getting my craft on....

my little girl loves to craft.  i do too, however, i kind of stink at it.  i don't often have things on hand and each project usually ends up a disaster.  so yesterday when she asked me to do a craft with her i relied on pinterest to spark an idea.  

we had to improvise a bit, but i was thrilled with the product and proud of what she chose!

 we got some paper since we didn't have any blank canvas around the house:)  and each chose a bible verse to put on it.  we used letter stickers to write out the verse.



then we finger painted all over!!  i have to say, it was kind of fun to finger paint!  it had been a long time for this momma.  i believe we have had the same set of finger paints for 8 years.
 

this is mine in progress...well, actually done and just waiting to dry.  when the paint dries, you peel off the stickers and voila....
 
mine says:
act justly
love mercy
walk humbly

hers:
don't just pretend to love others.
love them.
hate (what) is wrong.
she left out what because she thought there wasn't enough space.  hate is wrong so it still works.  i thought they were kind of fun!  

you know what i loved most?  she grabbed her bible and opened right up to this verse and had it highlighted in her bible.  makes a momma's heart swell.  and if you know this girl at all, you know her heart truly is full of love for others.
 
and if you wonder about her hair.....a super cute idea for a way to get crazy curls in the morning.  wowzers she looked like a blond annie!

these are so cute!!!! i really love them and they look really easy. a friend of mine did this for a baby she was excpecting. she did his name in stickers then had his sisters do the painting on it. it turned out super sweet.

btw...i really miss you and E! did you know that?

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
