I dedicate this art piece to ALL the strong, beautiful, dedicated and smart WOMAN I am blessed to have in my life! The word of God talks many times of friendship but this is one of my favorites: Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them...
