The riches of Your love will always be enough. Nothing compares to Your embrace. Light of the world, forever reign!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I've been a little MIA for a while. Just so busy with work, home, family, all the usual. But I wanted to take a minute to say I hope everyone had a wonderful day. I hope you took a minute to count your blessings and reflect on God's gracious love for you. And, I hope you didn't eat so much that you're miserable now! lol

We will actually had a quite day at home working on a few projects. My family is getting together Sat for the big turkey meal, after which I'm sure I will be miserable!

And remember, don't spend all your money on the black Friday sales! I've got some goodies coming up soon that you're going to want!

Blessings!

Just saw the most beautiful thing, a man walking to church with his 2 children, bible in one hand, his little girl's hand in his other.

It's official!

November classes

I'm working on getting my Nov classes posted. I have next week up now. Not too late to sign up! All classes listed are at Michaels North Jackson, corner of Ridgeway and County Line Rd.

Oops.

I'm trying to rework my blog. Not working out so well. Patience, please, as I try to figure out what I did wrong. (That was more for me than anyone else. lol)

I'm wearing my own personal costume creation: band wife. Lol

Headed to Underground 119 to hear my hubby play with Raphael Semmes and other cool guys!

I found a sticky that sticks to the non-stick craft mat. Stencil spray adhesive. You can get it off but takes effort. Leave it to me! My gift! Lol

My classes today, Michaels N. Jackson: 1pm Cricut Test Drive-learn the Cricut; 4pm Christmas Tags Tim Holtz Style-fun techniques.

Better is one day Your courts, better is one day in Your house than thousands elsewhere.

He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures. My chains are gone. I've been set free. Unending love, amazing grace!

Praying today for Pastor Dave and Pam Garner as they embark on a new adventure with God that takes them closer to grandkids!

Warning. When using Mexican vanilla in uncooked recipes, you might want to use less than called for. Powerful stuff. Oops.

There is hope for the helpless, rest for the weary, love for the broken heart. There is mercy and healing, grace and forgiveness. Cry out to Jesus.
