Wordz of Life

Several years ago, God really impressed upon me how important spoken words are. They are powerful, think about, God SPOKE the world and nearly everything in it , into existence. The Bible tells us as Christians, that through Christ we have His authority as well, so it would stand to reason that the words we speak also carry a certain amout of weight and power. I am not talking about a "name it and claim it" type philosophy, God's will still prevails, but I am speaking of carefully choosing to speak life and blessings instead of complaints and curses. So, when I found Jeanette's Wordz of Life Etsy Shop, I was both reminded of these things and thrilled with her use of words. Her little snippets are all about life and blessings. I just had to have one for a friend of mine and I was blessed to have received one for myself too.

Aren't they precious? Wouldn't they make a great gift item for just about anyone, Pastor, babysitter, friend, sibling, grandparent? I have had the opportunity to visit with Jeanette via an Etsy thread and she is such a blessing! She is sweet and encouraging and just an absolute joy to do business with. Stop by he Etsy shop and tell her Cherry sent you!

Studio Space

So my new studio spce is just about complete. It is so awesome to have everything I use frequently all in one spot. No more searching in closets and digging through boxes. It's all right here and I am already loving it!




So do you have any
tips for getting organized?

I've been tagged by Rachel Kovaciny on her Hugermugger Blog to list 8 random things about myself. I have a few minutes so let's see what I can come up with.

1. I live about 3000 miles east of where I grew up but about 2000 miles west of where I was born.

2. My favorite anything (foods, colors, etc) changes with my mood. The only excepton is my favorite place to be and that is the Northern Cali Coast.

3. I am not working in the industry I went to school for.

4. I have the same number of children that my mother has.

5. I have the same number of brothers that my mother has.

6. Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is not my idea of fun.

Time to Cozy Up

Well, it's getting to be that time of year where there is a need to bundle up. It's even been quite chilly here in Texas but I hear it gets very cold in Chicago which is where a good friend of mine is moving too very soon. I wanted her to have a little going away gift, something to fit her personality and would be useful. So off on an Etsy adventure I went and these are what I found:
A gorgeous neck warmer and a wonderfully fun coffee cozy from Matic Studio. My friend loved them both, how could someone not, the yarm was so soft and , yes COZY! The beautiful rhinestone accent on the neck warmer gives it that little extra pizazz! My friend will look quite stylish when she gets to Chicago! And if you are the itsyist bit envious, go see all the other gorgeous selections to choose from at www.maticstudio.etsy.com . Leah, the shop owner, does exceptional work and is a joy to do business with, she is very helpful and super quick too. (I've ordered from her before, more gifts that were enthusiastically received by some more friends of mine.) Tell her Cherry sent you!

Pamper Yourself with Pumpkin

I had the pleasure recently of doing business with Donna of CBEssentials , one of my fellow Etsians. She sent me the most wonderful sampling of her products and I just had to share. My favorite (so far) is the Pumpkin Patch Glow Body Scrub . It smells absolutely yummy and left my skin feeling polished and satiny. What a great way to prepare your self for the busy holiday season. Oh, and her body creams are fabulous too!


I hope you will check out her Etsy store and tell her Cherry sent you!

Summer time

OH my, didn't realize the summer had gotten away from me. I have been busy busy with the kiddos and trying to squeeze some work time in too. I've been working on Jesus Holds the Key to My Heart necklaces and Crosses, some new wire rings, and then there are all these new ideas rolloing around in my head too. Take a peek:
