oops:Didn't keep my commitment. But here is my update - rather late than never. Autumn is peeping here in South Africa. Because my mother tongue is Afrikaans I understand the site's origin a little - Afrikaans was derived from Dutch.
Therefore I was in shock when I realised this was actually a blog for the elderly. I am interested to know the age of you who reads this blog. Feel free to reply.
Very busy with my grade 0 and 1 kiddies. They are a busy joy.God is really doing great things in and through their small lifes. My husband is climbing the corporate ladder and is performing very well at his job. We praise God for that!. He and kids went to 'n big rugby match yesterday afternoon (they know by now to count me out... rugby is not one of my passions). By the way my husband helped out with the Dendermondse rugby club when he was still a teacher...
My mom and dad had their 40th wedding anniversary recently. It was quite a festivity! I ( with the help of my husband) created a slide show "surprise" for the occasion. Was great fun and took me 54 hours to create. Inserted pictures from their wedding day, youth, etc.; added sound effects which caused a few good laughs.
I will include the poem that I write for my parents. Take note - I have full copyright!! No publishing without my permission thanks. The lucky ones that know Flemish and Dutch might understand some of it.
As you know by now, I am a housewife somewhere in Africa...I am blessed with a fabulous husband and two lovely kids (my big bubble and my small bubbles...)
I was a teacher but became a stay-at-home mom when the eldest was born a few years ago.
Then "project sanity" as I call it, started. God blessed me with so may ideas and I just want to share pictures of simple things I make (and sometines sell).
Because I do laundry, drive the kids to school and have to do all those mom-wife-woman things, I will only be able to log on to my blog when I have me-time.
Any uplifting comments and blessings are welcome, otherwise silence is golden.
Once a month I will update and share a blessing.
Matthew 6:26 - Look at the birds of the air...Are you not of more value than they? (NKJ version, 1982).
....Poverty of purpose is far worse than poverty of purse!
Be blessed! Crafty
PS Above you can see an example of the jewelry that I make. It made such a lovely composition when I used small broken glass beads and glued it onto the cross. And that's exactly what God does. He takes a normal broken being like me and is actively and lovingly involved in my life to bring out His glory and splendour!!
