I am so exited that spring is coming! My garden is already coming back to life. I am already getting blooms on my hibiscus bush. I am enjoying going out and watering my green babies. I will add a picture of the Blue Girl rose bush when it starts to leaf and bloom. My big tree out side my window is leafing again. ****My Blue Girl rose bush never leafed so the nursery replaced it with the Midnight Blue rose. I will have to wait till next year to try again.
Spring to me is a fresh start, a new beginning. It's perfect time for Easter. Jesus died and was reserected to give us new hope, a fresh start and a new be... » Read More

I have been trying to decide what to write and decided to just go with my heart. I apologize if it strays off a bit or bounces a round. What I feel is very difficult to put into words.First off I want to say Happy Birthday to Jesus again. If it wasn't for your sacrifice hope an love would have not been born. I would not be the person I am with out you!I have been given so many gifts and blessings this year from loved ones and friends that I am in awe. You all know who you are and have been thanked individually. It warms my heart to know I am so loved and never alone. I can't it express what that means to me! Hugs to you all!

I have come to notice every Christmas brings new
blessings. No matter what we have gone through the rest of the year. I
call it new hope, and being thankful for the good in our lives. Many of
us have suffered hurt and heart ache some how some way.
Christmas isn't just celebrating Christs birth giving us a new hope and
life and heart, but it is celebrating surviving the hurt and heart
ache. I hope and pray that everyone has a blessed Christmas day, and a fresh new better blessed new year.Here is a gift from me to all who is interested in it...a poem written by me... What Christmas Should be

I wanted to feature another talented seller. She is also a artazan that has multiple crafts. My favorite by far is her wind chimes. I will admit I am not a wind chime fan, and for the most part I'm still not. Her chimes are not loud like the mettle ones, and so beautiful. Come meet MDavisDesigns.I own six of her wind chimes personally, and got one for a close friend. All her creations are lovingly made and with quality.

Time to be honest here. Crocheting and knitting wasn't one my favorite hand made items. I didn't see it as a craft at one time, at least not one I liked. The only thing crocheted I had in my home was an old Christmas stocking my mother made for me when I was a kid. Mind you I an 34 now. Since starting my store here on ArtFire, I have been converted. I now know there is so many awesome thing you can do with yarn! One of my favorite sellers for crocheted items is Crochetedlittlethings. Since knowing her, my home is filled with her creations. As many of the sellers I blog about here items are made with heart and quality. Out of her creations I love h... » Read More

As I have said in another one of my blogs, I own very little jewelry. I like simple necklaces and have to have longer than normal chains and special clasps. Another one of my favorite jewelry sellers I go to is Alisuns.I own several of of pieces personally as well. She makes clip on earnings for my mother, that my mother loves. Out of everything I have gotten from her was a key chain she made just for me. It means so much to me and hangs on my computer screen where I can see it every day. There is plenty of room to add to in the future. The butterfly was a huge blessing. Butterflies is one symbles for my home. It means freedom and beauty and remin... » Read More

More plants are going to be added a little at a time. I now have added German thyme, an Angelface and Dark star bush. I made plant markers to add even more love to my plants.

One of my loves is a Christian cartoon called VeggieTales. The best way to explain them is animated vegetables teaching the word of God in a simple, fun and silly way. I am a proud to be a single adult that loves these wonderful cartoons (no matter how many funny looks I get when my phone rings...lol). I proudly admit to all that I love VeggieTales.
On my hardest days that everything seems to go wrong, Veggie Tales comes to the rescue and make me smile and giggle. I have the sewing fabric that I have made personal items with, cd's, dvd's. I even made the songs into ring tones for my cell phone.
Here are a few clips and songs of this ... » Read More
