Heros come in all sizes

The true test of courage is to brave the elements, to fight the odds, and to hold on no matter what. This was surely the problems that faced young Ti-Boy Cormier in that memorable day in 1807. It was a mild winter, all things considered. Yet the ponds and river had frozen over. Many villagers where Ti-Boy came from paid little attention to the early thaw or that the ice-covered rivers and ponds were probably

Not safe. When a man fell into the ice that that day ,Ti-Boy was nearby . The man’s friends did not dare to go near the hole. They knew more weight would cause a cave in. While they rushed nearby to get help, Ti-Boy inched his way being very careful towards the drowning freezing man. He grabbed the hand that clawed desperately at the thin edge around the hole, Ti-Boy with no regard for his own safety held on to the man’s hand until help arrived. For this rescue I am sure Ti-Boy would have earned a medal of bravery. What makes this story more unusual is that you see

Ti-Boy was only 6 years old.

I hope you enjoyed this little story and will return for more of my blogs. In the meantime if you have a minute why don’t you stop by my store ,see what I have added lately. I have new Christmas items, genealogy items,tee shirts, even a new calendar and much more at

What is Christmas really about?

Christmas is a major holiday celebrated all around the world. Some celebrate Christmas ,some do not.I am one of the ones who does. Christmas to me has always been special. When I was growing up, there was nothing that I enjoyed better than going to the midnight mass and seeing the beautiful service and the little manger in front of the church. To me this was beautiful, and when I got married this tradition keep going on, we would go to midnight mass, my turkey would be in the oven, and after the mass we would see our friends outside and wish one another a Merry Christmas. I always loved decorating my home, and I have a manger I set up every Christmas. I know Christmas is for family and friends, and a tree and presents, but also it is giving from the heart, many people gives something to strangers, to the needy ,to the hungry, and I am sure God is pleased with all of this. One Christmas my genealogy group and I donated some toys to two local hospitals and it did feel so good knowing that because of us some little child was happy or smiling. These photos I just posted are from my store, they can be found in my christmas folder at http://www.zazzle.com/allicor*

But getting back to my title What Christmas is all about? Well it is about remembering that Christ our Lord was born on Christmas Day. And also being with friends and family if possible.If you are away and cannot be home for Christmas, pick up the phone, or talk on the internet to family and friends.

What is Love all about?

We hear that word so very often LOVE. The dictionary defines it as "affection". We can love many things  such as foods, nature,hobbies,sports. But the ohhhhhhhh love is the love we have for one another, the love we have for our families. We need love to survive, we crave it, without love we are lonely. No matter how old we are or we get, love is very important. I should have mentioned earlier we also need the love of God to help us in our lives. We need to believe in Love. We fall in love and we get married have children and we love them with all our hearts. We love our pets, they are a part of our family. I would like share a little story about love that I read in a book. It is not a true story but interesting to read. But first of all I would like to mention about lovers planning on gettng married , before they get married there are preparations , invitations to send, and wedding to plan and then after the wedding ,thank you cards to send. I am going to add some of my product images and you can find them by going into my greeting card folder and clicking on wedding at http://www.zazzle.com/allicor* 

Now for the story: Some say the course of true love never runs smooth, (I heard that saying many times) Such was surely the case of two star crossed lovers late in the 18th century. The young lady was named Madelyn Gallant. She lived with her parents in a tiny village called Blue Cove. Those who knew her believed she was the most beautiful young lady in the entire village. She was so popular that she  was courted continuously by the young Naval Officers who were stationed nearby. yet Madelyn loved only one man. A handsome merchant named Tom Charlebois  from another village  many miles away. Mister Charlebois loved Madelyn

with an equal ardor and eventually a wedding date was set. It promised to be the most lavish event ever held in the village. Sadly a few weeks before the wedding,Madelyn contracted typhoid fever and died. This tragedy took place when her husband to be Tom was on his way to Blue Cove happy and not aware his future bride to be had died. Imagine his horror when he heard the shocking news! Wordlessly he went back home and took to his bed. There three days later he died. No cause of death was ever  found ,although many said  he died of a broken heart. I hope you enjoyed this little tale and I do hope you will go check out my gallery at the url I posted. Until next time.

So much to do and so little time in a day

Hello everyone, well it is so very true, the day should have more hours in it. grin. I have been quite busy lately ,am still packing and moving on the 15th. I am a pack rat, meaning I save everything and so this gives me much more work. I have a filing cabinet with four drawers packed full, I have two bookcases full of books, now if you have moved and packed books you know they are heavy. This time I smartened up and packed them in smaller boxes less books to a box. Right now I have a trailer the size of a horse trailer nearly full of boxes, the trailer I would say is about 3/4 full. I am finished with packing for today. Now I have been working on my gallery and we have a new product to create, "Christmas Tree Ornaments" so today is the first day to create them you can view them in my Christmas folder .Here are two  of them .

Now the ideas have to come in order to create something nice. the one with the photo you can add the photo you want and even change the words. These ornaments comes in different styles, there are heart shapes,square shape,oblong and even star shaped.I hope these will interest some fol\ks.
Next after trying my hand at the ornaments I had a nice image that I thought would be nice as a wedding invitation. Here it is/

Isn't this pretty? If you or someone you know are planning wedding, check this one out, I have a couple more images similar to the one above that I will be doing something with later. You can find all these products at http://www.zazzle.com/allicor*   Click on the greeting cards folder then wedding for this one.
And on the christmas folder for the ornaments. Speaking of Christmas I have already bought three of my products to give as gifts. And I am very satisfied with the quality of the items.If you have a paticular request to make a product for you let me know and I will do my best to help you.
As I said too bad the day isn't longer because I now have to say bye for now.
Have a great day

About Babies

Hello all my followers and newcomers. The weather is cold today it really feels like winter, with the cold will come snow. But I do hope the snow will only arrive after I move. grin. Can you imagine me carrying boxes in a blizzard? I don't think so. haha.

 

Today I would like to talk about babies. They are so very precious and special. But before baby arrives, usually someone makes a baby shower.

And there is a lot of preparations for baby showers, there are invitations to send out. You can find a lot of baby shower invitations at my store at http://www.zazzle.com/alllicor* click on the greeting cards folder.

Then you need to have a lunch and even prizes, you can find magnets,badges,keychains,stickers,at my store too. The badges are in the button folder, and the magnets and stickers and keychains are in my miscellaneous folder. Finally the shower is over, a thank you card would be nice, you can find some of these in my greeting card folder among the invitations.

Next the baby arrives, a nice card to send to let your friends know is the card with the baby's name ,date of birth and weight. That card is also in my invitation cards and if you check out my postage stamps you will find a matching one.

So now you are all set for the new baby, next comes the caring and loving it and watching it grow.

All for now gotta go pack. grin
