As many of you know I've been away from DA a lot latley. I mentioned to you before that I've been really busy on a project and now my project is up and running. It would thrill me to no end if as many as would, would take a moment and check out my new website I share with a friend. The site is called [link] My friend, Paige and I have started a site where we take old things and make them new again. Our goal here is to produce a product using as much "trash" as we can and try to do our part in helping save the earth as well as help with the now enormous task of making ends meet within our families. Paige makes handmade, one of a kind, greeting cards and thus her page at Colorfully Green is under Greeting Cards. I make skirts and jumpers for little girls, also one of a kind given the nature of where I get my supplies. My page is called Patchwork Garments. We have other pages for ordering and contacting us and stuff like that, too.
So when you get a minute please drop by and look around. I would LOVE any and all feedback - positive or negative. We are brand new at this and could use all the constructive criticism you may offer. Thank you so much and I also would like to say thank you for not casting me off since I've not had much of a chance to be around latley. You are my dear friends and I've missed hanging out here and visiting with all of you. Take Care, all of you.

I've really missed checking out all your wonderful deviations and reading my messages and yours to me. Please don't abandon me as I hope to be back soon. I just have a lot to take care of yet but I will try to make some time for you, my dear friends.
My hope and prayer is that you are all doing great and having a happy and photographically prosperous fall. (or what ever medium helps you express yourself. )
May your days be glorious and I will be back soon and hopefully catch up!!
Take care sweet friends.

I am sending you this letter because there is something I want you to know. I just wanted to let

you know how much I love and care about you and how I greatly desire to become a meaningful

part of your life.

This morning when you awoke, I was already there with you in the light of my beautiful

sunshine that filled your room. I was hoping that you would say "Good Morning" to me; but

you didn't. So, I thought maybe it was just a little too early in the day for you to notice me.

Again, I tried to get your attention when you stepped out of your door I kissed your face with a

soft gentle breeze. I breathed upon you my fragrant sweet breath scented with flowers. Then I

sang you a love song through the birds in the trees. You just walked right past me.

Later on in the day. I watched over you as you were talking with some of your friends. Oh, how

I wished that you would talk to me also. I waited, but you just went along your way.

This afternoon I sent you a refreshing shower and glistened to you from each little rain drop. I

even shouted to you a time or two with thunder, trying to get your attention, then I painted

you a lovely rainbow in the midst of my fluffy white clouds.

I just knew you would see me then, but you were unaware of my presence.

This evening to close your day, I sent you a beautiful sunset, after that, I winked at you a

thousand times through my stars, hoping that you would see me and wink back. You never

did.

Tonight, when you went to bed, I spilled moonlight upon your face to let you know that I was

there with you. I was hoping that you would talk to me a little while before you went to sleep.

You never said a word.

It hurt me deeply: however, I continued to watch over you all through the night thinking, that

maybe just maybe, you would say hello to me in the morning. Each and every day, I have

revealed myself to you in many strange and wonderous ways hoping that you accept me as

your Shepherd. For, I am the only one that can supply you with all your needs. My love for

you is deeper than the deepest ocean and bigger than the great blue sky. I have so very much

to give to you and also share with you. Please let me hear from you soon.

Your Loving Friend Forever

Jesus

Anyway, thanks for your patience and for not knocking me off your friend list when I never thanked you for faves or anything. I really tried as best I could to keep in touch some how.
Okay, I hope you all are doing well.
I would again like to say thanks for the views, faves, and kind comments so many of you have given me.
Happy Summer to you all.
Many s and Much from me to you all.

Many, many, Thanks to you all.
I say this hear because for the last three days I have been almost completely unable :mad: to get to many of your pages in order to send you a personal message. I don't know if its the new version of DA or has something to do with my computer, (because we have been experiencing some problems).
None the less, I just want all of you to know how very much it means to me and how very grateful I am for you support and attention.
Much and as always many, many s to each and everyone of you.

]]> ~Heidipickels http://Heidipickels.deviantart.com/journal/19496016/ http://Heidipickels.deviantart.com/journal/19496016/ Sun, 20 Jul 2008 07:53:21 PDT Many thanks to all of you who have been so kind and faithful to remember me. Thanks also for the many faves and comments.
You are all my very dear friends and I do so appreciate each and everyone of you. It seems at moments when I may be corresponding back and forth with one of you on a picture or just some silly something we can't seem to get enough of at the time that I think
"I just love _______, they're so cool" Soooo many of you have fallen into that category.
I want you all to know that you are all very special to me, I look forward to your comments and seeing your new deviations and very much having the opportunity of talking back and forth with you.
Great amounts of felt deeply in my goes out to you.
Many, many s always.
Heidi <><

Painting by Chagall
by the weepies


thunder rumbles in the distance,
a quiet intensity
I am willful
your insistance
is tugging at the best of me.
or the moon on the water
you're on mars calling out neptunes daughters.

sometimes rain thats needed falls
we float like two lovers in a painting by chagall
all around this sky and blue town
holding these flowers for a wedding gown
we live so high above the ground
satalites surround us.

i am humbled in the city
there seems to be an endless sea
people like us
grateful dreamer
I pass them on the sunlite streets
in a room filled with laughter
we make hope from every small disaster.

sometimes rain thats needed falls ummm
we float like two lovers in a painting by chagall
all around this sky and blue town
holding these flowers for a wedding gown
we live so high above the ground
satalites surround us.

and everybody says you can't, you can't, you can't,
don't try
still everybody says that if they had the chance they'd
fly Like we do.

sometimes rain thats needed falls ummm
we float like two lovers in a painting by chagall
all around this sky and blue town
holding these flowers for a wedding gown
we live so high above the ground
satalites surround us.

satalites surround us.

sometimes rain thats needed falls ummm

Happy Father's Day to all the DA Dads out there.
I hope this is your happiest and most memorable Father's Day ever.
I love you, Daddy. And I love you Mike, Father of my own little girls.

