COPY CAT CHALLENGE

I have been wanting to copy this since I first opened the Summer Issue of Folk

I fell in love with everything about it...

Above I created a collage of theirs and mine, views...



Since my Dogwood has been done blooming for quite some time now, I used my Rose of Sharon, I like the white better, but we gotta work with what we have, right?

I also did not have an Old Ice cream Maker, not for lack of trying (the ones I found were all way out of my price range) So I made a "faux" Ice cream maker~ I removed the handle of one of my Grinders, and stuck it on an old Bucket, not too bad for FREE!

The rest was easy, I've used my Shutter as a table runner before, so it was right where I needed it

I had 2 Painters Drop Cloths (bought for project, yet to come) I just folded them and placed them under the Shutter



A small Tin Bucket, some Burlap and small branches of Rose of Sharon

Added some of my Mom's China, and called it complete... I think I like it.

Hydrangea Photo Shoot

 Corinthians 3:9

For we are God's co-workers; you are God's field, God's building. (NIV)

Who but God could create such beauty?

Loving my potting table!

I am so thrilled to have these beautiful hydrangeas blooming in my yard!

I only have a few blooms on several different plants, but together the form a wonderful bouquet

So, we (me and flowers) decided to have a photo shoot...

They weren't bashful at all! Here they are posing on my "new" rusty step stool, one of my many treasures from the "Hundred Mile Yard Sale"

and again here on my (almost complete, potting table) Hopefully I'll be sharing this soon, it just needs a little "tweaking"

I love the hydrangeas combined with the Russian Sage

Now I think they are just showing off...

Truthfully if I looked as good as they do, I'd be showing off too!

There is something so peaceful in their beauty

I think I could have played with these blooms all day

When I'm working with my flowers I truly do feel as though I am working along side God

Thoughts on the Olympic opening ceremony

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
  ~Revelation 7:9

Just wanted to share:

Putting things into Prospective

Some thoughts on the Olympic opening ceremony at WordSmith, By Pastor John Smith
http://www.wordsmithjohn.com/blog/july-28---olympic-opening.html



Its my favorite part of the Olympic opening ceremony, as the athletes from every nation march into the stadium under the flag of their country.
It hits me every time. This is what it will be like after Jesus returns.
People from every nation will march into heaven, celebrating the beginning of something much more significant than the Olympics. They will be celebrating the beginning of eternity in the Presence of God!
After all the athletes enter comes the finale… the Olympic Torch enters and the Olympic Flame is lit.
This too thrills me, as I think about the Light of the World who will be presented in all His power and glory on that great day. From that point on, there will be no need of the sun, "for the glory of God gives the light!" (Revelation 21:23)
So I see more in the opening ceremony that meets the eye. Through eyes of faith I see a great future event… and I see myself as one of those saints marching in!
And my gold medal awaits. Yes!

Summer Mantel

Psalms 119:105

Nun. Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. (NIV)

I wanted to share a few pictures of my newest mantel display

Super simple, Just combined some white and aqua and white candle stick holders

Some empty frames, and books

My Mom's Milk Glass bowl, filled with hydrangeas

An "aged" clay pot with more hydrangeas, in my Church Window Frames, on both sides of the Fireplace

All pretty simple, but I like it!
