My Daily Inspiration Quote

On every journey you take, you are met with options. At every fork in the road, you make a choice. These are the decisions that shape your life.
~ Mike DeWine

Still Tasty

A site worth looking at, especially since the food industry tries to tell you to throw out everything at the expiration date. Never did that since I worked in a food company and knew from our technical staff. Hope it helps you saving,
How long can that bottle of ketchup stay in your fridge before it goes bad? I'm thinking 5 or 10 years but if you want an expert opinion, go to the web site below. This site lists all kind of foods and how to keep them fresh longer as well as when to get rid of them. If you have a question click on the particular picture, and a whole list of stuff appears.............WHAT A GREAT SITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Valentine Altered Altoid Tins for 2nd Grade class




After walking 2 miles w/Alayna last night, I finally finished my Valentine gifts for my 12 students plus 6 more for teachers & Fr. Mike. I'll post a pic later, but basically I altered Altoid tins covering the top/bottom and wrapping ribbon around them. I also put a pic from our Church Bulletin inside. The theme is Love of course and that is the greatest commandment of all from Jesus to love one another.

God Thinks You're Wonderful!

God Thinks You're Wonderful!
...It may be difficult for you to believe that God knows your name...but He does.Written on His hand. Spoken by His mouth. Whispered by His lips. Your name.

You have captured the heart of God. He cannot bear to live without you.

God's dream is to make you right with Him. And the path to the cross tells us exactly how far God will go to call us back.

It is not our love for God: it is God's love for us in sending His Son to be the way. If you want to touch God's heart, use the name He loves to hear. Call Him "Father".

He thinks you're wonderful!




I have written your name on My hand. Isaiah 49:16

Alayna's friend Meta's Birthday

Last weekend, Alayna had a birthday party for her friend, Meta, whose birthday wish was a Kohl's gift card. So instead of a card, I decided to make a "purse" gift card holder. I even used the SU heart boarder punch on the front sides!
