So this is going to be a rather long post and hopefully you will enjoy! I thought a long time about telling this, but decided that if I thought it was nice maybe you would too. It started at Christmas, I got a book from another 'Linda' that has been a friend since kindergarten! How many of us can say that and how wonderful that really is since we are 2000 miles apart. Let me insert here that yes, I have 3 friends named Linda! So Linda from Iowa sent me a book that just wasn't of interest to me. I like Follet, Grisham, Flynn and mysteries or biographies. This book is by Debbie Mac Comber, a romantic novelist. OK. With Lindas, glowing account, I decided to read One Simple Act. http://www.debbiemacomber.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=nnp&pageID=274 Here you can read the forward and some short excerpts from the book. I was going to send the Amazon link, but this is the one that came up, so you can really get a feel for it.
I immediately wanted Friday girls to have one each. So I went to buy them at Amazon. Decided to check out Barnes & Noble. One was $7.99 and as I was taking it to the checkout, I found the 75% off table! They were $4.98. I bought several. I even mailed one to my 16 year old Grandson. He usually reads war stories, yep, really complicated American history. Anyway, what is the chances of me finding this book at a discount in a big store? In the book we talk about Gods 'nudges'. I believe that this was one of them.So, I told a friend about the book. She got one AND put one on her kindle. Now she has bought more and sent them to her sisters-in-law.
These are from Just Rite botanical stamp set. I mentioned my addiction to these stamps before! So pretty. The 'Faith' scripture is from Create with TLC.
They are digital images. I photoshop the size and put 3 on a page so I can use my spellbinders labels. http://createwithtlc-createwithtlc.blogspot.com/ Here is her link. Perfect for this. Also the wood mounted scripture stamps from Our Daily Bread design are wonderful. http://www.ourdailybreaddesigns.com/index.html
Look for our Altered journal page next!
Oh the cards, these could be some of Gods nudges too. We've done cards for the nursing home for about 7 years now. Usually just Christmas cards. I have lots of pretty embellishments that just need to be on cards that could lift a spirit. So with my many scripture stamps and glittery paper, flowers, ribbons and jewels I am going to try a church ministry. My goal is 100 cards.... we'll see, then I'll try to fill a need. Now that I said all this I am committed!
