Sunday Blessings!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend! I just realized we are mid-way through August, amazing! I haven't been around Blogland much in August, though you should NOT have noticed much with my posts going up like clockwork! I love Blogger, when it's working properly!
I've been working like a mad woman, crafting my little heart out...but they're all for future posts! lol So the only thing I have to show you today is this little sliver of melon...isn't it cute?
Its a table favor for a picnic. Do you ever have 'thank you' picnics/parties? Gathering up all the people you want to thank for doing this or that....adding to your life in some way...I should have one every month!!!
Oooo, I think I just inspired myself! lol
I used my recently posted
fun technique to place my mini letters, easy peasy!
****on the homefront****
I've been catching up on my emails & have noticed a re-occurring statement/question, especially from other crafty homeschoolers, "how do you do it all?" Let me erase that illusion completely from your mind! I don't!
We live a crazy, "dysfunctional" life like everyone else I know! lol We have the messy house, the late dinners, the kids attached to their video games/laptops, the piles of clutter, dishes & laundry...actually, my laundry is caught up today! yay! I 'bark' at my kids to do their chores, pick up their clothes, finish their schoolwork, just like you do. But I also know, there will never be enough hours in a day, so why worry the day away or stress out about it! Yes, I know there are deadlines to meet, inside & outside the home, but I know the world will not come to an end if I mess up! Each day is a new opportunity to 'get it right'!!!
I will say, if you have joy & peace in your heart, life it is a lot easier! Our joy & peace come from knowing Jesus as our Lord & Savior! He is a constant presence in everything we do. There is a certain calmness that settles over you, when you know you are loved & cared for, that's the best way I can explain it. You just know everything will be alright!
Stepping down from the podium now...but if you needed a word of encouragement today, go ahead & take it!
{{hugs}}
I will try to share some specific time-saving tips & secrets in the days to come!
Thanks for stopping by today!
Praying peace, joy & much love over each of you!
Blessings!
