Finger Print Friday :o)

There is a song by Steven Curtis Chapman that says:

I can see the fingerprints of God

When I look at you

I can see the fingerprints of God

And I know its true

You're a masterpiece

That all creation quietly applauds

And you're covered with the fingerprints of God

So look around you and see where YOU can see God's fingerprints. Is it in nature? Kids? Animals? Where do you see them?

Here's how to join in:

1. Blog with your interpretation of God's fingerprints. Be sure to link back here so others can find the entire list of participants!

2.Check out Pampering Beki's blog for other Beautiful finger prints, and to link your own!

This beautiful blossom is from our tomato plant. I am always in awe of Gods' design. Such a tiny delicate thing and it will become something to sustain life!

I hope your weekend holds many blessings Canela

Boutique Angels are taking it to the Bidders!

Have you Heard of the Boutique Angels?

Every Three months some of Ebay's childrens Boutique designers get together for a cause and sell their designs to help others.

This time they are donating all proceeds of every auction to help Fight Juvenile Diabetes!

One of the members of the Design group I am part of knows the hardships that this disease causes on those so young.

Jodie of KJNCM is mom to Mitchell. Mitchell is a strong and vibrant young man. His dream is to join the army some day, but due to his diabetes that can not happen at this time.

Search Boutique Angels Charity on eBay and bid on some amazing items to help young girls and boys see that there desires for life are not just dreams!

I will be listing several items over the next few days.

For a peek at the first one go here!

They Grow way too fast!!!

My baby is three months old today!

Watching them grow is so conflicted with joy and sorrow. They sweet quiet cuddles spent with a new born are fleeting and soon they are rolling and and you are packing away they tiny outfit you brought them home in.

Ah, the bitter sweet moments of motherhood. Kaiya is in her last year of elementary school now. Thomas is in first grade now. Gabriel is in kindergarten. What ever will I do with only three at home during the day! ;o) I do miss the baby days but we are so proud of the people they are becoming!

Give your angels a hug!
