~~ fun fact from January 2025: hubby and I quietly celebrated our #29 wedding anniversary! 2017-2018 was a horrible medical year for both of us; we are both considered medical miracles; Praise goes to God for the saving our lives and the work He still has for us here on earth!
Beautifully creative!!

DeleteA beautiful Christmas card Becca, the soft inking behind the stamps gives it a lovely peaceful feel which is perfect with the sentiment.

I'm appreciative for that feedback and for the anniversary wishes! It's not been an easy 29 years but not boring! Some highs and lows. Committed through it all.
DeleteWhat a beautifully-designed card, Becca! I love the soft country flavor, and the woodsy, natural colors. It's lovely! Thanks for sharing your good news about 29 awesome years together with hubby, Becca! In April, ours will be 49, and each year is more dearer, isn't it? I'd like to particularly thank you for your recent visit to my blog. I'm not able to reciprocate as I once did, but you touched my heart, and offered me great encouragement on an especially difficult day. SOOOOO, thank you! Wishes that you continue defying the odds, and live your miraculous lives with grace and love.

Oh, how sweet! My husband was married for almost 25 years to his first wife who died about 8 weeks before that milestone. And then I was introduced to him about 3 months later and we married within 7 months + 1 week! Neither of us thought we'd reach this far but with God's grace and mercy, we have! Thanks for visiting!
