Another Year of VBS is Done

VBS is done for another year and it was a great success! The following pics are a brief overview of the event, and yes I know they are unedited but it was this or nothing :) Maybe next week there will be some more time...oh who am I kidding! Have a great day, blessings to you!

Busy, Busy Week!

This coming week is going to be monster busy! And today I so feel the need to take a week off from everything and just sleep, relax and actually take a time off so that you actually find yourself getting bored and looking for something to do. I'm not sure if i even remember the meaning of the word bored.

This week, like usual, is full of church activities and things to do. We have our annual VBS starting tonight and I am leading the singing again. I enjoy it so much, hence why I do a weekly Children's Choir. But believe it or not I find this type of ministry to be draining! Keeping the attention of all those children means you have to be vibrant, exciting, over the top and quick to switch things around and improvise. This is especially difficult when you are are tired and crabby. But it seems that God blesses my heart so tremendously that I would be loath to give any of it up.

This years VBS theme is Zoomazing Bible Adventures. The theme song is super catchy and I love the variation I came up with for If You're Happy and You Know It. Maybe that will be tomorrows post.

So the above means that there will be little time for any type of crafting this week. (I have made some wonderful photo collages that I am needing to get printed out and am very excited about scrapbooking those.)

So off to home, a quick shower because it is soooo humid here and then VBS; please pray for lots of children to come and for their hearts to be tender and open as well as for me as I lead the girls side in singing. Blessings to you!

Hello Blogland!

Wow, my very first blog post...have to admit it feels slightly awkward. I think that for this first post I would like to share with you my reasons for joining the the blogging world.

1. I wanted to create a place where my parents, who happen to live a three days drive from us, could come to and be a little more connected to the everyday things in our lives. We talk on the phone weekly, but somehow you always forget those little important things that are just everyday but important to family.
2. I enjoy creating. There is something very satisfactory about seeing a finished product that meets your expectations. Here in Blogland, I would like to share these creations. It also doesn't hurt that I would love to be a part of the scrapping world and be published... wouldn't that be exciting! Guess that means I do have to play the submission game huh?!

That basiacally sums it up. I would like to say this...I have been on many people's blogs and have been appalled at some of the things put into type. It is my mission to always be mindfull that the words I post here are going to be seen by anyone and everyone and can not be taken back. Like we were always taught, "If you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all." Hopefully I can be an encouragement to you.

Very soon you will see a bunch of posts featuring projects I have completed in the last few months. If you happen to swing by and say, "I think that was cased!" You are probably right. Many of my projects were inspired by others and unfortunatly being so new to this I may not remember where I cased a project from. So thank you for your inspiration and be assured that I will give credit to where credit is due with my future projects.
