Happy Birthday, Tyler!

Another family birthday today!  This time we celebrate Tyler who is turning 14 years old today!  We actually celebrated both Jeff and Tyler's birthdays yesterday.
While Jeff's favorite pie is the GOLDEN LEMON CHEESE PIE (recipe is on yesterday's blog post) Tyler prefers fresh raspberries.  I made a fresh raspberry pie, but kept out some seperate for Tyler and Gracie to eat alone.

This is the card that I made for Tyler

It is so hard to believe that he is turning 14 years old already and is just completing his middle school years.  Next fall...High School!!

"Rockin' Round the Clock".
Remember this song from Happy Days television program way back when?
Now the kids today are "rockin" to a new beat with the guitar hero thing on Wii.

We have several of our teens from church who play guitar, and some that will play on our worship team. So great that God can use ALL instruments for HIS glory!!
Now what will you do with yours??

Have a Blessed Day!!

Talent Night

Each summer our church holds 6 Wednesday Night Fellowship Dinners. A few of them are set aside for something specific. For example one night they have a fun water carnival which is a big hit with the kids (and the kids at heart). The final evening is set aside for worship through music. Kind of like your old fashioned hymn sing, but the kids love to be able to choose which songs we sing. This past Wednesday was our TALENT NIGHT of which I am the coordinator. This has quickly grown into one of the favorite nights in the summer. This year we had 15 different and unique talents that were shared. When it is all done I send out a thank you to all who participated and include a photo that I took during their talent. So here is a look at the participants and the card they will receive. (Can’t have a posting without a card – right?)

Our piano players… Erin and Ila both received this card…

Jake and Susie and Jacob and the sisters

(Julia, Janey, Abby and Alex)all received this card…My friend Laura received this card… I don’t think the guys would have appreciated the ribbon rose (tehe).

Our two guitaristJake and Emily received this card…

Our amazing fiddler, Grace, received this card…This card-
I sent to several people… 1. An unusual talent was Jake who also doubled as Co-MC solved Rubix Cubes puzzles 4 of them in 5 min. 2. Mrs. Dodge displayed her oil paintings that she painted at 90 years old…You are never too old to try something new or at least stay active with something you love. (like making cards te-he) 3. The girls (Destinee, Angie, and Kelsey) that did an inspirational and fun skit from Ecclesiaties – a book of the Bible that our pastor had recently finished going through.

Our dancers Amara and Jenna and Andrea all received this card because they remind me of beautiful butterflies when they dance. You just saw this card last week on my techniques posting. I love it when I have the opportunity to use these cards.

A fun fun skit by Ben, Curtis, Cherie and Karie was a blast! They even used my bubble blowing machine for the great bath time effect. They all got this card…
Our son, Jeff had been memorizing the book of Ephesians for about a year now so he recited that to us. I was so amazed, and not sure why because he has always been good with memory, but how pleased we are that he chooses to memorize God’s word is a true blessing. Even though EVERY act was GREAT, he was the only one that night to get a standing ovation. What that says to me is that our church body truly loves the word of God, and so I believe it was not Jeff they gave the ovation to, but to our Heavenly Father who gave us His Word. I gave Jeff this card… Simple and Elegant a great guy thank you Chris (our youth director) was our main MC for the evening and I am so thankful for how he pulls it all together because if it had to be me up there we wouldn’t have a talent night – I am strictly a behind the scenes girl. Perhaps you saw my Build a Bear card way back when. I wasn’t sure who would be the lucky one to get it, but when I added a microphone to his hand it made it perfect to give to Chris. I’m sorry this was such a long post, but the evening was so much fun I wanted to share it with you.

So For Now…

Happy Stamping!!

And USE those talents!!!
