ALL ABOUT JOYCE

I set up this Blog to share the experience of designing a tree for Festival of Trees and also to have the family be a part of the tree by helping donate. Any little bit helps. All donations will go straight to decorating the tree, any left over will be donated to Primary Children's Hospital. The main Donor to our tree will be listed as "The Dibble Family" along with "Friends of Festival". I have helped set up and design two previous trees for the Festival of Trees in past years. We are thrilled to do it again, especially knowing that the tree will be dedicated to our sweet JOYCE. The group I am designing with includes my best friend Mandi Arrington, her sister and also my friend Jenilyn Drummond and Jody Nice who is Mandi's sister inlaw. This will be their fourth year. I am thrilled to be a part.

We've got the SPOT!


We are officially registered and have been assigned "Our SPOT" in the Festival of Trees. Drum roll please........................................... M21!!! We are pleased with our spot. It is closer to the main South Stage, which is nice. Close to the back near the playhouse plaza. Not too close to the middle. I mean really, there are how many spots? 328 spots total. I think we'll move in nicely. Cozy up to whoever ends up next to us. Let's just hope we don't end up next to something super showy like the "Upside Down Tree" or the "Star Wars Tree". You just never know :)

More beautiful Pictures.



Thank you Kathy for sending me these wonderful pictures. They are just beautiful.

This picture was drawn by a local Artist, Jan Keaton I believe. A friend of the family. It has meant a lot to our family, and has sparked up conversation outside of the family. We treasure this piece of art. Truly inspired.




Below is picture of Grandma and Grandpa Dibble. With baby Joyce in Grandpa's arms.

THANK YOU!

You are all making this happen. Thank you so much for the donations. You will never know how much it means to me. I wish I could express how much I love this family. I miss the good ol times but I love how we still all have that special connection and we always will. I love keeping in touch through facebook, and blogging, even email. Our prayers as a family have worked miracles as Gary said the other night. It is an amazing thing. Love you all,

~Karlie~
