VBS 2012

Next week is VBS here.  Our church is using Group VBS curriculum this summer and the theme is SKY (Everything is Possible with God).  I'm leading the crafts for the week and my good friend and I decided to add a prayer journal/God sighting's bit to crafts each day.  I've created a journal for each child that includes the bible point, verse, & story and a spot for prayers/God sightings.  The cover will have a photo of the child attached toward the end of the week.


I've added the links for you to use if you so desire.

Supplies needed to create:
A box of 9 x 6 folders - link to where we purchased ours... http://www.amazon.com/Smead-Recycled-Folders-Inches-20630/dp/B0006HV1CI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338494319&sr=8-1

8.5 x 11 labels - you can cut in half  to fit on each side of folder
Color printer

Maybe I'll get photos of the crafts we do each day this coming week to share once again.

Changes...

Hi...If you're still checking my blog and wondering where I've been...I've taken a break from the blog as I also stepped down from being an {ippity} chick.  I still have inventory and love to fullfill any order wish I can fill.  You can see all the sets still on my sales blog...however email me your wishlist or check my etsy shop.

I am thinking that I will continue to blog about my creative pursuits as time permits; but no promises.  Family and sanity comes first. ;-)

Growing in Unity - Day 2

Thanks for dropping by ...
Day 2 ....of Growing in Unity...


I just LOVE the new Phyllis Harris stamps!  I used the Your Wings Exist set.  Love the images and to make it all the better my favorite bible verse!

I love canvas....and my new gelatos too....
SO...hence my creation...a combo of many of my faves. 
(The image of the girl is a bit blurred...and I tried to make it clearer...but in the end ...even with clearer images...I came back to this on as my favorite.

(?Why? my favorite?  Because in the midst of a beautiful sunset or sunrise...with the wind blowing thru your hair...and you soaking in the glory of God....you fade...dream...blur out the frustrations of life and drink in the Lord's restful peace.) 


I would love to be YOUR {ippity} chick!!
