Kayla's genius:

2009-11-11T12:21:00.002-06:00

My friend and co-teacher for the Christmas Class, Kayla Aimee, made this project as a freebie for you! She writes:

"I am absolutely covered in glitter. I've been making these Christmas trees out of old paperback books and I put together a tutorial to share with you! Check it out here if you are interested, they are cute, inexpensive and environmentally friendly! I really hope you like them. These vintage book pages are really showing up in my holiday decor this year: wreaths, trees, ornaments... it's very indicative of my scrapbooking style and I'm a crazy reader so it fits me well. Plus, if I decorated the house in Jeff's hobbies, I'd have to use tennis rackets and video games and I just can't make those into cute decor."

Isn't this cute? And it's just a taste of what you can expect from our Christmas class with a zillion projects!

A bit of good news today: Phil 2:13 [Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and delight.

Watch out for a special post/event on my blog tomorrow!
Much love

I heart with chocolate Sundays

2009-11-08T10:10:00.002-06:00

Wonderful, family-filled Sundays are the best! right? Just a quick post this morning to tell you about my new favorite Christmas Album. If you are looking for something deep and meaningful in Christmas music then I can recommend this album by Downhere. It's not typical, it's touching. The song "how many Kings" are one of my favorite. ever.

Lyrics to How Many Kings :
Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe, after all we've projected,
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero, wrapped in his mother's shawl -
Just a child -
Is this who we've waited for? 'cause...

How many kings step down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe.
Gold for his honor, and frankincense for his pleasure
And myrrh for the cross he will suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we've waited for?

All for me...
All for you...

Yippie!

Till tomorrow!

Back to work...

2009-11-03T19:18:00.004-06:00

After taking time out for travel and relaxing, it's back to work. I am already loving the routine just these 2 days! I have been getting emails with some exciting offers and now I am contemplating... considering the field, so to speak.
I have also been working non stop on something very exciting that Kayla Aimee and I have up our sleeve! You will not have to wait too long to find out. Only till Thursday! All I can say it's crafty and Christmas-ish. and beautiful. and fun. and creative! he-he. Sometimes with Christmas sneaking up on us, it's good to purposely embrace the season. and (sigh) the snow too.

Today, to get the seasonal excitement going, I want to give away a set of Making Memories Christmas foam stamps! Just leave me a comment.

As for some good news: I was reading Isa 55 last night and it's been staying with me all day today: "Hey there! All who are thirsty, come to the water! Are you penniless? Come anyway—buy and eat! Come, buy your drinks, buy wine and milk. Buy without money—everything's free! The good news is free! It doesn't cost anything! The Greek word for freedom, eleutherias, means without obligation! Also in James 1:25, the law of perfect liberty, is the law of spontaneity, without obligation! But sometimes this is so hard to believe. Yet, it's really THAT good!

Talk again soon!

down time.

2009-10-30T16:40:00.003-06:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom!!!
This has been a whirlwind week: U2 Concert in Vancouver on Wednesday. Jasper today and Edmonton tomorrow! Sunday we are going Home and I am sure the absolute urge I have for routine would come to pass then. Absolute craving. For routine. and the duller the better.
The Concert was more than I ever bargained for. Except for some tender ears. It was truly magnificent! When Bono sang Amazing Grace, I cried. and now I am a U2 fan till the end. with or without you. he-he.
I would LOVE to show you some pictures, but my (little) camera-mac cable is packed in somewhere. somewhere deep and unknown. But I can show you a picture of Jana and I goofing in the cold... this was taken by the Doctor on Tuesday near Lake Minnewanka, Banff. After all this time away from my girls I just want to hug them as much as possible.

