I've talked so much about having a garage sale, my family doesn't even listen to me anymore...lol..lol When I talk about wanting to go travel with the "American Pickers" show, my family laughs and tell me I can start in our garage.

Happy Thanksgiving Friends

2010-11-26T09:50:00.000-08:00

Hello Stampin' UP! Friends,

Hope your Thanksgiving was, well, Thankful. I happened to see a bit of a Rachael Ray special on TV the other day. I cried. Her show, Snapfish, and others, gave a town a Thanksgiving feast. They took a warehouse and turned the inside to a wonderful Fall Harvest, including beautiful tables, fall trees, etc. It was breathtaking. Everyone in town came.... you could see the gratitude on their faces and in their tears. I'm not sure how they picked the town... but it meant alot to these people. There were Entertainers, photo albums, gifts, etc... Truly the best special I've seen in a long time... you knew it was from the heart.

As our hearts continue with Thanksgiving onto Christmas... yes, there's lots to do, I hope you all have a little quiet time to enjoy also.

Tags, boxes, bags and wrap... Yes, those are a few of my favorite things... punches, stamps, pens and ink.... ribbon, cardstock, fabric... those things can't be beat!!!! A little bit here, a little bit there, you'll have lots of time to spare.... (I can't believe I come up with this stuff...lol) There is an Online Shopping spree going on at Stampin' UP! Some products even 50% off... Special Bundles offers, etc.... Check it out by clicking on my Shop Now button... You don't want to miss this. Ends November 30th.... HAVE FUN!!

See You all soon,

Housework maybe... Crafting Always....

Has it been THAT Long . . .

2010-02-17T23:31:00.000-08:00

Goodness . . . It's been since December since I posted. It's all about Life...lol..lol

Well, First, I haven't cleaned up my Craft Room yet, so I can barely get in the door. Our son Steven, was getting ready for his "Semester at Sea". He boarded the Ship in Mexico and has traveled to Hawaii, Japan and now is traveling in China. To say the least, he is enjoying "school" this semester!!!

Our daughter Sarah, is graduating from college this May, so party time is coming her way. Yes, her mama and papa are very proud of her.

OK, so I'm off to do a little cleaning so I can find my desk and maybe an ink pad in my room.

Share a smile with someone, you just might make their day.

Faith

2009-12-21T09:26:00.000-08:00

and Heaven and Nature Sing...

Make it a

Blessed Christmas

Choose Joy!! No matter what our individual situations are... we can always make the decision to choose Joy. To reach out to someone with a smile, hug, a caring touch of a hand. Choose Joy. Bless someone's day...

My Heartfelt Love,

Faith

Thanksgiving

2009-11-25T08:34:00.000-08:00

http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/

Thanksgiving... This starts the season of Thanksgiving and Holiday times for my family, which continues to November Thanksgiving next year... and starts all over again.... I try to hold Thanksgiving and Christmas in my heart all year... I don't care what the stores have on display, I know what is in my heart. I have so much to be thankful for. My blessings, the Bible tells us to count them one by one... oh, I am so blessed... all I need is my family, whether they are near or far... this year, we'll be together, my daughter, son and my Hubby. I loved them so much. My brother will be far away, but always near in my heart.

November 29th starts the advent season of remembering Gods promises to bring us a Savior... and that he indeed came... remembering... being thankful... to ponder in our hearts... blessings, Thanksgiving.

Please take some time in the coming days to remember how much each of us is loved by God. Not by what the world says, but by what God says. Thanksgiving... may it touch all of your hearts.

from my heart to yours,

Faith

Creativity

2009-11-15T10:20:00.000-08:00

http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/

Over at Karla's Korner, Karla is talking about Creativity. I LOVE Karla's artwork, I LOVE her encouragement, prayers, insight. I am so blessed God uses her Creativity to reach out to all of us. What JOY that is.

I enjoy being able to do a few crafty things that I can warm up my home with. I enjoy having friends over and everyone being able to feel comfortable doing so, whether it be just making a few cards or just for a hug and a smile. I hope to honor God with my Creativity, whatever it may be, to be a blessing to others.

How about you? Hop on over to http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/ and be blessed.

What a Mighty God we Serve...

2009-11-10T08:08:00.000-08:00

http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/

Yes, "What a Mighty God we Serve"... Yep, another song popped into my heart when I was over at Karla's Korner blog. She was talking about an art class she was taking and the instructor asked them to look up in the sky and describe what they saw. Was it just the dark clouds, the gray skies, the impending rain on it's way?? There among the storm clouds, there was a rainbow coming out of the clouds.... How awesome it that!!! I'm so thankful God is always there amidst any storm that might come our way!!! Head on over to Karla's Blog to see the beautiful picture she posted. Yes, it's another Thankful Day.. Have a Great One!!!

In my heart,

Faith

What a Friend we have in Jesus...

