Why I was doing the snoopy dance?

The wait is over ya'll.  I received my box of goodies from Judy on Friday but I didn't get home until late and then I wasn't home on Saturday so I had to wait until this morning to open it.  Now, please remember when you see these pictures, this is me with NO makeup and my hair thrown up on my head.  But I wanted to have pictures to show Judy and ya'll. 

Judy, thank you so much.  I LOVED everything in the box.  You are the sweetest.  I still can't believe I won, but so glad I did.

On with the show.

Isn't all the goodies wonderful?   It was just like Christmas.  I couldn't stop smiling.

Gotta post this at my homemaking blog now. 

BTW folks if you are looking for some good fun recipes for Halloween I have posted lots of goodies on my recipe blog.  Check it out here. Plus this week I plan to post some pictures of my home and decorations on my homemaking site.  So try to keep up with me.  :)

Hope you have a blessed night!

Doing the snoopy dance!

I just had to post to let you all know that I won a giveaway. I can't believe it. I'm so happy I have been doing the snoopy dance ever since. I would show you pictures but I can't as they are protected on Judy's site...but if you want to see the goodies I won, check out her site. You'll need to look at the October 8th posting to see the wonderful little treasures she is gave away. Thank you Judy and Emily!


It's hard to believe but the end of the week is upon us again, this has been a weird kinda week for me. It always is when I have days off. Of course it makes it harder to come back in here after a long weekend.


Don't have alot of time at the moment, but will try to get back soon.
Hugs,
Cindy

Jesus' letter to me and you

I recieved this in the mail this past week, and I thought it was lovely.  Just wanted to share it.  A letter from Jesus.

My Dear Child:

My love, I love you (John 15:9). I have called you by your name, you are mine (Isaiah 43:1). Before I formed you, I knew you. And before you were born, I consecrated you (Jeremiah 1:5). You did not choose me, I chose you
(John 15:16). Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in good health, even as your soul prospers (III John 2).

Because you are precious to me, and honored, I love you (Isaiah 43:4). I have loved you with an everlasting love and I will continue my Constant love(Jeremiah 31:3). How can I abandon you? My love for you is too strong (Hosea 11:8). I love you so much that I hung on the cross at Calvary. I died for you, and if you believe in Me, you will have everlasting life (John 3:16).
Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Yet, even should she forget, I will never forget you. I cannot forget you. I will hold you in the palm of my hands (Isaiah 49:15-16). For I, the Lord your God, am holding you by the right hand (Isaiah 41:13). I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD (Matthew 28:20).

Do not let your heart be troubled, trust in me (John 14:1). I will help you(Isaiah 41:14). When you pass through the deep waters, I will be with you.Your troubles will not overwhelm you. The hard trials that will come will
not hurt you. (Isaiah 43:2). When you walk through the valley of the shadows of death, do not be afraid because I am with you. My rod and my staff will comfort you. I will lead you in the path of righteousness (Psalm 23).

I will give you peace in the midst of a storm, not as the world giveth. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). Peace I give which will pass all understanding and shall keep your heart and mind
(Philippians 4:7). When you lie down, do not be afraid. Your sleep shall be sweet (Proverbs 3:24). My love for you will keep your dwelling safe (Psalm 4:8).

Beloved, my eyes are upon you and I will give you hope, for I am merciful(Psalm 33:18). You will have access to my grace and rejoice in hope while sharing in the glory of my Father (Romans 5:2). I will give you joy and peace. The mountains and hills will sing, and the trees will clasp their
hands before you (Isaiah 55:12). You may have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice and no one will take your joy from you(John 16:22).

Do not worry (Luke 12:9). Even the hairs of your head have all been counted,so there is no need to be afraid of anything (Matthew 10:30). The mountains may depart and the hills will be shaken, but my steadfast love for you will
never end (Isaiah 54:10). Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28).

Come, my love. Come, I will lead you into solitude and there I will speak tenderly to your heart. I will be true and faithful. I will show you constant love and make you mine forever. I will keep my promise, and you will really know me then as never before. I am who I am (Exodus 3:14). I am
the Lord your God (Hosea 13:4).

Your Faithful Friend,
Jesus

Aren't long weekends wonderful?

I am so happy to have this long weekend.  My Saturday was spent running around and having some fun.  My day started with running some unwanted yard  items ( old wicker chair and settee, trash cans, and misc things) to our city park.  Twice a year the city brings in trash trucks and dumpsters to the park to make getting rid of old, tired, worn, broken things easier for us instead of having to carry it all to the landfill.  We didn't have any little things this year, mainly bigger items so it didn't take us long.  So off we headed to rid ourselves of the unwanted baggage.

Then we were off to do some yard saling.  And yard saling we did.  We also traipsed through the craft fair at ColorFest.  We finally got back home around 2:30 and my body was aching from all the walking. So I took a little nap and headed out again, only to get back home with bags of goodies all over the place and no energy to put them away.  So that leads me to what I am going to be doing the rest of the weekend.

Now for my do-list for the next two days-

• Clean my kitchen (completely) wash down my cabinets and counters, clean out fridge, run dishwasher, possibly rearrange my countertops.
• Put goodies (from saturday away)find a home for all my little treasures
• Spend some time reading - Picked up some reading material last weekend and again this weekend.  One book for pleasure and one for a bible study.
• Complete some computer work- upload some pictures to the web, create a new banner for the holidays, to be used at a later time.  Work on organizing some of my computer files, etc.
• Bake- some pumpkin bread and possible make something using some of my apples.
• Cook- I am craving for some home cooking, I get tired of eating quick type meals. Hopefully I will have plenty of leftovers to carry to work this week.
• Get to the antique mall (I always like to check it out several times a month)
• Craft projects- I have several projects that I need to complete.  Get out the black spray paint. 

I am sure there is more, but most likely will not get all these accomplished.  But I hope I get most of them done.  What a awesome feeling it would be to go back to work with all that behind me. What are you working on this weekend?

Have a blessed Sunday!

Can you say giveaway?

Judy at Homespun Blessings is at it again.  She has some adorable Fall goodies she is giving away (her drawing is Wednesday) so you have time to jump over and let her know you would like to be in her drawing. If you stop by for a visit let her know that I sent ya. 

I will be out and about today at the ColorFest in Thurmont Maryland.  If you want to find out more about it, check out my entry from yesterday.  The weather should be perfect.  I hope I will have some great finds to share with you over the next several days. 

I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to this long weekend.  I hope you have a great one too.  What do you have planned for the weekend?

Hugs,

Cindy
