TRUE LOVE is given every single day...

My late husband Mark and I would not place any pressure on one another for the Valentine holiday.  From the beginning of our marriage, Mark said, "Deb, if I am not loving you the other 364 days of the year, I certainly can't make up for it on Valentine's Day."  I so appreciated this as one of my love languages is "gifts" of service...not necessarily to myself but also to others.  As far as stuff goes, I just don't need more stuff to dust!!!  Anyway, I lost Mark to cancer back in 2006 and am so grateful for the habits of showing love we developed over those years prior.  Now, I am blessed to be remarried to a most amazing, loving and godly man whom I treasure and we have discussed this upcoming first Valentine's Day for us.  Again, no pressure...let us just be loving on each other and others every day!!!  No dusting involved!!!   I love you, Benjamin Todd Adkins!!!

Repurposing...

REPURPOSING...I am all about that!!!

But, some might think that some things aren't meant to be messed with!!!

I think though, everyone would agree the suitcase idea is pretty cool!!!

Old Treasure Boxes....

Creating to Honor the Father....

He gives the gifts, the talents!!!  Have FAITH today.....you can TRUST Him!!!

It all starts by laying "stuff" out.....hmmmm....

Sometimes, before the week is over, I have put in 45 to 50 plus hours at work.  Yeah, cuts into the creating time.  But, like many of you, there is something inside waiting to come out.  So, I just lay it out and look at it for awhile.  It just might grow into something....

Our uniqueness in our creating...

Sometimes, I think I should give it all up or focus on just one or two things and then I look at what I have already created and it makes me smile.....

Button Projects....

There is always a place for a button!!!  Yes??!!  :)
