Simple Woman and Lots of Chatter

The Simple Woman’s Daybook

FOR TODAY August 11, 2011


Outside My Window...it is dark but I can hear the crickets chiping and hear the wind softly blowing.  It was a wonderful, summer day.

I am thinking...that I will be here alone for the weekend.  I have some shopping in mind.


I am thankful for...the time I'll have alone.  Haven't had that since I was single 18 years ago.



From the kitchen...the sound and smell of popcorn is in the air. Tim and the kids are watching movies or tv.



I am wearing...t-shirt, shorts and shoes..........worked a work and can't wear flip-flops.



I am creating...cards for card ministry and cards for Summit Point, a residential facility for adults who are independent but have someone clean their apartment and cook for them.



I am going...to Hollos and a few other places tomorrow.



I am reading...the new book by Karen Kingsbury called Learning.



I am hoping...I can get all of my cards done for Card Ministry.



I am hearing...wonderful Christian music from my computer from a Christian station in California called, Air1


Around the house...it is quiet.  Annie the cat is waiting for me to go upstairs to bed.  She sleeps right next to me.



One of my favorite things...is eating and hanging out on our screened in porch.  Thanks Fred!

A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week:I am going to make cards with a friend Saturday.  I hope to catch up with a friend who is coming home from El Salvador after her missions trip.

Here is picture thought I am sharing... These two baby deer were waiting in the shade of the trees for their mama to return.  I stopped the van and snapped their picture.  A wonderful God moment for me.  I just love these little glimses of his handiwork just for me to see.  Thanks God.

Here is my card for the Ways to Use It challenge on SCS.  You had to make a card that was HOT.  Many people used a heat tool and embossed their card.  I chose to use this Plant Hope set.  It's new to me so I was experimenting with it tonight.  I stamped in artichoke then colored the tree in different colors of brown.  I used copics and a sponge to make the clouds and sea. I spritzed the background with Shimmer mist to make it sparkle like the beach and water sometimes do.

Patti and I made more progress today.  We got almost all of the boxes out of the classroom and things put into a cupboard, on a shelf, in a desk or on a cart.  We are taking tomorrow off and will be back at it on Monday.  Thanks God for helping us again today.

Prayers were answered in that the group from El Salvador that had their passports stolen, were given temporary passports and made it to their originally scheduled flight.  They should be home in the states by now.  Praise you Father for seeing to their needs and once again taking what Satan intended for evil and turning it to your glory.  You are so faithful and loving.  Thank you.

Blessings,