A bit of good news on a cold Canadian day:
Francois writes: ‘If you continue in My word, you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free; and whom the son sets free, is free indeed.’ John 8:32,36. The word of Jesus is so much more than the red-letter edition Bible; it is everything that God spoke to mankind in Christ. Heb.1:1-3. Son-ship sets you free! The revelation that the son of man is in fact the Son of God is fundamental to the message of the gospel. Mathew 16:13, 16-19, Luke 15, Malachi 2:10, Psalm 82:6, Deut.32:18, Is.51:1, Ps. 22:27,30,31, Eph.3:14,15.

I will write again as soon as my life is as boring as possible.

Home for one day...

2009-10-25T17:14:00.004-06:00

It sure is good to be home again! I couldn't keep my eyes open today... most probably because we walked miles and miles and slept very little In NYC. + I cannot seem to hug my 3 girls enough today. So happy to be home! But it's just for a day! We will be leaving for the Canadian Rockies tomorrow and will be gone for a week. On Wednesday Jaco and I will catch a flight to Vancouver for a day to watch U2 in concert. Just thinking about it makes my heart beat a little faster!

One of the highlights in New York City was the food. We ate at fantastic restaurants. Let me tell you:
Rosa Mexicana: Such a high end Mexican restaurant where they make the guacamole right in front of you. The food is so awesome... it's noisy, but happy!
Mesa grill: Our last dinner was at the mesa. Jaco said outright that never in his life did he eat better food anywhere... (I was not offended...he-he). And yes, it was out of this world. Also a little Mexican flavor with lots of corn-based-dishes. But OH! So, so, so fantastic. We will definately see Mesa grill again in our life. Oh, and remember to make a reservation a month in advance!
My personal favorite place was PUBLIC. a quaint little place in some kind of warehouse near Greenwich Village in Elisabeth street. I loved the atmosphere, the menu's (printed on ledger paper) and the food! We had our farewell brunch there. I will definitely go there again (and again). Just lovely.
We strolled down Bleecker street. And we found Magnolia Bakery...known for the best cupcakes in the world. The line was out of the shop and my husband is not so hard pressed for cupcakes... so I decided it was good enough reason to return to New York. amen.

Miracle on 54th:
On Wednesday night we went to Rosa Mexicana and came back to our hotel late the night. I remember taking out my wallet wanting to pay the cab driver but putting it back because I didnt have enough small change. The next morning I picked up my camera bag and the little compartment where my wallet was in, was open and empty and I knew in a second I lost my wallet. I wasn't worried at all as I took out my visa the previous morning and put it in the safe in our room (we always do this ) so the only thing in my wallet was my drivers license, my health card and a debit card. Anyway, we went to breakfast and while drinking our lattes, I got a call on my cell phone from my bank in Winnipeg... asking if I lost my bank card. I said yes! and the guy said that my wallet was found and at NYPD in 54th street. when I picked it up, not even the cash in there was missing. Coincidence? Someone once said that coincidence is when God workds a miracle and decided to remain anonymous. : )

I am itching to be creative... but I will enjoy my family time right now!

So, those of you making my little album from Ali Edwards blog, I would LOVE to see it! Please link me in the comments to pictures of your project!

THEN:
Please vote for my friend Kayla Aimee as she is pursuing her dream: TO WRITE! It's just one click for you. : )

I am uploading all my NYC pictures to my Mobile me gallery to give the family a slide show!
Till later!

i woke up....

2009-10-22T06:13:00.005-06:00

in a city that never sleeps! but what an awesome time. We are having a (mini) family reunion...Jaco's mom and dad are here as well as his brother, Andre (and his which we haven't seen in 5 years. Andre (and Denis) lives in London and have been living there so long, he is a real brit. He also knows NYC well as he works here a week in every month. It's just been a wonderful time connecting and spending time with them. and walking. walking thousands of miles. (he-he)

One thing of Andre and Denis is also that they know all the wonderful local places to eat. So, thus far, both nights has been fantastic dining. Tuesday night we had a fantastic (times 100) dinner at Pastis in 9th ave. It's a french bistro and we even got complimentary Champagne. Very appropriate for celebrating our reunion. Last night we had dinner at Rosa Mexicana. What can I say? The pomegranate margaritas was wonderful... And tonight we will be eating greek and going to see the Lion King. I cant wait!

