Happy January 2nd! (For lack of a better title)

Wow, here it is, already January 2nd. How time flies when you're having fun, right? Only today wasn't such a fun day. We had the funeral for one of our very oldest church members. Well, she wasn't the oldest in age, but one of the longest-time members. It was kind of a sad occassion, but ten not really all that sad if you believe, as we do, that she is now in the presence of the Lord. And that's a good thing! But it was sad for her family and friends who loved her and will miss her very much. But isn't that how we all usually try to look at death? That the deceased is in a better place and we grieve for ourselves and our own loss? But being with people you love, and sharing happy memories of the deceased, made it as "fun" as a funeral day could possibly be.
On to a lighter note. For Christmas Hubby gave me a gift card to Michael's, so on Monday I went there and got this Embellishment Center, and yesterday Hubby hung it up for me, so now I can get all nice and organized to do my crafts. That's one of my goals for the year, is to get organized and do lots of crafting. So now all I have to do is actually organize my supplies and get busy crafting lots of goodies!
