Hi Everyone,
Just another quick post to tell you about the pictures I just uploaded. These are of my craft room and some of the things I have created and some are from swap I have participated in. One of my most recent creations is the collage jar for my flowers. I really enjoyed doing that jar. It was just an old jar I had and so I decided to display my flowers as I use them and replace them as I use them. For the jar I just used mod podge and fabric scraps, ribbon for the bow and an old earring with the back removed.
You will also see a mini album that I did for the very first swap I ever participated in. You will see some dress forms, mixed media canvases and some pin cushions I have created.
Well I better close for now. I hope you enjoy the pictures. I am hoping to one day (hopefully soon) do a video of my craft room. Perhaps this summer when my daughter is visiting.
Have a great Sunday.
God Bless, love and Hugs,
Janet

A Visit to Mom's
Hi Everyone,
Just thought I would check in to say Hi and to let you know that we are going to visit my Mom today. It takes about an hour or so to get there. The weather is nice, the sun is shining, so it will be a great day. We are going to take her out to eat and just spend some time with her. Brittany has never been there or seen where I come from. Hope to show her around a little. Not sure what restaurant we are going to, we will see when we get there.
Yesterday I finished my 171st flower pot pin cushion for the Ladies conference. Linda and Maryanne have some more of the pin cushions that I will pick up tomorrow after church at the meeting and I will put them together this week. We should have a little over 200.
I have some swaps lined up that I will be participating in this month and next, so I will really dig into them after next weekend. Also after next weekend I will be doing my spring cleaning, yea I know I am late getting started but I have been a little busy.
Well I better close for now. We will be leaving soon. I will try to take pictures and post some later if not tomorrow.
Hugs,
Janet

Good Morning
Hi Everyone,
Yes, I am up early today. I woke at 5:00 am and just couldn't go back to sleep. So after fighting it for 45 minutes I got, showered, made my cup of Harvest Strawberry and Passion Fruit tea, read Bible and prayed. Now here I am on the computer and writing my blog to all my blogger friends.
It is suppose to be another nice day and I am not complaining. Glad to have and Praise the Lord for it. I have to run down to Pat Catans later to get some more pots. Next Friday is the first evening of out Ladies Conference at Church. This year we are having the conference Friday evening and all day Saturday. I will need about 200 prayer favors. Almost done. Praise the Lord for two special friends, Linda and Maryann for all the help they have been making them. Our theme this year is Filled to Overflowing and we are making flower pots with pin cushions in different colors of water (blues and greens), with a flower, 2 stick pins, and a little sign that has the theme name on one side and the scripture verse on the other. I will take some pictures of them to show all of you.
I am also involved in a couple of swap over at MAS (minialbumscraps) this month. One is an altered paint brush, also shabby chic ATC chunky cards, an altered birdhouse, and fashion chunky charms. Some of them I have already sent in. Two of them I have started on yet. I am having a great time swapping over at MAS. Great bunch of ladies and gents, sharing their creativity.
Well I am going to close for now. Hope all of you have a great day.
Hugs,
Janet

Shopping
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note. I did go shopping with my husband today. We had a great time together. I did get the paint brushes I wanted. But no luck on the drawer and bin pulls. Oh well, maybe next time. I did see a door knocker and it gave me a great idea, but I want to get a used one because new ones are so expensive. I also got some flowers to use in my projects and to display in my craft room. There was this Spring sign that I got, it is displayed in my dining room, it is so cute. The mirrored dress form is adorable, I might spice it up a little with some lace and bling. I will take a pic if I do and post it. For the flowers I bought I collaged a large jar with fabric and added a ribbon, bow and earring. It looks so cute in my craft room. I plan on doing a video of it and I will post a pic of it as well.
Well I am going to run. I will be going to Pat Catans tomorrow to get more pots for the project I am working on for the Ladies Conference. Maybe I will take pics tomorrow too and share them with all of you.
Sleep well and I will be back tomorrow.
God bless and hugs,
Janet

Thursday Shopping and Then Putting Away Easter Decorations
Hi Everyone,
My husband and I are getting ready to go shopping. There are some things I need for some crafts that I am going to be working on. I am taking part in a swap over at MAS and we are going to alter paint brushes. so it is off to Big Lots for some inexpensive paint brushes. Then I want to stop at Standfords Ace Hardware for some draw pulls and bin pulls. It will all come together and I will be posting pictures. I have checked out pinterest and there are some cute ideas for altered paint brushes. Right now I am finishing up the project for our Ladies Alive Conference at church. I will also take some pics of those too.
My Easter bunny families are going to be packed away today till next year. I will also be rearranging some things in the dinning room after the bunny family's are put away.
It is suppose to be in the 50's here in Vandergrift PA today. Everyone here is really looking forward to warmer weather. soon my husband will be out in the yard and garden getting things ready for spring planting. He picked up the canopy cover yesterday so in no time the patio canopy will be up and soon we will be having our morning coffee on the patio, enjoying the birds and flowers and garden growing.
Well I better run. Look for pictures, I will be posting them later today.
Hugs,
Janet

Happy Wednesday
Hi Everyone,
Today is Wednesday and tonight is church. We look forward to going to church. Tonight I will be in the nursery with the toddlers. They are so sweet. I love to watch them play and have a good time. About 2 1/2 years ago I started to work in our church nursery on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday's and I have seen a lot of the kids grew and leave to go to other classes, but we have more babies being born. On the Wednesdays that I am not in the nursery I am in class with my husband. This term we are attending Pastor Skelly's class. He is teaching the book of James. It is so good. I have learned so much more about this great book of the Bible. Last week we went over the first part of chapter three that talks about the tongue. WOW!! It was so good and it taught me a lot about myself.
Well I am going to close. Have a super great Wednesday. I will post some picks of some birdhouses that I have altered for a swap on MAS and one as a gift.
Love and Hugs,
Janet

A Blessed Easter Day
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick note to tell you that I have had a blessed Easter (Resurrection Sunday) day. It started off with church this morning. What a great message Pastor Skelly had, very uplifting and inspiring. The afternoon was spent with our son Jimmy and his wife Brittany. For dinner we had ham, potato salad, pickled beets and eggs, baked beans and colored deviled eggs. After we share this meal together we watched The Robe. Such a good movie. Then this evening it was off to church for the evening service where Pastor Bergman, a missionary in Cleveland to the Jewish people demonstrated the Seder meal. How inspiring it was as he showed how it reflected our Savior Jesus Christ.
I hope all of you had a blessed day today. I look forward to what all of you will post this week.
Hugs,
Janet
