Thursday - Living in Joy

Happy Thankful Thursday and hope you're having a sweet day so far. I start by thanking God for a life filled with JOY. Regardless of the work and challenges, overall my life is joyful. I find happiness in my relationship with God and family & friends. I'm so thankful because my teen kids volunteered to assist at Bible Camp this week. They are in charge of elementary children and they have been having so much fun. I'm glad that they are learning to serve others.

I am also thankful for my Aunt Connie who has given me a renewed love for shabby chic decor. There are so many shops, boutiques, flea markets, and antique stores; and we are slowly making our way through them all.

Tablescape Thursday has to be one of the blog parties I enjoy the most. I remember as a young girl I would set the table and try to bring joy to our home. Family time is so important for me and my kids, and enjoying special meals gives us time to enjoy each other.

I am strutting my stuff at Somewhat Simple. Sometime back I was having an apron give away. I was so happy to hear that the winners really liked the Freedom of Speech aprons I made. It was joyful to give from the heart and brighten some one's day. Below is a picture of one of the winners wearing the apron.

This weekend I am getting my craft on at Life as Lori. I have several new sewing ideas I want to try out but first I need to finish some pillows. I need to look for pom-pom embelishments at the fabric stores because my inventory is running low. I really like the bright bold colors for summer.

More blog events and parties going on. Click here and have enjoy!
