Thank you for all of your emails and prayers for Ric and his family. Unfortunately, the outcome was not what we had all hoped. They found his body this afternoon. Here is a link with a little more information, in case you are interested. Thank you again for your prayers. I know his family really appreciates it and so do I.
I promise to post again soon with something more uplifting…maybe even a card or a layout. *Ü*
This simple little card was made using Heavenly Blue Cardstock, CTMH’s Argyle and Happy Birthday stamp sets, some Chocolate Grosgrain Ribbon, White Daisy Just Blooms Flowers, and a few CTMH Buttons. Not much to it, but in my usual simple style, this is my latest creation….

I have been wanting to get an inexpensive sewing machine to sew on my cards and layouts for a long time. (I would actually love to learn how to “really” sew someday too, but I just can’t afford another hobby at the moment.) I had heard that Janome’s Sew Mini was great for sewing paper…

I was excited to visit Jeanette Lynton’s (CTMH Founder & CEO) blog today to find a great article on journaling. As I was reading through the article, I was excited to see an adorable layout featuring photos of my daughter. Here is the layout that the Corporate Art Department made using my “baby’s” photos. Be…
I am very sorry to hear this. I know how sad you and your friend’s family must be.
A CTMH sister,

I have been following his story ever since your first post and praying and praying. I am so sad to hear the news. It just makes me want to cry. I hope his family can find the strength to get through. I will keep you and them in my prayers.
I am so sorry to hear this. I will keep the family in my thoughts and prayers.
Thanks for keeping us updated.
Although the news is very sad and not what the family would have wanted, at least now there can be some closure, instead of just waiting and wondering. Prayerfully, Ric was a believer. Continued prayers go out for the family. Sad, sad news…
So sorry to hear about Ric. I will pray for his family.
