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.
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.)

Nester has written the greatest step-by-step tassel ebook that I have ever seen. I bought and downloaded it yesterday. It’s full of wonderful photos and charming instructions.
(You know that Nester has a way with words!)
Here are some of the ways you can use the tassels you make for yourself or for the perfect gift!

Do you want to have a chance to win a new pear print? Go to see Sandy at 4 Reluctant Entertainers and she will tell you how!
A few months ago got some blackberries from a local berry farm and last week I found a great deal on blueberries at the grocery. (They were cheaper than at the farm!)
What in the world could I do with all those berries? Well, we ate a bunch, but I decided to save some for the winter. I’d like to share an easy way to freeze berries, it is so simple and gives such great results.
All you have to do is wash and clean your berries (any kind) and lay them out on a wax paper lined baking sheet (or small pan, depending on the size of your freezer).
Lay the pan flat in the freezer and let the berries freeze solid. It usually takes a few hours.
After they are frozen transfer them into zip top baggies and back into the freezer they go. Since the are individually frozen, you can take out as much or as little as you want.
Now in the grey days of winter we can enjoy a taste of sunshine.
I also wanted to let you all see the new paintings I did recently. Enjoy these juicy pears! You can get your very own in my shop.
Due to production costs going up, the price of the 5×7 will be $10 and the 8×10 will be $20. (These prices will go into effect on September 1st.) So if you want to take advantage of the lower prices, now it the time to do it!
Be sure to watch for the new fall paintings…coming soon!

I’m happy to say that the new shell prints are finished!
Here they are in all their beachy loveliness…
