Hope

Hope! That is my theme today. I think I just might hang one of these in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and my work station to remind me to hope.

I have been working like crazy trying to open my on-line shop. The other day I came up with a new idea. Cocktail Napkins with chain and charm. The chain-charms can be used as wine charms or hung from a purse or what ever other creative idea comes to mind. Check them out on my on-line shop. These make a great hostess gift or just a little small something to let that person know you love them,

The Fire

Austin's team "The Fire" takes State in Soccer. Austin started playing with the Fire when he was 9 years old. At that time they weren't quite the Fire yet because they were in a development program. It has been a true blessing to watch these boys go from little boys to young men. They are all fine boys too. Polite and respectful. We have been blessed by having Austin on this team.

My Online Shop!

Hello Everyone! I started my own on line shop. After years of collecting sterling silver and restoring, collecting beads, beads and more beads, I am plum full of to much stuff. In order to support my hobby/habit I have decided to start selling. In my shop you will see a variety of items. I love all things pretty, fun and spiritual. I love charms, swarovski crystals and real gem stones. I have lots of everything. I love to make things for people that I know. It really helps me make a connection to others.

For those of you that I see there will not be a charge for the shipping. I will add a small handling charge of 20 cents and 3.5% of the item. These are my charges from Etsy. Etsy is a fun place to look around, it is where artists sell. Have fun in it. My friend's store is tracylovespink.etsy.com. Tracy has been my inspiration in helping me find my creative brain and I am very grateful for her presence in my life. Enjoy and let me know what you think.

Just one more thing, if you see something and want a custom made piece, please let me know.

Hey Rachel, get that camera down here so I can take a sniff!

Nap time begins! What a life :0)

Rachel's 1st Communion

She did it, worked hard and now she has received the body and blood of Christ. I am so proud of her.

Arise and Shine

Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine; for your light has come! and the glory of the Lord is Risen upon you.

This is a picture one of my friends took one morning, about a week ago. She had a few kids in her car anticipating the day ahead. Suddenly a bright light from her review mirror caught her attention. She looked and was amazed at how spiritual she felt about what she saw. She stopped the car and pulled out her camera from her purse. With a click, this is what she saw.

On Sunday nights a few of us, middle school moms, get together and pray for the young people that are attending youth group from our church. While reading a few passages from the Bible she heard one and said that is what I need to put with my picture.

It is very difficult to slow down and hear God sometimes. I am grateful for my friend that she did and has shared her experience with us!
