At the Cross

 
 
Happy Father's Day!
 
This man has been my rock.  I'm so blessed to have him as an example for my daughter!  I pray that your father has taught you the lessons that truly matter in life:
 
serving others
faithfulness to one spouse
unconditional love for grandchildren
work ethic - providing for a family
tithing 10% + and watching the blessings flow
support of missions
standing firm on the Truth
 
All of these principles are eternal! 
Thank you dad for instilling them into my very core!
 
John 14:12-14
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
 
Have a blessed day! 
If you are able, give your father a BIG hug today!

What's New in the Studio?

I've been VERY busy around the studio!
 
I have a really big series of art shows coming up in July.  So...I've been doing a lot of prep work to get ready!
 
I thought it would be fun to show the work in progress for the next five weeks before the show!
 
This is what I've been working on this week:
 
 
Cutting lots of letters to stitch to journals...
 
 
Making journal covers in every color of the rainbow...
 

 
Cutting all of the lumber for picture frames...
 
 
Making business cards...
 
 
AND...stamping out clay pendants.
 
Thanks for stopping by!

It's Summer!

Another year of teaching under my belt!
 
This was one of my best years of my teaching career.  It was such a unique year.  It was a year I cannot put into words...one of those experiences that you just treasure as a mother.
 
This year my daughter was in my class.
 
 
This was a special year of memories!
