happy monday

well missio dei has come and gone. there were tons of great artsy things made for the art auction. my pile of cards shrunk, which is a great thing because it means that a a bit more money was raised to go toward the building of a home for a family in need.
here are some of the cards i made for the art sale.

25 by 25 update
#11- start selling my handmade goodies: has been done, just need to keep it going

i just got back from sledding... pitch black + ice covered snow + two foot drop off = ouch!
time to warm up and get some sleep.

have a great week friends.

cards and candy

today was the kick off to Missio Dei which is an event that goes on at my college. they are having an art sale and i was asked to make cards to sell, all the proceeds are going to build a house where it is much needed. so of course i wanted to help out. here is a pile of the cards i made. when i have more time i'll post pics of the cards.


it was lots of fun making the cards. i'm excited to see them get sold, it will be the first time i've ever made something to sell and what better way to start selling some stuff then to have the money go to an amazing cause. so i guess this checks off one of my 25 by 25 goals. woo hoo!! only 24 more to go.

there is a wonderful giveaway over at Scrap it Girl!
amazing blog candy.
go check it out!

that is all for now.

welcome february

well yesterday was just a crazy day! it was wonderful to be greeted with a kiss of -43 from the winter air so early in the morning walking to class. i'm just very glad that it wasn't windy other wise it would have been unbearable. it just allows me to realize how blessed i am with a warm home, cozy clothes, and yummy soup!

after making the trek back from my classes to my cozy room, i was so blessed to have a little message in my room!

{lovely surprise}

{sweet message}

i keep asking who left it but no one seems to know or my dear friends are just not telling me. either way such a sweet little pick me up on a cold winters day. such a great way to warm my heart.

i also finished my surprise that i talked about here i will post pictures and the story that goes along with it later this week.

thanks for stopping by.
blessings
