~VALENTINE'S DAY EXCITEMENT~ STILL PULLING OUT STITCHES~ PRAYERS FOR A FRIEND~

~YUMMY VALENTINES~ ~THIS IS JUST A SMIDGEN' OF WHAT'S COMING~

I get so excited this time of year....with Christmas over, it's time to start getting ready for one of my favorite days, VALENTINE'S DAY. I think mostly because it has everything to do with my 2 favorite colors of PINK and RED!!!!
I'm working on the website filling it with tons of RED and PINK treasures. I will be sure to let you know when I am done. I have a funny story....I bought a whole bunch of 1900's Mechanical and Pop-Up Valentines a few years back and I tucked them away so good I couldn't find them. Well, I found them recently and tucked them away so good, I can't find them!!!! LOL...boy am I getting old. I will be busy tomorrow tearing apart the shop looking for them because they are going on the website.
PS...My second favorite thing about Valentine's Day....it's just that much closer to SPRING!!!! YIPPY SKIPPY!!!
Have a fun week, Amy

CANCER STILL SUCKS

Now....a little bit more about cancer......Yes, can you believe, I am STILL PULLING out stitches from my double mastectomy and ex-plant surgery. It's SHOCKING to say the least and yet another side effect from cancer. I have a sweet friend who emailed me a few days before Christmas to tell me she has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. If you can find it in your heart to say a prayer for her, it would be so greatly appreciated. She doesn't want me to say who she is, so we will just call her H.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!! ALL MY LOVE TO ALL OF YOU!!! Amy

~MERRY CHRISTMAS~

~MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE~ I wish each and every one of you a Blessed and Merry Christmas. I am truly thankful for all of you. For all that you have done, for all the love and prayers, for the good wishes and believing in me and encouraging me along the way. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!

May you be Blessed and Prosper in 2010.

All my love, Amy

I am so excited for both of them to start their new life together. Please say a prayer for both of them as Chase gets ready to deploy to Kuwait in December.

~REST IN PEACE TYLER, WE WILL FOREVER MISS YOU~

~SEE YOU AGAIN TYLER when we get to HEAVEN~

Tyler “TP” Ryan Peterson, 20, of 340 Eighth St., Marion, died Monday, Oct. 5, 2009, at home. Services: 11 a.m. Friday at Murdoch Funeral Home & Cremation Center, Marion. The family will greet friends from 4 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the funeral home. Private family burial: Oakshade Cemetery, Marion.
Survivors include his parents, Mark (Marianne) Wanerus and Rhonda (David) Supple; two brothers, Zack and Eli Matthess; grandparents, Terrie Counter, Don Peterson and Mike (Peg) Robison; great-grandparents, Gene (Fern) Struchen and Jean Sciaccotta; and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his great-grandpa.

Tyler was born July 11, 1989, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He graduated from Marion High School in 2008, and worked as a detailer at Cedar Rapids Toyota. Tyler loved cars, especially his truck, the “Fun Finder.” He also enjoyed 4-wheeling, music of all kinds (was a Motley Crue historian) and loved his dog, Obie.

Tyler was a beloved son, brother, grandson and friend to many.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial fund has been established in Tyler’s memory.
Please sign the online guest book for Tyler at http://www.murdochfuneralhome.com/ under obituaries.

Tyler was my FAVORITE of all of Kristi's friends. THAT BIG SMILE and that GIVING HEART!!!! Never an unkind word came from his mouth.

We are ALL so shocked and saddened by his passing. Please, go tell those that are important to you and that you care about that you love them. Life is so fragile and so senseless at times, and it all changes in an instant.

~GOD BE WITH YOU TYLER, WE WILL MISS AND LOVE YOU FOREVER, SEE YOU AGAIN when we ALL IN HEAVEN~
