Mixed-Media Pictures.....having fun!!!

Spring almost officially here!!! in South Dakota!!!

It has just been a lllooooonnnnnngggggg winter here. We should never be surprised as far as South Dakotans go with the weather. It is what 95% of the conversations are about with the farmers and well, the other 5% comes with great variety!!! Now, we will have to worry about flooding issues, hoping the farmers will be able to get out in the fields and that basements won't get filled with water! In the midst of all that, always remembering God shows Himself through all of this and we choose every day how to handle it, how to perceive it and how we will let it affect our day!!!

I have so enjoyed reading others' blogs and seeing what everyone has been up to with the shows, spaces at flea markets and when you all share inside your craft rooms and family. I have been inspired and encouraged through some difficult stuff lately, so want to say thanks for that.

Looks like a great movie is coming out called "Soul Surfer" based on Bethany Hamilton's true life experience with a shark. Do not know if the movie will touch on how much she loves the Lord as she states in personal interviews. I hope it does.

Well, my 14 year old is needing my attention. Hope all is well outside of my little town of Redfield, South Dakota.....deb

Valentines Day coming up!!!!

It has been sooo long since sharing anything here. Hard to believe it is February and it has been a cold one!!! Interesting how so much of the nation has been swept up in this cold! We have lots to be thankful for in just being warm! Created some things for the upcoming holiday. I call them my Handmade Vintage Valentines. The backdrop is the reflectors for the old Christmas lights. I was putting things away earlier this week and found these reflectors in my hand and the wheels just started spinning! It is so fun when that happens. So, I have been busy with these and a few other things that I will share later. Have went off-line at home so am figuring out how to download from one of those memory sticks to get pictures here. Always learning.

Hope this finds everyone fine. Been doing a lot of reading as of late! Anyone read any of Ted Dekker's books? Great stories...mystery, intrigue with a spiritual underlining and thankfully, no swearing and unnecessary sex! Finish a book and feel well-fed...this is a good thing!!!

Take care and blessings this day.....deb

Ended on a great note!!!

So hard to believe that we are into 2011. I remember like yesterday when we were concerned about how everything was going to be once we entered the year 2000! A lot has happened in the 11 years since and I wouldn't begin to even try to recap for you! Just didn't get our picture sent out for the Holidays so here we are minus Melody. Am giving you both as you can see either Joe looks like someone just gave him a wedgy or Isaac is being goofy. Josh is in the gray shirt, Jacob in the blue, Jenae with her fabulous hair is behind her dad. I in my flannel....forever in flannel and blue jeans!!! May the Lord richly bless you in Spirit and in Truth for 2011....
