OK, my sweet wife is busy at a previous commitment tonight, so I'm literally sneaking onto her blog without her knowledge. (SHHHHHH!!) Anyway, she told me what an outpouring of support there was for us today related to my surgery (though I REALLY know she bribed your comments with that nifty giveaway today.... ; ) I just wanted to express my sincere thanks for your kind wishes & prayerful thoughts. Everything went as well as it could have today (except for Dawn having to be anxious about the situation). It is so gratifying to know that Dawn has such a wonderful group of blogreaders & Google-followers who are so supportive & would take the time to express themselves as you all have. I'm overwhelmed myself & my dear wife is so blessed to be in relationship with you through this wonderful communication tool. Our prayers are with you & that God will meet you at your point of need in His perfect timing, as He has for us. Have a great weekend---we are due 1-2 inches of surprise snow on Saturday, so it couldn't be a better time to rest & recuperate. (BTW,for those of you who may be concerned about it, I should be well enough & soon enough that Dawn will NOT have to mow anytime soon!!!)............Bart

Hi there! I'm Dawn McVey and I'd like to welcome you to my little corner of the internet. My hope is that you'll find this place warm and welcoming! I'm an artist with a heart for God. I worked as a graphic designer for ten years, before starting my own art business. I love color and all things vintage! My handsome husband, Bart, is also my best friend.
I was extremely sick for more than 8 years and eventually had a rare small intestine transplant on October 28, 2017! During those years of being so sick, I got lots of practice learning how to choose joy in the midst of extreme suffering! ;) I'm so, so grateful for all that the Lord has done in our lives to bless us and to bring me to a place of health! He used that long season of illness to draw us closer to Him and we've also seen Him use our transplant story in amazing ways, to pour faith, hope and joy into the lives of others. Those years of struggle were so hard, but I wouldn't trade them because I can see how He was with us every step of the way and how He was using every bit of it for our good and His glory. My hope now, is that I can encourage you to choose joy in the midst of your own struggles. While you're here, I hope you laugh or smile or find some inspiration and encouragement. I hope you enjoy your time with me and ultimately, I hope you see some of HIM while you're here. He is everything. Much love, friends…
