Thank You my sweet Blogging Sister! I know you are checking to see if it arrived...Well I got a package in the mail today! I always love getting those, don't you?  Inside the box marked fragile was a gift sent by my Secret Sister                           Let me tell you she knows me well. I love the red velvet bow and the simple, yet elegant way my gift was wrapped. I love brown paper packages :)  She sent me this beautiful magnet I love the Psalms, and  I love the beach;  the photo on the magnet is perfect. and wrapped in the paper was this beautiful cross box I was so touched when I saw it. I think I am going to use it as a prayer box, I am going to write prayers on slips of paper and tuck them inside, then pray over them daily. Thank You so much sweetie pie, I love my gifts and my heart is smiling. **So what do you need prayer for?** Let me know and it will go in the box! Jesus is waiting to hear from me :)

Lovely Friends

Do you like my new Blog header? I LOVE IT! It was made as a surprise for me by Jenn at Peacorn, Popnuts, Soda Gum and Chewing Water  I was overwhelmed. Dontcha just love the title of her blog :) She is a lovely woman of Faith and our friendship is growing every week. She is awesome! If memory serves we "met" thanks to Beverly's Pink Saturday. Jenn and I both start at the bottom of the page and work up to the top of all the PS participants, she views every third link, I just go with what catches my eye that day, and some days I view all of them. She also made a background for me, well she made it for herself, BUT she generously shared it with me! How lucky am I! but I can't get it to work...still working on that one! Thank You So Much Jenn, love you loads! Don't forget if you are interested, enter my giveaway for a copy of Facing The Giants, just scroll down to the Pink Saturday post and leave a comment.

Pink Saturday Giveaway

GRRRR this is the 4th time I have tried to post this! Stupid blogger! I have some Valentine pinks to share with you today. I think this is the coolest way to display a single rose. My sister had these as the centerpiece at her wedding. Love it :) Here are a few special bits I have. Lee got me these Snoopy's over several Valentine Day's. He would search high and low for just the right one. It was so sweet. I looked forward to it every year. They came on boxes of Whitman's Chocolates. He can't find them anymore. So I cherish these. Love Him. I have a special give away for you today. A copy of this wonderful movie. I KNOW you will like it. I love it :)

Courageous!

Courageous, the newest film by Sherwood Pictures is now available on DVD. Nope I am in no way being asked to write this or being compensated in any way. We have a passion for the Kendrick Brother's films and I just want you to know about them! THIS MOVE IS WONDERFUL! Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and to their children? Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous. It is funny and sad, dramatic and action packed all in one. I don't want to give too much away, but, this one like the o

January Tag

Image
Hey Y'all how are ya today? It is cold and windy here in Virginia today. I wanted to share the tag I made for Tee's Tag A Month Swap. My partner for the January swap is the lovely Elysia  in Canada. I hope she likes it. I think it is a bit too simple, but the more I fiddled with it the less I liked it, so I went clean and simple. I still don't think I am happy with it but I hope Elysia is. You can't really tell in the photo, bit I popped up the embellishments with pop dots for some dimension and of course had to glitter it up with stickles and I used my FAVORITE paper line October Afternoon  for the front and back (which I forgot to take a photo of) and all the embellishments. I can't wait for the next one! If you are interested visit The Altered Paper (just click on Tee's name above) for more info.

Lazy Day

It has been a week! I have not been feeling well over the past week so for me it has been work, bed, work, bed...poor Lee hasn't had a decent meal in 6 days! I am much better now. I feel like I have missed so much over the past week, in some ways it was good to be offline and in others it stinks, I get so much encouragement from my bloggy pals :) Yesterday we had a couch potato day, we watched 3 movies and went to bed! We finally got around to seeing the last Pirates of the Caribbean movie..eh it was ok...I think they need to just stop with those...eh Next up was Crazy, Stupid Love                                         image from google search  I laughed quite a few times, but it is not one I would watch over and over...just ok,  but oh that Ryan Gosling... (sigh) he is a looker ain't he... lmbo My mom is shaking her head right now ;) image from google search Then it was Green Lantern... image from google search we both liked it, we love superhero movies, we

1 year old!

             My Blog is 1 today! image from google search                       Thank you so much for                    sharing this year with me! 1 year ago today, I decided to take a leap of faith and start a blog. I kind of wanted to do it, if for no other reason than to participate in swaps and pink saturday, but was that enough of a reason to commit to a blog? I agonized over it for weeks, would any one read it, what on earth would I write about, what should I call it, should I have a theme etc.... Finally I just decided to do it and it didn't matter if anyone read or commented, I was doing this for me! I still feel that way a little bit, but I am so thrilled that you do read, and you do comment, and you like me ...you really like me....teehee. It has been a year full of learning, learning I am NOT a photographer so bad photos will be what is here...LOL learning it is ok that no one comments learning to not be offended at some comments that are left learning the

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! phew last week was busy, but I am a little sad to see it go. I love the Christmas season. I can't get my photos to load today so maybe later in the week I'll have a few to share. So what are your plans for 2012? Do you make resolutions? I don't. I do try to make things a little better every year. This year I want to increase my devotional and prayer time. I think when you spend quality time with God, everything else falls in place. On the creative front...  I am doing Tee's Tag of the Month for this year. I have my Blogging Sister assigned, and I am excited to have her to make a few goodies for her and pray for her this year. I have great friends with whom I will exchange letters and maybe a bit more... I hope to do some swaps and maybe a give away or 2 this year as well. So this is how my year is starting out, I hope to visit y'all often. Thanks for stopping in and have a great 2012. May God's blessings pour out over you this y
