<br />
I have discovered that doodling which I have done most of my life (especially while talking on the phone) is actually an art. And I have discovered that I really enjoy doodling! I love paper. I love different writing instruments. So I am working on some doodling to create greeting cards, note cards & tags and having so much fun! <br />
<br />
My daughter, Wendy, and her husband are coming home this weekend and I am really excited. We will be celebrating her birthday with family & friends.<br />
<br />
My favorite verse this week is "Be still and know that I am God" Psalm 46:10. I have been consciously trying to do just that. Sometimes in all the hurry scurry of life I forget to listen. And God has really reminded me of that this week.<br />
<br />
He is also reminding me to trust Him with all my heart. And I do.<br />
<br />

I have prayed, "Lord, what do you want me to do here on Etsy?" <br />
<br />
After several weeks of going back & forth. Praying. It became clear that I needed to take my prayer & card ministry one step further. I have been involved with my card ministry for several years, purchasing cards from Lifeway most of the time. Many times wishing the wording was just a bit different for the situation where I was sending the card. So now I will be making my own cards to send to those people who God leads me to for encouragement.<br />
<br />
I am very excited to be able to share my line of cards & tags on Etsy while furthering my card ministry at the same time.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!<br />

Tropical Storm Isaac is churning it's way up towards the Panhandle of Florida but we are pressing on. My daughter, Wendy, is getting married on Saturday no matter where Isaac lands. And she will be beautiful.<br />
<br />
I am spending lots of time in my studio getting more pendants ready to list. As I look outside and ponder the results of Isaac on our community I am reminded that God is Always in charge and He will take care of us. That promise is so wonderful!<br />
<br />
I pray everyone is safe on this rainy Monday.kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08106342177068295130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595220930488216833.post-56831490241345006642012-08-26T18:46:00.001-07:002012-08-26T18:46:58.611-07:00Hello Everyone!<br />
<br />
After much thought & prayer I have decided to re-open my Etsy shop and feature my vintage map pendants. I took 9-10 months off from Etsy but I missed the Etsy community and the creativeness that I achieve with my pendants. <br />
<br />
I have several of my pendants from my previous inventory and I will soon be adding new pendants. <br />
<br />
I love custom orders! Let me know which place is your favorite for your pendant.<br />
<br />
Hugs to all my friends!kathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08106342177068295130noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595220930488216833.post-51558458878716517722011-11-20T16:07:00.000-08:002011-11-20T16:07:03.867-08:00ThanksgivingThanksgiving is my favorite holiday!

My summer vacation to Indiana & Tennessee (& Georgia) was great! Enjoyed some wonderful family time. Visited with my daughter, Wendy, in Georgia and was able to see her new place nestled in the mountains of Georgia.<br />
<br />
Fall is here with lots of exciting things happening. First Baptst Church has completed our New Welcome Center. Most of my family is now a year older with all of our birthdays happening in September.<br />
<br />
We will be spending Thanksgiving in Tennessee and Georgia. First year in quite some time spending it outside of Florida.<br />
<br />
We are waiting expectantly on the arrival of Beth's twins in early December and of course everyone is preparing for Christmas to celebrate the birth of our Savior.<br />
<br />
Lots of activities at the church for all!<br />
