Terrific Tuesday #91-Product Of The Month

I would like to share some adorable doilies that Stampin Up recently added to their product line this month. The colors are Basic Gray, Cinnamon Cider, and Misty Moonlight. They come 30 to a package, 10 each of each color. The one thing nice about these doilies is that they are white on the opposite side, so you can stamp a sentiment on that side as well. Here are a few ideas on how to use them:

Terrifc Tuesday #89-What To Write In A Card To Give Someone Some Encourgement

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #89~
We are in our second week of 2022, and perhaps some of you might be feeling overwhelmed trying to accomplish goals, change new habits, exercise more, eat healthier, and the list can go on and on. The truth is we don't have to do it all at once, and we can choose one and work on it for the first quarter of this year. In the next quarter, we can choose another one throughout the year.
There might be a family member or friend that could use some encouragement. We could send them a little card. I have compiled a list of ideas of what to write inside the card:
  • I'm sending you a card instead of a text.
  • A note to say hi. I thought of you today.
  • God loves you, and so do I.
  • You are loved today and always.
Today's Scripture reading:
"Wisdom's instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor." Proverbs 15:33 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #87-Product Of The Month

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #87~
This month I'm featuring Multipurpose Liquid Glue. This is my go-to adhesive when I create handmade cards and small gifts. I like the fact that when I use this product, it gives me a little wiggle room to get my paper and embellishments straightened to my project before it dries. The other nice thing about the Multipurpose Liquid Glue is that it creates a strong bond giving me confidence that my project won't fall apart and it dries clear.

If you would like to purchase products from Stampin Up, feel free to contact me. I would be happy to help you with your order. My contact form is on the sidebar of this blog.


Today's Scripture reading,
"Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.'" - Lamentations 3:22-24 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #86-My Creating Process

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #86~
With Christmas coming on Saturday, December 25, 2021, I like to give my coworkers a little something.
So I packaged up some tea bags along with some mints. I found this cute poem about tea that I included with the tea bags. I would also like to share the poem with you: 
On Christmas Day,
At half-past three,
Make yourself a cup of tea,
I'll think of you,
You think of me,
Underneath the Christmas tree

Here is a photo of my presentation for each of my coworkers:

Today's Scripture reading:
"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9:6

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.
