What a great way to reward your friends Laura. I wish your wishes will come true. Our Lord Jesus has blessed me abundantly already. It's time to give it back. #10138131Laura E. Swan May 15, 2012
Hi Steve, Neal, John, Wm, Terry, Julianne, Mare, Emile, Jo Ann and Rey! :)Thank you for coming to my "Make a Wish Little One" image. :)))
Well, my wish is that you will get your wishes! So whatever they are, I hope they come true for each person here.
They say that dreams are just plans in the making and we can't have anything happen if we don't dream and wish and plan and ask (pray!) and then do...so, there you have it!
Actually I did have a little wish and it came true so I will tell you. I wished that I could have this image blown up and put on Canvas for my home. It will arrive by Friday. Right to my door! HA! 20x30! YES! (I got it on sale and can't be more tickled about it!)
Have wonderful days you guys!
Love to all!