I hope you all have a wonderful week with many awesome picture taking(or painting, drawing, writing)opportunities. and s to you all.
(the very next day!!)
Okay, guess i jumped the gun. All is well. She did what the Dr. said and now everything is almost totally back to normal. I'm a total worry wart.
But thanks to those of you who responded. I'll try to wait if another situation like this presents and make sure things don't work out the very next day.

]]> ~Heidipickels http://Heidipickels.deviantart.com/journal/18692805/ http://Heidipickels.deviantart.com/journal/18692805/ Fri, 06 Jun 2008 07:33:18 PDT First of all I wanted to thank all of you who replyed to my last journal entry about my daughter leaving home. I really appreciate all the comments and words of encouragement.
I would also like to ask if any of you would mind if I posted some of your pics on another site called StumbleUpon.com. Its just a site where you can check out most anything, meet other people and show sites or pictures or anything really that you are interested in and also see what other people are interested in. (if you would like to check out my StumbleUpon page its at [link] ) If anyone out there does NOT have a problem with it just let me know. If I don't get your okay I won't put any up. It will show your DA page. Thanks
One more thing, I'd like to plug another site, especially for those of you who consider yourselves green or just greenish. There is a site called Freecycle.org. It is a site where you join a group near you where people in your community or surrounding area are giving away or requesting things the need or no longer need. Just a way of keeping the landfills from filling up so quickly. Everything is totally free, getting or giving. Just thought I'd pass this one on.
I truly hope everyone out there is well and fine. Take care and hope to hear from many of you soon. s to All.

Everybody lived in that big giant house and nobody ever left home. That would be awesome. Course I don't live in a big giant house with never ending amounts of money flowing in.
She does want to grow up and begin her grown up life and I do want her to be happy. I hope Atlanta is all she wants it to be. She is suppose to come back to our area in Aug, so I hope Atlanta doesn't offer everything. Okay now I'm going round in circles.
Bottom line is I miss her and love her and I'm sad, but also I'm excited for her.
Just thought I would share that cause I'm sure many of you out there most know how I'm feeling. For those of you who don't hug your babies tight tonight, cause it won't be long. It won't be long at all.

I've got tons of messages to reply to so please be patient with me and I promise I'll get to them asap.
Now I have to go get some groceries and let my daughter get her online fix too. ( we've been offline so long that this stupid dial-up looks like a big yummy chocolate cake - which I love.)
Anyway its totally great to be back.

Now unfortunatley neither of us have ever been. So we don't really know much about it. We have read that it is a great place to retire to though.
It is still several years off but ya know the eary bird and all.
I did a little investigating on google. I've read about many interesting place. Thing is we don't want to live in a city, but how do you find out which small villages are good or bad except for personal experience. Okay, thats where some of you might come in. If anyone out there has any info that you think might be helpful please let me know.

And please remember my girls!

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the views and fave and friend adds I've had this month. It means a great deal to me. I have four children at home and when I say at home I mean at home as we have started homeschooling over the last couple of weeks. My late evenings when I can spend some real time on DA is very important to me. Kinda like therapy if you know what I mean.

Anyway I did want to mention that I now have two daughters with DA accounts. My oldest Jessicagulley7
and the next sister down Annie who goes by lilpicchick, When you have a spare moment please give them a check.

God bless you all cause you don't know how much you have all blessed me with your kind comments.

I challange you to read it and think about what it means.
In John 20 verses 10-18 Mary Magdalene has been to the tomb and finds that Jesus is not there. She is terribly distraught and stays there alone crying. Jesus comes to her and asks her why she is crying. She is obviously so upset she doesn't even recognise his voice but thinking he is a gardner asks him where they have taken the body of Jesus so that she can go get it. At this Jesus calls her by name and she immediatley knows its him. She cries out to him in delight and goes to grab hold of him. He tells her not to hang on to him because he has yet to return to the Father. Instead she is to go tell his disiples what the Lord has said to her.
Now for many years of my life I ended the story there in my own mind, but one wonderful day as I read this scripture again something new occured to me that I'd never thought of before. Jesus, who left the glories of heaven and the comanionship of his Father and had been gone for 33+ years had done what he had come to do and was totally free to return to his Father. How much would I or any of us want to do that? Instead he waited just a little longer to bring comfort to a woman. Not to his disciples who he had spent the last three yrs of his life here on earth but instead this simple woman. I felt when I read this on that day that Jesus knew how much we as women desire and long to know that those we dearly love are ok. He appeared to a women before he even went home after such a long absense. It blessed me, as a woman, so much that day nearly 15+ years ago and does still. I hope it does for any otf you who chose to read this and I pray this will be a truly blessed Easter for you and all of yours.
