Paint Party Friday: Cornerstone

Really slow going on these two collages.

If you want to know why (bad bad girl!),

read my previous post! 

The top collage of the girl was made 

during our Crafternoon last Saturday. 

We had a lot of fun making backgrounds

using stamps, sprays, etc! 

Then we traced faces (an easy way to make

faces if you don't know how to draw!)

On my desk this morning,

I'm doing my journal.

Matthew 21:42 reads

"The stone that the builders rejected

has become the CORNERSTONE."

In ancient times, the cornerstone

was laid on the foundation to guide

where the other stones would go.

Christ is the cornerstone

and we need to LINE UP our lives

with His Word!

WOYWW: Do Small Things with Great Love!

My desk early this morning.

After working on my journal.

Do you spy the Ipad to the right?

I have been playing Sims Free Play

and it is seriously taking time from my painting!

It's like playing paper dolls-

only this time, the dolls move on their own

and need to go to the bathroom!!!

We had a Crafternoon last Saturday

with my sister and some friends. 

We did backgrounds and faces.

This is what I made so far.

The flowers and birds are from another project

and I am just trying it on here.

And since I like the idea,

I am making more flowers for her hair.

From yesterday's journal:

"The greatest among you

must be your servant."

Matthew 23:11

And from today's:

"The Son of Man did not come

to be served but to serve

and to give His life for the ransom 

of many."  Matthew 20:28

To be a good leader,

one must be a servant first.

Think Mother Teresa, 

who said:

"Not all of us can do great things,

but we can do small things

with great love."

Joining the lovely Julia for a 

peek at desks and projects!

 

I love blog parties!

A Good Measure, Overflowing!

Luke 6: 37-38

"Give and gifts will be given to you;

good measure, packed together,

shaken down and overflowing

will be poured into your lap.

For the measure with which you measure

will in turn be measured out to you."

If we are not generous with our 

time, talent and treasure,

we will be like the Dead Sea:

because it has no outlet, 

no water flows out of it,

it is so rich in minerals that 

no fish can live in it.

The water is so dense that 

one can float in it and not sink!

This is one reason why my sister Peggy and I

like sharing our joy in creating! 

We held a Crafternoon last Saturday

and enjoyed making backgrounds

and making faces!

Truly when we are generous with

what God has blessed us with,

our cups runneth over! 

I love blog parties!

Won't you join us?

Paint Party Friday: More Things

A couple of days ago,

I finished this,

using designs by my 

niece Elyse for her Fine Arts thesis.

And here is something I'm working on right now.

I'm having a lot of fun drawing birds and butterflies,

and flowers. Now what other insects or animals

can I include here to show the marvels

of God's creation?

On my journal today,

a verse from Psalm 130:

"I wait with longing for the Lord...

my soul waits for His Word."

I always start my day with prayer.

It makes me strong,

"More things are wrought by prayer

than this world dreams of."

(Alfred, Lord Tennyson)
