Two Crazy Crafters

Greetings from southwest Missouri! The weather is perfect lately. Muffin is enjoying it very much.

We had an exciting weekend. We went to St. Louis with my friend Susan. We went to the art museum, the Basilica and ate lunch at the Lemp Mansion. We all came home tired, but had a great time.

My friend Susan is a breast cancer survivor. She told us almost 2 years ago that she had breast cancer and I can honestly say I never heard one negative word from her. She had the Best attitude and helped Us through the ordeal. We were heartbroken. She’s been my best friend since we were little girls and my kids think of her as their aunt.

She had a mastectomy and had to have a year of chemo and a month of radiation. She is a trooper in every since of the word. Her mastectomy was on a Thursday morning and she was back to work the following Tuesday. She runs a daycare center from her home and has for the past 25 years. She has no children of her own, but considers that she has helped to raise over 200 kids.

She also received the Silent Hero Award. She is always trying to do things to help her community. Needless to say we are very proud of her and are so grateful we have her in our lives.

I thought since next month is breast cancer awareness month, it would be a good time to tell you about my remarkable friend.

Thank you to Deb, who we had a private swap with. She sent Lindsey and I some very nice treats and we appreciated it so much. If you have not met Deb yet, you should visit her blog, Garage Sale Gal. She is always entertaining and very sweet.

Cherish each passing moment,
The laughter and the tears . . .
For days go by swiftly,
And gather into years.

Wishing you much happiness! Twyla
