Write It on Your Heart



Hi Everyone~
Today I received some amazing news--I just found out that I am a Ginger Gem on Gingersnap Creations!

I had submitted this piece in the contest--It's actually in my Etsy store. And it was chosen for their contest! Thank you to everyone at Gingersnaps!


* * *On Nov. 2, I will be having a week of creativity with a giveaway, tutorial, and "how-to's" to get your craft on for Christmas~I hope you'll join me for this event. I have art projects with instructions if you want to make them too!



* * *Then, the week before Thanksgiving, starting Nov. 14, I will have "A Week of Blessings." This is not about me--it's about all of YOU. I am hoping that you will come over and tell a story about either the blessings in your life--or a miracle that has happened to you. I have had a lot of miracles, so I will have to think of one in particular to share.


"Write it on your heart that each day is the best day of the year"--Ralph Waldo Emerson

* * *I have created these Gratitude Journals with graphics from Dezinaworld and other embellishments. They are available in my Etsy store for under $10. I thought they would make perfect journals to write blessings in.

* * *UPDATE: WE JUST GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AND MY HUSBAND HAD THE SURGERY--PLEASE, STILL NEEDING YOUR PRAYERS!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

In the meantime, if you are in need of headers or blog buttons, feel free to write me as I will still check my mail at night and will be working from home.

Love,
Cindy

I just got home after leaving for work at 5:15AM...long day... I am SOOO excited for you! Congratulations on being a Ginger Gem...I think I am more of a Ginger SNAP myself!

It sounds like you have lots of things going on...I'll be praying for you and Ralph extra hard the next couple of days. Praying for God to guide the surgeon's hands and for Ralph to have a successful surgery...and for you to have peace in your heart as you ride this life wave.

Have a wonderful night, Cindy- xo Diana
