I have a good friend down in Missouri, She called yesterday with a request for a sympathy card...Yes she is a paper crafter too...but this was for a special young girl and she wanted many to go out to her..
I usually struggle with sympathy cards, but this one went together nicely...not sure why, maybe because I did not know the person It would go to. What ever the reason, I liked it and thought I'd share it with you. I used a retired color from SU named Blue Bayou, and SU ink, Soft Sky , it is retired too...the lighter color is from a K&Co mat pack, and it is lightly textured.
I dressed it up a bit with pearl dew drops and then I used the ticket corner punch for a different edge... The design was one I copied down yesterday from "some where" sorry I do not remember where ..
Thanks for stopping in ,
and I hope you enjoyed your visit to MY FRONT PORCH

And back to my grand children... # 3 of Krista's children is Dustin, he is 6 and in his second year of T Ball...At this age it is so hard for them to really pay attention for very long. But I have to tell you, that they are so much fun...there is always some thing to make us a smile, if not totally crack up laughing. They forget to run after they hit the ball, or run the wrong way; or the are playing in the dirt in the out field in stead of catching the ball, or they might just visit with their friends !... but it is too funny !... They look so cute in their uniforms, and know they need a Gatorade...
I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures...I know they sure give me a lot of pleasure each time I look at them...

And next will be my oldest grandson Cody... This is his second year in the actual Pee Wee Ball league. He played
T Ball before. This year he is playing catcher position for the first time, as well as a few other positions in the field... I think he wants to learn to pitch... His dad Keith, bought him a bucket of balls and is working with him. He is learning a lot and doing a great job too ! He loves to play, and can "smack" a ball as he would say !
: )

We enjoy watching him, but his games are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and those are not easy nights for us to get away... : ( We are proud of Cody, and we think he is doing great ! Good Luck Cody, Keep up the good work... Grandma Soni and Grandpa Wally love you...

Did I mention just how handsome he is ??
