2 Corinthians 5:17 – New Creation

I have been seeing some little signs of spring… pink blooms on trees, daffodils, warmer weather… I am so thankful to the Lord, who makes all things new!

A Verse for Valentine’s: 1 Peter 4:8

Love isn’t always easy, but unconditional love = choosing to love, no matter what. P.S. Mom – this bleeding heart flower was from your garden :).

Pinteresting Project: Valentine’s Day Votive Holders!

People close to me know that I am a big fan of Pinterest – I am there daily getting and sharing inspiration (PINspiration hehe). Here’s a little project I did the other day, inspired by this pin, on Pinterest.

The original crafter created a more permanent covering for her Valentine’s Day votive holders, but I simply wrapped tissue paper around the outside of one mason jar (topped with a pink polka dot scrap of fabric), and stuffed some inside the other jar. You might be thinking this would be a bit problematic as a votive holder, and you’d be right :). My secret? Battery operated tea-lights, a mom’s best friend! I popped three in each mason jar. The tiny jar had a real tea light inside, but I keep it away from all the tissue paper when lit. The decoration on the outside of that one is actually a cupcake wrapper :)!
