It is that time, the time when we say goodbye to the church we are working with. We say goodbye so often during the year, you would think we would be used to it. But nope! I like to give Thank You cards those special people who give up their time to help each evening. But to be honest, I dread writing them. I have at least 6 cards to write each seminar, usually more. Plus, I want them to be unique and heartfelt. I asked my husband for some advice on what to say in the cards this … [Read more...]
Blessing Cards
During our travels we meet so many great people. We get to know them in the four or five weeks we are working with their church, and then we have to leave.

We also went to Kohl’s this week and found a great Melissa & Doug craft – Decorate Your Own Piggybank on clearance for $3! It was well worth … [Read more...]
Photography Tips That Are Useful
I found this great parenting website that gives quick photography tips. The first one I read about is to use different camera angles. I am always trying to find ways to take better pictures of Isabella so I decided to try it. I think it turned out great! This one uses the tip to take a picture directly above the subject.
