Prayer Journal

Here is a fun and beautiful prayer journal I recently added to MY ETSY SHOP.

I've been trying to use up some older stashes of paper. I love this series from Chatterbox. I've probably had it for 6 years or more!

Scripture stamps are from Clear Dollar Stamps.

Thanks for looking today!

Jonah Time!!

Whoo hoo! This Thursday I am leaving for my bi-annual scrapbooking retreat at Camp Jonah!

3 days and 3 nights of glorious paper crafting bliss! An 8 foot table all to myself, home cooked meals, amazing women all in a beautiful Christian atmosphere. I'm telling you ladies ~ there is NOTHING better!! This will be my 5th retreat and I am so excited. This (I believe) will also be the biggest scrapbooking retreat ~ 60 ladies attending! SA WEET!!

Our theme this fall is Blessings. Beki Duke has put together three devotionals, one for each morning and what a beautiful perspective they will bring us. Yes, I got to have a peek at them already! ;) I love how it's not about what kinds of blessings we have been given like material things, but rather how God uses our circumstances to bless us. And what a blessing it is to TRUST in Him. Love it!

I am so excited to see all the familiar faces again and lots of new ones to meet. It is gonna be another beautiful retreat!

Here is a peek at something all of the ladies and staffies will be getting this weekend!


Hee hee hee! Camp Jonah here I come! ;)

Taylored Expressions Blog Hop

This month's theme is Birthday / Birth day. In honor of Taylor having her first baby anytime now! As I have been in the 'back to school' mode, I thought I'd do a teacher's birthday card.

I used TE's 'Extra Credit' stamp set and CTMH's paper. I think they make a great pair!


I don't know about you, but I am so enjoying my kiddo's going back to school. The last two weeks I've just been trying to figure out my new schedule and getting two to three mornings to myself is like a new world! ;) Hopefully I'll be better about adding new creations to my blog to share! ;)

Thanks for popping by today and here's the list of all the participants in this months TE blog hop!






Have a very blessed day!
