A Lil Birdie told me

Is this the Tweetest lil hand-made box you have ever seen??

See the gorgeous paper detailing.  The pearls, the cut out bird and branch, the ribbon.

Now...look at the eye candy inside!!

And the gorgeous pink bottom of the box.  Love it!!

I got this precious gift from Bella the Owl who I swapped with this past Spring.  She lives in Australia and I send blessings to her and her Mom who helped her make this gift.  Her Mom works with Stampin'Up. 

God schooled me thru Bella's gift!!  She is a 13 year old girl with much love of the lord and much gifting and generosity of heart.  This is not nearly all she sent me all the way from Australia but this touches me the most.

God made a christian connection that we can call upon thru this swap.  Her Daddy was quickly in a terrible motorcycle accident with a bunch of his buddies after we met and I've been praying with her for him to be a great source of ministry to his buddies.  You just never know, Peeps..Whooooo God will use or bring you to to bless and be blessed by in turn.

Those pretty scrolls of paper are scriptures that I can open up and agree with the word of God for her family....my family...her country...my country, my children, her.  AMEN!!

Pink it is

Well, I finally told Ms. Beverly to put me down for a weekly Pink Saturday post.  I embarrased myself a few weeks ago and promised a post and did NOT deliver it.  Now...I'm gonna know that I know that there will be PINK on Saturdays. 



This sits above my head when I blog.  Cindy at Rick Rack and Gingham's daughter swapped with me last season and gave me the bunny.  I love how she's watering the seedlings so they'll BLOOM.

I'm wanting to hostess a Meme myself this Fall and hope it takes off.  So...I'm watering the idea by telling ya'll about my hopes:

Waste Not Want Not Wednesdays

or

Dumpster Dive'n Diva

this would be on Thursdays

??

We would show each other stuff that should have gone to the trash, we took out of the trash, we made from something that any other reasonable person would have trashed or did. :S

 

You can't tell it from the above shot but if you lift the cover of this paper pack that gorgeous scallop is cut out to reveal the 1st sheet of glittery paper.  I didn't even notice the 1st time or 2 that I saw it.  I'll make it into a Matte by trimming it off the cover and using it to scrapbook or embellish something.  I'll also look at all my paper punches and make scallops or squares or circles with that blue coverstock, until I've used it all except the advertising.  I make a lot of gift tags like this.

That is how I roll so I hope I'll touch some heartstring and get some fellow bloggers that roll like I do.  lol

No badge/poster/button finalized yet...still playin'.

Which of the 2 above posters comes close??

Go See Beverly!!



A Swap & A Hope

A Swap..

Happy Harvest sign,

Acorn S&P shaker,

there is a gorgeous leaf tray for these that is busted in 1/2. :(

Fall Leaves Kitchie towel

Sorry, it is already in use. lol

Debby LOVES acorns and leaves as much as I do!!

I participated in a Kitchie Swap with Cindy at RickRack & Gingham. She asked us to show our kitchie items on 9/17 so now I've done that. I got to meet Debby from Ohio at

 Cozy Blanket

Debby took a great shot of what I sent her.  I'm glad she'll love the crochet topped kitchie towel made by Doris Sturm at Crocheting in Georgia.    I won it from her blog and didn't have the heart to use it so I know Debby will use it and love it.  Doris says no one will use her awesome stuff because it is so cute.  Doris, I love you but you may be right....I have NOT used the bumblebee scrubby on any pots yet. :S

Fall is such a magical time of year. 

It is a Happy time!!

It is FAITH that the old will pass and new will come.  The dead in our lives, in our hearts will blow away and make room for what will come.

Thank you so much, Debby!!

Texas Fall Kitchie Hugs to ya.

And, thanks Cindy for always coming up with these great swap ideas.

A HOPE..

Youngest bought these for me &ft

also had this made for me..

There is hope that these boys will be great young men.

There is hope that my chronic illness is not making me totally fail as a MOM.

Hubby wants to turn Beagle Run Cottage into Beagle Run Court. 

We may be moving...boy, what that'll do to my blogging.  lol

We are hoping that it is not our imagination that God is about to bless us with a new home.

Hubby wants to have Youth group events and bible study fellowships and team parties and invite his Branch from NASA over at Christmas...

We'll see what happens.

Show n Tell Friday at My Romantic Home

Love to ya...DeniseMarie
