Welcome to Becca's Heart for Creativity!, a personal crafting blog!
who: Hello! I'm Becca S and June is my birthday month!! I'm now finally joining my childhood classmates in Club 64!! <3 choke! gasp! I'm glad I made it to another year but mentally I only think of myself as 48-50 but my body is definitely in the 60s decade! For my mom, as the firstborn, always matched me to the time of year. My arrival came in the middle of her strawberry harvest and Vacation Bible School teaching and providing cookies and punch!! She planned ahead with cookies baked and frozen. And even the strawberries were thankfully available at most farms in the area that had strawberry patches. 4 cups of sliced strawberries with 1 cup sugar mixed and then placed into freezer storage containers. That was her formula for 1 batch. But she almost made her goal to get a year's worth for her and my dad stored in the deep freezer! My dad was busy farming, taking evening theology classes, and doing US Naval Reserve duty 1 weekend every month + 2 weeks in the summer. Meanwhile, mom was employed as an RN for a old country home converted in use for elderly nursing home. (And she got pregnant with my sister when I was only about 2 months old!!!!) Those are bits of my very early days in this world and my parents who were 25 and 23! :)

3. 'thanks so much' clear stamp = in a clear unmarked bag; however I noticed today on this stamp it has "CTMH" in very tiny print = Close To My Heart product
