GET ORGANIZED

 

 I have in my house 2 JUNK drawers. One is for pencils, tablets, paper clips, markers etc. The other drawer is for household items such as screw diver, pliers, batteries, Hooks, nails, keys etc. However they never stay organized, maybe that's why they are called JUNK  drawers. I open them up and everything that doesn't have a place gets dumped into one drawer or the other, ya know all those little annoying things that just appear on the counter. I LOVED this idea.. I'm going out this minute and buy me a silverware holder like this one, hopefully I can find one. FINALLY a place to put all the sunglasses and phone chargers!

HOLD ON TO YOUR FORK

  A woman who was nearing death, requested that she be buried with a fork in her hand. When asked why a fork, she went on to share that her favorite moment was when following a meal, she was reminded to ‘hold on to her fork’ which, of course, meant dessert was on its way.

She chose to be buried with a fork as a beautifully symbolic picture to those who would mourn her death that this world was not her home, but that the best was yet to come. Her view of eternity was so true … a place where even the best of this world would pale in comparison to what Heaven will offer.

I know it is easy to fear death or pain or hardship – especially when you just can’t seem to escape it – but please know that there is good to come for those who put their trust in God. Whatever your circumstance, whatever your current struggle, whatever your fear, know that not only is there hope of an eternal life with our Lord, but He also offers unexplainable peace, joy and comfort as we walk through trials here in this messy world.

Be encouraged and remember to hold on to your fork – the best is yet to come.

HAIR CLIPS

PROJECT FOR WHEN YOU HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO

I found this cute idea for little girl hair clips. Since I have tons of ribbon sititng around and a grand daughter who loves clips I thought I would make some clippies for her. These illustrations are from JONES DESIGNS

It was eaiser than taking my own pictures and down loading them etc etc.

Start with some hair clips, thin ribbon, scissors and fabric glue.

                                Cut the ribbon into 7 inch LENGHTS

I held the clip open backside-up and started the ribbon on the inside, wrapped it around the bottom, then wrapped the part of the clip where you squeeze, the top of the clip, and back inside to the middle.  Whew!  {Got that?}
