Just a journal thing...

Good Evening my dears.. 

Hope you all had a blessed weekend.. 

We had a lovely Lord's Day and God was so faithful and blessed us with a touch of His presence.. 

Granting  us strength for the week ahead..

Thankful... 

This is just a short posting tonight.. 

Today I worked on getting ready for Keepers Meeting which is on this Saturday morning ... 

Trying out some new recipes, making up a few craft ideas, doing my lists , searching the Word... 

I don't like to show any pics of this as I like to surprise the girls... 

So, I will share today's work next week after the meeting.. 

The above pic was one I took when I was in my bedroom there in the last post.. 

These are two journals that I keep in my drawer in my night stand.. 

Do you know that I have kept a journal since I was 12 years old?  

A mighty long time... grin..

I did not write in it daily or even monthly ... 

Just every once in awhile..There is quite a pile of them.. 

It started out in just some plain paper folded like a notebook with some of my doodling to decorate it.. smile.. 

The one above is my latest.. 

Dustin gave it to me for Christmas a few years ago.. 

It holds triumphs and blessings.. 

And sadness and pain.. 

But most of all it holds joy... 

Joy that God gives because He is faithful that way.. 

Prayers asked and prayers answered.. 

Then the other Teddy Bear Journal is one that I started when our oldest grandson was born.. 

In it's pages are memories of our times together written down ..

Some little pieces of remembrances stuck here and there.. 

Pictures, cards, ribbons or whatever.. 

They are growing so quickly and I wish I had kept a better record ...

But it is just for me anyway... 

Do you keep a journal? 

What kind do you have?  

Just wondering.. 

Well, I must get to bed... 

I have a recipe in the crock pot that I need to check ... 

Get Terry's critique.. grin.. 

Have a blessed week my dears .. 

Thank you so much for your lovely words and visits.. 

Sending you all blessings.. 

A Saturday night Mish Mash...

Hello my dears.. 

Just a few pics for you tonight.. 

I am still in  a pickle as you can see... smile.. 

Making things for the Art in the Park show tomorrow.. 

They wanted my preserves and such.. 

I decided to do a few recycled dish cloths ( the how to is HERE)  and some journals and other stuff..

I was telling Terry that I now feel justified for buying my UK Country Living mags and a few others.. 

I just use one of the pages for my journals and that pays for my habit.. grin.. 

I really do not buy very many any more but I do love the British ones.. 

I put a pic of a recipe for you ... 

This came from one of those old books and as you can see I sliced some up and tried them.. 

They are delicious.. 

A bottle is almost depleted after only one day.. grin.. 

Let me know if you make them..please.... 

A few pickles pictured... 

Red and Green Hot Pepper Jelly.. 

And my Gram's Chow Chow and Bread and Butters..

Also beginning to dry some sage and comfrey for future salves and soup herb bags... The how to is HERE..

Just a little mish mash of a posting tonight.. 

Hope you are all having a wonderful long weekend.. 

I appreciate all your sweet comments last posting wishing Shonda a happy birthday.. 

You guys are darlings.. 

Thanks for your visit and as always I love hearing from you.. 

Oh my.. 

Poor Sammi... 

They have gone crazy on the beach doing fireworks.. 

He detests them.. smile.. 

I think he will need therapy by the time we go home.. 

Good night all... 

Love and Prayers 

Faye...
