Hello my friends! So sorry I wasn't here last week...I was off to Oregon visiting my grandson who turned 5! I do wish time would slow down!!!

He went high flying for his birthday! He was so brave!

Jhett and Mama all suited up!

Ok, so onto the task for today! 

How does my word of the month relate to my word of the year?

My word of the year is Bloom...

I am determined to make this year my best year ever...why? well cause I am not getting any younger and I have so much more in my life I want to do and accomplish. So, I am deciding the no one or nothing is going to stop me! 

I am working each and every day to not be weak or uncertain and I am determined to get things done that I want to do.

In doing all this I will Bloom into the person God wants me to be and reap the benefits from my hard work.

One area I am determined in is to use my scrap stash of pattern papers to create cards. Here is where I am showcasing those cards. 

I completed a very simple one tonight but it will serve as a masculine Valentine's Day card when I deliver cards to the Nursing Homes. Even though I only completed 1 card, I have everything prepped to finish up 8 more cards which will be done before the end of this month!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Encouraging Words: My Word of the Month

 Hi Everyone! So happy to be back for my regular Saturday blog post! So today, I start with a prompt....

What are some areas of my life I need to be determined?

• in my spiritual life
• with my cleaning habits (my craft room)
• my routines (meds, wellness, beauty)
• sending out cards
• planning
• getting outside

I also still need to stay determined with using my stash of paper, stamps, and supplies! 

I did not have time to complete a card for today cause I have spent the last 2 days working on destashing and making room in my craft room...it is a small bedroom and is filled to the brim with craft supplies! 

So, I did pull out a birthday card I made a while back to share with you today. Hope you enjoy and I will see you next Saturday!

Encouraging Words: Introducing My Word of the Month for January

 

Hello Everyone! 

Welcome to my regular Saturday blog post! I am embarking on this journey where I will have a word of the month and will have a blog series encompassing this concept. It is going to be fun doing this! Something I tried to do last year and did not complete. 

If you have been reading my blog this week then you know I am claiming this as my year! And that I am KICKING PROCRASTINATION TO THE CURB!

So here is my word for the month of January!

I am determined to get off on the right foot this month and set all the systems in place to have a successful year. 

This is one of the ways I plan to do this! So,  in moving forward on some of my crafty goals I will also have a card each week with this blog series to kind of go along with the word of the month.

Today, I made a birthday card for a February date. 

This card applies to my determination in a few different ways.

First, I am getting ahead on birthday cards and not waiting until the last minute.

Secondly, I am using things in my stash that have been there for a long time that have never been touched.

Lastly, I am able to use this card weekly to participate in a challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
