God cares about our daily affairs

I was headed to Michael’s but while in route I realized I didn’t have my receipt for the new Cricut cartridges (Sweet heart and Kitchen) I purchased several days before. I became paranoid as I looked through my purse (at a stop light) and still couldn’t find the receipt. I thought it was strange because I had my other Michael’s receipt for other items purchased at the same time I purchased the cartridges. As soon as I got home from Michael’s, ( I went anyway to return a 18 by 18 Martha Steward album) I shuffled through a purse I used earlier, old receipts and finally the garbage can as I had thrown away some receipts before I left to go to Michaels. While looking through the garbage can I stumbled across a piece of mail I had told my daughter to place in the mail box a day earlier. Suddenly, I realized God had devised the present events just so I could find this letter and mail it off for this piece of mail was my son’s rent. I began to thank God immediately for His mysterious working power at the same time thinking of a way to punish my daughter for not doing what she was told. Anyway, I had a peace knowing I would find my receipt after I realized God has ordered my steps and these events so I didn’t worry. I then remembered I had some coupons (the ones Michael’s print out on their receipts) in the door of my car so I went outside to check it out. After sorting through several coupon receipts the last receipt was my receipt for the Cricut cartridges. I praised God in amazement for blessing me not only to find this receipts but blessing me to find something I didn’t even know was missing – my son’s rent check. During the process, my anger towards my daughter subsided for I knew without a doubt this incident was a blessing from the Lord and was not meant for punish and discipline (although I will verbally admonish her). More so than both of these blessings, however, God blessed me once again by manifesting His mysterious working power in my day to day life. What would I do without the Holy Spirit who expresses his concern for my affairs (whether small or great) in such ways as He did today.
Thank you Jesus!

Peachy Keen Love Clock Card

Peachy Keen Love Clock Card Okay, this is my first challenge ever and I'm a little nervous. I absolutely adore the laughy taffy faces and have conjured up a gazillion ways to use them. The love clock project is the one I'm feeling and sharing today. I started off using regular rubber stamps clocks but wasn't really feelin the Roman numbers so I decided to make my own clocks using my Pazzles cutter and Gel pens using hearts and XO's instead of numbers. [Photo]I didn't desire a overly girly card so I decided against the lovey doby patterned papers keeping it simple and straight to the point giving it a masculine feel with plain cardstock and black mats/leather type paper ribbon. Of course since the card is flirtatious I had to add some lace.... Give this card to your crush and if he don't know what time it is well he just can't tell time!

Recieved my Oriental Trading Order

One hour ago I recieved my brads and gems from Oriental Trading. To my dismay the gem brads were plastic and lacked the glimmer and glitz i was hoping for. The glitter brads were okay but wasn't worth the price as the quanity was low. The best value was the basic brads which i purchased in bulk in all 3 sizes. The Christian stickers were also nice as well as the foggy brads (only purchased one pack). Despite my disappointment I will find a way to make the gem brads sparkle and shine like the real stuff.

Crafts Deals at Joann's and Tuesday Morning

I visit Joann's and Tuesday Mornings at least 4 times a week. Today, I found some wonderful deals. Clear rubber stamps (valued at $10 and $15 were $97c and $1.97 at Joann's. I also found some other amazing deals including stickers and paper at Tuesday Mornings. When shopping at Tuesday Mornings please understand they usually have scrapbooking materials in several areas of their store (I learned this today when i decided to walk around the store and found a whole area of Scrabooking items I never knew existed). I will post pictures of these deals and have fun shopping at these stores. P.S. Always get price checks on Joann's clearance items as they are sometimes cheaper than what is listed. The clear stamps i purchased were discounted to $4.97 but actually came up $97c at the register.
