Hello there! I'd like to introduce myself..... My name is Joyce and I live in northern California, in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley. In 1975, I was blessed by God with a wonderful man named Stephen. Whether or not you believe in such a thing, ours truly was "love at first sight". We were married one year later. In time, we were further blessed with 5 beautiful children, four boys and one girl. Steve was my rock, my protector, my soul mate, and my best friend. We spent 30 precious years on this earth together, and for this I give thanks each and every day of my life.
Sadly, my dear Steve passed away in December of 2005. He was such a strong spirit and loving soul that I know he is still here, loving and watching over us.

Oh, my. That is beautiful.
Joyce, I can't say too much, but I have your name for the Christmas stocking swap.I'm just stopping by to get some ideas. I do have your stocking done, it's not really a big thing, but I'm kinda just starting with this blog thing. I have sewn for years and made things for my boys when they were little. I am very sorry for the loss of your husband, and so young too. But the Lord will uphold you and comfort you. Tootles ffor now.
I would like to get to know you more after the swap. I'm so afraid that I will slip ... my mouth. Oh, boy.
What a beautiful rose, happy Pin Saturday to you.
I love that jar, and that pink ice cream bowl and that pooh cup and....I guess you can guess that I love pink. Have a wonderful pink weekend!
