Happy New Year !!!

    Hello Ladies,
Just a small note to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year.

  It has been an awesome 2013, and with the Lord's help it will be a terrific 2013.  Once again I must apologize for the lack of blogging, but, it is what it is.  I'm not gonna sweat the little things in life.  I will be trying to do as much blogging as I can, I will probably not make long notes and just add pictures, since that is probably quicker and I can do it with my Ipad. 
  New years resolutions...... yikes, never been good at sticking to them, but I had decided in early December to focus more on my daily devotional reading, so I will be starting Jan 1 with a daily devotional book my husband purchased for me called " Starting your day right" by Joyce Meyer...I will add a picture if I can of the book cover.  I will share with you and excerpt from Day 1... It talks about waking up on the wrong side of bed and that attitude can carry over to the rest of our day. "But today our feet can be firmly planted in God's Word.  There will be not "bad day" when God's Word supports, strengthens, and directs us."  Awesome encouragement for EVERYDAY.

Psalm 94:18  When I said, My foot is slipping, Your mercy and loving-kindness, O Lord, held me up.

Thank you all for your continued support and as always God Bless.


P.S.
I will be starting a new YouTube channel that will be more about my life and not just my love of scrapbooking, once I set it up and load my first video, I will announce it here.
New YouTube channel..... EverydayNorma

Some Thanksgiving Ideas I found on Pinterest

4 Creative Thanksgiving Activities:


1. Tell a Story
Children love stories. Take advantage of their natural interest by telling a story (perhaps about a Thanksgiving from your childhood) that will reinforce the importance of showing genuine gratitude. Stories of God’s faithfulness (and your thankfulness) can encourage kids to do the same!

2. Act it Out
Read about the plight of ten lepers who came to Jesus (Luke 17:11-19). Reinforce to the children that Christ praised the one person who returned to thank Him.

3. Make a “Blessing Basket”
Place a pencil and pad of paper inside a fall basket. Encourage kids to jot down ways God has blessed them. Younger children can draw or cut pictures from magazines. Read these blessings aloud and thank God together.

4. Count Your Blessings
Adopt this tradition suggested by Dr. James Dobson. Place several kernels of corn at each plate. At the start of the meal, drop the kernels in a basket as you each give thanks for God’s goodness in the previous year—one word of thanksgiving for each kernel. Candy corn works well for this, too!

May God shower you and your family with His richest blessings this Thanksgiving!

My Chevron Stitch Blanket

Good Morning...... 😃

Just a quick update on my progress, sharing a few pictures of the blanket. I've really been enjoying this new blanket, it's coming along pretty quick. I was hoping I would have it done already, since it's only a throw, but, I haven't had a chance to crochet every day. I am able to work at it after work and on Saturday. Overall I'm satisfied with it, except for the edges....for some reason they always look the worse, and I have to try to cover it up with the edging rows....will see how I do with this one.

Well, here are the pictures, I hope you have an awesome day and God Bless.

Blog Update

Hello Everybody 😁😁😁

Just a few lines to update you on how I'm doing. I've been very busy with life.... Church -Work -Family....etc. just been enjoying what the Lord has blessed us with, the Good and the Bad.

I realize I've neglected my Blog & YouTube channel, but I really needed to take time off, I realize I have very addictive tendencies with my crafts. I can get a little obsessive over them, and loose focus on "real world". I cannot let them take over my life when they truly are not a priority in my life, that are there to bring me joy, not to be "work".
So, I intend to start posting more on my blog, but they will be posts of my life, a big chunk of spiritual growth with a little dash of my creative side. I just bought a blogger app that will help me post here with my I-pad instead of having to pull out my computer.....this will allow me to make quick posts on the run. Well, these are my intentions and I pray I can keep them.
For now I leave you with a picture of the new blanket I'm crocheting for my husband.

Thanks to all my bloggie followers for all you sweet comments.
