A sewing project

I have this great skirt that I love...it's perfect to wear with leggings and boots and is so comfy! One problem...whenever I walk it just rides up in front and looks completely unattractive not to mention its really annoying. So I bought a slip, cut it up and sewed it into the front of the skirt as a lining! Its not the prettiest sewing job but it works like magic and that makes me super happy! One small step for this relatively uncrafty person! :)

A snow globe...

This is a drawing that includes the New York snow globe I gave Kate. When she got it she asked her daddy if he ever got a snow globe with a taxi when he was little. He said he hadn't. Kate replied, "That's because you don't have an Aunt Kelly who loves you very much." Sweet girl! :)

Posterous by phone??

Who knew there were so many options? Here's a pic from the KU game Saturday. Tons of fun!

Posterous by mail...

You may be wondering what in the world I was talking about...posting to a "new site" when you can see it right here on blogger. How silly can one person be? But, here's the kicker...I actually posted it from my posterous sight and it automatically posted it to blogger. So not only is it easier and faster for me to post but its convenient for you (my readers, if there are any still out there) because you don't have to sign up for a new subscription or change my site...I'll still post it to blogger, I'm just hoping I can post easier..like, right now, I'm posting this via email...cool, huh?

**PS...if you feel so inclined, you can check out my other site at  http://abundantlysatisfied.posterous.com/ 

**PPS...in case you are wondering why you are looking at a picture of my t-shirt drawer...well, you see, I wanted to see if I could post a picture via email...and I wanted you to see all the hard work I put into this one drawer...it may never look like this again but one can hope, right?!

It's a first...

I'm trying out a new blog sight...seeing if it is easier to post here than on blogger. In light of this first, I thought I would share another first...my first pic I took with my DSLR. I love it! Yet, sadly, I've not been able to recreate this sort of beauty from my camera since. Maybe I should spend a little more time practicing, huh? At any rate...enjoy!

Wear your hard hat...

Updated: Here's the new look...for now...the one I wanted off of TCBOTB won't work..so alas...here is where I have arrived! Sooo...what do you think? Is it a keeper or should I keep hunting?

...cuz we are under construction! :) Be gracious as I try to implement a new template when I have absolutely no clue what on earth I am doing!  Wish me luck and look forward to a new look!

Beloved

I am single. I have no Valentine. (tear). And yet I am part of the greatest love story ever told...I've experienced the greatest love one could ever hope to experience...

"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." John 15:13

His life was given up for mine...

"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Romans 8:32

And nothing will ever separate me from Him or His love for me...

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? ...Yet in all things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities nor powers nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35, 37-39

He is the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord, who loved me with such great love that He gave His life that I might be washed clean of my sin and be made a king and priest to His glory for ever...

"...Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. " Revelation 1:5-6

Yes, it is true. I am His, He is mine....

"I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine. " Song of Solomon 6:3.

[Beloved: to be dear to the heart or to be greatly loved (according to dictionary.com).]

And though it is true that I have failed Him often, I have been distracted by the things of this world, and yet He loves me without measure and without bounds and He is ever faithful to me....

"...I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you..." Jeremiah 31:3

Do you know Him too? Do you have this same Love of mine? Oh, friend, did you know? You, too, are dear to His heart. You, too, are greatly loved by my Jesus. You are beloved.

"For God so loved the world (that's me and you) that He (the Father) gave His only begotten Son (The Lord Jesus Christ), that whoever (this means YOU!) believes (or trusts) in Him (The Lord Jesus Christ) should not perish (death in hell) but have everlasting life (live in heaven with the Lord Jesus Christ forever and ever)." John 3:16

Wouldn't you agree that my love story is the best love story ever told? :)
