Between the Bubbles My Way! God's Fingerprints and Fabulous Friends!

MY CUP IS HALF FULL!
I am soooo excited about it being Friday, after working a full-time job, getting ready to close the Health Room for the summer, fighting with our union to keep our hours and not get them cut (WE WON!), working part-time helping my friend de-clutter and reorganize and pack up her home for a final move to Texas, planting my gardens, training Autumn, reclaiming my house from HUGE dust bunnies and well... you understand.  So - I was thinking about bubble baths and taking one!
but then my mind wandered
ooops
so then I though about all the gardening things I have to do
and began to let my my wander to books ...


   gardening
    
    weeding


      planting

    more weeding

   margarita  

brie and crackers
spending time with my honey bunny
so no posts for the weekend ... I just plan to be me -
in Woodbine Maryland - with my pets, my yard,
 a new born calf in the neighborhood,
buying a neighbor's fresh eggs, JUST ME ...THANKS TO YOU!
THE END
God's Fingerprints - that I have a hubby, furry companions,
friends, bubble baths, blogging buddies, a home, a job, can be myself and create,
and HE loves me for who I am and always will.
Through HIS grace. Amen  Jennifer

God's Fingerprint's Friday, It's a Long and Winding Road


I woke up with a clean slate - peace of mind for Friday...
packed up all my cares and woes
had my morning caffeine with my critters
started my car and headed to work
oops! wrong me...
that's more like it!
stopped for petrol $2.95 - and a cup of decaf
you know how you get a song in your mind and hum and sing & hum?
well mine is "Bye, Bye, Blackbird" Who knows why?
driving, humming, singing
splat - splash - crap
java on my freshly ironed crisp clean white blouse
directly over my right boob
soooooo...
I’m gonna pack up all my cares and woe,
Here I go singin' low,
Bye bye blackbird.

Where somebody waits for me,
Sugar is sweet, so is he,
Bye bye blackbird.

No one here can love or understand me,
Oh what hard luck stories, they all hand me.

Make my bed and light the light,
I’ll arive late tonight
Blackbird, blackbird, blackbird... bye bye
 

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. James 5:13

Friday...For The Birds! Has Everyone Gone to Roundtop But ME?

i was decluttering again ... and again...
when i came upon some not so new spanish moss
but i am a firm believer in reuse, recycle - so, it being Spring....


 i love birds, nests and eggs.....so

                i thought about nesting...
feathered friends
giving back to nature
so i laid it in my empty birdbath
i watched, waited, bit by bit - strand after strand
they carried it away until it was gone
happy friday, happy weekend! Jennifer
P.S. My friend Ann(Commerce,TX)is on her way to Autin and then Roundtop, I see blogs of folks on their way...
happy hunting, wear comfortable shoes, bring toilet paper and I'll be here in Maryland...for the birds!

Fingerprints Friday - Gallery of My Card Designs

I've had a card design business for several years. The name of my business is The Three Graces. I began designing cards for friends and a few said "you should make these and sell them" - SO I DID.
I have a wide variety of styles and colors - humorous, botanicals, birds, nests, children, dog breeds and special requests.

They are one of a kind but I can make similar styles. Custom orders are possible if a customer would like a particular photo and they email it to me. My cards are blank inside, packaged with an envelope in a clear sealed sleeve.
Cost: $3.00 each + shipping
nature and time   sold
faithful friends   sold
couragous survivor  sold
my cup of tea  sold

I'd love to hear your comments, ideas, insight...
cardmaking is very relaxing for me - it enanbles me to spend hours being creative, using humor, art, quotes, color. I sell my cards in local antique & gift shops, an art and framing gallery, to private customers. How is God a fingerprint in my life with this business? -  What pleasure it brings to create but even more so when I hear someone chuckle at a funny quote or say"someone gave me one of your cards and I loved it!" - to make others happy. HE makes that possible.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.  Jennifer
happy friday & God bless
 My cards will be available for purchase. Payment will be through PayPal! Please check back and I will have new designs and information. Jennifer * If you have any questions...please feel free to leave a comment, I love hearing from you!

My Friday Fingerprints Happy Ending.... praise and thanks for fingerprints on my heart

Friday's Fingerprints on my heart...
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us."
                                                                             Albert Schweitzer


i was having a tough time yesterday

needed to feel Spring and hope
to hear words of encouragement
get a boost
look at your lovely blogs
you right there for me
you were right there for ME!

then i received an email from my union rep telling me we are all losing an hour a day on our jobs due to the economy - not more money - less money
i fret... my phone rings

my friend bev says - "i read the email trust in the LORD,
open your bible to Psalms 46:1,2"
i did - it said - i knew
"God is our refuge and our strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not fear, though the Earth be removed, and though mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."
