Lighting a candle with love
I have decided to post tonight although my heart and mind have been wrapped around the families and children in Connecticut. It's hard to pretend things are normal when they are not normal at all. I just put my Christmas decorations up yesterday. I almost didn't. But because I use a lot of soft lights inside our living room, I decided to put the decorations up and have the lights be symbols of love and hope for the children who are no longer with us, the children who have suffered so much trauma, the adults who left loving families and children behind and the grieving hearts of so many especially the parents. My heart weeps.
I dedicate my Christmas blog to the Light of the World in whom we put so much trust - may our prayers be heard and solace be given to those who are in pain. Peace and Grace my friends.

My dearest friend, your words are amazing to me! Your heart is just full of love! This is the most beautiful post I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing your feelings with us all. May we all hold our loved ones close in our hearts and be as generous as you to people we have never met!
Love You!

So about those tags! I love the first one as it reminds me of a candle for everyone you mention. Also because the poinsettia is sparkly and the center is gorgeous like the snowflakes on the tag so I need to Pin this one!
The other two are just as gorgeous and festive for Christmas. I love the style with the snowflakes in the background and the rich poinsettia with beautiful centers. These are perfect.
Big Hugs and Love,
Kelly
Yes it made me feel more love an appreciation for my own family, to to hold them closer then ever.
And I lit candles for the lost souls... my hert weeps for their parents-I know how it is to loose a loved one. I pray for strenght and for peace for each and everyone who's life has been shattered by these events. Honestly, I do not feel like celebtating, but, I have to pull myself together for my own kids-they do not know about this.
And Sandy, I love all of your tags-they are beautiful!
Beautifully and eloquently said Sandy. This is such a terrible and tragic event that it is difficult to put into words and I thank you for saying what I mean.
These tags are beautiful! Love the liquid pearls... perfect for the Christmas and snowflake theme.
Sandy this is a Beautiful post, It is heartbreaking the loss of such innocence and the teachers on that tragic day! The whole world is feeling America's pain!! May god bless the families & ease their suffering.. It is so hard to put into words just how heavy my heart feels, Thank you Sandy for your heartfelt post!! Hugs May x x x
Such a beautiful post Sandy. I agree, let the lights shine in remembrance. Thanks for such a beautifully heartfelt post.
Your tags are so pretty, too. Love the white poinsettias.
Very beautifully said Sandy. I don't think there is anyone across the globe who has not been deeply touched by the horrific happenings in Connecticut last week. Our hearts go out to the families that have suffered such devastating loss.
Your tags are just stunning Sandy, the poinsettias are so striking! Hugs Susan x

Gorgeous tags Sandy! love poinsettias and red! and your pretty embellishing! God bless you and yours this Christmas time and I'm praying with you, God comfort these families because I'm sure they are heartbroken and don't know how to carry on.

My heart also goes out to all of the families of the 26! I've prayed my heart out and feel that is all I can do and I have shed lots of tears. Today I got word from a dear friend Lena that her 23 yr. old grandson was killed while walking down a dark road. She is on her way to MN from Texas. My heart is breaking for her to. Such a sad Christmas for the CT families and Lena. She was in our image swap group Sandy. I did as you ask and didn't send a card so wishing you and Art a very wonderful and Merry Christmas with your families. I love your tags, so beautiful.
What a heartfelt post Sandy... Even we here in Europe all feel the pain and devastation of the parents and relatives of those innocent victims... We should keep the lights in our hearts alive for them and for those who have gone before them. Blessings to them all...
Your tags are all so beautiful, really love that gorgeous poinsettia! Thanks for your sweet comment on my blog, take care, Ira x

Sandy, your thoughts and blessings are beautiful. Tragedies leave us feeling so helpless and vulnerable - making us hold our loved ones closer. My heart is heavy for the losses, but also for all the others who have been touched by this senseless tragedy that will have devastating trauma for a long time to come, especially those dear little children in the school.
On a happier note. Your tags are gorgeous, my dear! Have a blessed Christmas. Am sending many hugs across the miles.
Hello Sandy, these tags are sooooo beautiful !!! (^o^)/"""
Each beautiful poinsettia looks smile and heals for the people who got hurt from sad news in Connecticut.
Flowers and ribbons are sooooo beautiful, very nice texture and details...
I love them all...(^.^)/"""
These are so lovely, Sandy. Keeping all those in CT in my heart. No words are accurate, or enough.
Hi Sandy, just catching up now. Your post is beautiful and so tenderly worded. Your tags are beautiful too. I wish you and yours a wonderful Christmas and all that your heart wishes in the year ahead. Blessings, Nicola x
Dear Sandy, I just popped in to say I hope you & your lovely Family have a Wonderful Christmas... & A Happy New Year.... Thank you for all your lovely comments.. Hugs May x x x
What precious thoughts and prayers for those in Newtown, Conn., Sandy. It's such a sad thing that happened. My heart and prayers go out to them. You made some very pretty and elegant tags...so so pretty! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wishing for you and family a joyous New Year, hugs!!!
You expressed my thoughts so eloquently here...I would never have found the words. So thank you for this post. No words can comfort these parents & siblings, only our Precious Lord can grant them ease, and I pray He will Hold them all close,until healing begins. Thank you for sharing your thoughts along with these lovely tags. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I think this tragedy made all of us feel so much closer & more appreciative of those we hold dear. I know it did in OUR family. Looking forward to seeing all your lovely creations in 2013. Hugs.
Beautiful tags, beautiful thoughts and a beautiful message ... may every day of the new year bring you the same comfort that you give to others.
Sandy, It is so hard to go on with our daily lives as if nothing has happened when we know their are people out their hurting so hard and their broken hearts, we can offer prayers and try to be their when they need someone but we also need to go on so that they can go on as well, back to some kind of normal life as it will be a long time for them. So by our prayers and kindness they will know we will always be their for them, as life goes on. It is hard to see.
Sandy, Wonderful tag. Hey girlfriend this has been an awesome year and I have enjoyed your wonderful creations and I'm looking forward to many more years of great inspiration and sharing our knowledge and learning from each other, so hears to many more years of friendship.
Hugs, Patricia

Hi Sandy I have just read your lovely comment on my blog and I burst out laughing, lol, 'gobsmacked' is a sort of slang expression for shocked or amazed, lol. I want to wish you a Happy New Year and to tell you how beautiful these tags are, I know I missed many awesome creations before Christmas as I was very depressed but I am feeling more like my old self again. Thank you for visiting me Sandy.
