Coffee Anyone?



Can you tell school has begun again? Not posting daily but my heart is here. These are three cards that my daughter and I played around with a new background technique to us called Frosted Filters.
We followed the directions and got a mix of colors used. Then I tried the fan-fold look of tie-dye, and finally the crumpled up tie-dye with a rubber band around it and I added reinkers. I think my favorite is the crumpled up one with the peaceful wishes stem on it.
Anyway, I'm going to try to continue to to post as often as I can now that I'm back to teaching school. This year I have 4th and 5th graders with special needs. They are at least two years behind their peers in general education.
Stamping is my therapy....I've found this week that it's been tough to get stamping time in. I'm also finding it's hard to get my quiet time with God in. Have you ever been in that situation? Sometimes other things pull you away then you feel a distance. I am also feeling tired. I know some of it is working all day as opposed to stamping all day. LOL
Please continue to pray for me that I can make this adjustment to teaching again and that I can continue to battle the medical issues I have. Sometimes it's so hard to battle Satan and all of his lies. Please pray that I can continue to do just that.

Our God is big enough to handle all of this.

Sorry to hear you have medical issues Sue?! Your job is rather stressful to most... God brought you to stamping as your release and knew of all the good you would do and show through your joy of stamping. It appears to me with your most recent post your not only stamping, but keeping God close. God knows all about multi-tasking, don't you think?! Why not listen to some of the Christian channels or what not while stamping? I use my car time for doing just this, HOWEVER you should see my frustration when it gets all static during a good portion! *shakes head*

Hugs,
Anne :)
