23 With me in them and you in me, may they be so perfected in unity that the world will recognise that it was you who sent me and that you have loved them as you have loved me. 24 Father, I want those you have given me to be with me where I am, so that they may always see my glory which you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. 25 Father, Upright One, the world has not known you, but I have known you, and these have known that you have sent me. 26 I have made your name known to them and will continue to make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them, and so that I may be in them.

Now comes that time give a shout out to those I am following and to thank those those who have jointed me to celebrate the journey in life and crafts.
Cecy Medina Is very talented Latin senorita. She is a card and mixed artist. I thoroughly enjoy visiting her to see what she has made. You never really know what she will come up with so be prepared to be pleasantly surprised. While you are there Don't forget to leave behind a little love.
Centellazul is another Latin senorita. She is from Mexico and quite talented. Her cards are a delight. They are always well done and her artistic eye is excellent. Stop by and give a look. You might find yourself pausing for a better look at her creations. Please visit her comment section and leave some love.
Kimberly is a gem of a card creator. You never really know what to expect when you visit. Her range of creativity is excellent. There are times when she hints at her humor with her cards. Stop by and try to catch the different ways this artist expresses herself. You just might be surprised. I know you will like what you see. Leave behind a bit of love while you are at it.
Today I am going to show you a bit of that Kimberly artistic talent. I commented on a card she did that I was very impressed with. She then sent it to me. I can honestly say it is even more impressive in person. It is simple but very elegantly done. Here is the card.
The subject matter is very dear to me and it is one of my treasures.
(The top pearl sustained some discoloring in our wonderful U.S. Mail.) The detail is absolutely perfect on this card. My photos do not do your card justice. Impressive and it is an honor to get this card. Thank you Kimberly.
Since this is the last Post before Easter, I want to share My favorite poem I have written. (It is copyrighted and in the Library of Congress so please do not copy and claim it as your own.)
CRUCIFIED
"Old man! From
whence do you come?"
"I come from 70
times 7000 yesterdays
of happiness and
sorrow."
"Old man! Where are you going?"
"I go to the
memories of tomorrow’s forever
where death has died and
life is born."
"Old man! How are
you called?"
"I am peace in turmoil,
hope in the
hopeless and love in the
lost."
"Old man! What do
you want?"
"I want to go blind
and see, deaf and
hear, mute and speak, die
and be born,
cry to laugh, but most of
all to find
the love lost in days
past."
"Old man! Have you
found what you search
for?"
"I have found a beam
and a cross beam,
three nails, a hammer, a
crown of thorns
and a lance that await
me. When I meet
them my love will be
there."
"Old man! When
will this happen?"
"In the measure of a
breath already
forgotten as a memory
that has not yet
happened."
And then the old man was gone.
Remember to LOVE THE DETAILS. See you after Easter. Have a wonderful Holiday and God Bless you all.
