Terrific Tuesday #83-Bonus Tuesday In The Month Of November

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #83~ 
With an extra Tuesday in November, I would like to share a few photos from my recent trip to Nashville, Tennessee, with my daughters. In the picture to the left, I'm sitting on the porch of the home we stayed at. We went to the local Farmers Market, visited the Johnny Cash Museum, and saw the Alan Jackson concert. I enjoyed the trip and will forever be thankful for the experience. 



Today's Scripture reading,
"Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #82-Product Of The Month

~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #82~
This month I'm featuring a product I love from Stampin Up the Watercolor Pencils. They are high-quality, smooth color pencils that don't break when you use them. Such a great feature. I gifted a set to my sister, who loves to color, and she was so impressed with the quality. If you would like to order a set, contact me. My contact form is on the sidebar of this blog. 

Today's Scripture reading,
"The LORD is my strength and my defense; He has become my salvation. He is my God, and I will praise Him, my Father's God, and I will exalt Him. Exodus 15:2 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #81-My Creating Process

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #81~
My daughter is hosting an engagement party, and she asked me to create some little party favors. She had an idea of something she wanted, yet she told me I could have "creative freedom" to make it cute.
I like that she gave me this permission 😉.
So I set out to create a tag with the bags she purchased. Her one request was that the tag read "Happy Engage-Mint" and put Life Savers individually wrapped mints inside each bag. I printed on white card stock with a little bit of playing around with fonts and images; I then used circle punches to create each tag. She also wanted name cards to match the tag on the bag. Here is my end result:

You might wonder about my daughter's reaction when I showed her the prototype before I created 15 tag and name card combinations. She said, "I love it, Mom." I was so happy she liked everything.

In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop, I offer one-of-a-kind handmade greeting cards and small gifts for purchase.

Today's Scripture reading: 
"For we live by faith, not by sight." 2 Corinthians 5:7

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #80-What To Write In A Card-Thanksgiving Or Thanking Someone

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #80~

The Thanksgiving Holiday here in the United States is on Thursday, November 25,2021. Are you planning to send a card to family and friends? If you are, I offered some suggestions and Bible verses to include in a Thanksgiving card in this post.
Another idea would be to send a card to someone to thank them for being a part of your life. Here are a few suggestions:
  • As we give thanks, I want to thank you for your friendship at this time of year. Include a memory.
  • I'm thankful that you are my _______________________________ here you could add son, daughter, mother, father, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, depending on the relationship of who you are sending the card to.
  • I appreciate that you are a part of my life. May God bless you each and every day.
In my Joyful Heart Gift Shop, I offer handmade greeting cards and small gifts for purchase.

Today's Scripture reading:
"Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful." Colossians 4:2

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.
