Falling apart.....most of the time my life feels this way. I believe it is not until you are tested in the furnace of life that you begin to see your flaws and weaknesses. My husband's cancer has taught me I am weak...I need to grow stronger. I am selfish....I need to think of others. I am tired.....I need to endure. I am a pessimist...I need optimism. I worry....I need to trust God. I am incomplete.....I need God to make me whole.
I am still a work in progress. I only hope I don't waste this opportunity that I have to grow.....
I finally got around to using this "Friendship Jar" stamp from "Paper Trey Ink" I have been wanting to play around with it for a while but wasn't sure what to fill it up with until I remembered that I have several buttons waiting for a perfect home :)
I also used scrunched seam binding from one of my favorite Etsy shops, Prairie Bird Boutique . Patsy is the shop owner and she sells tons of ribbon for a very reasonable price. I also have to say that her customer service is OUTSTANDING.
Well thanks for stopping by my little blog today. I wish you all a very happy week.
Love
Elizabeth
