Still I did manage a card after lunch and I share it now . I think it reflects how I feel because it is not a very bright card .

Sending a smile

Hello blogging friends , welcome to my room . Hope that you are all well and safe. There are  so many pockets of strife around the world, as in,  revolutions,conflicts, floods , freezing weather  and cyclones  not to mention our own mortal frailities , that I feel truly blessed and really grateful that I am healthy , happy and HOME.
I'm not sure if this just because I am " older " or what .
But, anyway to my point.. recently I made a card ...
http://shirley-anne-stampingforjoy.blogspot.com/2011/01/smile.html
specifically to give away . Tonight I have chosen someone who Annmaree mentioned on her posting . I have left a comment on Annmaree's blog to let her know[ just so you know it's truly so] and I have emailed the person organising the passing on of cards .
If you go to Annmaree's blog you can read about all the details
I will make another card  to give away ,  and will post here soon .
Catch you again soon , cheers for now Shirley-anne.

News of Michelle .

Hello my   blogging and card making  friends . Just an update on Michelle and her family .
The last time , about 1 1/2 hours ago , they were about 40 ks from Rockhampton . I believe that they would have arrived by now and settled for night .

This map will show you what Michelle and her family are fleeing .
Michelle has a craft friend at Mackay , Karen . Karen gave  so much help and stayed in contact with Michelle and Doug and I thank her for that .
So far they are safe and we give thanks to God  for that .
Will pass on news as it comes in . thank you all ... And the good news is that Michelle just rang ,
they are in Rockhampton safe and will probably stay  till clear to go home .
Hearing her voice calmed our worst fears .Thank you all for your thoughts , prayers and comments .
I'll be back tomorow in my craft room , so till then cheers for now Shirley-Anne
