You are Invited!

I complete this page a few minutes ago and couldn't wait to share it! The story about the page: yesterday I bought some stuff at Starbucks and they put it in a paper bag with the most amazing designs on it. So, I cut it out and scanned it and used in on this page. I am so happy how it turned out. You can view the whole page (with the products I used) HERE.

To all my dear American friends: happy and blessed thanksgiving tomorrow and have a wonderful rest of the week. Take a break and relax!

In our home we are in full swing with the homeschooling again. Getting back into routine is a big priority for me now. The girls are doing fantastic and we are eating up schoolwork like a silkworm eats mulberry leaves. It's a good thing!
Last but not least... I am in a super generous mood: Leave me a comment and I will post you a beautiful box of Making Memories Christmas goodies: papers and some embellishments. You will squeal with delight when you open the box.

This is how God sees you in Christ: Luke 1:27 (message) Good morning! You're beautiful with God's beauty, Beautiful inside and out! God be with you. That's such good news!


Peace to you!
