Cookie Swap 2013


This year I decided to have a Cookie Swap
at my house.  So I made these fun invitations to
invite my friends to it.....

 
And then I had them email me their
recipes so I could make these fun
little recipe books to give each of them.
 
 
 
 Here is the first page of the recipe book :)
 

 
Then I decided to decorate the kitchen before
everyone came.  The theme was "Aprons"

 
I draped aprons over each chair so the guests
could choose one to wear at the party if they
didn't own one.

 
I found these fun gift bags with the chevron
design for the guests to take their cookies
home in...

 
My husband was helping me clean and get
ready for the party.  He decided to take
a break to get a cup of coffee :)

 
The girls are going around the table to collect
their cookies to take home with them....

 
Here is a picture of the table with the goodies
on them...

 
And a picture of us at the party :)  My husband
took the picture for us.  My mom was kind enough
to make the aprons (with the aprons on them) for
my door prizes.


 
It was a lot of fun and we had a great
time visiting and hanging out.  I
hope you enjoyed seeing the pictures :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
