New Creations

Holidays are always busy and as you know, I had a hard enough getting my Christmas cards done let alone creating new things! But there was one thing I've been wanting to put together for a few months and considering the events of the last two weeks, it's greatly needed!!
It's the prayer can. It reads:
When your head starts to worry
and your mind just can't rest
Put your prayers down on paper
and watch how God CAN do the rest!

The idea is to write down the things I worry about, struggle with...all of it...write it down (date it) and put it in the can...giving it to God. And just continue to pray about the things in the can. And then every so often, open the can, take out the requests and think about what God has been doing. If God has answered that prayer, then leave that request out. What God is still working on (cause He does have His own timing...thank goodness), put back in the can and continue to allow God to do His work. I plan to keep a journal with mine so I can write things down as I take the requests out and ponder on what God has been doing. I think it's a very cool idea! Plus I think it's amazing to go back and look what God has truly done in our lives! Could definitely be a great testimony to someone as well!

And then I created this tonight. I love creating these little note card sets but I haven't really kept one for myself...one I plan to use. Until this one! I found this paper the other day at Hobby Lobby and FELL IN LOVE! (I plan to go back and buy a ton more. I've got lots of things I want to do with it! And I'm not even really a pink person!) The set includes 24 note cards that say "just be you" on the bottom right corner. There's the holder that also says "just be you" on the outside (but not in a typical way) and then 24 envelopes that match (the inside flap matches the holder). LOVE IT! When I make them for others, I usually add ribbon to the outside to hold it closed. I haven't decided if I'll do it to mine yet or not. Since it's mine, I guess it doesn't matter! :-)

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
