I'm thankful for.....

Knowing in my heart true peace comes only when I become submissive to God's will in my life why then did I try to do things in my own strength?  Too many times I'd fall into the snares of the world around me creating heartache and disaster.   Being a child of God creates a struggle in, and against the world,  by keeping HIS word uppermost in my heart and mind brings complete peace. Then  God takes up my whole heart!   Being in my Father's arms keeps me safe as a baby feels when tucked in his mother's arms.

But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ.  Phil 4:19

Our mom is coming for Thanksgiving Dinner!

Shortly after our kids started having children of their own they decided to stay at home and celebrate Thanksgiving with them, and in some cases their husbands or wives.  At first it was a big disapointment, but as the years have gone by, we find it's really ok...we do get together for a big Christmas dinner at Dewey's daughter and her family.  This Thanksgiving we are pleased to have my 93 yr old mom coming to spend a couple weeks with us.  I was a little worried about her around the dogs since it's been a few years, but she says they will be just fine.  I've been so busy getting my Christmas jewelry and paintings ready for the different Christmas Bazaars I'm going to be in I haven't had time to do much cleaning, so you can guess what I'm going to be doing the rest of this week...hehehehe!!!  I do hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving sharing with your family...course our door is alway open just in case someone decided to come by....my daughter, Missy and her boyfriend will be coming too so it will be fun.
I finished a couple more necklaces and earrings and thought I'd share with you...Blessings, and if you travel thru the Holidays I pray for your safety!!

My first Christmas Bazaar leads to others!!

As many of you know I was in a Christmas Bazaar Nov 5th, and while there having a great time meeting many of the people who live in our community (for the first time) I was asked to be in 2 more Bazaars and to have lunch with a couple of my new found friends.  What a wonderful Saturday I had, not only for meeting so many nice people, but my handmade Jewelry and paintings made a big hit.  I have orders for a couple more paintings, and yes, more jewelry!  I had a couple orders for more hats and scarves as well...I think when this next 6 weeks are finished my poor hands are gonna need some tender, loving care..heheheh!!!
Don't forget to stop by my Etsy shop to see what's new!!!
Here are some photos I took at the Bazaar of most of the sellers there...blessings to all of a wonderful rest of the week while keeping our Abba Father upper most in our minds...if not for HIM I wouldn't be able to do the things I do...my gifts are from HIM~~ Praise be to God!!!

This table was full of fun hats & scarves and

adorable cat & dog beds!

Great prices on this table

Just look at all the goodies!

The gentleman who made all these things was

a delight, and sat in front of me!

I bought one of his magazine racks...Only $5.00

These are more hats etc from this lady

More beautiful items for sale

This little gal who's Granny was hold her

was just so precious.

I couldn't help giving her on of my scarves with

hat, and she danced for me when I put it on her!!!

This was my table...a bit crouded, but the person who was to use

the table to my right didn't show so I was able to put all the

painting on it...it was much easier to share my jewelry up close

To the right of this one were my hats & scarves and the gal who

had all the Home Interior for sale was just about giving it away!!!

The sellers all had put very reasonable prices on their items because of

the bad economy!!!

What a blessing!!!

Giving makes my heart sing!

Good morning my dear friends!  I've been very busy getting ready for the Christmas Bazaar this weekend, Nov 5th at our local Fire Department.  I've never done one before so am really looking forward in meeting and greeting people who stop by.  I've got small earrings for just a dollar, and necklace and earring sets for $10.00 making it easier for those of us living on a very restricted budget to be able to find something nice for family and friends.  I'm adding some Christmas paintings to my table most of which are framed, and lots of scarves and hats that I made.
Many of us at our Church are members of our Outreach Program and I'm happy to say have make some lovely things for one of the local Nursing Homes in the area.  We also provide food from our "Closet" for those in need.  Here are some of the lap blankets I've made to give.

I know for me, giving makes me so happy...we don't have much money, but there other ways to give...your time, your love, compassion....just think about the ways you can give of yourself to others!!!

Blessings.