Denis is our self appointed tour leader and as he is an architect, he has a vast knowledge of the structure and city planning of Manhattan. we did the downtown tour yesterday and visited ground zero. And the St Paul's chapel. This was the little chapel that was a home to all the relief workers. The stories told in the exhibitions there made me totally emotional. Just thinking of it make me emotional. What a horrible day 911 was. But that little chapel and the volunteers that worked there to me, was Jesus.
We also took the Staten Island ferry going past the statue and Denis took the typical tourist picture of the doctor and I. After downtown we took the subway to SOHO. What I love about NYC is the authenticity of it all. It's the original thing. Like the Prada shop's design and of course Anthropology.

Thanks SO MUCH for all the kind words about my Starbucks cup album. I was totally amazed! And the winner of the give away is: Megan that said...What an awesome idea! Starbucks Frappes are my weekness, and I love to indulge when I manage to get close to one. I may just have to do this special project to tell my story. Please email me! wilna71 at yahoo dot ca.
This post cost me $10. Yep. no free wireless at Hotel Hudson (where we are staying) but otherwise this is a wonderful Hotel. I love the location (on central park) Today Denis is taking us on the midtown tour. Our first stop will be breakfast to go at Wholefoods Market (reminds me SO much of woolies foods in SA). The we will be going up, up, up in the Empire State Building.
I will write again!

Just a bit of good news: Psalm 27:4 One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek, inquire for, and [insistently] require: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord [in His presence] all the days of my life, to behold and gaze upon the beauty [the sweet attractiveness and the delightful loveliness] of the Lord and to meditate, consider, and inquire in His temple. In Christ this desire has been fulfilled and are we able to meditate, consider, and inquire!
Peace!

happy day!

2009-10-20T09:00:00.001-06:00

I am currently in the air on my way to NYC! But Ali graciously said she loved my tutorial on making a Starbucks cup album and posted it on her blog today! So head over there and take a look! I asked a few amazing friends to make the project just to show some different perspective and here is what they did! Please click on each of their pictures to see their blogs...(and fantastic work) and then you can click here to go the flicker gallery to see all the albums... really inspiring!

Oh, and just to celebrate a bit, leave me a comment and you can win a fantastic box of Making Memory goodies...

A page.

2009-10-19T12:26:00.002-06:00

I made for the Creative Therapy blog. Head over there and see the challenge... it really made me think! For this page I lifted that awesome page here.
I am packing up and doing everything at once! Be sure to head back here tomorrow... lot's will be happening here while I am in the air. : )

A bit of Good news: Remember that you are blessed, happy, fortunate and to be envied when you realize that there is nothing on earth you can do to make God love you more! In Jesus He showed how much He loved you. and nothing, nothing, nothing you can do can make Him love you more. Nothing. what good news! Isa 40: [clear away the obstacles]; make straight and smooth in the desert a highway for our God!^A)"> Every valley shall be lifted and filled up, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked and uneven shall be made straight and level, and the rough places a plain. In Jesus, God did away with ANY and EVERY possible human excuse to feel separated from Him!
Till tomorrow... and I will be posting from NYC this week!
love

my eye and i... and NYC.

2009-10-16T09:29:00.003-06:00

Hi all my friends! It's FRIDAY already and i am a happy blogger today. My eye is better, amazingly better, but it's still red. Not as cherry red anymore, but I just might scare you still a bit. Let me say again... eye surgery is NOT for wimps.
I am wrapping up an assignment or 2 today and then I will start planning what to pack... because Jaco and I will be leaving for New York City on Monday!! I haven't spent so much time thinking about it, but today I am really getting excited. We will be meeting Jaco's mom and dad there as well as his brother Andre! So, it will be a family get together... and some sight seeing will be in the order of the day. I will be taking the Nikon, even thought I dont like traveling with it. We will be back for one day and then packing up again to take my mom and dad to the Rockies. during our stay there, Jaco and I are jet-setting for one day to Vancouver to watch U2 in concert. we. cannot. wait. All our traveling was booked with flight points. I am convinced that's exactly what they must be used for! : )
then
Then be sure to check my blog on Tuesday for something very exciting that I have been working on for a long time. I am so excited. Even thought i will be traveling, it will be ready on here.

