It's me ...Mavis said...

Why is it that little boys like drawing moustaches on their faces? My son use to do the same thing with my eyeliner pencil :)

Nadine ~ You are so right...God is Wonderful!! :)

Mavis ~ LOL...I am just so glad it was the washable felt he used and not the "sharpie"! And I told him what your boy did and warned him that my make-up is off limits! :)

Lady Farmer ~ Thank you! I suppose I always took forgranted my Dad's artistic abilities...until I was grown up. He kindly gave us this picture a few years back ~ it's the original and we are so happy to have it in our home. :)

Jenny ~ Thanks for stopping by! Your blog is such a lovely place to visit...I would love to comment there, but do understand what you are seeking to accomplish. Have a lovely day!

Christa ~ Absolutely! We have SO much to be thankful for when we have the Lord! In fact ~ to quote my Emma, "Mummy, you are blessed ~ even if you don't feel blessed, you are ~ because of the Lord!" Out of the mouths of babes...

May the Lord bless you all today!
Camille
