Overflow


1 Corinthians 2:11-13 11For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.

I'm truely full to overflowing......gushing today. Beautiful day here! The ARt journal page from this past weekend says it nicely........and oh my this beautiful thoughtful gift from JackSONGirl in Arkansas. Thankyou so much dear friend! Being a good reciever today. Sprinkling it out on you too!! Go on now, up to the table........freely He gives to His darling girls!

Welcome my Friends~ to Humble Pie!











I hope you will enjoy a peek into my space! I look forward to so many or yours as well at Karen's party here this weekend! This room is an upstairs bedroom reclaimed after two of my four daughters have rotated through it. It is a room that has deep and redeeming meaning to me personally and has saved me, and I have saved it~ and so continues to daily. It is a colorful, happy spot for me and I hope a little fun for you today too! Thanks for stopping by!
XO Cherie Wilson PS~ please scroll down for more!










Some of my key inspiration spots are my paper stash right next to my work table (top) and the great wallpaper stash out and close by under the old signmakers work table. I love my pink tree with felt ornaments from a special swap I was in with artists I adore. Last but not least the gate I purchased two years ago while attending Silver Bella and those sweet friends who helped me carry it across town in the rain and haul it home:)












































My Faith, love for color and everything vintage comes out all over my art room. It's good care envelopes me just like music, which sometimes I play, and sometimes I work in silence.


And last but not least, my constant support Trueman. xo

My love affair with ARt Journaling continues












Just wanted to share some pictures of an online class that I have been doing these past couple of weeks from here ........not near finished, but you will get the idea. I signed up for this some time back and recently got the courage to try it:) I love the happy colors and want to send them out to you this Sunny Summer day! Stay tuned for those art room pictures coming up next for a fun weekend of Karen Valentines wonderful art space inspiration. Love!

Thought for the weekend


In case you didn't see Sue's version of this a few posts ago~ check her's out as well. For now, I thought I would show you mine!

A good friend of mine and Christian Counselor commented that this is the number one problem that she sees in her office~ not her quote, but basically what she was saying. I find this to be true with myself, so when I heard this a few months back, I began to try to stay alert to the fact.........assumption kills! ....Relationships, our dreams, our very lives! And when you think about it, our wrong thought process (with assumption) usually starts out with the word "they"....... what we assume about others is a killer!! We truely don't know about "they"~ Not even some of our dear friends, even siblings! They don't know your internal full story either. So then, what do we do when others are assuming things about us too? We remember our confidence in who we are, in what we know and how we've grown and what we've worked hard for and continue to that other's might not see. Don't look around and ask for it either~ other's opinions of me are not my strength, nor yours. And maybe you looked past the word's ASSUMPTUON KILLS in the picture above and saw one of my very favorites.......Jeremiah 29:11. And back to that Sweet Sue ~ she reminded me of that truth that I only play to "an audience of one". I love to think about the fact that God knows me full well and never ever has to assume anything about me and has great plans for me even! You too!
Such peace! I hope that for you too today, and all weekend long girlfriends! XO

Today........




Today, i was an artful soul....aaaaahhhhhhh.......and this is one of the fun experiments I formed. This is an idea for Lola Rue and her art class for girls..........details to follow. Doodle page was the idea Lisa has..........for me, this is doodle page today. I can see adding lots more doodles.....maybe a canvas bag, or board..........oh the possibilities are endless. Inspired by my teenage friends, I am sure:) Having a lot of fun with Pink and Green today too. My range of color and ideas just soared today. So grateful for these play days. I do hope your weekend is playful, my friends!
XOXOXO
