Faith & Love Printables

While the Garage is a mess and it is hard to get my crafting stuff out I have been playing around with my computer programs.  I really like scripture art and so I made two more prints.

This one is Love with the verse  John 3 1-3 behind it.

 Then Faith with 1 Corinthians 13 4-7 on it.
I made printables for you and this time I made a color variation.  

The Faith and Love are semi transparent so you can see the writing under them.

I can see the yellow and Blue in a nice Summer theme with sea shells and candles.

Just click on the photo of the one you like and save it to your computer then you can re-size it to what ever you need and print! 

I hope you all have a great day!

California Fires

I live in Tehachapi  Ca. and it is the site of the West Fire.  We are thankful that the fire is on the other side of the valley but there are families that have lost it all.  

“I lost it all and some of my animals died,” said weary, red-eyed George Plesko at the evacuation center. “Mine’s burnt to the ground. I watched my 5,000 gallon tank burst open. I watched my house, my barn, my doolie trucks burn to the ground. I got out of there.”

We are on the list to take horses, cattle or any animal that needs pasture.  Unfortunately we cannot do much monetarily so we are offering what we can.  We are blessed that the Red Cross was on scene quickly and has shelter set up for the evacuees.  The fire crews came quickly as well and there are currently 800 fire personnel on scene.  

Please pray for the people who have lost homes and pray protection over the firefighters and all involved.   

My Hubby works for a local water district and was called to open some dip tanks yesterday and was awestruck at the devastation.  Sunshine cried when she heard and Moonshine offered to give his legos to the families.

This is not the only fire in Kern County There is also the Bull fire which has burned 15,982 acres so far.

As far as we know no one has been killed in either fire and pray that it stays that way.

I know this is not a usual post for me but I felt it important to post.

Flower Headband Cuz Everyone's doin it!

Okay finally yesterday Sunshine and I decided to get in on the fabric flower makin' trend.  I was inspired by the pink knit comfy pants I had.  I made them into shorts and had the leg part left.  Not wanting to just throw it away I thought about the flowers I had been seeing all over the net.  I saw in my reader that a blog I follow called Infarrantly Creative (who just so happened to like my Scripture Art) had shown that Oopsey Daisy had compiled a list of flower tutorials from all over the blog world Check it out HERE.  So I don't remember which one I looked at first but I got the general idea and we started rolling and twisting.   

Sunshine had some buttons and shiny stuff in her sewing box so we added them and took her Dollar Tree headband and glued them on.

Love the pink with the green fabric of the headband.

Super Cute! Super Easy! Super Cheap!

 Anything would look good on this head!  Ain't she cute??

Have you tried fabric flowers yet??

Organization part 4

So I must say we have been a little busy this week.  On the weekend we Went to Disneyland then Hung out at the Beach with my Brother and Sis in law.  The Kids have had VBS all week and I need a nap!  My wonderful Hubby has a full time job then he also runs his own equipment business.  In the afternoons he works sometimes till dark.  He is a busy guy.

See that's him in the backhoe! 

On top of all that he is a great Dad a wonderful Husband and now working at being a storage solution builder.

This is where we are 

He has all the pieces perilously balanced up so he can paint them.

I am getting super excited because they are looking great!

Here are the doors and drawer fronts.

So hopefully soon I will be able to do the final reveal!

Oh yeah there is the whole mess in the garage to clean first!  It may take a little longer than planned.

Stay tuned!

My Grandma Had them so I should too.

I was so excited when I stopped in the thrift store today and saw a complete set of Bible Story books. They were in perfect condition and they remind me of summers when I would visit my Grandparents.  My Grand mother would read to us sometimes before bed or throughout the day.  She had the set of these books and I am sure one of my Aunts has them now.  Hard back books are a $1 each but the girl decided to ask because she said childrens books were .25 cents each.  The nice lady that came back with her said that it was Gods word and she did not feel right charging for them.  So I took all 10 with me and left a $5.00 donation.  She was happy I was happy and my kids are excited to start reading them.  We all won!

 I also found this bamboo shaped green vase in another store for .25 cents.  I love the color and will be adding it to my small collection.

New Decor and a Printable

I have been wanting some scripture around the house and had another cabinet door sample so I started working on it last night.  To see what I did with the last cabinet door

 CLICK HERE.  I used a linen paper to print the verse onto. 

I used a bird nest graphic and a handwritten note from The Graphics Fairy for the background.  I faded them out so they don't interfere with the text. 

I have also made a printable version for anyone who would like it.  

Click on above image to enlarge it then you can save and adjust for printing.

Beth over at Stories From A to Z is having a mantel vignette Party so I thought I would join in with my new scripture art.

 The complete set up.

Do you like my egg wreath?  Joann's clearance for $1.99!

What have you made lately?

A Week of Firsts

Okay I feel like the biggest baby on earth!  My wonderful Brother and his wife asked to take Sunshine for the week.  My Bro works at Girls Inc. it is a wonderful place that "Inspires all girls to be Strong, Smart and Bold"  that is their motto.  If you have girls they may like the Girls inc Web site with games, stories and such HERE.  
Okay it is kinda funny to see him in a shirt that says Girls Inc on the front and be strong, smart and bold on the back.  ha ha ha!  Well that is neither here nor there back to the point.  Sunshine is my girl my pretty, beautiful, smart and always with me girl.  She is gone!  For the whole WEEK!  I don't know how I let this happen. I had a little healthy bouncing baby girl and next thing I know she is 10 and gone for a week.  Needless to say I have to drink a lot of PEPSI to deal with this situation.

At least I still have Moonshine home with me.  Well until today!  My Bro in law called last night and asked if Moonshine would like to go fishing.  Seriously the nerve of family members!  Cant he see I am feeling lonely enough already!  Of course Moonshine was so excited! He has never been fishing and has wanted too for a long time. I told him 

it would break his mommas heart if he left me too  NO I told him I was so excited for him (and wiped the tears from my eyes) 

Hubby said I should be glad and moms always want time alone.  Then he winked and said, "I am still here and no one else is"  okay we all know where he was going with that!  I explained how I was now super excited to be alone and could he please go to work so I could bask in my aloneness! 

So that is me just here with my computer, Beth Moores book So Long Insecurity, my dog snoring in my lap and a 24 pack of PEPSI!  (things are looking up!)

 

Hope your day is Glorious and you get all the alone time you need! 

What do you do in your alone time?

Organization Part 3

Okay so here is where we are in our building situation.  All the pieces are put together and wood putty has been applied.

All made waiting for wood putty and backs.

This one will have doors. Don't look too closly I am not that great at the putty part.

Doors hubby made.  Poor hubby after he was finished he realized it would have been a good idea to staple from the back!  Oh well just more wood putty.

Okay a little action shot for all you ladies out there!

You can look but don't touch! He's taken!
