Hellooooooo !

Hi ladies, I know it's been a looking time, since my last post. Just been enjoying God's mercy and his patience with me. Living up to holy life has never been harder, but with his grace we can conquer all. Let me share with you my first "craft" love....crocheting, yup that's right....I'm a hooker.....TeeHee. I learned how to crochet when I visited my grandma in Mexico as a child, I was probably around 10 yrs old. Since day one, I was hooked....TeeHee. I've loved this craft so much and I am so pleased to announce that my girls are loving it too, especially my oldest daughter...she even reads patterns, which I had always struggled with, till recently, thanks to her. Here are a few pictures of my creations, I will be sharing some more in the near future. Thanks for letting me share my passions with you. Love ya !

What I've been up to

   Hi ladies, just a quick update....I haven't been scapbooking much, just focusing on family and church.  I've had a very tight schedule as of now because we've been practicing for our Easter play.  So, till then I hope to at least burden you with a few lines once a week or so to update you on what's been going on with "Holy" TeeHee.   For now if you haven't notice yet, there is a new button on my blog, I've been browsing the Pinterest Site, and to tell you the truth, it's a bit overwhelming...still trying to figure it out, but having fun doing so.  If your interested in it, click on the "Follow me" button, to get an invite, I think that's how it works, TeeHee.  
Goodbye for now, and be blessed.

Update....

     Well,

         H E L L O Ladies,

Long time no blog, TeeHee,  just a little update on what's been going on....I took a break from blogging/youtube/challenges/and crafting in general....It was getting a little overwhelming and frankly

was taking too much time from family, but especially my spiritual time.  I will not jeopardize my "spirit well-being" for crafting, no matter how much I do enjoy crafting.  But just to show you what I had previously

completed, I will be loading some pictures.  I hope you enjoy them and I'll be posting soon my  ABC Scripture Challenge Cards.

I pray ya'll have an awesome week and especially a Blessed Thanks Giving Day.

Be Blessed,

  Norma

Swaps

These are the pictures for my "Vintage Tag Swap" at A Lil Scrap of Heaven.ning.

I had so much fun creating these tags....first of all I got to use my new Tim Holtz Tag die, second I had to paint, which I love, and I also used my Tim Holtz Dressform die...so much fun.  I pray all my group members like their card.  I'll probably be taking a break from these swaps, because I went a little crazy for the month of  September, I have like 5-6 swaps, plus my weekly challenges....so much to do, not enough time.

So for now I'll be posting a few of my current challenges, definitely going back to the ABC Scripture Challenge, I committed myself to it, and I will complete it.  In Jesus Name.

Well ladies, must leave for now, but for my next sneak peek.......

As always...... Be Blessed.

I like doing these kinds of swaps...so easy and believe it or not you can get creative with them.
Till next time....B Blessed

Heart Journal

Hello bloggers....
  Just spent the day on the computer....wow, it had been long.  I was able to upload some videos on YouTube and I also was tagging some pictures on my personal Facebook page.  Also, trying to get inspiration for my truly neglected ABC Scripture Challenge.  So disappointed in myself for not being able to get back to them, what I did do is cover all of the remaining pages I will need, now I just have to find the scripture I want to share and embellish.  Sounds easy, huh...LOL.
  Well, as promised her is the latest installment of my Greeting Farm Heart Journal Challenge...the theme/subject was paper piecing..what I really wanted to do more than the paper piecing was to use one of the new stamps I got from TGF from my B'day haul.  Since I first saw them I was attracted to them, they remind me so much of my sisters and I...I love them, so adorable. 
  Let me know what you think.  Till next time, be blessed
