Fire

December 30th, 2009 by Bev

Sorry I have not been stamping because 2 days before Christmas my sister and my nephews homes were both burnt in our Bushfires.  They have not managed to save anything….all their sheds are gone as well.  My sister and niece are both scrapbookers and my sister also a stamper…..nothing left.  My sister also had a huge porcelain doll collection, she had made and dressed all the dolls, had her masters and doctrine in doll making……it is all gone…..very very sad but they are all okay so we are thankful for that.

    oh, Bev that is so very sad. Words will not replace all the memories and treasured items that they have lost, but they have there lives and there health and great family for support at this very challenging time.
    God bless you all.

    Bev, how devastating for your family. You hear of things like this happening but don’t really think you understand the devastation until it hits some one that you know.How sad to loose all those wonderful memories. There have been fires over here too only 60kms away and there were 37 houses lost. Very sad.

    Oh Bev how terrible! I hope they are finding some normalcy and healing now. Glad they were unharmed but how heartbreaking to lose all those treasures.
