ABCs of Me
Google Friend Connect is disappearing soon, but I’d love for us to stay together. You can read my blog in your favorite reader through my RSS feed, join the conversation on Facebook or chat with me on Twitter. Make sure you give a shout out and let me know you’re there! Y’all know I love myself some memes. I think they’re fun and it gives me (and you) a chance to discover new blogs, find out interesting tidbits about other parts of the country (world) and, well, have some fun. So I said all of that to say, I’ve discovered a new meme (and a new blog) that I want…

Yarn Along
A few weeks ago, my friend, Mylynka from Finding Myself Fit by Forty, posted a picture of herself on Facebook wearing a scarf that I’d made for her so that I could see her in it, this led to a few of her other friends admiring the scarf and asking about it. After getting some introductions, one of Mylynka’s friends and I worked out a trade ~ a scarf in exchange for some soy candles… I’ve never bartered before but I’m pretty stoked about the idea of exchanging handmade products with someone. There really is something so comforting and, I dunno, homey about knowing that someone used their time and…

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge: White #NaBloPoMo
I know I said orange was difficult to find but let me tell you, white was darned near impossible. I mean I didn’t get desperate enough to wish for snow or anything but I did have to get creative with some eggs for a couple of shots and dip into my folder of old photographs for others. I took these pictures at the Cape Girardeau Conservation Center late last week. I love walking around the Conservation Center, it’s so beautiful and peaceful. I can’t wait to go there in the Spring and Summer when all of the flowers are in bloom and the butterfly gardens are alive with the flitter…

This or That Thursday #NaBloPoMo
This week has been spent learning how to use Nia, my new Nikon D3100. I have to admit, I was a bit intimidated by all the settings but the Guide setting has made it so easy to figure out what I’m doing. I’ve practiced using the Automatic, Guide and Manual settings and I’m pretty impressed with the quality of all of the photos, but I also see that I have a long way to go but here are a few of my shots from this week: My dog, Squeekerz… This was taken at my house using the flash and overhead lighting, I also used the Macro setting Night Scene I…

The air is crisp, the days are shorter and the colors have changed from deep rich greens to bold reds, deep oranges, golden yellows and sable browns… This is the season I love most because I can cuddle in my cozy sweaters, rock my boots, sip steaming cups of coffee and eat hearty soups.

Word Filled Wednesday: Walk in the Light of His Presence #NaBloPoMo
Matthew 10:32~33 32 Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. Wow! Those are probably two of the most powerful and most convicting scriptures in the Bible. How many times have I stood silently while people have used the Lord’s name in vain or made mockery of beliefs that I hold dear? Denying Christ doesn’t just come from saying “I don’t know the man” as Peter did in Mark 14:66~72, denial comes in allowing people to disrespect my faith. For the longest time, I used to just skip over comments…

Word Filled Wednesday: Your Light Will Break Forth
I started participating in the Word Filled Wednesday meme as a way to share my faith with others in the hopes that hearts would be touched and, perhaps, others will think about their relationship with Christ. I have accepted Christ as my personal savior and I believe that it is only through Him that we can receive the gift of eternal life. For more information on what I believe, click here. I’m linking up with Internet Cafe Devotions (click hereto learn more about ICD) for Word Filled Wednesday (click here to see this week’s edition). WFW is a way for participants to share the message of God’s love creatively using a photograph or graphic…

Yarn Along
1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. A friend of mine is dealing with cancer, so I’m making this scarf and flower pin set to show my support for her. Once I’m finished it will have 2 more flowers: one in solid pink and one in solid brown. With each stitch is a prayer for health and strength as she goes through this difficult time. I’m joining up with Ginny from small things for Yarn Along. To participate, all you have to do is take a picture…
