Terrific Tuesday #94-My Creating Process

 ~Hello, and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #94~

On Saturday, February 12, 2022, was our local indoor Farmers Market. The weather was a bitter ten below zero here in Minnesota; along with five other vendors, we anticipated a small crowd. However, we were very thankful for the fantastic turnout of people who stopped by to support us. I enjoyed visiting with people and helping them find a suitable handmade greeting for their needs. Indeed a blessing, and I'm very grateful. 

Today's Scripture reading:
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud." 1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

Terrific Tuesday #93-What To Write In A Valentine's Day Card

~Hello and welcome to Terrific Tuesday #93~
Exactly a week from today will be Valentine's Day, Tuesday, February 14, 2022. I shared some ideas on what to write inside a Valentine's Day card in this post. Today, I would like to offer some Bible verses to include with your Valentine's Day cards:

"We love because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19 (NIV)

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23 (NIV)

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them." 1 John 4:16 (NIV)

"Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children and walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God." Ephesians 5:1-2 (NIV)

Today's Scripture reading:
"Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs." Proverbs 10:12 (NIV)

May you have a Terrific Tuesday and a blessed week.

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.
