Shutter Signs on My Shutter Wall

I had bought several shutters at the Habitat ReStore several months ago…

@ $2.00 each.

Not knowing what I would do with them…

they sat in a closet all spring/summer/fall long!

But finally a breakthrough.

Soooo…

I painted three of them white.

Hung Faith, Hope, Love signs (from Hobby Lobby) on them using hemp string.

Added some sprigs of fresh cedar, some hand picked pine cones from the woods,

and some fake berry stems.

Arranged them over my farm table bench I made last year.

Now, I have a my version of shutter signs on a shutter wall!

What do ya think?

AND

Just want to say…

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Praying you have some FAITH~HOPE~LOVE this holiday season!

1 Corinthians 13:13

(And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.)

Who Wants To Go Back to the Garden of Eden?

 

ME… that’s who!

Do I have something to share with you…

It’s a film… yes, a film.

(Back to Eden Film)

I know some of you either have land, farm or a garden

or want to have land, farm or a garden (like me!)

Well… you should watch this documentary.

A few days ago, Sharon (a friend from my blog),

who shares “THE DREAM” with me…emailed me a link to this film.

It’s about gardening… but SO much more!

God showed the gardener in this film (Paul) how to grow a self sustaining garden…

like the Garden of Eden!

It is a wonderful testimony of God showing Paul

how to grow beautiful, great tasting food

WITHOUT all the tilling, irrigation, commercial fertilization, and weeding.

WITHOUT the toil of maintaining it!

Just like the Garden of Eden.

WOW!

OK

so look at those Garlic cloves… they’re HUGE!

All of the produce grown here are big and full of juice!

Well…

It blew me away on so many levels and I hope it does you!!

 

Here is a trailer for the film to show you a snippet of it.

BELOW IS THE LINK TO THE FILM ONLINE:

And please…

if you watch it or have watched it… let me know if it “moved” you… like it did me!

Thanks For Stopping By!

 

Hello Friends and Hello Fall!

 

Hi Everybody!  Hope you all had a wonderful summer!

I know I did.  It’s been awhile since I posted and just wanted to check in and say Hi!

Is anybody out there?  Anyone? 

“Crickets chirping”… lol!

Well, let’s see… in my last post I had begun planting flowers in the front yard back in May.

 

I know most of us experienced a severe drought this summer.

It was terrible!

However… with… what I believe was the hand of God (yes… I believe He blesses our land and our efforts)

… and with some effort on my part… my flowers survived!!

There were many days of struggle… but they made it!

Yay!

(NOTE:  I use annual Impatiens BUT if you wait ‘til they form their seed pods and bust them open…

you will get a variety of colors that come back the next year… as pictured above by the tree)

SOOOoooo…

what did I do this summer?

Swim for the most part.

We are blessed to live in a neighborhood that has a pool!

There was some definite family time spent there this summer.

As for creativity?

I used none… or had none… or there was none… you get the picture. 

So, I have nothing new to share on that note.

As for time with the Lord… there was much of that… and still is.

I started out reading some of these.

BUT… ended up reading more of this…

I have been “in” my bible most of the summer…

reading, seeking, listening, doing and being renewed!

And now it is … FALL… Ok not really but …it FEELS like it!

Do you know what the temp is RIGHT NOW …here at my house at 10:30 in the morning?

58!!!  Yes… 58!! Oh… and breezy!  The high is suppose to be 73ish.  Ahhh… feels Great!

And now…

for the finale of this post…

DRUMROLL….  BDDddddddddd…..

Do you know what I recently discovered?

Yes… Chai Latte Creamer! YUM!

Wow… I’m usually a French Vanilla kinda girl when it comes to coffee…

but this creamer has rocked my world!!

YUM and YUM and YUM again… or at least I think so!

Ok… well…

that sums up the summer for me.

Thanks to all those who checked in on me and wrote to me this summer…

I loved hearing from you!!

I will be honest… I STILL don’t know how much I will be blogging for the rest of the year.

I feel the Lord moving in my life and want to remain open to what he has for me to do.

But thanks for hanging in there  with me

and I hope to continue to be creatively ambitious… in some way!!
