Blessed With Another Year!


This year has had its difficulties I have to say but
with a different approach to them.
I have had the honor of seeing God work so
many times to increase faith.
I have had the loving support of my
amazing husband who encourages me to
be all that I can.
My children are blossoming day by day with
their own personalities in tact.
They are super smart, sweet, and overall
a blessing to everyone who they happen to meet.
Our church home is such a blessing and
we have been serving with such joy.
I may have not talked about it as much as
I would have liked but I have been working
on my word for the year 2013 which is free.
This word will probably carry over into 2014.
I do feel some chains have fallen and burdens lifted.
May God see fit to continue his work in me and
through me!
Love you all and Merry Christmas!

Recent Activities


Good morning all!
It has been quite a challenge I must say getting back as
of late. We have been so busy with
fighting colds, rehersals, speeches, programs,
events, and it goes on! LOL!
It has all been wonderful, except the sick part, but
makes my poor blog suffer.
I wanted to be sure to invite everyone
to our Christmas Concert Fundraiser this year.
All the info is right here and you
can personally contact me if in need of tickets.
They are only $10 each!
It is going to such a blessed time!


My angle girl Leilani gave the announcement this past
Sunday to let everyone know about the childrens 
Christmas Program as well on the 22nd starting at 9:00 am.

Oh Holy Night was such a joy to sing for me as
well this past Sunday.
They finally got me up there!
LOL!
All for His glory!


Also here are the Voices of Praise from this weekend.
We missed our sister Debbie but was so happy to see her
back in service on Sunday.
It was SO COLD!


Well, now you know where I have been lately
along with some creating in the mist of it all.
I will be sure to share asap.
Now it is time to go and clean!
MWA!
Love you all and stay safe out there!

Fill My Cup Album


Good Morning to everyone!
I pray that your Thanksgiving was a blessed day for you.
We had an awesome time in spite of most
fighting one cold or another.
Now it is time to prepare to get back
to our normal schedule.
BOOOO! LOL!


Today I am sharing an album that I will be 
journaling in quite a bit.
I entitled it Fill My Cup which will
take a look at some of the joys and
struggles that I face with my walk with God.
My desire is to draw near and sometimes
I just need that extra outlet to sort things through.
I based this album off of the Prima Product Pick for
the month of  November.


I adore all the different elements and textures so
I wanted my album to reflect some of that.
I used various paints, sprays, stamps, and masks to
create this project which has been a long time coming.
Such beautiful and random results for each page.








Throughout the album I doodled quite
a bit and then used watercolor to slightly
paint in some of the areas.











Every bit of creating put into this project was
wonderful. I enjoyed playing around
with quite a few things I normally don't 
have the chance to use.
I will be sharing progress and some thoughts throughout
so don't be a stanger.

Be blessed and make sure to take a slight
breather from Thanksgiving hangover and
then start to decorate for Christmas. :)
See you soon!

short day week for school as well.
This week is booked partly with Parent Teacher Conferences.
The little ones have been pretty collected for
the most part which is always a good thing!

This month is flying by don't you think?!
It is almost mid November and I couldn't believe
how long I had been away from my poor blog! LOL!
Today I made it a point to drop in and share a few projects upcoming
and one that has gone live!

Here are a couple of projects to be posted soon for
Hydrangea Hippo. I really want to make sure
that I don't skip over featuring Thanksgiving themed projects.
Being grateful is where it is at for me and
I really want to give credit where credit is due.
A healthy heart is a grateful heart! :)
