Women And Their Gifts: Jori K.
Let me introduce you to this little ray of sunshine named Jori. God crossed our paths through bible study and drew us closer by placing us together in a small prayer group within the same study. She blessed me back then when we prayed for each other, but little did I know how much she would bless me today. Jori is a totally adorable mom of two handsome young boys that don't leave the house without matching clothes. She adores her husband and sings his praises often, as she should. He rocks. ... continue reading...

Maps: Where in the world is Daddy?
Maps intrigue me. I miss the day when the front seat was filled with an oversized, impossible to fold back the right way good old fashioned road map. I get the benefit of gps navigation and having that mysterious voice echo through your car, "turn left in one mile." But with a paper map you get a big picture view, the lay of the land. You notice off the path towns and places you might want to stop and explore along the way. For me, I can remember directions much better if I can see how the route ... continue reading...

DIY blue sky curtains
DIY No Sew Blue Sky Curtains This is an easy & fun project that has endless possibilities. When decorating this fun free spirited craft room we needed a window treatment that was light and airy, let natural light flow in and gave way to daydreaming. What could be better than a fade to blue sky scene? I started off with inexpensive gauze fabric from Hobby Lobby. I used navy blue Rit dye, this is where you could dream big in any color. Gather a bucket with hot water, some scissors and you are ... continue reading...
Abundance
I work best off a theme. Birthday parties, decorating any event really. A theme provides a launching point for the ideas to start flowing and pictures to start conjuring in my head. When my girlfriend and I were decorating for another friend we asked her a question to help us develop a game plan and feel for her space. We asked her, "Are you a mountain or a beach girl?" She said mountain. We both started seeing a room that was fresh, warm and cozy with a glimmer of girly glitz mountain lodge ... continue reading...

When I ... continue reading...
Who Ya Gonna Call?
Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3 Just a little thought for the day. When I reach for my phone it is a good time to mentally recall the picture above. It is also a time to think on Jeremiah 33:3. Sometimes God helps me out when my desire is to call a friend for advice or to rant and rave about whatever has me in a knot. He helps me by an unanswered call. Then I can stop and process. Then I can make the right and rational ... continue reading...
