I woke up to this desk.
It's the cleanest it's been since I started WOYWWing!
But that's because I dumped everything in a basket!

Yesterday I was carving stamps to use in a workshop
this Saturday, using some old erasers.
If you're wondering about the paper
I used to gather the rubber scraps,
it's a list of our menu for the New Year holidays.
That's how long I save paper!

Here are what I've done so far.

Some backgrounds I've tried it on.
I like making stamps out of erasers
but sometimes I get really sleepy
and it's dangerous to nod off
with a sharp blade in your hand.
My husband told me to go to sleep!!!
"I came into the world as light,
so that everyone who believes in me
might not remain in darkness." John 12:46
Thank you Lord, that my personal journey with you,
(more like an adventure!)
IS filled with light!
I am surrounded by joy, peace, love...
sounds like an ideal life, doesn't it?
I have my share of challenges,
mostly health issues, like PV, PE, DVT
and Thalassemia.

But because I believe in Jesus,
I live in the light of His presence.
Jesus reassures us that when we know Him,
when we are His sheep,
"No one can take you out of my hand."
John 10:28
Thus I am confident that any trial I undergo,
any challenge I have to hurdle,
is all going to make me
into the best Patsy I can be!!!
Just as He's committed to making you
the best (your name here) you can be!!!!
Every week I choose one wonderful visitor
who leaves a comment
to receive an ATC from me.
I know it takes so much time and effort
to leave a comment
and I appreciate it soooo much!
This week,
Random.org chose

Blessings!

Your words and your art bless each time I stop by!
ReplyDeleteWow friend. I get jealous, every time I come here, for the amount of time you have to create. One of these days I need to sit down again and paint. LOVE the idea of using erasers as stamps :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking desk. Love the stamps you are carving and your paintings are awesome as usually.. So inspiring. Hope you have a great week and thanks for sharing. I forgot it was even Wednesday until 11:50pm CDT! so I am a little late getting around. OMG! Memory issues again. Oh well better late then never. Vickie #145
ReplyDeleteWow you have patience to carve out stamps from rubber, way to go
ReplyDeleteBridget #38
Love the carved stamps! I like what you have done some far. I need to remember and pull out some of my favorites that I have carved and start using them again.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I know the dump in a basket trick! I've done it many times...trouble is that it never comes back out the basket and then I start a new pile and eventually all of that stuff gets dumped in a basket. Then I end up with lots of baskets and have to do a major cleanup!!

Your work is beautiful. Thank you for sharing in community with us at #TellHisStory.
ReplyDeleteHi Patsy....It's so funny to hear that your hubby had to tell you to go to sleep. I get that too and I had one day where I stayed in the Craft table for 18 hours just because I am in a deadline with regards to my DT project. There's times I would fall asleep in front of the computer or sit down at the sofa and fall asleep there. Who says that the life of a Crafter is easy...LOL Anyway, I am amazed at those erasers your shaping as a stamp. That leaf is awesome and so as your ATC...Great job! Thanks for blessing us with your awesome project this week at Word Art Wednesday. Hugs always!
