Here are the new cupcake paintings I just finished yesterday!
It can be used on any print in the store!
The code is: TRUE LOVE (hurry because it won’t last long).
What if this were your child…your husband?
When you see news this devastating do you feel like you can’t do anything to help…do anything to make a difference?
Yes we can pray, thank God, but like it says in James 2:17 we need to add some action to our prayers.
“So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” (NLT)
Jenny at Simply Delightful Designs has made a easy way for all of us to add actions to our faith.
She has started a blog where you can buy raffle tickets to try to win wonderful donated prizes. (Or if you have a business you can donate products.) All of the proceeds will be given to Compassion International and The Red Cross.
I have donated $40 worth of prints and have bought a few tickets as well.
I’m joining in with the pillow party going on at Rose Colored Glasses!
I’d like to introduce you to my new favorite pillow and her creator…
Rose Red the pillow and Hannah
Hannah and her friend Deb (Deb is the co-owner) make one-of-a-kind pillows and scarfs from reclaimed wool. Beautiful and eco-friendly, a win-win. (See her shop here.)
Take a look at one of her beautiful scarves…
Handmade and only $25!
I have been trying to compile a list of what foods are in season each month. Not only will the food taste better, but it will be a lot less expensive! I was giddy when this little gem showed up in my Google reader…
Chart by Leon
(The chart was made by the Leon restaurant chain in London, but since British weather is very similar to the climate of most of North America, it works well for most of us.)
Have you ever bought something and then seen the same thing a week later….on sale? I have and it’s really frustrating, especially for big ticket items!
I just ran across a great post that shows what months that certain groups of items are on sale. You can check it out here at Life Hacker. You can thank me later. {wink}
Now, dear reader, how do you find good sales? I can use all the help I can get!
For more Q & A head over to Works For Me Wednesday at We Are THAT Family.
Are you going? If so, I’d really like to meet you there!
I was looking back on my goals for 2009 and this scripture came to mind…
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23
Looking forward to a fresh start and a new year shared with you all!
Welcome! Enjoy a peek at what the Herbert home looks like for Christmas…
One of the things I did differently that last year was to add red twigs to my mantel and to the Christmas tree. They were really easy and you could do them in any color that you needed. Just grab your branch clippers and some spray paint. Paint one side, turn them over and you’re done! Easy and very budget friendly.
An easy way to change your decor to Christmas is to just add a ribbon and an ornament.
Or gather up all the red things you have around the house. A little ribbon and a few berries and you’re done!
Remember my yule log from last year? This is my Grandmother’s.
It has over 60 years of Christmas candles on it. Happy memories indeed!
I’ve saved the best for last…
I’ve been wanting a Willow Tree nativity set for a long time. My husband’s mother gave me one for Christmas this year!!
This table is in our entry. I wanted the first thing that people see to be the One who is first place in my life. Without Him life would be just existence.
P.S. If you are needing some good Christmas gifts I’ve just added some new paintings to my shop. They make great gifts for: a house warming, teachers, friends and they also are a wonderful hostess gift!
Here’s a small preview…
This can be customized with any names you choose or can be left plain. (This is for my sister and her husband.)
(Don’t wait, because the coupon code will expire on December 21st.)
