C R A Y O N A R T || unique

Every now and then i have a creative gene that flares up, so I go searching Pinterest...Ever since I saw this idea, I wanted to try it. So it was this afternoon's project. 😁 I added the word unique to this blog title because this project is unique. Some of you might not like it, but those who do, try it sometime and let me know how it turned out!


What you need:

• Canvas (any size will do)
• Crayola Crayons (they melt the best)
• Newspaper
• Hair dryer

Lay your newspaper down, peel the paper off your crayons, grab your hair dryer, and you are ready to roll!
Hold your crayons kind of caddy corner to the canvas, and blow the hair dryer on them till they start melting...they will then spritz all over the canvas. This is kind of a interesting explanation, but if you see my pictures, I think you can pull it off.

(Tiana is modeling for me, while i am behind the camera😃) You can use whatever colors you like....I used a bunch of different ones. Just keep doing what I first explained, and fill the canvas however you like. You could even stop with just a little bit of meltings, and write a quote, or a word, verse, draw a picture, whatever!

This is what my finished product looked like. I am not sure what I am going to do with it yet, I'll have to see if I can find the right place. 😃 Also, if you search "crayon art" on Google, many ideas will pop up. Have a great day, friends!

 

what we call life!

 I'm here on the blog today will a "what we call life" post!

        We spent the morning at the Keystone Farm Show the other week just walking around....

                                                Some of the cousin hood at Great Grandpa's funeral.

                                                              "We love gaps in the store shelves!!"

Anyone want a puppy? =) We have been doing a lot of puppy stuff these past weeks...they are 8 weeks old on Thursday!


That's all for now folks, enjoy the rainy day!

footprints in the sand || weekly encouragement

I just realized that I never did a weekly encouragement last week, so I will try to do two this week. Today I have a poem for you. I've always liked this poem, and this week my Great Grandpa died and this poem was in his funeral program. May you be encouraged...

.

a new year!

Good Afternoon Friends!  I hope you all had a great Christmas season & a wonderful start to your new year. For an encouragement this week, I am just going to share with you a verse and a few thoughts on the new year.

• “In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.”  Proverbs 16:9

You, as well as me, probably have plans this year that you are looking very forward to...it may be  different activities as well as some goals you want to accomplish! This verse in Proverbs shows us how we may have many plans, but God determines our steps. So I am challenging you this year, to just allow Jesus to work in your life and follow the plans He has for you. This year isn't going to always be easy, I am sure we will each go through trials, but through it all, God is faithful and I believe He is going to accomplish in each and every one of us what He wants done!
I like to think of it as writing a book. God just gave us a beautiful book that is completely empty and in it, each thing we do is going to be written down. Let's make it a good book and be a testimony and light for HIM!
