Simple beauty. It lurks everywhere, waiting to be noticed. A few weeks ago, I was sick in the night and in the morning, I stretched out in my chair under my furry blanket glad for home and rest and glad it was this Saturday and not the one before, when all my family from away were […]

Pictures never do God’s handiwork complete justice, but they do offer a glimpse! The colors of His artwork are always amazing. I want to dip my brush in. I want to […]
Because Cake
My tiny children turned into teenagers this year. Granted, they haven’t been tiny children for several years now. But as parents are wont to do, we’re convinced those little people really can’t have morphed into growing-up already!! We celebrated this teenage thing last weekend with a birthday party for them both. I have pictures to […]

Paper Flowers Tutorial
Hi to You today! 🙂 Want to make a paper flower or two? We did Christmas ones over here. These are the same, just any-occasion paper. January is a good project month. I like making these and they’re easy. They can make me feel just a bit fumble-fingered when I flatten them to glue them in […]

Icy Winter
