Big sun rising

Good morning folks....I captured this awesome sun rising this morning.  It's already taken the chill off and promises to bring a beautiful day!

Had a great visit over the phone with my dear sister, Mary who if you don't know already was featured in Art Journaling by Sumeret Studio (pgs 50 through 57 and comment on pg 88.  Hope you enjoyed her awesome journaling and tip as well.

Heres a photo taken of a rose still blooming out front.  You can actually see the dew on their petals.

 

These beautiful Bluebirds are nesting in this Apple birdhouse again this year!

Blessings to all who are struggling with all kinds of issues, knowing that God is in total control!

His timing is perfect so don't fret because everything HE does is for our good. 

Have an awesome day, and stay strong in God's word...

Another Craft Shop yesterday!!!

Yep, I was feeling well enough to set up at another Craft Show this time at a Church near home.  So happy to meet all the great ladies who kept this Show running smoothly!   Angie not only is a member there, but also attends my Church with her husband every Sunday before attending her Church. Our Church lets out at 10:30 and her's starts at 11:00 so next week I'm going to join her...
I did very well selling not only jewelry, but some paintings and knitted scarves.  I just want to say, Prayer is so Powerful....for the past 3 wks things have been almost to a stand still at my hubby's shop, but God does always provide for our needs...I made enough to get our groceries for the week...Praise be to God...
Here are a couple photos of the sale...

This young girl is awesome, and her love for God is most important to her!!!

Life has sure been busy lately

So many things have taken a front seat the past few weeks, but most important was going into surgery for a Hysteroscopy and D&C yesterday....for the last month I've know the doctor doing the surgery was about 97% sure I had ovarian cancer!  Whatever was found I know God would give us the strength to handle it.  There was this awesome peace way down deep inside be that only God could give, and we all know Prayer is Power!!!  Am happy to say the dr was wrong!! He did find Polyps and took them all out.  Yay...God peace and grace outshines anything!!!  I"m home resting some for I think they took my old legs and tied them in a Knot...my hips feel like that's what happened..hehehehe!!! 

I have many scriptures from the Bible I love,  but the one my friend, Nancy Williamson from  "Footprints from the Potter's Home"  My sweet sister, Mary went to one of their awesome retreats several years ago...and at the end we all sat around the big bondfire after the sun went down...what an awesome feeling came over me that night...I could feel God's presence and knew these girls were being used my HIM.  I was given a scripture from them that I really needed...because of things in my past it really spoke to my heart...made me realize that the past must be delt with then left there..in the past...oh we never forget, but we need to put those "bad" feelings about ourselves behind us to leave room for all the things God has for us in the future...I totally believe I have and am so very thankful~~~  this scripture I've shared before, but am going to do so again...for it's as much a part of me as the Lord's Prayer!!  This was on my lips as I was put to sleep for my surgery....and I woke with them in my Heart!!!

Peace I leave with you,
my peace I give unto you:
 not as the world giveth,
give I unto you. 
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.

John 14:27

this is for everyone who believes Jesus died on the Cross at Calvary for all our Sins. Putting all that is written in the Bible into practice in your lives as you try to be more like HIM....one day our Lord will come again and I honestly pray it's in my time...what a glorious sighting that would be...I pray that those who have heard the truth, but haven't accepted HIM as their Lord and Saviour make that decision now, accept that free gift!



Look what an awesome place for a Retreat!!!

Our Annual Sams Family Reunion

We so enjoy meeting up with Dewey's bros and sisters and their extended families.  Dewey and I decided to take Rt 42 up to Goshen, VA because there's so much more to see...well what should have taken us 3 hrs ended up taking a little over 4.  I sure was good to see all the smiling faces when we arrived.  Our son, Lee and his 2 kids were already there as well.   There was so much food (as usual) and they were happy to see I did my meatballs again this year.  The expected rains didn't hold off as long as they were supposed to...we were hit with a down pour at 3 so everyone decided to pack up and head home.  Took us another 4+ hrs to get back home.  Not a trip we should make all in one day wouldn't you say?  
Some photos of new jewelry created last week.  Blessings!!

 

Loving creating new paintings of old barns

I've had a very busy week painting and organizing things for the show I'm going to be in August 25th...am excited about it...I want to show a couple of the barns and other paintings I've do, but also wanted to share some of the photos I took on Sunday after Church...we had to go to Dewey's bro's to take him a tool he needed...so I rode along to visit his wife, Debbie...such a very special person, artist in her own right.  It did rain most of the way down, and all the way back then when we got into Cross Junction the sun came out!!!  Yes!!!

Had a great show on Sat

Good morning! How was your weekend?  The much anticipated Craft Show at Access Independence, a center for Independent living.  I wanted to share with you some of the photos I took of some of the venders participating.  We all had a grand time meeting and greeting so many people who live in and around Winchester, VA.
