Greetings and Holykisses,This past week, I was challenged to be a blessing to at least one person every single day. I can't tell you how marvelous this week has been, by simply putting this challenge into practice. Once I started, I found that I didn't want it to stop! It's definitely something I'll be very mindful of from now on to continue every single day. And-- it also gives me more reasons to find myself sitting in this chair more often than I already do. lol
Once I made my commitment to God and asked Him to show me who to bless, I kept finding interesting people in my path and my mind flooding with ideas of things to do. Talk about taking an ordinary day to an extraordinary day!
Here's my Friday Tique n Flea find, all full-a- buttons! Some of you wrote me and thought I should make this "vintage curio" home to both buttons and books, but you've never seen "the buttons." heehee I've been collecting them since the Lord turned my world purple, and then a few months ago, I was blessed by Mike's Auntie, who gave me Grandma C's button collection! If you're wondering how the Lord turned my world purple; you might like to read here!
I cleaned, sorted and rearranged long into the night last night. Addie and Francoise stayed by my side to the finish; although they did sack out on me! After all that dusting and cleaning, I coulda laid down beside em. lol
Least I'll beable to find supplies faster now when I'm working on something!
Speaking of which, think I'll head back out there and find my way back to my little perch.
I'm working on a button card with scripture, transforming a flowerpot from the Salvation Army, and a tag Shabby Phyllis sent!
Have fun being creative if you too are inspired to begin the Blessing A Day Challenge.

Have a great sabbath!

My hubs said the paiting of rr ties wouldn't work due to the creosote. drats.
I noticed your lovely bulletin board, would you tell me how to do that?
Love YOU!
God has been placing my heart to do the same as you have been doing this week....and I'm spurred on now to walk in it...Proverbs 27:17..you did that girl...Thanks SO much for sharing and for inspiring me.
You are a blessing all the time and busy as a bee.
Hope you have a great holiday.
