This just makes me happy to look at!!!

I just had to pick up this fabric at Wal-mart last night in my travels. I am a sucker for anything with Damask!!! It's black on a really nice heavy canvas type material. Good and sturdy!! I don't even know what I will do with it yet. I've thought of covering my scrapbooking chair with it, or maybe even doing a little altered scrapbooking art with it, similar to Donna Downey's little FABULOUS kit. For now, it's thrown over my chair making me quiet happy just to look at it. If I DO end up getting around to doing anything with it, you know I WILL POST IT!!

Sincerely,
Sonja

DON"T FORGET THE INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP RAK, BELOW!!!!!

Feline Friday

I was intending on posting this yesterday. Makes sense right, Feline FRIDAY. I was so wonderfully blessed to see how the Lord works, that I just had to share this. I have made a promise to pray for a lady I know everyday for the next year. ( Who couldn't use a little pick'me up, right?)I figured I would make a special card for her once a week. I incorporated the deck of cards that I have been seeing people do. SO I head to the dollar store to pick one up. I thought it would be nice to put a verse on the card too. So I found a deck with a cute little kitty cat on it. That's a no brainer, she loves kitties!!! "I'll take one of those!!" I said. Then I head of to the local scrap store, trying to find anything to do with cats for the cards I'll make over the next year. Now, I don't know anyone who doesn't love a good bargain!!! Well with all the new products coming in, they gotta get rid of some stuff right!? They have a 70% off section. Gotta love that, right?!!! So what do I find but a quiet a few goodies with kitty cat images, quotes, etc... I was so BLESSED!!! And if that weren't enough, they then took an additional 25% off!!! Are you seeing the blessing too? So now I think I have what I need to make all the cards. I don't know if I'll post every one that I do, but here's the first one and all the goodies I got from the 70% of section.
I love it when the Lord works things out so perfectly, and this isn't the first time. I know it won't be the last too!!

International Friendship RAK

Up first is a mystery RAK!!! That's right, I am not even going to tell you what it is!! The requirements for this RAK is to leave me a few lines in the comment section, and tell me the nicest thing one of your friends has ever done for you. (Since February is National Friendship month)

Friends are a dear part of our lives, wouldn't you agree!! Where would I be if I didn't have a few good friends to laugh with, cry with, pray with. What a blessed reminder it is to know we are not alone in the world! I would have a hard time picking just one moment in my life where I have been blessed by my friends. But there are a few that stand out in my mind. I'll pick one and share my story with you when I pick and announce a winner. I'll pick a winner on Wednesday and announce it, and then get the goodies out to the winner.

Can't wait to read your stories!

Sincerely,
Sonja


"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
Friendship Day Quotes by: Bible: Ecclesiastes


A Prayer for a Friend

Dear Lord,
If I could only be,
Worthy of one wish from Thee.
I would not ask for wealth or fame--
For I have more in Jesus' Name;
I would nor ask for homes and lands--
My treasures lie in Jesus' hands;
I would not ask for health or food--
For thou dost give me all that's good;
But I would that I could see,
Just how the greatest friend to be
To one Thou'st given me to love,
Both here and in our Home above--
That, Lord, the love Thou hast given me
Might fill his life and soul, that he
Will never question, never fear,
My love for him is just veneer--
But man each time I clasp his hand,
Feel friendship true, and understand
That of Thy many gifts I see,
He is a precious one to me.
Amen
