True Love Story

And I shall see Him  face to face, And tell the story: saved by grace. - Fanny J. Crosby - Wonderful grace of Jesus, Greater than all my sin; How shall my tongue describe it, Where shall its praise begin? Taking away my burden, Setting my spirit free; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching to all the lost, By it I have been pardoned, Saved to the uttermost, Chains have been torn asunder, Giving me liberty; For the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Wonderful grace of Jesus, Reaching the most defiled, By its transforming power, Making him God’s dear child, Purchasing peace and heaven, For all eternity; And the wonderful grace of Jesus reaches me. Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus, Deeper than the mighty rolling sea; Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me, for even me. Broader than the scope of my transgressions, Greater far than all my sin and shame, O magnify the precious Name of Jesus. Praise His Name! - Haldor Lillenas - Ye chosen s...

Sir Bennet is returning home to protect his family  from an imminent attack by neighboring lords who seek repayment of debts.  Without fortune or means to pay those debts,  Sir Bennet realizes his only option  is to make a marriage match with a wealthy noblewoman.  As a man of honor, he loathes the idea of courting a woman for her money,  but with time running out for his family’s safety, what other choice does he have? As Lady Sabine and Sir Bennet are thrust together under dangerous circumstances,  will they both be able to learn to trust each other enough to share their deepest secrets?  Or will those secrets ultimately lead to their demise? My Thoughts For Love & Honor  is a young ad...

It's hard to believe April is coming to an end and May will be here before we know it Along with May comes the joy of celebrating Mother's or motherly role models on Mother's Day. Since Mother's Day is less than 3 weeks away I thought I would share a fun and easy tutorial for lavender sachets that are perfect to give on Mother's Day. Supplies needed: scrap fabric stamps ink dried lavender embellishments The reason these sachets are called "Tea Bag Lavender Sachets" is simply because they are in the shape of a tea bag. Cut two pieces of fabric that are  4 1/2-inches long and 3-inches wide. Fold the two piece of fabric in half and trim the corners as seen in the picture below. Your fabric should look like this Stamp a sweet message or picture onto some white or cream cotton fabric and then cut out th...
