SMITTEN

The following post is from my darling daughter on her blog "C Stands for Carrie" It's about one of our adventures when I visited her in Montana last September. If you like crafty, party things - read her blog. She's been building quite a reputation - in a good way ! The kind of reputation that makes a mother proud !!

C stands for... CARRIE: Smitten for My Mittens: "When my mom came to visit me a few weeks ago she gave me a pair of adorable mittens. She then informed me that not only did she make them, b..."

This is a huge project - your interest in St. Marys keeps me energized and I love hearing from you

The Project

I saved the church and the church saved me. This wonderful renovation project began in August '06 with an attempted act of terrorism. I was to return to So. California from Wisconsin on the day that crazed people with explosives in their shampoo bottles were busted in London and the whole world stood still. I took the option of re-booking my flight a week later and set out to find an interesting place to make my new home. I drove to the country to see a lovely Victorian farmhouse and passed an old church with a simple "For Sale" sign - and the rest is history. Actually, it wasn't all that simple. My offer was accepted in September the same week I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Everyone insisted I cancel the offer....I was too sick - there was too much to do - the job was too big - I had to stay in California - blahblahblah. I told them it would give me something else to think about - a reason to get up every morning - it would save my life.

And it did.
