When it's all said and done.....

No, not 14 inches......

Not even 21 inches......

But 22 inches!!!!!

So much snow you're husband could build an igloo....or attempt to build an igloo.

So much beautiful snow, snow, snow!!

Playing all day in it type of snow!

Wow, look at our back deck. This is where we did our measuring from.

The power went out at 10:00 am. It was one of the most peaceful days. I did some cleaning which was cut short because I couldn't use the vacuum. So we turned on the gas fireplace and I set up to do some art. I almost finished my valentine's day wreath and did some art journaling and reading.

Then I stepped outside as the last flakes fell and there was a sunset. After the big, bad blizzard left we got a beautiful sunset. It was like it wasn't snowing all day.

just a little update

I love sunrises and sunsets. Unfortunately I don't have a good view from my house of sunsets but I do of sunrises. Well sort of, I kind of have to smoosh my face to the window but still I get to see them. I was just reminded of when we were stationed in Kentucky, I had the best view of the sun setting every evening overlooking an open field in our back yard. Now I have sunrises. This was Monday morning this week.
This picture is from Wednesday morning this week! We had snow last weekend, then on Tuesday night and now we're getting ready for another wammy this weekend! This was just breathtaking to me.
And of course my favorite tree. Firm, fixed and stable changing with the seasons. This is the first time I've captured it beautifully draped with snow. I know I'm behind on this weeks paintings, I hope to have #10 and #11 done tonight. I also plan on getting the rest of my items updated to the vintage shop this weekend as well. I guess the good thing about the storm is it will be forcing me to get some work done! Stay tuned!

#9 and a new thing

"For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true."

Ephesians 5:8,9.

I attempted something new today. Church was cancelled because of the snow we got yesterday. In my worship time with the Lord I tried to do a painting. For a long time I've wanted to try this. I've have no problem worshiping the Lord by mixing with painting is a little hard to me. I meditated on the music and him and this is what came forth.

All caught up. #6, #7, #8

"Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn."Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the arm.

Relief for Haiti

I'm having a sales over at my Etsy shop to support relief for Haiti. Everything in the shop is 20% now through Valentine's Day and half of all sales will go to Haiti Relief through Messenger International. Here is what John and Lisa Bevere posted on their facebook page:

“Officials in the United States have cleared the way for scores of Haitian orphans to leave their earthquake-ravaged homeland…” CNN

Given this groundbreaking news, we must seize the moment!

Messenger International’s CFO, Aaron Ramsay, and his wife, Tanya, have been in the process of adopting twin boys from Haiti through God’s Littlest Angels (one of Haiti's larger orphanages). Because of the extensive process, they have traveled to Haiti many times in the last 18 months and have built strong relationships with the orphanage staff and residents in the surrounding area. This connection has given Messenger International access to guarantee the relief will reach the most desperately affected areas of Haiti.

"While we’re grateful that our sons are alive and coming home, we realize other orphans will remain in Haiti who will not have enough food and water without our help. It’s imperative that we do all we can to keep them alive." Aaron Ramsay, MI Relief Team.

Even though some orphans will be released to their adoptive families, there is still extensive need for the orphans who will remain in Haiti. Because the orphanage is facing a severe shortage of necessities due to the devastating earthquake, the Messenger International Relief Team will deliver food, water, diapers, formula and medical supplies to sustain the orphans who will remain in Haiti.

This outreach is not yet paid for. We are committed but not yet covered. Let’s continue to use our resource and influence to shelter the hopeless and restore lives.Thank you to those who gave over the weekend!

Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Ps. 82:3-4, NIV

Thanks for you support!
