My Craft Night Accomplishment

This picture frame is the result of a fun filled craft night at Carlie's mom Louise's house. Carlie is my friend Jenny's sister in law. (Whew, there's a chain for you to follow!) I am SO happy with how this turned out! The scripture is from John 14:27. (Amidst all the crazy Cricut activity I forgot to cut out the reference, I may or may not add it later.)

When I was in YW one of my advisors (wish I could remember which so I could thank her...) gave us a little printed handout one Sunday with this scripture on it. It was taped to the wall in my bedroom next to my lightswitch while I was a teenager, where I read it multiple times a day for years... (people like young women leaders will never know the full scope of the positive impact they can have!) Anyway, it definitely became my favorite scripture, and I've been trying to find some way to display it for a while now with no success, so I am excited to have this done!

You may not be impressed, but if you understand and accommodate for my lack of vision and artistic talent then you will be! Everything is just vinyl lettering and designs from the Cricut that I transferred to the frame. Easy in theory, but again, lack of crafting talent means it took me a while!! (In fact it took me the WHOLE NIGHT to figure out fonts and text sizes so I could cut everything out, and I had to bring it all home and finish it on my own!)

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Louise!! I could not have done this without your help and generous sharing of your supplies! It truly means so much to me to have this! I love how it turned out!

Jack and Benjamin :-)

These two get cuter together every day, so much fun! Watch out Jack, here comes lovin!! ;-)


It is SO much fun to watch the puppy outside!