Today is the last day of school for my kids for this term. Jana got up at 7:30 to start working on her goals. Now it's 9:44 am and she is done. That kid will never cease to amaze me. She is incredible goal orientated and nothing drives her like a goal. She definitely keeps me on my toes.

Francois writes : You are not a surprise to God! “...now that you know God—or rather are known by God” (Gal 4:9). We are known by Him! I believe that the gospel is much more than a doctrine; it is the power of God unto salvation. This gospel originates in the heart of God and both its declaration and the faith it stirs are gifts of God - not inventions of man. (A.Rabe) The revelation of the gospel is to know, even as we have always been known! 1 Cor. 13:12 We know that the son of God has come, and He has given us understanding to know Him who is true, and we are in Him who is true! 1 John 5:20. (follow Francois on twitter)

peace to you.

Thanksgiving monday

2009-10-12T11:31:00.003-06:00

Today I am making the world's best lasagna. And Pumpkin pies (with cream of course). It's snowing outside. Everywhere is white. It's beautiful. My mom and dad are enjoying the snow like little kids. They adore it! And we are having friends over for this absolutely comforting lunch on this beautiful day. One big family.
This is the page I made from the picture I posted yesterday. I used mainly Cosmo Cricket and the Making Memories Vintage finds. You can see some details over here. In my world scrapbooking is still after all these years my one true love.

A thought for today:
Phil 4: 6-7 (Message) Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.

Peace to you...

thanksgiving.

2009-10-11T20:19:00.002-06:00

I am thankful. Deeply. Honestly. Heartfeltly. Thankful. Thank You My God for your Life and Your Son. And for my family, my husband, my girls and for Mac.

Eph 5:19 Speak psalms to one another; burst out in spontaneous celebration songs and spirit inspired resonance. In your heart don't let the music stop; continue to touch the Lord with your worship. 5:20 Because you are identified in the Name of Jesus Christ, you can afford to always overflow in gratitude to the Father, (not for everything that happens to you but) in spite of everything that happens to you; you are not under circumstances but above circumstances because you are in Him!

much love and peace

Inspiration!

2009-10-08T09:25:00.003-06:00

Oh my goodness... I have been so inspired lately. Let me share a few of my most favorite finds:
{Jen Jockisch} I mean, how does she do perfect everytime? And This page is beyond.
Marie-LaureB I actually lifted this page yesterday. I think it's perfect! You can have a look at all 4 her pages. Brilliant design.
This page was just touching.
junglebarrya's HAPPY page. Makes one smile just looking at it.
This page by 71babe... he-he. Guess who that is.

Romans 15:13 God who is the engineer of expectation fills you to the brim with tranquil delight. The dynamic of the Holy Spirit causes faith to exceed any possible hesitation in hope. (mirror translation)

All smiles

i am here...

2009-10-07T09:12:00.003-06:00

my one eye is still a little swollen and would just tear-up for no reason. I have 6 tiny stitches in there so it's like having sand in your eye. Definitely better than yesterday.
But otherwise i can at least smile! And I really, really want to be creative.

here is a little pick me up for you (and me):

2 cor 6: 11-13 Dear, dear Corinthians, I can't tell you how much I long for you to enter this wide-open, spacious life. We didn't fence you in. The smallness you feel comes from within you. Your lives aren't small, but you're living them in a small way. I'm speaking as plainly as I can and with great affection. Open up your lives. Live openly and expansively!

till tomorrow

Monday: pages and surgery.

