Creating fun printables for you is one of my favorite things to do. I was thinking of my daughters and their classes at co-op when I drew these. I wanted something fun that would work for boys and girls. You can print this file on 8.5 x 11 paper. I used plain cardstock. To cut in fours, make cuts at the 4.25 and 5.5 inch marks. They will fit in A2 envelopes. You can download the file HERE. My...
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.” James 1:2-4As I interact with baby #3, now two weeks old, it keeps striking me what a different mommy I am than when I had my first baby. No, I haven’t morphed into super-mommy or “arrived” by any means (Philippians 3:12), but God has changed...

Feel free to add some light blue and gray to your polar bear’s fur. If you want to make...

“Forever is composed of nows,” wrote Emily Dickinson. My life is made up of these nows that make up forever, so I thought I’d share a collection of recent ones today. This collection reminds me that, although my life seems mostly crazy and challenging, it is full of beauty to celebrate and thank God for. Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.” my drawing princess I think there’s some theology...
