Started my year off a little crafty. Came across a challenge from Viva la Verve that was a template for 4 cards. It was a whole bunch of fun. Gonna have to do more like that if I can find them.

A New Word

Ok. Here's my first non-card post.

God put in my lap an opportunity to take a "One Little Word" workshop through Ali Edwards ( http://aliedwards.com/about ). I was looking for a way to focus on what God wants to teach me this year. I've always been kind of all over the place & lacking in focus. This may be just the thing to help me Hear God's word clearly & to actually make the changes in my life as He prompts me to do.

I thought about what word I should focus on. Organization came into my mind, but that word is so stark & barren (at least in my mind it is. lol). Granted, I feel the need to become more organized, but I thought God wants more than just an organized mind, He wants something that touches my heart.

So CREATE popped into my head. This word will allow me to focus on how God created me in His image. It will also allow me to create healthy patterns in my life. AND it will give me the opportunity to get messy & make things. (Much more exciting than organize. lol)

So I'm off to create.....or to be created. We'll see what happens!

Blessings to all & may you have a creative new year!

A Star

Seems like it's been awhile since I've done any creating. My darling hubby was in the hospital & that took a little umph out of my sails. But he's home again & I'm thankful.

Been thinking about our family reunion coming up this summer, so I created this frame to hold a picture of my oldest brother, Dare. Never done a frame before. pleased with the outcome, except in the picture you can't see the yellow stars I stamped right on the frame. Like the effect of the embossed stars in the corner.

Free advertising: Got the stamp set off of Listia. Got to check it out. It's a place you can auction off your stuff & get credit to get new stuff. Really satisfies my desire to shop, but costs me nothing. Good for my budget. Doesn't help me eliminate excess because I replace my excess with other excess. LOL
