So The Plan...

is God's plan. There is no other plan better but most times we
fight it so hard. Take for instance Evan All Mighty. At the end
of the movie Evan said something so simple yet profound. He
had made a statement about God knowing all along the end result
and outcome of his situation AND that He knew that it would
work for Evans own good but Evan fought God every step of the
way. We tend to do this ALL the time and even now there is some
situation or trial in our lives that we are fighting God about
yet we know that He knows what is ultimately best for us. How
insane is that and yet we do it.
I am getting into this because of the signs of the times and
personal issues in my life. Hubby has had to take off work for
the most part of the week due this new medication that he started
for anxiety. It is brutal to the body in all aspects for about 4 weeks.
After that is when we get to see the end results of it being in his
system. So that means little money for us since I am still looking for
work and a postponing of us getting a place of our own. It has to be
done either way so his has to be left in Gods hands plain and simple.
He knows what he is doing.



Here are a few projects that I completed. The page was done for
ScrapFaith and the card was done using the CPS sketch for this
week. I am so sorry that I didn't get a chance to post about the
giveaways and such. Life so gets in the way of us trying to live it. LOL!




Be blessed!

Gen 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Think about this one as we go throughout our day. We DO NOT want the enemy's rebellious heart.

The Way Back Home

Happy second day of fall!!! This time of year always puts
me in the mood to go back home. The home in which I
grew up in and when I saw these specialty toys from McDonalds
(very rare we eat there) it just touched my heart. They have
such a classic look and the details are beyond words to me.
The series is by Madame Alexander's Wizard of Oz. I am not
one for collecting things but I sure wouldn't mind having
all the characters from this particular set. They remind me
of the true few friends that we all have in life that always
helps us find the way back home.






Here is a second page for the month that I created with some goodies
from American Crafts ofcourse. My sister has been after this one ever
since I started this one. This is her daughter Kelsey. I guess it's time
to give it up. LOL!



This page I created for ScrapJack! I couldn't resist this time around
and decided to get something together. Hope it's not too late!



We have been working on getting ready to move into a small
little corner of our own. We got rid of SO much stuff that it is
not funny. I figure that it is time for a fresh start with everything.
I am also seeking part-time work so if you all could lift that up
in prayer I sure would appreciate it.
I am off now to eat a litte bit of dinner and relax for the rest of
the night. I feel the woman thing comin on. LOL!
Be blessed!

Hiya! I was supposed to get this up yesterday but I didn't come
close to doing this. See that picture up top?! Well, that is an AMAZING
ADVENTURE about to take way this week starting on Friday the 19th!
I know that it says the 12th so pay no attention to that. It's wrong. LOL!

http://www.amazingfactskids.org/
It is going to be AWESOME and I can't wait to get started! We are also

Project Post Time!!!

Here are my latest creation over a span of time. I am in the
middle of packing and getting everything organized and am
finally working hard to get published for the first time ever.
LOL!



This is the first of many American Crafts projects. I CAN NOT
get enough of it. Such gorgeousness with everything that they
do!!!


Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh...
my first love when it comes to art. Drawing! I have picked this
back up again. This one is not finished but will be soon. I needed
to practice and decided to draw this lovely young lady who just
recently went off to SDA Academy. I am SO proud of her. She
will be on leave soon and I wanted to surprise her with this. She
is going to be SO thrilled!
This colorful page I created for the Bad Girls Kits Top Designer
contest. The assignment was all about layering! You know I was
all over that one!

It has been a while since my last CPS creation so here's to you lovlies
who inspire us crafters SO much!
Lastly this is my very first creation for Inspired by Amelie! So much
stunning work that it is a must see! http://inspiredbyamelie.blogspot.com/
We are being sponsored by Red Velvet Kit Club which I have been stalking
for quite some time and have been meaning to add to my faves!!! Get creating
and get those projects in by the 21st!!!



I will be back on Sunday to tell you about a couple of contest and
giveaways!!!
BE BLESSED!!!
2 Timothy 2:15
2Ti 2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Where Did She Go Again?!


No where. LOL! I have just been extremely busy with life, new projects,
having to move soon from my Mothers place, getting a part-time job, church
ofcourse, and other little odds and ends.

