This Was a Test

My wonderful kids (w/help from their wonderful Dad) bought me a camera for

Christmas! It's a Nikon Coolpix P510

I saw this lovely male cardinal in our butterfly bush, and

decided to try out my zoom....

what do you think!?

pretty cool huh?

I thought they came out great considering I was just standing inside my kitchen window-

and was just fooling around. :)

Everyday Is A Gift!

I know that everyday is a gift! Since I was sick in 2011--I am constantly reminded of this when I wake up in the morning!

And so, when I saw this great wall art at the Dollar Tree--I couldn't resist!

Well worth the $1!

I also picked up these as well:

I thought that these added thoughts that truly reflected my own, and love

seeing them on the walls of my home.

Another neat feature about these is that they can be removed easily, and repositioned

elsewhere.  I think they were a great bargain!

Hope that throughout this month of January you have felt that....

EVERYDAY IS A GIFT!

Blessings, Sharri

Money Challenge...

I saw this today on facebook--and, I'm thinking of trying it....

thought I'd pass it along in case you want to try  it too?

Oh, only I'm planning on doing it backwards! :)

Happy New Year!

From our house to yours...Happy New Year!

I sincerely hope that your year has gotten off to a great start.

In contemplating the year just past, it has been a "full" year. Lots of things happening.

Some good, some bad.

But all are profitable.

In looking forward to the year ahead, I am reminded by my bible reading

that I really need to make serving the Lord GOD my focus.

That is my main goal for this year.

I pray that GOD will enable me to be faithful to Him in what I say and do this year.

“So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” Psalm 90:12

May we all make this New Year count for Him!
