Today Grace created a picture to go inside the picture frame I made yesterday. And I finished up a card for my mother-in-law. For the stamped panel I mostly followed the tutorial provided by the fabulous Michelle Zindorf. (Stamps are by Stampin’ Up.)
I’ll be honest. I signed up for 30 Days of Creativity on a whim. A total whim. Because it sounded like fun. And because I could–I’m on sabbatical. The 30 Days website says, “Your brain is like a muscle. When you exercise it, it gets stronger.” One of their signs says, “Through creativity, we can…
Today I made a yarn-decorated picture frame. It’s actually an example for a children’s craft and I had a lot of fun playing with the yarn! Grace’s creation is a unicorn horn. It is, of course, a magic horn that can change anything into anything else. (We’re thinking of converting the backyard into a swimming…
First, here is Grace’s name tag from day 2–recovered from school today: And for day 4 of the 30 days of creativity challenge, Grace made masks! My creation today was inspired by some beautiful envelopes I bought at a craft fair last year from the lovely ladies at EcoChique Boutique. They are made from magazine…
Grace and I are on our third day of the 30 Days of Creativity challenge. The good news for you is that it does not officially start until June, so you still have time to sign up yourself! Today, Grace made a fish pond game (with a little bit of help) and I made a…
Here is my humble offering for this weekend’s Memorial Day observance. You might recognize a passage from Isaiah 2:4-5 towards the end of the prayer. I have not formatted this as a responsive reading, but that could be easily done. Blessings to you in your life and worship this week. (If you are looking for…
This bubble wand was super easy to make and so much fun to play with. I love the way the wire-wrapped side makes cluster bubbles! Grace gets the photo credits for the bottom two photos. (Notice the bubble in the top left of the tree picture.) She made a name tag this morning, but left…
My 7-year-old, Grace, wants to join me in 30 days of creativity. Today she finished this house she was making for her little bitty stuffed dog. Inside you will see a bed, a table and chairs, a bathroom with a towel, a pantry and a sink. That lucky little dog!
Creative blogger Dianne Faw clued me in to a fabulous project called “30 days of Creativity.” Those who sign on pledge to create something new every day for 30 days in a row. And I thought . . . well, what’s a sabbatical for? So I signed on! The catch is that the project is…
There is something about color that energizes me. Something about applying the color inside given boundaries that soothes my mind. So our prayer practice for this week is coloring mandalas. You can pray in many ways as you color: repeat scripture or a prayer phrase, allow your mind to wander around the thoughts that God…
