Untitled rant



Vintage style paper and supplies - this stuff is VERY appealing to me. But alas, you must be a wholesaler to purchase directly from Cosmo Cricket.

Note to self - get AC Moore to carry this stuff.

Mom's Christmas Card




I designed this card specifically for my mom. I may duplicate the layout, but for now, this is the one and only (just like my mom).

Location, location, location

I'm not a huge fan of ribbon embellishment, but I had this idea for a Christmas card and then played with the placement of the ribbon.

On the side ?


or on the diagonal ?

or maybe, on the bottom ?

What do you think ????

C'mon, I really want to know - go ahead, be honest - I can take it.

Another Favorite Song

I heard this song the other day on the radio, but never heard the title or the group's name. With the computer-savvy help of my son, I was able to find the lyrics as well as the name of the group who sang it AND a source for purchasing Christian music!

Walk By Faith by Out of the Grey

I'm gonna walk by faith, not by sight
'Cause I can't see straight in the broad daylight
I'm gonna walk by faith, not by fear
'Cause I believe in the One who brought me here

I'm standing on the edge of whatever
Whatever He has planned for me
My next step will be measured
With confidence in the unseen
Like dancing on the edge of forever I have nothing left to lose
Flying free as a feather
A vagabond in beautiful shoes

I'm moving through this great unknown
With faith beneath my feet I take the road invisible
But I know Jesus goes with me
Oh, I believe, I believe
Because You gave Yourself to me
And I have nothing left to fear
'Cause I see it's You who brought me here
Though the road ahead is not quite clear
Still I know the way

A Peek at a Christmas Gift


I can't show the whole thing - in case my sister decides to check out my blog - I'll post the complete picture after Christmas...

Shopping, shopping & more shopping

Between our online "excursions" and the face the mob outings, I've been doing my fair share of Christmas shopping. On one of my recent trips - blissfully unaccompanied by either my husband or son - don't get me wrong, I love them both, but sometimes I just need to face the hoards alone...anyway - I was at the BX where we shop regularly where they have the beloved back room which is currently filled with holiday booty (decorations, candy, and various gift items). Needless to say, I am drawn to this room like a moth to a flame. So I'm standing there, trying to channel the wants and desires of those lucky gift recipients still on our list and then I spy this.....


Yes, it's the unlikely combination of items vacuum-packed into a Christmas gift idea. It is possibly the cheesiest gift I've purchased to date. Sure hope it's Gouda. (LOL)

What I've Been Up To....

This is an original play our church is putting on. I've been busy with learning lines and doing a bunch of the prep work on these flyers (which reminds me I need to finish the program layout too) plus I've gotten to use my "geek-girl" computer skills to devise a PowerPoint presentation to go along with the opening narration. All this AND planning for a boatload of family members coming for Christmas. Oh, and don't forget the Christmas shopping or the crafting that simply must be done or my might actually spontaneously combust....

Wow, no wonder I'm so tired!
