Happy Friday!

Good morning! In case you were wondering, there is no baby Andrew yet. Valerie's due date came and went (January 2nd). We think Andrew is way too comfortable in his mommy's tummy and is taking his sweet time to come out. In the meantime, Valerie has tried Chinese food, spicy food, walking,  castor oil, you name it... nothing seems to work! Oh well, we hope he comes sometime this month!

I got to play with this fabulous Kaisercraft Ornate Frame at Paper Niche.

This is how it turned out after I played with inks, paints and a ton of embellishments.

Hopefully I will have good news over the weekend about the baby. Have a great and blessed day!

Beautiful moments...

Good morning! Hope you are keeping yourself warm and cozy as this cold front hits us these days. Today I am posting this layout I made using the fabulous My Minds Eye Rosy Collection. I love all the glitter on the papers.

This is a cluster of flowers, leaves and embellishments.

 

Have a great and blessed day!

Back to normal....

Good morning!  Well, here we are  in the new year already.  Baby Andrew is taking his sweet time and he is still cuddling in his mommy's belly. His due date was yesterday. Let's see when he decides to leave his comfort zone... we sure are anxious to meet him!

This is the fabulous Prima Romantique Collection.  The colors are very vintage.

These ladies are so fancy!

Lots of bling of course!

Have a great and blessed day!

Happy New Year!

As I reflect on the meaning of the old and the new year, I can't help think of what Solomon, the wisest man on earth wrote many, many years ago.  He advises us to trust God and enjoy what we do have rather than complain about what we do not have.  Life is short and life is difficult, so make the most of it while you can.  He also tells us to remember that there is a time for everything.

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:

a time to be born and a time to die,  a time to plant and a time to uproot, 

a time to kill and a time to heal,  a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, 

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,  a time to keep and a time to throw away, 

a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, 

a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. 

What do workers gain from their toil?  I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race. He has made

everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end. (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11).

Happy New Year!
