Christmas Wish


Sayre's Christmas Wish



Merry Christmas to a little girl named Safyre who lives in Schenectady, New York.  Two years ago there was a fire and Sayfre was the only family member to survive.  She lost her father and her three siblings in that fire.   Sayfre sustained extensive injuries and has had to undergo many surgeries. She is now 8 years old and is living with her aunt.  Sayre's surgeries are not over. They are planning another one in early January.  
For Christmas, Sayre's aunt brought her a Christmas tree card holder.  So, Sayre made a Christmas wish,  that she would receive cards from all over the world to fill that card holder up!  
So many people from all over have responded and helped make Sayre's Christmas wish come true!


Here is the card I handmade and sent to Sayre

Let's Get Sketchy December Week 1

 Greetings!
Well it is officially Christmas Time!!!  Time to use all our beautiful Christmas stuff!  This week's sketch from Let's Get Sketchy was designed by, Brenshevia.  It was a lot of fun doing this challenge!  The photo is of my children when they were very young.  They both fit in our rocking chair together!  That is how little they were.  Sky and Ashley were all dressed up in their Christmas finery!  So out came the camera!  We ended up using this photo for our Christmas cards that year.
