Ephesians 2:10

For we are God's Workmanship,
 created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
 which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:10


 This was one of my favorite art works to create, and in fact it was my moms idea of what to do with it. Me and my mom where working at our local thrift store when she walked up to me with a huge grin on her face. It looked like she would have found gold, except when she pulled this plain looking tray out from behind her back i looked sceptical. At first i thought using it for art was a crazy idea, i had no clue what i was going to put on it. Taking it home i though and thought for what seemed like forever, but then it came to me.. Vintage.. I wanted my tray to look old, worn out, used. 
I started looking online for old pictures of anything, flowers, coins, buttons, candles, keys, the bible, matches. You name it, anything. Once i had the objects i thought would create the look i wanted, i started cutting them out and using mod podge to glue it onto the tray. 
Finding the bible verse was the hardest, i prayed about it and spent may hours pondering and searching for the perfect verse. Then i finaly i found it, Epsesians 2:10. I don't know why this bible vesre spoke to me so much but i could feel it was the one. In the end i fell in love with this peice, it definitely was worth the hard work.

Happy Belated Mothers Day

My mother is a very special person in my life who knows how to cheer me up,
through ups and downs spats and frowns
i know she will never give up.
Even when in angry and mad she keeps loving me anyways,
her warm smiles and laughs 
blow away the scratch
that may have tweaked me that day. 

My mother has tought me the most important thing,
and that is to go along with life
not carring what people think.
My love for my mother goes strong and deep,
it makes me want to take a leap,
to smile and jump and let the world know that i love my mother so.

So even though its not mothers day,
and yes this message is alittle late
but since i love my mother alot,
i figured it doesn't matter what day,
as long as i say it anyway.

I Love You Mom!
