"March Is Women's History Month"

 Happy Monday, March 1, 2021 to everyone.

It is the beginning of March as well as the celebration of Women's History Month.  I encourage you to join in commemorating and encouraging the study, observance and celebration of the vital role of women in American history.  Black History month was in February.  I'm not sure how many of you studied, observed or celebrated during that time and it really doesn't matter.  Just remind yourself that it will be around again next year.  As most black Americans will say, "I celebrate my heritage all year long".  For what reason are we to celebrate Women during the month of March?  Between 1988 and 1994, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women’s History Month. Since 1995, presidents have issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as “Women’s History Month.” These proclamations celebrate the contributions women have made to the United States and recognize the specific achievements women have made over the course of American history in a variety of fields.  So, from me to you, Happy Women's History Month:

We've all had those special moments that we cannot forget.  What are some of yours?

When things seemed to be crumbling under our wings or feet...Stand Firm in the Faith.  God is still our provider and sustainer.

Have a great, enjoyable day.  Craft if you can.

Sending you a hug and love,

"BELIEVE"

Tuesday, March 7, 2017

Hello friends, followers, visitors and viewers.
Have you had your cereal or pancakes this morning?  Are you planning on cooking that pork roast for this evening?  Maybe you own a small business and today, you just want to be "heard".
Those are just a few things coming from National Day Calendar.

Yesterday, I wanted to know if you were dreaming.  Today, I want you to "believe" your dream is coming true.  Whatever you're thinking or praying for, just believe it will happen.
In honor of Women's History Month (March) and the celebration of  INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY - MARCH 8, 2017 , I  will join in to #BeBoldForChange!   I know and believe that women are outstanding individuals (you and I are prime examples).
Quotes taken from  http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/02/politics/womens-history-month-politics/ Women have  sacrificed much and worked hard in pursuit of a better world, where peace, dignity and opportunity can reign.   As we make headway on the crucial issues of our time, let the courageous vision championed by women of past generations inspire us to defend the dreams and opportunities of those to come.
 I'm proud of our achievement but still believe better things will come for our gender.
WE  MUST   BELIEVE!!

Offray ribbon and American Craft hemp cord.

I've also used a Sizzix scallop die and Spellbinders Fleur de lis die.  A Sizzix Big Shot was used to cut out die images.
