MERRY CHRISTMAS

I wanted to take a few minutes and make a post to show our tree this year.  

My nieces have decorated this tree.  Cortlynn is 12 and Cara 9.  They spent a lot of time getting it just right.  I think they did a fabulous job.  They had such a good time.  

So very sweet!  I love it when they get along and play nice.  Anyone who knows siblings knows that this is not an every day occasion.  I'm glad they came together to get this done.  

I also want to take a minute and ask for your prayers.  This has been a very difficult holiday season for the people in our church.  There have been many deaths and such sorrow that I wanted to ask you for a general prayer to reach out to those who are in need.  So many people find this to be a hard time of year and I would like to remember them in our prayers.

I hope you have a blessed Christmas and remember the reason behind it.  The birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated this time of year.  He is our Savior and Redeemer.  I pray that He is in your up-most thoughts and actions.  It's not about shopping and how much you spend.  It's about His love for us and being with our families. 

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

FABULOUS GIVEAWAY

Hi all!  I have a fabulous candy giveaway to tell you about.  Chriss from Scrappin' with Chriss and Lou is giving away this 

WOW!  So many wonderful items.

Chriss also is in need of your prayers.  She has Meniere's disease which is a chronic condition that affects your inner ear and causes severe vertigo.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Take care and thanks for your prayers.

CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN

Welcome to another fortnightly challenge at 

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN

We are sponsored by Dilly Beans

 

 Our challenge this time is "Calendars/Countdown".  I chose "Amalia's Christmas Present".  She is colored with Copic markers and some Stickles.  I love me some sparkle.  I used a Spellbinder's die cut, flourish from Want 2 Scrap, snowflake from Jolee's Boutique, papers from Papercraft Inspirations, Bazzill and some generic, and finally an embossing folder from Darice.  The calender was done on Word.
