Ok, last chance for the Month

Ok, last chance for the month.

I'm going to make it easy on you. 

Make a layout about how much you want to play with the Twitterpatted line from Rusty Pickle.  Check out the chefs that post at 2 peas and lift one of their designs.  Make sure you link to their design also.

You have 48 hours from now.  Link it in my blog.

Have fun!

A Free Country

I read an awesome post by the wonderful Cheryl Manz about Christian Persecution and it made me think about how free we are in this country.  We are so blessed to have the freedom to worship our God, without fearing death.

But on the other hand, living in a free country, we still fear persecution.  Not death, like in other countries, but we do fear what others think of us.  Like standing up for what we believe in our work place.  Like raising our arms in praise when we have brought an unsaved friend to church.  Like yelling out your Love for Jesus, in a Church that also loves that same Jesus.

So, why do we fear what others think so much?  Why do we give in to peer pressure, and not stand up for the things we truly believe?

I'm not just talking to those of you that read my blog, but im talking to myself also.  There are areas in my Christian Life in which I am weak..........But on this day, I take a stand.  I am standing for Truth, For what is right in this world, for the fact that I live in a free country and for Jesus, who saved me and set me free.

Jesus is my Saviour!

Bless you all!

Another Chance??

Who would like another chance at a Rusty Pickle RAK from the new Twitterpatted line??

I'm sure some of you would!

So, I have 2 questions for you to answer......first one to get the both right, gets a RAK!

1.  How did Rusty Pickle get their name??

2. What month and year did I start scrapping??

Look forward to seeing a winner soon!

"D"

Edited to say:  Yes Rusty Pickle did get its name from a Jar of pickles.  If you didnt read the story, you can check it out "The Story".

And I did make the other question a bit harder, but there were a few clues if you googled my name.......so most people had the year right.  But I wanted to see who would be persistant....

Persistance pays off, as the answer to how long I have been scrapping is April 2000.....SO BRIANNA is our winner!  Thanks all for playing.  There will be one more pack to give away in a couple of days!

Rusty Pickle give away

Inspired to play

I got an idea in my head a couple of days ago, and just had to try to get it out of my head and done.  I am pretty happy with the result.  Rusty Pickle Mini Album ( I love the size of these, they are so much fun) and Rusty Pickle Girly Girl rub-ons.  The rest is paint, and cardboard from a box insert from work.

Inspiration is so close....

I love to be inspired by art, by great artists.....so I thought I would share some of them with you.

My first link, I am kind of excited about.  My friend Carol Wingert now has a BLOG.  If you dont know Carol, check her out.  She is an amazing artist, and has worked on a some of the DW series books by Autumn Leaves.  I am always inspired by her work, and by her as a person.

For the next link, you will have to wait...........till later today, as I will be LATE for work, if I dont scoot!
