It was one year ago in New Bern (North Carolina) when I grabbed a scrap of newspaper and drew up a pattern for a bag while sitting at the kitchen table of my friend, LeeAnn.
I would have never imagined the journey that scrap of newspaper was about to take me on over the next year. God took what amounted to a worthless piece of trash and turned it into a treasure. That piece of trash has given me the opportunity to share my dear sister's legacy with others. As I have said before I am truly humbled every time I receive a request for a kathy's bag.
On Sept. 30th I was asked to join my sister's dearest friends at "Women Of Faith" in Milwaukee. I didn't really know these women before that weekend. First, let me say what a great bunch of ladies they are. I could not have picked a nicer bunch of ladies to spend the weekend with. I know why Kathy put them in her friends column. As the weekend unfolded we were inspired by some fabulous Christian speakers, rocked along with some incredible singers and witnessed some amazing healing by the power of God.
You know you're in Wisconsin when a cheesehead shows up!
We were able to laugh, pray and cry together. Most of all we were able to celebrate Kathy's life.
We can all say she made a positive impact on our lives. In the short time she lived on this earth she touched so many lives and we are thankful for it.
We even had a "fancy-pantsy" sink in our hotel room which made a perfect
opportunity for a kathy's bag photo op with one of the
new fall kathy's bags.
