"It's The Twos Tuesday"

 Hello crafty friends, followers, and viewers.  It is 2-22-22.  Happy Twosday! Don’t miss out celebrating the coolest date of the decade.  According to Megan Marples, CNN, "Good things come in twos. At least this Tuesday it does.  The date is February 22, 2022. When you write it, 2/22/22, it’s a palindrome, meaning it reads the same forward and backward. It also falls on a Tuesday, which is now referred to as Twosday.  It’s the most exceptional date in over a decade, according to palindrome enthusiast Aziz Inan. He’s a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Portland in Oregon, and he has been studying palindrome dates for over 14 years.  It’s a ubiquitous palindrome date because it’s a palindrome when it’s written in the United States format of month, day, year, and the format most other countries follow of day, month, year, Inan said.  “I feel that these dates have magical power in terms of getting people’s attention, no matter what age,” he said.

Has these numbers caught your attention?  Do you think they are magical?  Will you play them for a chance to win on a lottery ticket?  Tell me about it.

My bible journaling card 2-16-2022
This will be used as an encouragement card.  We need to step back and examine our lives daily.
A "Little Birdie" canvas piece with distress inking and lace were used to create this card.  It will be added to https://www.wordartwednesday.blogspot.com
I had a purple and yellow kind of feeling.  I had to find those colors among my cardstock and other mediums.  

Thanks for viewing.

"Fairies, Butterflies and Christmas In July Card"

Happy Friday to all the beautiful people.
Today is July 19, 2019 and just in case my granddaughter opens this blog...it is one more week before her 11th birthday on next Friday.
I've been contemplating what to get an eleven year old.  She has so many dolls but by going into middle school, I think the dolls have already been put away.  She has so many Lego sets that her mom doesn't have space to put anymore...I guess that's the reason she has left several sets at my house that we bought on different occasions for her to play with.  She has different means of using technology (phone, ipad, and laptop).  She wants a 3D printer and grandma doesn't want to spend that amount of money at this time for her age.  For this birthday, we will just give her some money and let her buy whatever she can out of the amount she gets.  This will make it easy on us (lol).

Friday is usually creating from my stash.  I use anything that has already been cut, colored or comes on a sticker or in a pack.  Take a look at my three projects for today.  All the paper and die cuts were already cut and made.  The butterflies came from bought packs as well as the flowers.

It's the weekend and it is extremely hot outside.  There will be no beach or any other outside activity.  Maybe a little window shopping where we can dash in and out of the air condition.  We have stayed in for the last two weekends due to my daughter dropping off and picking up our granddaughter.  It is time for the "old folks" to be on their own (lol).

Have a nice weekend break everyone.  Please come again and I hope you enjoyed your view today.

Sending you a hug and love,
Lois

"Thankful"

Happy Easter Monday and Earth Day to all the beautiful people.
You deserve a card today (smile).  My inspiration comes from "inside joy", the kind that you feel in your heart.  I'm thankful for sharing and participating in  making others happy in the last couple of days.  Now, the card is made and I feel good about it.  I cannot send it to myself so it will be shared again with someone else.
God is so good!  I'm thankful!
On Friday evening my husband and I ventured out  to a church service in the storm that was developing in the atmosphere.  Just before leaving home, the weather report was issuing a tornado watch for a town near our location.  As the service started, the lights flickered several times and initially went out for the duration of the program.  Most people were using the light on their phones to see.  We left and came home to lights and the evidence of heavy rain while we were gone.
On Saturday, my husband went to the area where the tornado had been forecast the night before.  There was evidence of trees twisted and  broken  but no damage to homes.  The report given on the evening news affirmed that a tornado had hit that area.
We were in the middle of a storm that was happening  five miles before and five miles behind  the church we attended on Friday night and the most we can say is that the lights went out.  There was no evidence of strong winds, heavy rain, lightning or thunder while we sat in church.
What an amazing God we serve. I'm thankful!
He didn't allow any damage to come into the area we were in.
On Sunday, everyone who had attended that service talked about how good/great the service was.  I commented and said, "It was what the LORD wanted.  He wanted us to sit in quiet to hear from HIM through the mouths of the people who spoke.  Man can't plan for something like that to happen again because it will not be the same".
I'm thankful for God's grace and mercy!

Here is the card I'm sharing:
