Always Blessings Around

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)

This comes to say a big thanks to Maria, my blogland friend, for her creative card, a unique moment captured on her camera that delighted my soul!

As well as her lovely newsletter, I might copy this idea and do something similar next year. Oops, you won't mind, will you Maria?

And to wish you all a wonderful New Year filled with blessings and contentment, and His mighty grace!

Happy New Year 2012!

A BIG THANKS TO SASKIA, my blogland friend I have also met in person, for her delicate and thoughtful gift sent for Christmas.


A BIG THANKS TO MARTA, my blogland friend, she has so kindly posted me a lovely Christmas gift.

A couple of projects and still continuing in the same way:

All the very best to you all,
God's blessing be upon you and your loved ones!

October sews

I have been inspired by some Christmas design and this is my October "harvest"

Joy to the world:

A partridge in a pear tree:

Wreaths and ribbons:

We are already in November and getting so close to Christmas, I can't wait.

Oh, just to show you my little grandaughter Olivia on her 2nd birthday, we had a party!!



Wishing you all a lovely week,
