7 Months Waiting Art Giveaway

It’s that time yet again.  I like doing these giveaway pieces…I like documenting each month in a fun way, but no offense, I cannot wait to be done with this…done with the waiting and see the face of our little guy.  That will be a great day!  We our officially in the top 10 which is awesome and most of those ahead us are specifically asking for an infant, so I just keep thinking any day now, any day.  We shall see.

But until then we will keep celebrating each month with an art giveaway.  For this months piece I used a 12×12 canvas…went a little larger in size…and I used Revelations 1:15-18:

“His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice like the sound of rushing water.  In his right hand he held seven stars and coming out of his mouth was a sharp double edged sword.  His face like the sun shining in all its brilliance…  Then he placed his right hand on me and said:  “Do not be afraid.  I am the first and the last.  I am the living one…”

I remember studying this verse in one of my past Bible studies and always loved this description of God…How incredibly amazing it was and how reassuring that such an amazing God cared so much for me, little ole’ crappy, sinful me.  Simply amazing.

As always there are lots of ways to enter to win this piece.

PLEASE leave a separate comment for each entry.

Giveaway will end this Saturday, June 18th at midnight.  I will post the winner on Sunday.

I am so greatly appreciative of all the orders that have been placed.  I really cannot say thank you enough.  I promise I am working as quickly as I can to get orders completed and shipped out.

In other news I have been mad at work on another larger art piece, tons of camera straps and these little lovely key fobs.

In Kelley news, the kids and I discovered this amazing mirrored door this week.  What you aren’t as stoked as we were?  They loved it.

We also re-discovered tents.  We haven’t made one in a while, but I tied one up today and it was as if they had forgotten the million other times we have done this.

And lastly, my Bible study had our first official craft night tonight.  We decided to take the summer off and just make a new craft each week.  It was SO much fun.  I taught art lessons after school when I was a kindergarten teacher, so I was super excited to teach some sort of artsy something again.  This week I showed everyone how to make fabric flowers.  The ladies totally rocked.

I even got to hold sweet little Scarlett while assisting.  Scarlett got a new head band as well.  She totally needed one!

Lots and lots of sweet little goodies to take home for everyone.  I had a total blast and can’t wait for next week.

Happy Late, Late Wednesday Night!

Please pray for her to begin the healing process. Very hard being so far from her. She & her husband will be in court on June 23 & she is somewhat concerned as to how the judge may respond to her “looks” – not knowing if it will in any way affect this “passing court” verdict!! Thanks for your prayers. I am praying for your little fella – what a fun family he will be joining! God knows!!!

    Love it!

  182. Dear Laura,

    It’s such a delight reading about your family, the two little boys and the lovely girl and your endeavours. I am touched by your intentions and actions. I love Africa too but I have never been to the continent. I hope to someday volunteer in Uganda.

    I have similar feelings (as yours) about hunger, poverty, AIDS and the orphan crisis. One of the best things to happen to me is a friendship with a ‘Night Walker’ from Sudan. I have a sense of Africa’s spirit and it is so beautiful! I am born and live in India, a very beautiful country with endless generosity and love that she shares with and showers on everyone.

    I would love to win this giveaway of yours to have a little bit of you on my Wall so it reminds me of the power of love and generosity each day.

    I am your fan on FB and following you on Twitter with pleasure 🙂

    Warm regards,
    Mubin.
