How Cool Is That?! - Creative Monday Blog Hop

I have always admired the awesome creations from my namesake Judy who has a blog titled Judy's Handmade Creations so I was thrilled to be the lucky winner of her angel cards and bracelets giveaway. When they arrived in time for my birthday, November 4, I had to exclaim "How cool is that?!"
Whenever I see the figure of an angel it has a comforting effect on me and what better day to use these items to decorate a small table but on my birthday. The decorations included a pretty cloth, picture of my twin and me, the angel cards and bracelets that I won, a special necklace with an angel pendant and a small red candle in a flower candle holder. I lit the candle for a short while. Below are pictures of the items I won and the decorated table.

Rainbow Birthday Thoughts - Creative Monday Blog Hop

November 4 marks another birthday for me and again as a twinless twin. I use the day to reflect and remember good times as I know that my twin sister Janine would want me to be happy. It is not easy but I thank God that I can celebrate with my family.
Things keep happening to lift my spirit when I face the difficult months of each year. Recently I saw an awesome rainbow. I had not seen one in many years. It was so huge that I stood in awe. I got some shots but my camera was not able to do it justice. Amazingly as my family and I stood looking at it my mom recited this verse from a hymn that she used to sing in high school over 76 years ago:
"O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be."

I hope I get to see a rainbow soon again. In the meantime I will treasure these shots and be comforted by the wonderful words of the hymn.
