June Bride

Katie, my oldest is the beautiful bride to be! It all takes place the first week of June, in case you wonder why I haven't blogged much since getting started! To Katies left is our second daughter Cassie, then daughter Carly to the right. Katie had such a good time at her shower at our house this past Sunday. Although it was windy, it was a great day to be outside. About 30 women~ women of worth in a huge circle around this patio.... for the "Display of His spendor". Women rule! I'm sure God loves men too and so do I, but it is great being a woman isn't it? Enjoy your womanhood today and celebrate!

What an honor to be invited into this sweet Spring Artist's swap!

It was fun this Spring to have 8 other ladies plus myself create our own ideas of a felt Spring tree ornament. This Artist swap was held by my new found friend and artist, Stacy McGinnis. Natalie Hansen too:) Although I had thought I was posting their pieces first, you will have to scroll down a bit to see them. As you can see I am not fully up on blogging. Thanks for your patience as I learn! The ornament with this post is mine~ LOVE LIFE being my inspiration for Spring.

I truely hope to inspire and share in life that we given as a gift from our Creator. I am privledged to have amazing people in my life who add beauty in many ways~ artistically and otherwise. Those that I am just doing life with! This ornament is inspired by them. Joyfully Enjoy this day you have been given! Love to YOU!!
