Past Work

I did this heart lesson a few years ago with my 5-7 year old homeschool art students. It was inspired by the heart paintings of Jim Dine. It is a simple design that adds a pop of color to your walls.

I have been challenging myself to use up the art supplies and things I have on hand before acquiring more. Anybody with me on this challenge? This is easier said then done because I love junk! However, I am really, really, really being intentional on making progress in this area (with the exception of rusty […]

Do you ever start a project not sure of exactly what you have in mind? An idea stirring, a painting/project jumping to get out, but no plan on how to make it a reality? Well, that was me on this one.  I had the thought of “Love Lives Here” and wanted to paint something with […]

And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.  Ezekiel 36:26 So grateful that God is in the business of renewing our hearts!  We can rest and rejoice in […]

I had a box of CDs/DVDs that I rescued from the trash bin after a church event (I just could not let them be discarded…a great material that I knew was made for something more and would come in craft-handy one day!!!). 🙂 Inspiration hit me as I was thinking about DIY craft ideas for […]

  We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf.  Hebrews 6:19-20 (NIV) I love the Word of God!!!  What power to hold onto as we enter a new year! To know that in […]

I got my porch decorated for Christmas a couple weeks ago. I love using items I already have around the house and add a more festive flare to them with Christmas decor items I picked up on discount, at second hand shops or yard sales. I used an old sled to host my manger scene. […]

This project was done with my 1st – 3rd grade art classes. The kids absolutely loved it…especially their finished masterpieces!!! 🙂 It is so simple to do and can be done for any season or holiday throughout the year.  Leaves, pumpkins, flowers, sea shells, Easter eggs, snowflakes and Christmas trees are just a few ideas that […]

I thought I would share some photos of the past that make me smile every time I look at them and new ones that bring me joy as well.Here’s a picture of me from college. So fun to look at this photo and think of how grateful I am for the Lord who makes known […]

Well, I caught the cold bug, perhaps bronchitis, and I am trying to rid my body of it the good old fashion way…that is to say without antibiotics. For now, drinking A LOT of, what my friends I like to call, “Miracle Tea” (a blend of assorted teas and essential oils). So, if anyone has […]

“But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere.” II Corinthians 2:14 Grateful every day for the goodness of the Lord and for his blessing of family, friends and the gift of joy that only He brings to […]

I say it over and over, but I just love kids art!!! Besides loving their artwork, I love their smiles when they see what they can create! I love seeing how their precious little minds work in trying to figure out combining elements of shape to create, in this case, a scarecrow! What a joy […]