2009-10-05T09:17:00.002-06:00

This is a page for Creative Therapy. Make a page this week about your super-power and link it over there. It was mayor fun. I am drinking a double shot espresso coffee this morning.... because I am having eye surgery later today. I have a pterygium that's been growing for years. And the eye doctor said it's time to remove it. So, I will be yours (pirate) sincerely for 24 hours.
Now I am drinking coffee to get fortified... love my coffee.

THE WINNER for the Christmas papers is: TAMMY (#28)! Please email me your address. And I will mail it out this week.

I was watching the BBC Planet earth dvd's last night with my mom and dad that's visiting us from South Africa. And Something SPECTACULAR caught me eye. It was about the forests. When you go to the north pole, there are very little trees and going south you encounter the TIAGA. It's mostly Conifer trees. They said that the trees in these forests (that goes right around the world) only have 30 days of growth every year. It can take up to 50 years for a tree to grow the size of a seedling. (because there is so little sunshine) Then they said, to see the full potential of the conifer tree, you have to go 1000miles south. In the pacific north west, (Oregon) the conifers are the biggest trees in the world. They grow 10 times faster and up to 30 storeys or 100m. They live thousands of years. The biggest tree on earth is called general Sherman and is the largest living thing on the planet... weighing more than 10 blue wales. wow.

the lesson?

Malachi 4:2 (IN CHRIST) shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings and His beams, and you shall go forth and gambol like calves [released] from the stall and leap for joy. & Isa 61 : 3 that they may be called oaks of righteousness (N CHRIST) [lofty, strong, and magnificent, distinguished for uprightness, justice, and right standing with God], the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified.

if we do not get the IN CHRIST connection, we cannot live by faith and we will not grow to be oaks of righteousness. + GROW OUR Full potential.
Till tomorrow

weekend give away.

2009-10-02T15:25:00.002-06:00

This weekend I am spending time with my family. + I am doing some wedding invitations for a friend which will take some happy time in completing. I am also doing a RAK (random act of kindness) for one happy commenter. Tell me what you are doing this weekend or anything I need to know. I am giving away some Making Memories Mistletoe paper. It's all for Christmas (in 2 months!!) and it's beautiful.

Some good news for you for this weekend: Matt 11:28"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Love and a kiss

Wedding book...

2009-10-01T16:24:00.005-06:00

This was what kept me busy for the last week: A wedding book. I made it for my nephew who got married and I am sure it's the best gift I could give. You can see the whole book here. If you like it... and even want to make one just like it, I have good news. All the templates (papers/embellishments etc) was designed by myself so I have the copyright. I will be making the whole album's templates available as part of something exciting. Just keep on checking back here.
Francois Wrote: It is no wonder that Jesus had the reputation of being the friend of sinners; they never felt condemned, judged unworthy or excluded in His company. ‘The tax collectors and sinners were all attracted to Him to hear Him speak.’ Luke 15:1. When the religious leaders complained about this, He told them three parables to emphasize the same truth: the lost sheep, the lost coin and the prodigal son, represent the same person. Their lost condition did not cancel their original value. This is such good news!

Love and a kiss

Baking cake and pages.

2009-09-29T10:58:00.002-06:00

The pioneerwoman's coffee cake is becoming staple in this house. In fact, I am sure I can almost bake it now without a recipe. all I can say is double yum. And then I want to share a page that's on Creative Therapy this week. the catalyst was: Who’s the person who supports you the most in your life (emotionally and intellectually)? I am sure you can guess who for me:
I think it's a wonderful thing. This creative Therapy blog. It inspired you to make pages. AND make them meaningful.

