Colleen Coble writes romantic suspense with a strong atmospheric element. A lovable animal of some kind--usually a dog--always populates her novels. She can be bribed with DeBrand mocha truffles.
Denise Hunter writes women's fiction and love stories with a strong emotional element. Her husband says he provides her with all her romantic material, but Denise insists a good imagination helps too.
Diann Hunt writes romantic comedy and humorous women's fiction. She has been happily married forever, loves her family, chocolate, her friends, chocolate, her dog, and well, chocolate.
Cheryl Hodde writes romantic medical suspense under the pen name of Hannah Alexander, using all the input she can get from her husband, Mel, for the medical expertise. For fun she hikes and reads. Out of guilt, she rescues discarded cats. She and Mel are presently taking orders from four pampered strays.

I love that thing, too! It was the most perfect gift for you right then. Cheryl is a doll!
It's a perfect idea, and Diann, you have a lot of good success stories to include.
I've already shared my friend, Marty's, idea about prayer pillows, in a past post. Two wonderful ideas that should be passed along.
Just for the record for anyone who doesn't know, I'm not the Cheryl who is the doll Colleen is talking about. LOL
LOL, Cheryl! You ARE a doll, though! :-)
Colleen was referring to my other "Cheryl" friend. Her name is Cheryl Pollock and she's been an awesome example of Jesus to me over the years. We raised our kids together for a season, then we both moved. We've recently reconnected--she lives ten minutes from the Treatment Center and comes and sits (and laughs!) with me through every chemo session! :-)
That really is a cool idea. :)
You are so fortunate to have a friend like Cheryl. Yay, God, for giving us special people in our lives!
We've done the stones of remembrance before and put them on our fireplace mantle. Now that we don't have one, I was wondering what to do with the stones. Now I know! Thanks for sharing.
That's a fabulous gift, Di! I'm going to do it too. We have a friend whose 13 yo daughter is in need of her 2nd liver transplant. This is one sick little girl, but God keeps doing miraculous things in her life. She and her mom need one. :)
Oh, my. This is a beautiful gift, and a beautiful idea for something to give oneself, too. Thanks for sharing with all of us, Diann.
This is a great idea. Robin shared this on Facebook.
What a lovely and meaningful gift! I love the idea. Question, though: what is the height and diameter of the vase? Guess who's going to be a copy-cat? :)
What an amazing gift!
Writing it into one of your books is a perfect way to share this amazing gift. I have never heard of it before but I'm going to give it a try myself.

Thanks for sharing it on Facebook, Robin!! I really think it's an awesome gift and I hope to get the word out there!
Peggy, the dimensions on the vase can be whatever you want. The bigger vases are a little nicer because they hold the bigger rocks upon which you can write more easily.
Today I'm taking one to a a young woman who is having her first baby--a girl. I got a large pink candle to put inside the holder. :-)
I am a terrible gift giver. I lament for hours over gifts and end up buying something dumb. When I can, I make food for gifts. I LOVE this idea, especially since we have river rocks all over our house that we have collected on family vacations. We have written the name of each family member on a rock and put a Bible verse reference on it, put the rocks around a candle on a glass plate. Hope you are well now.
Be blessed.
Diann,
After our cancer journey, I decided to put up a tree at Thanksgiving and attach names of people who had ministered to us to ornaments. Your name is on there, by the way!
This year, I decorated the tree more traditionally, strung all the names on a ribbon, and hung it from the top.
I am sure that creative folks could come up with a way to make that into a gift for someone...
I LOVE this idea, and I love the verse, and I love the use of rocks for all the symbolism they hold. And, it would be so much easier to change with the seasons than a Christmas Tree! Thanks for sharing!!
I love, love this. My mother has something similar a friend did for her - but this idea takes the cake.
My mind is already whirling with friends and possibilities. Thanks!
Diann,
hope ya are doing well! :)
