{May Has Arrived}

  I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts.  We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield.  We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord.  I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it.  Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...

My favorite peeps call me Nana!         I'll be linking up with Stephanie on April 19th for the ex citing revealing of the Tea cup and mug excha nge but I couldn't stand it any longer so I had to share.

{Why the NAME-Creations By Cindy}

I wish I had a dollar for every time someone asked me after reading my blog name, "What do you CREATE ? LOL!  Well, there is a little story behind the blog name. Years ago I did photography on the side.  I've always enjoyed photography and ever since I can remember I've had a camera of some kind or another in my hands. Later in life, my Photography business simply became "Creations by Cindy" . I had a website for a long time.

It might be a picture, a meal, a craft, a tablescape or something.  I am a jack of all trades and a master of none!  And when it comes to a camera you never know what I might be snapping a picture of..... There came a time that I was burning t...
