October to GO TIME!!!

Can you believe October is almost over?!  And you know what that means..... Time to start thinking of the Thanksgiving plans - where to go, what to cook, and Christmas is next - make my gift lists, get busy with the planning of church, family, and friends gatherings.  I love it all!  I love celebrating Christ with my family and friends.  I love how we have so many opportunities to share the love and grace of Jesus.  So, as I begin to look at all these things I know I want to be purposeful in this special season.  I wish to have time with my kids and grands, to enjoy the laughter and joy.  I want to be with the familiarity, the comfort I find in being with my parents and sister and brothers - a reminder of my foundation of Christ in my life.  AND I want to be the heart of Jesus to my community, my church, my family.  So I am asking God to show me what He would have me to do in the upcoming holiday season.  He has blessed me beyond what I ever imagined.  I want to glorify Him in all that I do.  #Jesus  #holidays  #family

Sister's Birthday Gift

I just had to do Mark's idea - and he helped me - to make a gift for Nancy for her birthday.  I had seen this little poem about growing up with a sister and thought it was perfect.  So we went to several thrift stores looking for the perfect sized canvas picture and after only two stops - found it! This is the canvas with the letters I stuck on it and I began there in the bottom corner to paint it a dark brown.  The canvas is a golden with thin trees and some words in cursive in a light brown.   As you see, I was using a paint brush, but I changed to a small roller.  It worked much much better. Completely painted the top and the sides of the canvas a brown color.  Then I let it dry - probably about 30 minutes.  Then pealed off the letters! Here is the finished product: And it's true.  I did tell on her - it was for her own good. :)
