Craft Show

I have always enjoyed going to craft shows; I just love looking at things people have made, and finding special gifts for friends and family that just can’t be bought at a retail store. Back in July, I really started wanting to make crafts; I quickly learned that crafting was very therapeutic for me. It was my way of escape, allowing me to focus on creating.

So…I made a few things, and was encouraged to continue to create more...so, In September, I got the grand idea of creating enough products for a craft show…now, this was not an easy, and always fun venture…my house was pretty chaotic…I didn’t want to take time to tuck everything away, and then haul it all out again the next night after work…so our kitchen table was pretty much covered with paper, fabric, glue guns, felt, tiles…ect. However, I pushed through, and we had our first show!

Last Saturday, Kel and I had a booth in the Believer’s Fellowship Craft Market. We had a wonderful time meeting other vendors, as we sold our products that we worked so hard to finish. The other vendors were so nice, we got lots of great tips, and were very encouraged through them. Here are a few pictures.

 

Will we do it again? YES. We will be a part of the Lanier Christmas Market on December 17,2011…Hope to see you there!!

One Year!

I can’t believe it's been a year since Kellen and I got married!

November 6, 2010

So we tried the top layer of our cake, it had been frozen for the year...Looks can be decieving, it was actually really good. I don't remember trying it on our wedding day, so Im really glad my mom saved it for us. :)

Ive leared a lot this past year. It’s been a year of adjustments…

-The first couple of months I had the hardest time sleeping; I wasn’t used to sharing a bed, especially with a boy!

- I have learned ans still learning that I have to rely on Christ and seek Him in knowing how to love and support my husband. (Media, and my expectations are pretty much always going to be unmet.)
-Im learning how to love unselfishly...only through Christ.

-I’ve learned that it’s a blessing to be able to share life with your best friend, and LOVE having someone to come home to.

-It’s been wonderful not to have to worry about having to find someone to fix small things around the house, or take care of the cars.

-I’ve learned that communication is hard…but, we are getting better at it. J

I think the biggest thing I have learned through marriage is that I have caught a small glimpse of God’s love through Kellen. See the thing is, I’m not the easiest person to live with, I get cranky, hurt, upset, tired, and my emotions can get a little out of hand. However, Killen’s love for me doesn’t waiver. It is constant. He has shown me unconditional love, when I least deserve it, much like Christ.

Kellen, thank you for showing me God’s love.