2009-11-08T03:02:00.001-08:00

http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/

Yes, What a Friend we have in Jesus... I LOVE that song!!! My kids always laugh at me when I say that... "Mom, you LOVE all the songs"... Yes, I guess that's true. There is nothing better to lift your spirits, make the blues go away, take your mind off ourselves, than to praise God. Since I can't sing on "any" key, (just ask my kids) I'm always making a joyful noise. He gives us so many reasons to praise him. Just driving by some sheep in a pasture causes me to sing. I am so thankful for the many song writers that wrote hymns and spiritual songs, many of them, through their pain and suffering, so I could have a song in my heart to sing. Sing along with me, together, we can make a joyful noise unto the Lord....

Lovin' you all,

Faith

Are you Warm tonight??

2009-11-04T07:18:00.000-08:00

http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/2009/11/thanksgiving-giving-back.html

Over at Karla's Korner, "30 days of Thanksgiving" is inspiring us all to remember the many "Thankfulness" we each have in our daily lives. What are you Thankful for? Last night as I was walking the "Girls" (my two little dachshunds), I was looking up at the stars, thinking how beautiful they were and I remembered that "God has named them one by one." I thought, WOW! He knows them one by one as He knows each of us... Thanks God, that you know what needs each of us has... may we all reach out with a smile, a hug, a simple note to someone that might need to know we're thinking of them, just like God is thinking of us...

with Love,

Faith

A Thankful Heart

2009-11-02T21:19:00.000-08:00

http://karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/

Hello Everyone!! Please stop by Karla's Blog to share in 30 days of Thanksgiving.... There is so much to be thankful for. My Blessings of my family. Friends that I know that are praying for us without us even asking. Our health, jobs, home, our church family, wonderful friends, the list goes on and on. I'm thankful for the Internet and all the social media that abounds now...lol..lol I've love being able to reconnect with friends from years gone by and to meet and chat with people from across the states and even other countries... it has made the world a much more smaller place. Thank You God for all the wonderful friends I have met this way.

With Thanksgiving on it's way and Christmas just around the corner, be sure to plan out what crafts you'll be working on, get instructions you'll need, supplies ordered and work on them a little each day. It won't be so overwhelming and you will have more time to relax and enjoy the holidays. The weather was so nice today and I was outside walking around the yard with the "girls", my little dachshunds, praising God for the beautiful day, doing a little weeding, thinking about what I want to plant, move or change this coming spring... it just was wonderful to enjoy the day... so go and be creative, enjoy, enjoy and give thanks....

warmly,

Faith

Hello Everyone!!! http://http//karladornacher.typepad.com/karlas_korner/2009/10/30-days-of-thanksgiving-challenge.html Over at Karla Dornacher's page, (she's one of my favorite authors and artists) she has challenged us to 30 days of Thanksgiving... check out her blog with the link above.

I know I have soooo much to be thankful for. My Children are my Blessings. I Love them from my very heart and soul. I'm so blessed to have them in my life. Raising them and having them in my life, has helped me grow into a better person. They are such individuals with their own strenghts, interests, and expressions, which God uses everyday, to show me how precious they are to Him. They are not only my blessings, but blessings to God. I'm so thankful I can be their mama.

So, what are you thankful for?? Please join me in this Challenge and we'll travel the road together....

The Catty is LIVE!! The first order has gone in... Be sure to click on the link in the left column to download the supply list. These are the "recipes" for the projects you see in the catty. They are by page numbers and tell you what cardstock, punches, ink, stamp set, etc. is used to make each of the projects.

Well, I'm a tired little cookie tonight, so it's Good Night for me. Enjoy looking over your catalogs and think of some projects you might want to work on. Let me know and we'll do it. I know Robin has been wanting to do the Stamped Tiles for quite some time now and I have some cards I know you'll want to make...

It's been a Stampin' UP! day for me with the change over to the new catty.... but I did get outside to enjoy our weather....

Make it a Creative Day!!

Always,
Faith

Good Evening Friends,

I'm still trying to get this blog up and running correctly, so bear with me...lol...lol

The new 2009-2010 Stampin' UP! Catalog is here. You can start to place orders with me on July 1st... This new Stampin' UP! year is going to prove to be very exciting!!! Not only are there NEW Stamp Sets, NEW In-Colors, (and I might add, that this year there are MARKERS to match the In-Colors), New Designer Papers.... but, coming this fall, Stampin' UP! is introducing their own Digital Scrapbooking program!!!! I am going to LOVE this, as Digital Crafting is something I really enjoy... will keep you all updated as I get more information...

I am still organizing... yes, it's true, I've been saying this for years, and yes, my daughter, Sarah has been trying to help. She had it all cleaned up for me once and of course, I had to go in and make a mess out of it!!! I'll be weeding out some of my stamp sets, papers, etc... and having a garage sale.... yes, my family would adore you all to come by and take these goodies away...

Of Course, that means more get togethers to CRAFT!!!! I'll have the room and be able to find items more easily....

Bobby goes back to work Thursday!!! I've been soooo tired from all the time at the beach and Agate Hunting. Yes, I am burned out... now there is a ton of stuff to get caught up on...

Steven is home for the summer. He's working at a local golf shop and getting ready for coaching youth football. He's a natural with working with the kids...

Sarah is still up in Salem, working as a personal caregiver, going to college, and helping who ever needs a hand. She is such a blessing to me and to many.

Make it a creative day!!!
