Carol Mae found my site and
we connected immediately,
finding that we shared many things
in common with one another!
She loves creating altered art and
she is diligent as she goes "thrifting" to
hunt for "golden treasures" of the past.
She has an Etsy shop where she sells
her beautiful art work and lovely antiques,
hoping each "beloved friend" will find
a trusted home! Her warmth and thoughtfulness
always makes my day seem brighter
because I know she really cares!
Like me, preservation of the past is very
important to Carol as she has a large, loving
familyto hand down many beautiful items to
be cherished. Her beautiful art and her life speaks
directly from her precious heart! Her vintage
images with their sweet accents of lace, ribbon,
and thoughtful words, speak voloumes about Carol's
wonderful love for lifeand her bright personality.
Her art inspires me to reach inside myself to
create images that speak of only one thing...
Love!

She is so kind and compassionate and reaches
out to everyone through her journal on her site.
She posts everyday, always giving encouragement,
inspiring others, and emotionally supports those
who are feeling down. But her main objetive in her posts
is to write and praise the one she so happily serves,
her Savior, Jesus Christ! She hosts Miracle Monday

in the world and miracles do abound, if we
would only stop long enough to recognize them.
Her strong faith is so contagious! You will be drawn

she is having, she ALWAYS, exemplifies the character
of Christ in how she deals with her day to day problems.
Everyone of us has a cross we have to bear, but it is in how
we bear that cross that shows the world what we are made of.
Tracy by, wonderful example, carries her cross with ease
because she knows that she stands on solid ground and
will never fail. Her confidence and security is always
with the Lord as He guides her every step!

or just want to be inspired , please go by her
site and read her wonderful posts. I promise it will
makeyour day brighter and will make your burdens light!
