By Request... Apple Recipe Pages!

Over the years I have received several emails asking about replacement
pages for the "God Bless Our Home" Recipe Binder that was sold primarily
in Costco and Sam's Club a few years ago.  I always had to reply with an
apology because there were no extra pages offered by the manufacturer.



Another version of the same binder was offered later... only with the saying:
"May the meals we share be sprinkled with love."

I've thought about creating filler pages before now... not sure why I haven't.
But I guess better late then never... eh?
The great thing about this design collection is that you don't have to own the
Recipe Binder to be able to use them! I've included several versions so you
can use them as recipe pages or as stationery... with or without lines! I also
offered full color designs, one option with a white border for printers that
don't print borderless, and two white centered options for using less ink!  I
kept thinking of other options... but decided I better quit or I'd never get
them finished!

So before I quit for today this collection of recipe pages will be is now
available in my Etsy shop as a digital download! 
Hope some of you who've been asking
for replacement pages will find them there and be blessed!

I also added them to my Zazzle store for those of you who cannot or do not
like to print yourself.  You can find them under the "Kitchen" tab.  And just
so you know, if you sign up for Zazzle's newsletter, they will let email you
with their sales which can be quite good sometimes!

So I hope at least a few of you are smiling right now.  I know I am.

Bless you my friends... and remember... you truly are
the Apple of God's Eye!

Blessed Be His Name...

If November has prompted you to count your blessings even more than
normal... I would love to add a few more blessings for you to ponder...
in His Name! 

Over the years, many of us have studied out the Names of Jesus and how
they portray the character and essence of Who He is and how He
wants to relate to us.  What I love about how He has communicated this
to us is that He uses descriptions that are very visual... that we can
understand and relate to from our ordinary and everyday lives...
and even moreso during the Christmas season!

That's why I'm delighted to be able to offer this art to you as a digital art
collection on Etsy. This art was originally painted and designed for my book,
The Heart and Home of Christmas, to inspire and encourage women,
like you and me, to celebrate the season in His Name...
to help us stay focused on the One we worship by looking for
the symbolism of Who He is in the sights and sounds of the holiday season.

 I hope this design will inspire you and even be a help to you as share the
love of Jesus through your cardmaking, crafting and creating this year!

Or...  if you would prefer your "Blessed Be His Name" Christmas Cards
to be already printed and delivered to your door... you can find them
in my Zazzle Store in two different formats with the option to customize
if you like... with your own verse and/or name!  Check it out.

May we glorify His Name together...
today and every day... throughout the holiday season!

Set Free now in Etsy...

Thank you all soooo much for all your sweet comments
on my newest painting, "Set Free."

I just added it to my Etsy shop!



And I wanted to show you what I've been up to lately...
I've been working on a couple of Baby Collections for my Zazzle Store.
This one is called "Baby Love" and I love the soft pink...
makes me want to borrow someone's baby girl to give some lovin' to!!


And this little "Roly Poly" just makes me smile! What can I say?  :-)

Don't you think they would make great themes for Baby Shower Parties? 
I started imagining little cellophane bags filled with candies with the little
tags ribbon-tied to each bag. And the stickers being used to make cupcake
toppers!  I'm thinking about designing the cupcake wrappers to go with them
but we'll see.  Oh so much fun I get to have designing products that will be
a blessing to celebrating life's special moments!


Right now, these two collections consist of Baby Shower Invitations and Party
Favor Stickers and Tags but I plan on adding more items to the collections in
the days to come!  If you know anyone who's in the planning stages of
celebrating a new baby or one on the way, I'd love it if you'd pass along the
link to them... thanks!

Rejoice in the Lord always! Again I say rejoice!
Philippians 4:4

So what are the special moments coming up in your life? Any celebrations?
Parties? Anniversaries? Birthdays?  Oh come on now... God gives us ample
opportunities to celebrate the life and blessings He's given to us...
and I'd love to hear about yours!!

Love and God-hugs...
