Close to my Heart

Beginning August 1st I will be a consultant for Close to my Heart. I am super excited about this. I love the products! I have always wanted to be part of a papercrafting company, just didnt know who to go with. The thing that made me go this route, was the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge which is only available through them. It is a great cartridge!

And beginning on August 1st you can order the newest cricut cartridge that is exclusive to Close to my Heart, Artiste

So excited to get this one! I love making 3 dimensional items and this one has more! So many options! I also love that it has the cooridnating stamp sets that go with it, Just as the other one too.

So if your a follower of my blog and your wanting this new set, please order from me! :) Once I'm set up, I will have a link on my blog and I'm also setting up a facebook page just for this.

Feminism: Have you bought the lie?

Feminism is mixed up with the muddled idea

that women are free when they serve their employers

but slaves when they help their husbands."

Happy Mother's Day

Parenting is an experiment in radical grace and the work of every parent is to fully give to the child. And it’s the work of every child to fully forgive the parents... Perhaps there was something more powerful to experience than a perfect Mother: the wonder of a committed Mother who simply humbles herself. Ann voscamp

What is your Mother's Day Wish?

While listening to K-love, they were asking what is your mothers day wish? One lucky listening will recieve their wish. Well Itd be a miracle to get my mothers day wish, My wish is two fold, two wishes. One being that My daughters and I could get a generational picture with my mother and my granny. The other being that My mother, my granny and myself could share a lunch together and enjoy a cup of coffe talking, civilaly. Wouldnt that be grand, that we could sit together laugh and share. That my granny could remember her life and all the blessings she has. That my mother and I could smile at one another and we could share in lifes moments together. That my granny could complain about my papa, and we laugh. To see her shake her booty on the dance floor and smile. To just love one another. My granny has alzhimiers and my mother is distant cause I love God. I love these two women so much.

I have a Mother's Day wish, only wish I could be the "lucky" one to get my mothers day wish.
