Merry Christmas Stampin’ Friends,
On this Christmas Eve I write to you as you may have noticed my absence over the past few days, and I wanted to take a moment to share a glimpse of why these days have been incredibly precious to me.
This year has been marked by a profound loss for my family. In October, we said goodbye to my great grandson, Armani. His departure left a void that seemed insurmountable. But amidst this heartache, something beautiful emerged—our family grew closer, drawing strength from each other in a way we hadn’t before. (I was helping him put his Christmas presents together last year).
The past few days and during Christmas are about cherishing every moment with my family. We’ve held each other a little tighter, laughed a little louder, and found solace in being together during this holiday season. That little boys love touched so many.
In the midst of this personal journey, I’ve been profoundly moved by the unwavering support you’ve shown me, both personally and in my stamping business. Your kindness, messages of encouragement, and understanding during this time have meant the world to me. Your support has been a source of comfort, and I’m deeply grateful for each and every one of you who has been there for me.
From the depths of my heart, I wish you a blessed Christmas. May the holiday be filled with warmth, peace, and the joy of being surrounded by those you hold dear.
Merry Christmas my friends ~

Thank you Linda for sharing your story. It is so difficult losing a family member, I know….I lost my Daughter and my sister lost her 2 Daughters. We struggle every Christmas, but are so very thankful for our memories, and in reliving them we find comfort for the time God let us have them. After all they are only on loan until he needs them back.
May God Bless you and keep you safe this Holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Thank You Barbara ❤ Your kind words meant the world to me. I agree, and I believe we were blessed to have that amazing little boy in our lives for as long as we did.
Gods blessings to you as well. Thank you again. Linda
