She wrote it all up so sweet,

and the rest of her new and wonderful blog.
I think you will love it.

Thanks Cindy!

I'm hookin' this up to Jan's

Boardwalk Bragfest

Thanks Jan, for giving us a place to brag. =)

Oh, and the tutorial for the Ps 139 jars is HERE
Enjoy!!
and be sure to let me know if you do one,
so I can show it off here!

Quick Post and a Treat for You

Since my back hurts too much to move furniture, I did a little crafting, and finished 6 Ps 139 jars yesterday and today.
My friend Vicky, at Granny's Attic, (she makes her own sweet jars) wanted to order one.
So, Vicky, and the rest of you too, here they are.
Chose which one (or ones) you want Vicky, and the rest are up for grabs. ($8.00 includes U.S. shipping).
These are all vintage jars, filled with sand, with Ps 139:17,18 printed on them. Vintage buttons made into lids, and simple trim. I think the Word itself should be the focus.

I have pics ready for the tutorial, just have to limit my time sitting here as it kills my arm and shoulder right now. I am hoping for Tuesday and join in on Tutorial Tuesday!!

Thanks for all your notes, sweet comments, and prayers. I am TRYING to rest and get over this! I have more furniture to move and a room to finish! =)


PS if you click on the pic once, and then click again, you can see them really big!

Thursday Goodies

Quick and easy:

I love Psalm 139:17,18.
(click on pic to read verse)
Here it is with a small jar of sand, music paper,
and verse printed from the computer.
All put together in a frame.
You could do it with any verse, and
just add something that will go with it,
or a personal treasure you enjoy.

Thrifty Treasure

Sorry this is sideways, and not done,
but, these books of prayers and sweet thoughts
is a great way to have verses already printed out for your art.
You can usually get them pretty cheap at sales, especially if
they have a tear or crayon scribble on a page or two.
A quarter or fifty cents for a bunch of verses is a pretty good deal.

I'll try to have one made up for Friday.
