Life In The Fast Lane

Life never seems to slow down for me these days!

I finally planted some pansies.

Only to get home and realize they were primroses!

I know the difference, but was in a hurry.

My constant companion!

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I,

A Cowgirls Grace, Pony Girl, and Loveleigh Treasures

decided we were going to start crafting.

The work has begun!!!
Here are a few of things I have made.

PILLOWS!

I want to thank June at

"Laughing With Angels"

for the rose inspiration!

You really must read her blog!

I didn't have the magazine she recommended,

so I got creative on my own.

love to add BLING!!!

Old lace doilies and chenille bedspreads.
You can't see it in this picture, but the background is
pink with silver threads running through it.

I've done a lot of soul searching and praying about this

adventure.

I believe God has his hand out and is guiding us.

~Take time to smell the roses~

lots of lace

We started hitting garage sales and the Goodwill last summer!

We have lots of goodies stashed away.

vintage bottles & music from old hymnal's

~Go confidently in the directions of your dreams~

filling my heart with songs of worship and praise!

button, button, who's got the button!



One of my favorite songs

by Brandon Heath

Give me your eyes for just one second

Give me your eyes so I can see

Everything that I keep missing

Give me your love for humanity

Give me your arms for the broken hearted

Ones that are far, beyond my reach.

Give me your heart for the ones forgotten

Give me your eyes so I can see

We have decided to rent a little space in one of the
Antique stores.

glistening! sparkling!

Lots of glitter

stamps

~It's A Wonderful Life~

joy; to fill with ecstatic happiness,

pleasure, or satisfaction, to enjoy

great happiness, delight

Soul Awakening

It is amazing how one can sit and ponder over all

the things not going the way you want in your life.

A small voice reminds me of all the blessings bestowed upon me.

Write it on your heart that every day is the

best day of the year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today I will...

Enjoy the simple things.

Let the things I LOVE be my escape.

Cherish all the wonderful moments and memories.

Fill my life with joy.

Be grateful.

Focus on the positive.

Nurture my soul.

DREAM!

Life whispers...Listen carefully

It is such a comfort to drop the tangles of life

into GOD"S hands and leave them there.

A Valentine for You

Happy Valentine's Day!

"love the Lord your God

with all your heart,

and with all your strength."

Deuteronomy 6:5

Be Still My Heart

They charm you with their subtle "style,"

they walk tall across the dusty road, they ride beautiful horses.

They chase, they hunt, they are greedy or they are givers.

They have high self esteem or they are wicked creatures.

They are rough, they are tough, they are ready and they

will kill swiftly if they have to.

They played wild west outlaws, notorious gunfighters,

town marshals, bounty hunters or old west farmers.

Western movie actors carried a heroic attitude.

I love them all!!!
Good or bad!

Please Mr. Groundhog

Old Groundhog stretched in his leafy bed,

He turned over slowly and then he said,

"I wonder if spring is on the way,

I'll go and check the weather today.

If I see my shadow between eleven and noon,

I then will know that I'm out too soon.

I'll crawl back in bed for six weeks more,

Pull up the warm covers and snore and snore.

But if no shadow gives me a scare,

I know that spring in in the air.

I'll wake my friends and wish them cheer,

With glorious news that spring is here!"
