Hope For Haiti

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Haiti Earthquake

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.

You can help. Let’s work together and touch this nation with the love of Christ!

Easy Freeze Berries & New Pear Paintings

Friday, August 28th, 2009

1213519_blackberries

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.

blackberries.pan

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!