Psalm 15 A David Psalm God, who gets invited to dinner at your place? How do we get on your guest list? "Walk straight, act right, tell the truth. "Don't hurt your friend, don't blame your neighbor; despise the despicable. "Keep your word even when it costs you, make an honest living, never take a bribe. "You'll never get blacklisted if you live like this." How many times did I read this Psalm and knew that I didnt qualify. That was until I discovered the good news. Jesus obeyed the law. Rom 5: 19 says that For just as by one man's disobedience (failing to hear, heedlessness, and carelessness) the many were constituted sinners, so by one Man's obedience the many (YOU AND I) will be constituted righteous (made acceptable to God, brought into right standing with Him). So, read Psalm 15 again and say, I qualify. In Christ, before God, I walk straight. In Him, before God, I act right, In Him, before God, I tell the truth. In Him, before God, I Don't hurt my friend, In Him, before God, I don't blame my neighbor; in Him, before God, I despise the sin. In Him, before God, I Keep my word even when it costs me, I make an honest living, I never take a bribe. Because He did it, I have done it. He died for me, so I can Live. This, my friends, are Good News. And it takes faith to believe it.

Till tomorrow,
love

I cried.

2009-09-28T13:48:00.002-06:00

Just looking at these made me sob. This guy has a gift.
Spending the day with my own personal doctor : )... Loving the moments.
Till tomorrow

[I am featured on the Making Memories blog today... go and have a look...]
This week has been wonderful. Homeschooling the girls are getting just better and better. I am loving it more and more everyday. I think I discovered that I am a born teacher... for bigger kids. I love explaining the math (I always loved math), I loved teaching Tia how to study... highlighting the important stuff, making notes and studying your own notes. I love to see the light come on in Kirstin eyes when she "gets" the wipe-out game i taught her with greatest common factors. I love it when Jana reads her little hardcover story book and asks me what's a plot? Just loving it.
I made this page yesterday... doing a challenge for the MME (My Minds Eye) blog. I have a huge MME stash and loved the challenge. and i totally *heart* how the page turned out.

Francois writes: ‘Whoever draws near unto God must believe that He is, and that He Himself is the reward of them that diligently seek Him.’ Hebrews 11:6. ‘You who pursue righteousness, who seek God, look to the Rock from which you were hewn, and the quarry from which you were dug’ Isaiah 51:1. God is not lost, neither is He playing hide and seek; mankind simply lost sight of God as the Origin of their being. God is not the invention of man, we are His invention. The Creator is not far from each one of us, says Paul to the Greek philosophers. In Him we live and move and have our being. The invisible God is revealed in His Son and mirrored in us. Col.1:15, 2 Cor.3:18.
Love this! It's such good news!
Love and a kiss

I have been: visiting with my mom and dad, eating, cooking, homeschooling, designing, designing, designing, helping with stuff, looking at old scrapbooks (that mom brought from SA), ordering pictures, making little gift boxes, mailing them, filling out forms and mailing that too, planning trips (New York in October), planning other trips (Banff, Jasper, Vancouver), making a lot of hotel bookings, emailing people, working on projects, ordering paper online, chatting with babes online (mostly my friend Kayla Aimee), reading the Word (mostly Ephesians) walking the dog, watching Survivor Samoa, and NCIS season 7, feeding the dog, reading the pioneerwomans blog, and I did take a shower or two too.
so
you can see I have been around, not blogging so much, but I was busy people. So, today we have another one of those amazing days. It's sunny, warm and just so beautiful. It's really hard on days like this to imagine it getting -40 degrees sometimes.

Look for a little video later today where I explain about Photoshop actions. I am going to film it right now, after I hit publish post.

I am reading and pondering Ephesians and I want to share this verse from chapter 3: 16 I desire for you to realise what the Father has given you from His own limitless resources, so that you may be dynamically reinforced in your inner being by the Spirit of God. 3:17 This will impact your faith with capacity to fully grasp the reality of the indwelling Christ. You are rooted and founded in Love. Love is your invisible inner source just like the root system of a tree and the foundation of a building. (The dimension of your inner person exceeds any other measure that could possibly define you.)

Remember, doesn't matter who you are or what you have done, IN Christ, you are right with God. YOU are included!
Love

thanks...
