She's Back!

It’s been far too long since I shared with you about the women of “She”.

So…drum roll please…

You are getting a two for one deal today!
This is my aunt Cece & cousin Cherith!
They are two of my favorites! Growing up in Washington, away from my extended family I didn’t have tons of time with these two but in recent years the Lord has provided time for us, amazing time that I would not trade for the world. Time I wish that I could go back to…awe the good ‘ol days!

Aunt Cece inspired the card, “She…exudes warmth”. Her card was the first I created and there was no question at all about how to describe her. My aunt Cece is home to me. Just being around her makes me calm and if I could describe how she makes me feel without words it would be in a huge shoulders raised and then dropped sigh. She is my peaceful place. Aunt Cece is one of those people you can come to in complete confidence; she listens, never judges and is one of the most accepting people I know. More generous than you can imagine I am forever thankful for the way that she (and U.B.) have provided for me. Aunt Cece, thank you for always giving your whole heart, to being a mother to all, for supporting my dreams…I love you!

Cherith inspired the card, “She…has a knack for most things”. She really does! She has always been one of my best friends and more like a sister than a cousin. We share a passion for design and it was such an amazing two years we spent together when I lived in Cali during design school. I love the way she knows how I think. There is never a shortage of laughter when we are together. Cherith can make something out of nothing and never gives herself credit. She is a great cook and a wonderful wife and mother. Cherith, thank you for never giving up on me! Thank you for teaching me about so many things, and for trusting me with Chloe. You will never know how much it has meant to me to be able to be there for those crucial years. I am forever changed by your sweet little girl and the way that you care for her. I have no doubt that the Lord is faithful and I know that he will continue to give you the strength you need…you are my favorite!

I love your words. I know how much my card meant to me and your description, so I know they are loving this post dedicated to them.

It's a revolution...and we're starting one mailbox at a time.
