Terrific Tuesday #48-Bonus Tuesday In The Month Of March

 ~ Welcome to Terrific Tuesday #48~
With an extra Tuesday in March, I would like to share a photo taken during a walk with my daughters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, of the Stone Arch Bridge. If you would like to read more about this bridge, I have included a link here.

If you are looking for some handmade greeting cards, I offer a variety in my Joyful Heart Gift Shop.

Today's Scripture reading:
“For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. God sent His Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through Him." John 3:16-17

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #47-Product Of The Month

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday~
This month I would like to share a stamp set called Happy Thoughts from Stampin Up. The sentiments pair nicely for the outside of a card as well as the inside of a card.




If you are looking for some handmade greeting cards, my Joyful Heart Gift Shop has a variety to choose from.

Today's Scripture reading
"Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:31-32

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #46-My Creating Process

 ~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #46~
I enjoy creating handmade greeting cards, and although I do send cards to family and friends as well as give cards as gifts, I thought it would be nice to find a way to donate some of them. So, I contacted a local assisted living home if they were in need of cards, their answer was  "yes, we would love to have them."
I'm happy to share with you that I was able to donate 100 all-occasion handmade greeting cards to an assisted living facility locally here where I live. The cards have been well received and the residents have appreciated having them. 

In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop, I offer a variety of handmade greeting cards and small gifts.

Today's Scripture reading:
"The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #45-What To Write In A Card-Just A Note

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #45~

It's nice to have a few cards on hand that say "Just A Note" on the outside when you want to send someone a note. Here are a few suggestions as to what to write on the inside of the card:
  • To say hello.
  • To let you know, I'm thinking of you.
  • To say I love you.
  • To tell you thank you.
  • To tell you, I appreciate all the little things you do.
  • Include a Bible verse.
  • Share a fun memory.


In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop, I offer a variety of handmade greeting cards and small gifts.

Today's scripture reading:
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that by the power of the Holy Spirit, you may abound in hope." Romans 15:13 (ESV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.
