I received my complimentary issue of “Somerset Holidays & Celebrations” the other day and have been drooling over all the wonderful art that is in this issue. I was thrilled to have my Patriotic boxes featured on pages 116 & 117.

I had made them to add a little “spirit” around the house. As many of you already know my son Andrew is awaiting deployment to Iraq – and the date keeps changing – nothing like sitting on pins and needles. I had hoped to see “my boy” this weekend but they will not give him leave for Labor Day – so I am praying that I can get down to Georgia to meet his platoon and hug him good-bye before he leaves. Here is to you my dear PVC Crumb…Mama loves you so very much! thank you for serving!
