Body aches
Sneezing
Watery eyes
And I'm just plain tired.......
Jill of Balliwick Studio wants to know if you'd like to be her Valentine....and she'd like to know by February 1st! Visit her today for a sweet chance for this pretty package! Doesn't that ribbon look luscious?! The package is full of some lovely goodies too!
I got this very cute little desk calendar for 50% off at Books-A-Million. I looked around on the web to see if I could find it anywhere, but it looks like it's sold out. I'll save the notes as I tear them of and scan some of them to share on my blog...so far I'm loving them all!
Here's a peek at today's "sticky note".

I also bought a skein of yarn and a little "I Taught Myself Knitting" booklet that came with needles too. It's a good thing my sticky note reminded me about being grateful. After speading about 30 minutes trying to teach myself to knit ~ well, let's just say I wasn't feeling real grateful about owning the booklet, the yarn & the needles!
But that's okay ~ because in about 8 days I will be heading off to Williamsburg for two days, with my friends Tisha & Patricia. I will be bringing along the booklet, the yarn & the needles ~ and Tisha will be teaching me how to knit. Okay Tisha?? Please!
Of course if Tisha does teach me to knit I will change the name of the little booklet to:
"Tisha Taught Me to Knit"
But I don't have to feel this way......there is a solution.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Matthew 11:28-30
He calls out to people who are running in circles, weary from trying to be all and do all, burdened by the effort of living in this broken world by our own inadequate resources. He invites us to come to Him and learn from Him. That's where we find rest for our souls. I really want to dig deep and explore this aspect as I focus on this one little word......

“For You formed my inward parts;You wove me in my mother’s womb.I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Wonderful are Your works,And my soul knows it very well.”Psalm 139:13-14When I left work Wednesday evening, the sky was amazing ~ pinks, oranges, yellows, blues, purples & grays. So beautiful! I took my camera out of my purse that morning and forgot to put it back in. Then I remembered that my cell phone had a camera.
The first two photos were taken with my cell phone.I went here Sunday afternoon.
With three grandbabies around, there are a whole lot of best faces going on in my life! When I saw this shot of Charlotte my immediate thought was "what a great face!" So, I thought I'd share it on iheartfaces.
Besides the subject, the only thing special about this photo is that it was taken with my new camera. I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to photography but I'm having fun trying to learn new things!
Stop by Wednesday for a peek at my other two cuties.
