Amy on her Birthday!

 She is a sweetheart of a daughter...who always seems to have an optimistic 

view of life. 

A quote she has in her room reveals

 her thoughts well..

"Its a wonderful life"!

A January day at the Bay Window Quilt Shop in Perham!

Several ladies car pooled about an hour north to this creative and fun quilter's dream store.  It was a cold winter day outside but inside it was warm, colorful and inspiring.  Needless to say we had a lovely time.
