A Sunny Monday

The sun was shining today.....even tho it was very cold. Just seeing the sun makes it seem warmer!

I just spent 2 hours surfing the web trying to find a pattern for an adult size crocodile costume......had already been to the fabric store and checked the books. No luck. You would think there would be one out there somewhere. Need to make a costume for hubby to wear for this years VBS. If anyone out there can point me in the direction of one I would be forever grateful!!!

Awesome Sunday

Leading a childrens ministry means that Sundays are a very busy day for me.....and I love it!!!! It was a great day with the kids. They are amazing.....challenging and full of the best questions.

We did a fun thing in snacks.....made snowmen to eat. Put 2 marshmallows on a stick....added freatures with Wilton food coloring pens, topped them with flat chocolate discs and a candy kiss. They loved making them and even more eating them!!! We had a dusting of snow today, so it was perfect timing.

Wishing all a wonderous week to come.

Papercrafting on a rainy Saturday

It is a rainy Sat. here and I have the day off, so decided to work on some paper crafting. I just finished my Valentines and the boxes for my church volunteers..........so what next. I pulled out a couplde packets for paper boxes by K & Company that I have had for a while and am having fun making the cute, cute paper boxes and purses. I am thinking these will be really fun Easter baskets to give with some fun candy inside. Thinking ahead!

I will be working on adding pictures as quickly as I can find time. I love the blogs that show you projects. I get so inspired by all that creativity!!

Off I go to work on them some more and do a wreath for the chapel at church..........so many projects, so little time......

I have been playing with this site and see I have a long way to go, but........I will get there. I need to get in gear and work on some Valentine cards and the baby album for our first grandson due in February. Maybe I can get some things posted up here. All sorts of new challenges for me. I have not done that before. Well...........every great journey begins with a step........Barb
