Cuties...just a thought. Life throws us curves, lemons, sadness, joy, ungrateful relatives and even some friends. You can't pick your family...but you can pick your friends. On this site we are given a new chance...especially now with CHRISTmas. It's a site to share, care, encourage, hug and love each of us. My New Years Wish for all of us is that we simply do this, releasing the hurts and remember as best we can...it isn't OUR loss because these people choose to be the way they are. It truly is THEIR loss, because they miss out on what we have to give...LOVE. You grandparents with ungrateful kids and grands maybe you should intrude in their lives more often. Call the long distance once a month. Tell them you are alive and well...thank you for asking. It has taken me many years to come to this conclusion and the peace it affords. May you also find this peace. It may not make the initial sting hurt any less, but it does make it easier to handle. Hope you are having a blessed last week of 2014.

Well said, my dear. I send Christmas cards to all my family, even those that don't want to know that I exist and I am their mother.
Forgive yourself, forgive others and be at peace.
Happy New Year, Cuties!!!!

Thank you, life is really too short to do anything else. If they don't want you...may I adopt you? Please and thank you.

You are welcome. It just frosts me when someone is hurt by others and they feels so alone. Been there, treated that way and am SOOOOOOO over it!

We are all alike in some way shape or form. We have our ups and downs. We are Artesians, from just beginning to highly experienced, we do love what we do though and ea. of us still want to do even better, this is our common thread. On our journey we have learned we cry, we laugh we care about each other. This helps with the stings we receive from others. The world is the world and it has flaws so let us keep on keeping on with our crafts and in this and each other we will feel blessed and find joy in what we accomplish here in the Wonderful World of Cute Embroidery/lillian

This is perfectly stated Miss Lillian and I completely agree.

by lbrow 28 Dec 2014

Ok my dears. My beloved Chris pointed out my spelling mistake, the word should be Artesan and not Artesian. Artesian is a deep well and Artesan is an Artist I truly do know the difference . Just need to watch my spelling better. These Librarian/school teacher daughters of mine would really read me the riot act should they see some of my mistakes sometimes LOL/Lillian

Well said Lillian hugs your ole friend Carolyn xx

I just found this in facebook.
Hi Aunt Christine

I remember you mostly from pictures, but I know you came for a visit when I was about four or so. My son Aidan and I got the winter hats you sent for Christmas last year (maybe the year before?), and I thought that was very sweet.

I hope you enjoy the holidays and it's great that you found me on here!

by Leaha 27 Dec 2014

How wonderful for you. What a great way to make a start for the New Year. So Happy you found this. :)

by cfidl 27 Dec 2014

It has made my season brighter. I enjoy facebook when my family posts.

Thank you. As we do not know what they may be facing or has happened to them. We should let go of the hurt, but if it continues then we should distance ourselves from them.
Have a blessed new year!

I agree, if one is able too, everyone just has to decide on their own in space and time. I just hurt for those on here who appear to be having problems. Wanted them to know someone cares. :)