It seems as though our new found adventure has come to a quick end
and it was SO for the best for everyone. To make a long story really short
we had planned on moving some where a lot farther away from Vegas
than I have ever been. We prayed diligently about it and God said no. It
seems like evertime we take a turn to leave here God always leads us back.
A good friend told me that God probably has a plan for me right here in Sin City
as they call it. I know that there are who are seeking it's just a matter of
how He is going to use me to share. So we are staying and that's that.
I will be back tomorrow to share some recent works and to share a recent
craft that I have picked back up again.

Every Wednesday we have prayer meeting in which we memorize a key
scripture. I think this one was from last week. ENJOY!


Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Col 3:2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
Col 3:3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.


Be blessed and thank you to all who have been keeping me in thought and prayer. Love you much!

Serious Prayer and a New Adventure On The Way


No, I am not preggy but we need tons of prayer for the things happening
now and for the things soon to come. We are in the middle of a family crisis
and getting ready to make a HUGE move from Vegas where we will be
surrounded with those we know we can count on. They are our second family
and are of the faith. This will not affect my creative process too much
but I will have to start working and know that the kids will be safe with
them. MAJOR prayers please as we plan this thing through.
It is about that Sabbath time again and I just wanted to let you know that
I am hangin in there blog and all.
Be blessed!

Just Makes Me Smile

These little creatures brings forth SO much joy. These pics are
from last Sabbath. We went over a friends house after church
to do some extra studies and the kids were getting restless. We
took them outside to let lose for a while. If only us adults were
so easy to amuse.





I have not worked on any projects for two days. I think that I
needed a mental break and the fact that I spent most of the day
going through storage had something to do with it. I just might
try to do a little something tonight before bed. Maybe...
Matthew 8:5-10
Mat 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Mat 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marveled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
Be blessed!!!
Oh, if you are wondering who the little girl is in the first photo it's cousin Kelsey. Is she gorgeous or what! She is a little sweetheart as well.
Bye for now...

So Last Friday Came Around and...




AaaaaaaHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh!!! A HUGE American Crafts box was
delivered to the door!!! Talk about a DREAM come true!!! Talk about
overwhelming!!! I am SO siked and ready to get started. THANK YOU
SO MUCH again American Crafts for this honor!!!

Last week I was extremely busy with church and had forgot for a
moment about posting pics of my scrap space. When I finally got
around to remembering I couldn't find them so I had to take new
ones today. It is a mess I know but I think that I work better that
way. If you think this is something you should have seen my art
teachers cubbies when I was in high school!
I didn't get around to starting PCI back up this month but for sure
I know that September will be the month. Things are calming down
a bit, hubby is getting off the blood thinners, assignments are being
turned in almost on time, and all that jazz. LOL! It is still a little nuts
but that is what makes life worth living sometimes. Stay tuned for
a few pics of our church family and a few projects that I have completed!
For todays scripture reading I would ask that you all go check out ScrapFaith.http://scrapfaith.blogspot.com/
Please read the post for 8/13 and 8/15. I have been going through
something of great matter and this really hit home. I have read over 8/13
several times and just keep getting better. May God bless!

Hey all, Here is some Upsy Daisy love for you! These are projects

products for the most part. My FAVE collections are the Cupcake
and Tweeter lines!!! YUM!














I have been working on my scrap space lately and will FINALLY
be sharing where it is I create. I had realized I have never done this
before. SHAME! Anywho, those pics will be on the next post some
time this week.
Oh, and please stop by and visit us at the Upsy Daisy site! http://www.upsydaisydesigns.com/index.php

Matthew 6:19-21
Mat 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Be blessed!

Lots of Things...










or photos should I say! I don't feel like talking much tonight so
I thought that I would just let the photos speak for me. Use your
imaginations. Hee, Hee!!!
I have several projects that I will be sharing soon as well as trying
my best to get back to posting on PCI.
I may have posted this scripture before but since it was the focus of
our prayer meeting tonight it couldn't hurt to meditate on it again.
Psalms 119:11
Psa 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
Be blessed!
