Day of Creating

Today I spent most of my time in my craft room.  I did manage to get a video up on line.  I am going to try and do another one for tomorrow also and shopping.  I am still working on the 90th Birthday album.  It is coming along quite nice.  There are alot of pictures for it, whether I get them all in it is another thing.  I will be putting up some more of the photos of the layout in another day or so.My son is going to upload some of the photos for me so that I can reduce their size for some of the pages.  He is a big help to me with the photos and videos that I do. 

A Day of Memories

Hi Everyone,  This has been a wonderful day.  My son took me to visit with some friends and family.  I am doing a scrapbook of a family friend who is turning 90 years old.  Her daughters are planning a surprise birthday party and they want me to do a scrapbook of her life.  What a big challenge!  We got together today and looked through some old pictures and many of the memories I remember.  There was lots of laughs and a few tears.  I look forward to the party.  The girls are planning a wonderful party.  Since this young lady will be 90 many family and friends have already gone, but they will not be forgotten a this time.  Each table at the party will have a photo of someone who has gone.  My Dad will be one of them.  How I miss my Dad he was a great guy and he truly loved his Lord and Savior Jesus. 

Great Time at Ladies Bible Study

Hi EVeryone,  What a great time at ladies Bible study today.  I am learning alot from not only the book of Proverbs but from other selections in scripture.  Everyone is so sweet and we all enjoy sharing God's Word with each other.  Today's lesson was abut honesty and integrity.  It has made me sit back and think about my life and if I am honest and show the integrity that God would have me do.  We have to remember others are looking at us.  I have to ask myself do they see a person that is honest and shows integrity. 

I would like to share a poem that was in our lesson book for today:

I want a principle within Of watchful, godly fear,
A sensibility of sin, a pain to feel it near.
Help me the first approach to feel Of pride or wrong desire,
To catch the wandring of my will And quench the kindling fire.
Almighty God of truth and love, To me Thy pow'r impart;
The burden from my sould remove, The hardness from my heart.
O may the least omission pain My reawakened sould,
And drive me to that grace again Which makes the
wounded whole.

This was written by Charles Wesley.

Boy does that hit home, PRAISE THE LORD.

This is an excellence study.  If you are interested in doing this study the book is called "Pearls from Proverbs" by Valerie Wilson.  It is published by RBP (Regular Baptist Press)

Got to run.  Have a great weekend.

Rainy Day

Hi Everyone,  According to the weather man it is to rain most of the day.  So I will just stay in, do my chores and then create in my craft room.  Here is an encouraging word, especially for this rainy day:  Philippians 4:4
"Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say rejoice."  No matter what the weather is we can rejoice because the Lord is in control (Praise the Lord).

Yesterday I was working on my next altered canvas and I came to a block.  So I have taken a few days off from that project and I have others that I will be working on.  One is a pearl shape album that will highlight scriptures from the Pearls from Proverbs Bible study I am attending on Fridays.  I am also thinking of doing another large tag that will be called Friendship. I have been looking up poems on friendhsip as well as some scriptures.   I am still working on the 90th Birthday album.  It must be complete by March 12th (that is the big day).  So I have alot in my craft room to keep me busy.  What are you working on today?

An Inspiring Word Tag

Here is a video of a tag I did.  I was inspired to do this tag from a saying that I read in one of my scrapbooking magazines. The Link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_FaES9XhxE

Sunshine on the snow!

Today I woke up to the sun shining brightly on the snow that had fallen yesterday and last night.  Yes, we sometimes get tired of the snow but remember that it is only the prelude to spring.  Without the life giving water that the earth receives from the winter snow the plants would struggle for lack of sufficient water needed for them to grow.  In just a few short weeks the Lord will be awaking the earth from its long winters sleep, and the earth by the providence of God will bring forth and bud once again.  We must keep in mind that the Lord is the one in charge and he keeps his word.  Below is a protion of scripture that reminds me of who is in charge, the Lord Jesus Christ.

 Isaiah 55:8-11
"For my thought are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways saith the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.  For as the rain cometh down, and the SNOW from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater.  so shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

I have some chores I want to do around the house and then it is off to my crafting room for some relaxing fun creating.  I am almost done with my summer flower album.  It is called "Beautiful Sunshine Day."   Most of the album is done with a kit I got from Paperworks with some others embellishments added my stock.  The color scheme is mosting yellows, greens and blues, with a hint of orange.  But I thought I would add some other colors when I attach the ribbons on the binding rings.  I am hoping to do a video sometime this week.

Another project that I will be starting soon is another altered canvas.  It will be more vintage.  When I am done with it I will also do a video about it as well.

Snow, snow and more snow!

That is right it is snowing again.  We have probably 2 inches right now and we are to get 4 - 8 inches when it is all said and done.  I got alot of housework done today.  This afternoon I have been working on a mini cardstock album.  When I am done I will put it up on YouTube.  It is a summer album that I am going to use for the pictures I will take of my flowers this summer.  The Lord is so good, he really makes the garden flourish.  I give him all the glory, he is the one that makes it grow.

Check out the pictures I just posted on my blog.  The are of the Altered Wedding Canvases that I did and the two mini Toilet Tissue Albums I did.  I am so thankful that the Lord allows me to create works of art.  i couldn't do it without him.  Thank You Jesus!
